Romanticized Power Dynamics
I only read BG and share some shamelessly sappy romances. Lots of older-man/younger-woman and brother-sister pairings. I just love watching two people fall in love and dance around each other. It makes my heart feel so good.

Pretty Good Romance Novels Without the Sleaze
Some romance novels I've read. Natural prose and coherent logic. Some have tropes I like, such as women disguised as men and men with unrequited crushes. Most feature older love interests.
Novels Worth Rereading
As the title says, novels in all kinds of styles, but they're all easy to binge! The System won't let me give four stars, and it's frustrating.

The first long review, dedicated to my favorite Toro Yamato "Moonlight A Thousand Miles Away" I remember when I opened this book, my eyes lit up after reading the first chapter. Huzi's writing style is really unique. It is a pleasure to read her words~ The brushwork is simple and delicate, and there is a kind of light beauty. The words flow out naturally under her pen, and they are natural. The plot of the novel is also unconventional. The male protagonist Li Qiuyu is always shrouded in a layer of fog. His confusing past and true face made me very curious, and the plot always has a hook. But what touched me the most were some of the conversations and thoughts in the article. Discussion of social reality, understanding of good and evil, belief in "love"... "The world is big, love is very important", this is the novel's purpose. After reading the entire novel, I really feel that it is just talking about "love". This love is not limited to the love between men and women, but the most instinctive kindness and love of human beings. "If there is any universal value that exists forever, it is this." Love is so powerful, it can soothe pain, split the void, and bring hope. At the beginning of the novel, ten chapters are spent describing the life of the heroine Li Mingyue in the countryside, but it does not make people feel boring. The author observes the world through the eyes of the bright moon, so the writing is a bit childlike and full of aura. "He speaks politely, like a stream under an old spring, flowing forward neither in a hurry nor slowly." This was the first meeting of the male and female protagonists. Mingyue had never seen an adult like Li Qiuyu before, and his words were like a spring breeze blowing on her face, which also made her feel a rare respect. This encounter left a small expectation in Mingyue's heart, "I have been waiting for you to come all spring." Mingyue is thinking a lot, and some problems are lingering in her mind, but no one can communicate with her. Grandma could only care about Mingyue eating and drinking, but not what she was thinking. The left-behind old man, with two children, has suffered enough physically and has no time or energy to think about spiritual things. Therefore, Mingyue often feels lonely. She is growing physically and mentally. She really wants to meet a friend to whom she can confide her inner thoughts. "You can bare your soul to him and tell him your lovely shortcomings and beautiful advantages without worrying about being betrayed." Li Qiuyu looks like an ordinary person on the outside, gentle and polite, but his heart has long been empty, and he is like a floating soul. When he was young, he planned an incident and wanted to fight evil with evil and do justice for heaven, but subconsciously he believed that his free will could override everything. But innocent people were involved, someone was raped, and everything changed completely. He was mentally tortured. What is good? What is evil? Li Qiuyu has a strong insight into all things, and he also sees his own darkness, and he cannot respect himself. The torture of self-judgment follows him everywhere. Once while sweeping a tomb, I got lost and bumped into the bright moon, and fate unfolded. How could he not be moved when he was so chaotic and torn when he saw such a pair of clear eyes and a soul that was true and kind? When they met again and saw Mingyue whose life had undergone a sudden change, Li Qiuyu subconsciously helped her, and things happened naturally. He gave Ming Yue a lot of help, responded to her many ideas in detail, and had a heart-to-heart relationship with Ming Yue. They can talk about anything, often saying "Let's talk" and thinking about humanities and social sciences from the bottom of their hearts. To Mingyue, he is her best friend. For Li Qiuyu, the bright moon is the most true and good, and her existence itself is a kind of hope. "The moon, the moon, the quiet empty valley. Girls and girls, leading the horses slowly." He wrote the poem of the poet Chang Yao on the paper, thinking of the bright moon. The moonlight is bright and clear, always shining on the earth, preventing pedestrians from losing their way. She is very similar to the bright moon. She is pure, kind and transparent, and she also provides guidance to others. With Mingyue by his side, he will not find his way back. During his exchange with Mingyue, his turbulent ideological conflicts were calmed down. The beginning of the "love" between them seems impossible to explore. Love already existed before love came into being. This kind of love was particularly obvious when Mingyue felt Li Qiuyu's mental pain and strong desire. The bright moon kisses its injured companion like a small animal. It is very sincere, very pure, without a trace of emotion, just an instinctive love. I admire the author for being able to write the