As Before (Online Voice Acting)

[On Hiatus, Enter at Your Own Risk] This isn't abandoned, updates just depend on fate. I suddenly ran out of inspiration, and I don't want to throw together something careless just to fob you off and betray myself. Give me some time, and I'll return with a better version of As Before.

I know my talent and learning are limited, and life can be harsh. If you don't like it, please don't flame me.

This story is partly about online voice acting, and includes Baidu entries for specialized terms. Even if you're unfamiliar with online voice acting or the otaku scene, you'll still be able to follow it.

Latest blurb (borrowing one of my VK's cheesy pickup lines):

Recently, fans discovered that a voice-acting star who only ever reposts official radio drama announcements, never replies to comments, and never leaves any, had actually gone to stalk the Weibo of a historical romance author?!

A few days later, the fans were furious! Liking the post was one thing, but he also reposted it and confessed his feelings?

Why would their star repost a historical romance author's Weibo post and comment:

“I'll be honest: I like you.”

Blurb One (Short and Sweet):

This is a story about mutual secret love and a reunion after years apart.

This is a story about an online voice-acting heartthrob and a historical romance goddess.

This is a warm, sweet, slow-burn love story with no angst.

Blurb Two (Step by Step):

When they first met as teenagers, he was eighteen and she was fifteen.

He was quiet and taciturn, always under a dark cloud. She was timid and reserved, and not good with words.

When they meet again, he keeps his feelings to himself, turns into a warm and caring man, and little by little draws her into his orbit. She's still cautious, but has a little more courage than when she was young, and finds herself gradually drawn to him.

After they fall in love...

With her, he can't possibly be any more doting, but somehow he manages to dote on her even more.

With him, she can't possibly be any bolder, but somehow she gets bolder still.

Blurb Three (Literary):

How long can affection last? There's no set answer. When the passing years don't make affection fade, but instead make it grow ever more profound, affection becomes love.

The luckiest thing in the world is to be secretly in love with someone who is secretly in love with you, too.

No real-life inspiration. Please add it to your favorites and leave a comment.

At first, updates will be every other day. If fate brings us together, you can add this story to your favorites. I promise I won't abandon it. I hope you'll stay to see the end, even though their happiness will continue beyond it.

Thanks to the wonderful artist who kindly made the cover!
