(Taking a day off on 10/5. Something came up, so I'm not sure whether I'll update. If I have anything ready, I'll post it.)
I'll let you know when I need to take time off.
An AI-guided, devoted lover seme X an amoral, sharp-tongued, mentally ill uke
Jiang Shi X Chu Cheran
(Being amoral doesn't mean having no morals at all.)
I found an observation diary with the name “Chu Cheran” written on its title page.
That marked the start of a project that would last ten years, called “Observing and Guiding Chu Cheran's Behavioral Patterns.”
My task was to help him face reality and become a normal person.
Chu Cheran was ill. Mentally ill.
More precisely, he had paranoid delusions, along with a tendency toward self-destruction.
He was a thoroughly unpleasant person, cruel to others and even crueler to himself. He used the most malicious assumptions to judge everyone who came near him.
The fact that he hadn't died over the years was largely thanks to Jiang Shi.
But one thing really annoyed Chu Cheran: why was this person so determined to date him, like a dog that wouldn't let go?
Did nobody tell him I was sick?
I can't promise I'll love someone forever,
nor can I promise that, even if I love you today, tomorrow my fickle love won't drive me to kill you.
The only person I can trust is myself.
Love-hate relationship + getting back together after a breakup + healing + fantasy elements (angsty and bittersweet)
(If you don't enjoy love-hate relationships, don't force yourself to read this. This novel has many twists, and every turning point serves to move the plot forward.
In short: everything serves the story.)
Warning: Don't judge this novel by the standards of the real world. Chu Cheran is the main character. If this isn't your thing, feel free to leave. The author is writing for their own enjoyment and charging ahead without a care.
Theme: Love yourself before loving someone else.
