This is simply the most perfect second-person strategy novel I have ever seen! Hopelessly in love with the heroine. The heroine Chen Fangyuan, just like her name, square means integrity and rules, and round means harmony and flexibility. She is both principled and flexible. In the book, she is also able to navigate interpersonal relationships and always stick to her own position. She is cute and gentle, firm and lawful. She is really a very, very charming person. But Fangyuan will not make people feel that she is out of reach like a flower on the high mountain. She is more like a person who lives a transparent life in reality, can accept her own imperfections, and has her own persistence and requirements. At the same time, she also cherishes herself and others, respects and understands everyone's thoughts and choices (although it sounds very official and systematic, the author's Fangyuan can only be better!). In the handling of many events, people feel that Fangyuan is a transparent and smart person with a strong core and extremely convincing. In some small details, he always reveals his cuteness and liveliness. Fangyuan is so real and is made of flesh and blood. It makes people feel very involved and hope to become such a person. Regarding the setting of the game's appearance, Fangyuan will not blindly pursue beauty defined by the world. She is very satisfied with herself and is willing to do her best within her own comfort range. In the short-lived "feudal dynasty privileged class" in the dream, she will also be touched by others, let alone the enjoyment of class; when a friend is involved in gossip, she will seriously think about solutions and quickly take action. No one dislikes her; in the study group where she helps her classmates, she takes the game seriously, and the source of happiness is helping others and seeing the other person gain something from it; in the color of the dream soul, she will accompany the children warmly, tease them naughtily and cutely, empathize with the other person, and speak her thoughts seriously, hoping to change without affecting them. The life trajectory of the other person; she will be frustrated and sad because of the malfunction of the radar, but she will never let herself get stuck in it and be unable to extricate herself; she will not always accommodate the other person without any bottom line and unconditional. When faced with the tantrums of her best friend, she will take the initiative to remedy it, and she will "do things within three seconds"; she will help Xiao Nie out of the responsibility and tenderness in her heart, and also because of the internal friction of this relationship, Simply pull it out without being muddled; she will be firm in her heart while also taking into account the other person's feelings in other people's confessions... There are too many details to state one by one. Fangyuan is no longer an ordinary protagonist in novels in my heart, but a support for my ideal emotional characteristics. It is not a simple admiration, but an existence that I can rely on and feel at certain moments. Each of the four playable male protagonists in the book has its own unique background and personality. They are not black and white characters in the traditional sense. They all have their own shortcomings and their own specialties: Wang Xu, a childhood sweetheart and a big golden retriever dog, is carefree but has a very pure and clean corner of his heart. His enthusiasm is like a little sun, but he expresses his feelings freely. Although he started out sincerely and ended up being very gentle, when true love comes, he misses it due to low self-esteem, which is the responsibility he has to bear. As a result, the "childhood sweetheart ends" ending is achieved (but as a childhood sweetheart, he is really dedicated, otherwise Yuanyuan would not have fallen in love with him at the beginning. With such a handsome guy hanging around in front of you every day and being kind to you, it's hard not to be moved!). Fu Ruyu was strictly disciplined by his family since he was a child. In the end, he built a cage of "Zhilan Yushu" with his own hands. He lived within the rules and regulations. Freedom was his fantasy and yearning for a life he had never experienced, but he couldn't help but sit in it. In his heart, he pursues completely pure emotions. When he discovers that his love overlaps with two people, he panics and immediately retreats to his own warning line, and finally reaches a "fetching water in a bamboo basket" ending (hahahahaha no, Xiao Fu never thought of choosing one or the other, but he didn't know that feelings are such a complicated thing, he just wanted to make the choice that he felt was the most suitable and correct at the time). Although Yuanyuan is the second person I have ever had a crush on, and it was also a stock that I bought with sincerity and sincerity, in the end I lost all my money (especially the drama performances!!). Nie Shiqiu, I have very complicated feelings about this line, because Xiao Nie is the line that consumes Yuanyuan the most, and his life experience also involves embarrassing realities. I probably only have a little pity for him, and pity that he lived the most miserable life, but his line has great significance. At first, Yuanyuan helped him to the best of her ability, tutored him in studies, and cared about life; but gradually, Xiao Nie was like a whirlpool, trying to swallow up the glimmer of light that shone on him; in the end, she tried to force Fangyuan to make a choice. He put himself in a place that seemed blameless, and invisibly became more and more like his scumbag father. , But he is a child who is willing to work hard on the tortuous road to get on the right path. Fortunately, in the end, he also understands that no one can be someone else's savior, and no one can take on another person's life. The only one who really has to let go and redeem is himself, achieving the "most ordinary friend" ending. Nie Shiqiu's mother, Xie Qiuying, is another heavy story. During the reading process, I became angry, puzzled, and complained. But in the end, I finally figured out that this is not