On the Dark River

Talking about their various possibilities, you can see that every stroke is delicately considered with context and various moods, and placed in each person and every scene. Strive to accurately understand and feel the souls of these elites, the conflicts, confrontations and choices in the face of the conflict between love and self-growth, and then carefully add a stroke, a few words, a journey, a meeting, or a secret to this story. In fact, the further you leave school, the more difficult it becomes to explore various possibilities. How to write? When people in real life can no longer care about everyone around them like the students back then, they must make choices. There is no longer enough time to consider the order of each sentence, but more silence or directness. Maybe people back then still had full weight in each other's hearts, but more and more they drifted apart in affairs. So much so that a phone call with no other purpose of greeting gradually loses the reason for the phone call, so that even blessings can no longer be said out loud, but can only be kept in the heart. If you are loyal to true writing, when the work has reached the family chapter, it has become so difficult to continue to write every word as carefully as before. Lin Da, who has high standards for himself, is unwilling to lower his standards, so he has no choice but to stop updating and remain silent. And has the clue to the state of mind of those people back then (the male protagonists) gradually become blurred after so many years of evolution? For example, the original Tada Nobu/Toshi prototype in Lin Lin's heart was once undoubtedly a genius forever. In real life, has he finally reached a level where he cannot always stand out no matter how hard he works, and instead shows more or less confusion or fatigue? Even if you behave accordingly, some changes will slowly occur? Does this change also dilute the heart of Lin Lin as he continues to create such a character? For example, "The biography I wrote for him seems to have lost its taste. It seems to have irony or regret, so I might as well not write it." But the forest, why not let the genius Tada live in such a work? Let him be an immortal genius in his works. According to the original idea, put aside the erosion of the writing heart by the dust, and let them have their possible lives in the story world you built while you still remember their "original appearance"? Let us take a look at their original choices and entanglements, and the support and care they originally planned to give each other? Or, let them really grow up in the story. Just really face this new life. Just like Nakano, being a distant friend is also walking together? Still in Lin Da Da's heart, those feelings from back then are no longer there and can't be found. Even if it's not for those people, but just for myself, I can't rebuild that world and the people there anymore? Can't you feel the "care" of them who are still young in the book? When I posted these words, I thought, I really don't know if Forest will read these comments. But if readers like me will search for it every once in a while, how come the forest doesn't come? In fact, everyone who has finished reading this book (up to the current update) will love every character in it, love Chiba Tree, love Hayama Azusa, love every potential boyfriend, and love the forest. In fact, everyone has grown. It's not just the number of people and work experience that has increased. The ability to face the reality of life has also grown. Let them really have a job in addition to love, and love will be more tolerant and calm. Why don't you believe us, even if the next book will be different from the previous one, we will be happy to see this change and growth, and this change is also the best respect for the book? Do we really have to wait for the forest to retire before giving the teenagers in the book the next step in their growth? The imperfect ones are the real ones. Isn't it?

Are they really not going to be updated?

I have understood that some things in life will always come to an abrupt end at some point. I am afraid there will be no follow-up to this article.

2024.2.12 More than ten years have passed, and I don't know if this story can be finished. In any case, I would like to thank the author for writing such a story about growing up.

Looking back, Chiba is not with any boy currently. It is not only Chiba's problem, but also the shortcomings of other male characters. Nobu Tada liked Chiba, but the percentage was too low, so he, the genius, thought this was a choice. Uehara Yoichi liked him, but he was too strong-willed. Chiba made a mistake, but he had no chance to look back. Arisu Kazumi is actually between self-confidence and inferiority. He not only thinks that he can bring Chiba together in an instant, but at the same time feels that he cannot bring Chiba happiness and is stuck in his ways. Asano's problem is that he cannot break away from his own moral requirements and cannot respond to his true emotions. Shuta Takeda was too restrained and did not let Chiba feel it at all. From a certain nature, you should tell someone you love someone. Kiyokawa Cheru actually has the same problem as Arisu Kazumi to a certain extent. Tada Shun, judging from his early character, is still quite strong, without any room for concession, and he will double the repayment for hurting himself, but he is the only person so far who has clearly told Chiba that he loves her from the beginning, and even after serious injuries, he can continue to entangle again and again. In fact, this is the kind of love that is likely to succeed. Love is often bloody and bloody, because loving someone gives the other person the right to hurt you. However, if you back down, you can never call it love. After the other person hurts you countless times, you still continue to love the other person and give the other person the right to continue hurting yourself. Only then can you call it true love. Dedicate yourself wholeheartedly, no matter whether you win or lose, although it actually looks very sick. However, as time goes by, I believe Tada Jun will tone down his edges a little, so he should be the most suitable for Chiba.

It's been years since I first watched Darkness when I was in high school. I also had a crush that I liked very much, so I liked Nobu Tada very much at first, probably because of the same crush. Watching Chiba meet and then separate from outstanding boys one after another, I seemed to have been imagining at what time Tada Nobu would come back. Until that party, when Chiba formally said goodbye to Tada Nobu, the emotions were stripped away for a moment, making me empathize and experience what it means to be heartbroken. But there will be no departure without separation. In fact, it seems that Nobu Tada has let Chiba let go of the past, hoping that Chiba will have a better future. But as time has changed, and I have been working for many years from high school, I may not be so entangled in emotions now, but pay more attention to how to realize my self-worth and experience the beauty of loving myself. In fact, although I still like him very much now, it has actually become a kind of nostalgia. I miss the feeling of liking him so much at that time, the feeling of heartbeat. Not dwelling on the past and grasping the present is a better way to live in the world. So now it seems that no matter which one Chiba chooses in the end, or none, as an independent individual, he is very happy and perfect. As long as you feel happy at the moment, that's fine. In the process, meeting, getting to know, and cherishing different people is enough and should not be measured by length. To paraphrase a big sentence, "I think we are all passers-by on the ferry boat. One pole and one journey are all we can give. But on the other side of the shore, it is destined not to be the scenery of mountains and waters walking side by side." Whether this novel is finished or not, in fact it has given me the best concept, and that is enough. In fact, what I want to say is limited to the ability of paper and pen, and what I think in my heart is beyond this. PS: I wish you great happiness and good health

Going back to review this book again. I was in high school when I watched it, and I was a little touched by many of the plots but not deeply. Now that I am the mother of a child, I will have a different experience when I watch it again... Anyway, every time I watch it, I miss my school days, because just like Tada, there were people who appeared in my world with brilliance, but there were no results due to various reasons. It's been so long, I can't say I'm relieved, but there are also regrets. Impossible people are so beautiful.

It's not perfect until it's finished!!!!!!

I don't know how I can see the ending~ It might as well be regarded as an ending!

I have followed the story for more than ten years, and I feel like I have grown up with Chiba!