male protagonist's mental pain in such detail, as if he were holding a scalpel, dissecting and cutting through the layers of texture, only to discover the whiteness hidden underneath. Reading Li confessing the deepest part of his heart to Mingyue was so torn, so straightforward and even cruel. It made me feel dizzy and dizzy, and I felt like I was drifting, and my heart was almost trembling. The design of the second male lead Zhao Sitong is also very clever. In the previous article, Ming Yue was influenced by him and confused Li Qiuyu with Stavrogin in "Ghost". I also suspected that Li was a villain male protagonist. If Li is a chaotic body of good and evil, and Mingyue is pure good, then Zhao is completely evil. He flouts all rules, takes pleasure in manipulating people's hearts, and pursues spiritual freedom above all else. Zhao has a very similar appearance and conversation to Li, and he has a fanatical admiration for him and regards him as his mentor and spiritual leader. And Li was influenced by Mingyue, and his dead idealism was resurrected, which undoubtedly made him feel betrayed. At the end of the novel, Zhao dragged too many people into the water just to defeat or even surpass Li. But such pure kindness and love are scattered in every corner of the text, and the warm tone of the novel comes from this. Li Qiuyu casually bought a handful of vegetables from Zhu Xingmin and gave him five yuan. Aunt Feng and Uncle Badou's kindness towards Mingyue's family. Li Qiuyu showed respect to the girl at the hair salon, and then she firmly refused to help Zhao give false evidence. Including Ji Yanping, who will appear later, also came to support his senior brother who had helped him so much without hesitation. Mingyue said to Ji, "Do you think of him the same way? You love your senior brother" and "I'm just talking about love." It was impressive. Mingyue's faith is simple and firm, which is the most instinctive love for the land and people. "She loves the people in front of her and the plains beneath her feet." The image of Mingyue running freely in the snow often appears in my mind. "The world is spinning rapidly in her open arms, as if she is the only one left in the world. She is the most boundless, like a wild horse and like dust." She is the daughter of the earth, nourished by the earth and taught by the words and deeds of her grandparents. Grandpa Li Wannian named her Mingyue, hoping that she would be bright, shine on people and bring convenience to others. Although grandma Yang Jinfeng has not learned much knowledge, she has a certain character. Therefore, the bright moon will grow into such a bright moon, which is also the "natural bright moon" in Li Qiuyu's eyes. The "bright moon" itself is the image of love. Does "the bright moon for thousands of miles" mean that love is endless and flowing on this land? "Lonely people should love each other." Once two lonely, pure souls meet, they will always have something to say, always resonate, and will always understand each other. It is only natural to know and love each other. Li Qiuyu slowly perceived the beauty of life through Mingyue's eyes, and found the anchor point of life, no longer wandering in vain. Because of the existence of Li Qiuyu, the secret tenderness that Mingyue has always longed for can be realized, and she gradually "sees the city, the glitz, the human heart, and even herself." They were everything to each other and gave each other everything they had. Finally, I would like to talk about the two characters Li Qiuyu and Mingyue themselves. Li Qiuyu feels a lot like "Leoli" to me. He looks gentle and perfect. If you dig deeper, you will find that he also has a dark side. If he dug deeper, he remembered what Mingyue said, just like digging a well in a rural area, and found that the water buried deep in his person should also be very pure. Thinking about it carefully, his subconscious actions gave real help to Mingyue, Zhu Xingmin, the girl at the hair salon, Ji Yanping, including the old man who wanted to file a lawsuit for his son who died unjustly. He said that he did these things almost randomly and subconsciously. Does that mean that he is actually kind at heart? Mingyue has always believed that they are the same kind. Mingyue is my favorite heroine. She is so good and she is almost perfect in my heart. But Huzi's portrayal of her is not suspended at all, and it doesn't make me feel like she is just a "dummy" made up of various characters. Faced with external shocks or unbearable difficulties, she will also be confused, suffer, and have the mentality of a child. But she is always so determined. She remembers where she came from and is destined to have a way back. Her existence allowed me to see a soul with a clear mind and firm faith taking root and sprouting in the northern land, and gradually blossoming and bearing fruit. She was born on the earth, grew up on the earth, and is as stable as the earth and can hold up everything. As Huzi mentioned in the WB summary, Mingyue's mental power is extremely powerful. Her vigorous vitality made me have a bright and upward impression of her after reading the novel, but she has actually experienced many ups and downs and injustices. How valuable it is to be able to maintain an optimistic attitude despite all the hardships. As she said, "If you only think about this, you will be able to cross a certain river and go to the other side. There is a vast and magnificent world there. It is a wonderful world that I have never seen before."