a debate where one has to choose a stance, nor is it a question of right and wrong. It is just a story that is stated. The people in the story made their own choices, and we are just spectators. The only thing we can do is to get thinking from it, and look at complex human nature and emotions more completely, more maturely, and more comprehensively. We will hate and hate the perpetrators of domestic violence, and we will also blame a mother who was forced by fate to make a wrong decision, but more importantly, we see the victim and understand the victim's pain and last resort; we will also pity a young boy who had a miserable childhood and regret his "badness", but we also see a little wolf cub with energy in his body who wants to break through the thick cloud that hangs in his heart. What touched me most here was my evaluation of my mother. At first, I thought she was stupid, stupid, irresponsible, and hypocritical. In the end, I even tried to beg the most innocent child for forgiveness. But when I really think about it when no one is around and look back on my own past, I suddenly feel ashamed of myself for always being "sick of being stupid". This is quite self-righteous and condescending. I have made many wrong choices in life. Each choice is an inevitable decision made by me who has been shaped by my life experience. This is not to excuse myself, but to understand more clearly that many choices are "involuntarily". It is not because of interference from external reasons, but like an avalanche, sliding from the first grain of snow from the top of the mountain, and many things later become inevitable. In particular, the author has at least arranged a good family background for Xie Qiuying, so that she has the conditions to receive treatment and start a new life, while more and more victims will never be seen, understood, or valued. Xie Feisong, I actually knew he was the male protagonist when I saw the tweet, so I have been reviewing and analyzing the reasons why he was finally selected by Fangyuan in the early stage. However, as the plot develops, especially in the Queen's drama, I decisively bought Xiao Xie with all my positions! Xiao Xie's native family was hypocritical and indifferent, so he learned to disguise himself at a very young age, put on a mask to get along with others, and observed people in the world indifferently like a spectator. Until he met someone he observed but couldn't look away from, Fangyuan taught him what kind of "person" he wanted to be and reshaped his view of life. The best thing about Xiao Xie is that he is well aware of his own badness and cherishes the beauty of Fangyuan, so he has been working hard to change himself and become soft, sincere and kind, hoping that he can be worthy of Fangyuan. I have always felt that Xiao Xie is like a fox, but he is often calmer than most people. He is the most in tune with Fangyuan, and he is always thinking about Fangyuan. His venomous tongue is interesting and unexpectedly reliable. His shortcomings also make him more humane, and finally achieve a happy ending of "entering your little world". But Xiao Xie is not the most perfect, but compared to the four, after all, this guy was also very cold, mean and annoying at the beginning, especially after observing other people's lives, he even wrote a script and put it on the stage (I feel really angry for Xiao Nie). In the end, I still like our heroine the most, Miss Chen Fangyuan. I always feel that all the positive adjectives are not enough to describe her. She is gentle and intelligent with a strong core, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. Even Fangyuan's shortcomings only make people feel kind and cute. By the way, what we Fangyuan are playing is a love strategy game! Although I gained a lot of emotions and had a lot of happy experiences in the game, I always felt that an angel had come and showered the four male protagonists with holy light. I like what Fangyuan said the most. The so-called love and like are just a shallow depression. You may encounter it after taking two steps. But when you don't want to fall into it, you can just lift your feet and leave. I hope we can all be like Fangyuan, warm, bright, idealistic, but not too stubborn. The whole book is like a trickle, washing and washing in my heart invisibly, flowing for a long time, not lacking in interest but also mediocre and superficial. This book is definitely worth reading slowly and repeatedly. It contains little wisdom in life and a profound philosophy of life. Even the ending is just like Fangyuan. It is always clear and transparent, and does not extend from the game to reality. Even if it is "single to the end", it is a good ending that everyone will happily accept. The author must be a person like Chen Fangyuan, gentle and rational, who can write such empowering, sweet and warm words. I really just wanted to look up to the sky and cry after reading this book. After reading this book, I felt like I knew everyone in the book. I was reluctant to leave when I was about to leave. I remembered the words that Fangyuan met Qinghe in the dream world. We meet in mountains and rivers. We will definitely meet again in a certain dimension. I look forward to that day. This book took me on a gentle and profound journey. Everyone in the book deserves to be remembered. Thank you so much to the author!
It's rare to read a book where I have no feelings for the male protagonist but quite a lot for the heroine. Sometimes I feel that the heroine's wisdom far exceeds her age [Cat's Claw] [Cat's Claw] Falling in love with Fang Yuan is as easy as breathing
It can be seen that the author's writing style is good, and the image of the female protagonist is also very good. I also like this kind of article that relies on personality charm to conquer the male protagonist, or unconsciously attracts the male protagonist, but there are too many other people's stories mixed in orz. I don't have the patience to read and skip them all. There is a paragraph where I feel that the female protagonist is no longer the heroine, but the mother of the male partner is the person the author wants to write about.
