July 31 in the Town of Frank

Oh my god ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, one second I saw the two of them in this situation I was almost crying, the next second I turned the page and saw Yang and suddenly laughed

Three times, I really like this short and delicate novel. I think Luo Kai's best thing is that he can write love so naturally and smoothly, making people fall deeply into it. Love the BIS series!

So romantic... Cheese, orange groves, afternoon sunshine, dreams, concerts, cocktails, bachelor apartments... Some daily elements are combined in Luo Kai's writing into a short story that is extremely romantic but also humorous and sad. Every time I read it, I sink into it, just like Carson sinking into the sunshine of the orange grove, attracted by their love that spans time... Oh, it's so beautiful!

That cycle of more than a hundred times, watching your lover forget you over and over again, but you remember nothing, that feeling of helplessness and despair... Hey, although there are only six chapters, it gives people a deep sense of shock...

Oh! Big twist in the last chapter hh By the way, I happen to be going to this university

It turns out that John is the one trapped in the ring. In short, true love is invincible.

I really like the setting of this article. True love can break through the limitations of time and space~

The Möbius strip in time orbit. When I saw this explanation, what flashed in my mind was "Groundhog Day" (This should belong to the general time loop mentioned in the article. Searching with "time Möbius strip" as the keyword, the only relevant entry is the movie "Looper" which was released later than the time of the article. The concept is not the same, so I boldly guess that this concept is original to the author?). At this point, I think about the question I had when I first read this story: What is the difference between the Mobius time loop and the ordinary time loop? According to the article, the ordinary time loop means that time will "go back" to the loop □ when it reaches the end of the loop, while the Mobius time loop means that time will "forward" to the loop □ when it reaches the end of the loop. However, whether it is "retreat" or "forward", the process from the end of the cycle to the end of the cycle is completed in an instant. What exactly happens in this instant is unknowable from a macro perspective, so it is a bit difficult for me, living in the macro world, to understand the difference between the two cycles (wry smile). Back to the story itself, Carson, who was trapped in a time cage, once again started a day dated July 31st. Experiencing the same day over and over again, which is not exactly the same, seems to be the state I am in during the holidays... I stay at home and read different books and movies every day. As long as I don't lose the memory of today, it doesn't seem to be a very important thing whether tomorrow will be August 1st. So why was Carson feeling hopeless while I was extra relaxed during the holidays? In addition to Carson's lover not recognizing him every second day, another reason is the mentality - I know that my vacation will eventually pass, and then life will return to normal. There will always be short-term or long-term goals waiting for me to complete, and life is full of hope; but Carson is always stuck in this day, with no tomorrow and no future. So people still need to think a little while they are alive. The reason why Carson found that he was living in a Möbius strip was because he desperately hoped that this day would pass, that he and John could have a beautiful and sweet second day of love, and that his lover would remember him and continue to love him. This desire is so strong that his will is strong enough to emit brainwaves with intensity that can radiate out of a Möbius strip, ultimately saving him and his lover (so if Carson and John had fallen in love on July 30th, wouldn't he have such powerful brainwaves^_^). What was very unexpected about this story was that at the end, I thought Carson was a victim of the Möbius strip, but it turned out that the original victim was his lover John, and Carson entered the ring because he saw John; and because of love, Carson retained all the memories of being in the ring. For Carson, love was "something that made him die of madness and give up all pursuits." Love does not have much power, but people can become extremely powerful because of love.

Woooooooooooo I didn't expect that it was John who was trapped. But one thing I care about is that Young said that the brain waves of people trapped in the Möbius strip will be exhausted within 150 to 180 years. Isn't that the theoretical maximum number of years that normal people on earth can survive? (Scratches head)

This tone is so correct that in just 10,000 words, I have already imagined a movie in my head. This damn extremely uncomfortable romance made me feel so uncomfortable reading it.