A very, very irresponsible review!! This is my first time posting something like this, so just write whatever comes to mind. Rather than saying it is a love game, it is more appropriate to call it a growth game. However, in a story that takes place at the age of seventeen, everyone is still a child. (Although Fangyuan is already a mature and reliable adult when it comes to handling problems ww Fangyuan Fangyuan, we like you!!) This is campus love. Although it is immature, it is an inevitable part of growth. The tone at the beginning was relaxed. Compared with the four male protagonists, the charm of the female protagonist was first revealed: "Compared to a river, you are more like an iceberg. The melted snow water gathers into a river. When it flows by people, it gently takes away people's worries. But when someone really wants to get close to you, they will realize how hard you are deep in your heart." Sometimes I wonder if the common and necessary characteristic of all kinds of heartthrobs is "altruism"? For example, the "koi constitution", the "kindness" in the redemptive literature are like routines, etc. But blindly altruistically, you will eventually lose yourself and become a "pleasant personality". But if it's a square shape, there's no need to worry! Sure enough, the real heartthrob is one that even readers will be crazy about! Later, as the growth lines of each character unfolded, the tone of the article gradually became heavier. But this is growth. Sure enough, growth is the theme of this novel! From childhood, to the youthful love intertwined with growth, in the end everyone graduated! Let us say, thank you Teacher Fangyuan! In fact, I envy and admire Fangyuan's ease in handling interpersonal relationships. When I write my thoughts after reading the novel, I always fail to express my thoughts with words, and my thoughts are not fully expressed but I cannot express them in words. Thanks to the wonderful encounter in the second person, I seem to have become a reliable adult like the heroine. His thoughts were turbulent and hesitant. So be it. I also have to face my own growth.
I finished chasing it in the middle of the night. I originally wanted to wake up in the morning and comment again, but my heart was so turbulent that I couldn't sleep. And I am so unwilling!!!! Judging from the data, not many people know about such a delicate work. Maybe the author himself is relatively indifferent, but beautiful things always want everyone to see. Then there is what I think is amazing. From the title, the author tells us that this is a game. Instead of integrating elements from the real world for a perfect (?) Ending, he keeps reminding us that it is a game from the beginning to the end. And by the farewell at the end, we can feel that he really respects all the characters as real people, and the beauty of young people is really, people don't want to wake up. I really can't get enough of it. Let's go back to love. This is why I still couldn't calm down for a long time after reading it. It's all just a game. It's because it's so real. It's a reality that completely shocked me. The little secret thoughts between boys and girls are so well portrayed... In addition, whether it is the main plot or the branch plot, you can feel that both the heroine and the author respect each character. The author's portrayal of the characters is not facial makeup, single, and the people are complex. And too many novel characters are black and white, so most readers are more accustomed to the mode of throwing all the characters at the beginning. When the author said that he will be more or less affected, I just want to say that it is really great!! I'm very lucky that I saw this work when it was finished What also impressed me deeply were some of the truths that the author interspersed in his works from time to time (I don't know if this is right? For me, yes). I felt that I was still involved in emotions one second, and was comforted and enlightened the next second. It is no exaggeration to say that there are more than 40 photos in the photo album hh I wrote whatever came to my mind. I am so lucky to have read such an excellent work. I wish the author and teacher a happy Year of the Snake! See you in the next part! [Panda head]
When I first read it, I saw reviews saying that the heroine was too good. As I continued reading, I felt that the author was too good. As a single mother, I had just experienced being actively brainwashed by various crushing comments on the Internet, which led me to be too obsessed with falling in love. After reading this article, it seemed like a person who had been confused for a long time suddenly realized the correct answer. I feel that sometimes I read a sentence over and over again. Yes, falling in love is more like a process of finding oneself and redeeming oneself. You cannot blindly seek from the outside. I really benefited a lot from reading it. Don't be too involved in purposeful communication and interaction. Start by making a good friend first, and then slowly build a healthy and long-term responsible love.
I still like Wang Xu the most. I like the plot of the dog man turning back. It would be great if the sweet potato aspect could be used to torture him. It's a pity that the heroine is a good person, and she and Wang Xu just get together and get away easily, and can't vent their anger.
I like living people to fall in love!! It's really great that the guide is written with such flesh and blood. I hope everyone can live a good life?
To be honest, I really want to see the detailed version of the Crown Princess and Taiping Prince Xie... Are you considering writing... I will definitely chase after...
Falling in love with the heroine is as easy as breathing... My sister is so good!