It's very interesting. It's really interesting. It would be nice to write more extras. The author's writing is very good. I don't really read campus novels, but I continued reading this one because campus novels are generally quite childish. The author's writing is so good that I actually finished reading it. Please write more extras.
"Mingyue" is the image of "love". Does "the moonlight for thousands of miles" mean that love is endless and flowing on this land?
It's a book I really like. When I first read it, I felt that the age difference was really big, and there were many descriptions of the male protagonist and his ex-girlfriend. But later on, I found that the change of relationship was very natural. It made people feel that Mingyue was indeed Lao Li's destiny. It reached its peak when Lao Li chose to commit suicide. Many people criticized it and said that the female characters in it except the protagonist are basically bad. In fact, I agree with it. Many people, including the author, said that they are in a mixed state of good and evil, but were induced to have an evil side by Zhao Laoer. Of course, my own observation is that most of the people I meet outside villages and towns are bad, but the truly simple and kind-hearted good people are still in Zixu Village. This is why Mingyue, as a woman, loves the land and the village so much [Star Eyes]
The characters are three-dimensional, the writing is excellent, and the ideas are far-reaching. I am very lucky to see such a touching story. Thank you Mingyue and Qiuyu, thank you Huda, and thank you to every reader and friend of the paragraph review. I am very grateful and happy to meet all of you during this time.
I like it so much that I can't help but read it [shy]
The physical book will be released soon! ! ! Why hasn't it been released yet?
The first 20 chapters are well written and are considered a breath of fresh air in Jinjiang. But towards the end, everything started to fall apart. I originally wanted to order everything before reviewing, but I just couldn't. This book attempts to describe a special love, recreating the love that breaks through the shackles of the world like "Anna Karenina". But Anna's sinking and struggle are the ultimate collision of personal lust, social ethics and self-conscience. The desires, sinking and destruction of Tolstoy's characters are all rooted in social reality, and have truly shocking ideological weight. But this book only has the shell of suffering of serious literature. The writing power, pattern and depth of thought are completely unable to support the proposition of serious literature. Exquisite writing is not the same as literary quality. Gorgeous and depressing words can pile up the misery of life and exaggerate the tragic atmosphere, but true literature comes from a sober examination and in-depth reflection on the nature of human nature, power, ethics, and relationships, relying on complete behavioral logic and narrative foreshadowing, rather than deviating from the original intention of the characters, rigidly implanting the author's private views, and forcibly elevating the story's conception. The characters' thoughts, awakenings and struggles are never created by long and complicated psychological descriptions. The real thinking of characters is hidden in choices, behaviors, trade-offs and contradictions, rather than the theoretical rhetoric that the author imposes on the characters. Secondly, the author instills in the heroine the thoughts and perceptions of id, ego, and superego, and creates a transparent and sober character. However, in order to advance the emotional line of the hero and heroine, he forces her into a meaningless female rivalry, and the character's behavior is completely disconnected from her thoughts. The author wants to discuss too many things. Sometimes he wants to discuss class, sometimes he wants to discuss the good and evil of people's hearts, and sometimes he wants to discuss opposition. All thoughts are mixed in. It makes people's brain explode. In addition, the author uses suffering, depression, and brokenness to package this relationship and beautify the moral flaws within the relationship: on the premise that the male protagonist has a real girlfriend, he continues to pour out negative emotions and behave out of bounds towards the underage female protagonist, which is completely a beautified version of "Lolita". This book imitates the pain of serious literature, but at its heart is the narrative logic of romance. The characters have no real ideological growth, the story has no profound exploration of human nature, and there is no social criticism based on reality. There is only blunt and forced sublimation, and an uncomfortable ethical outlook.
"If you only think about this, you will definitely be able to cross a certain river and go to the other side. There is a vast and magnificent world there. It is a wonderful world that I have never seen before." Waiting for the physical book, waiting for their stories
The Kankan cuts are radiating and placed on the side of the river. The river water is clear and straight. If there is no harvest and no harvest, 30 billion will be taken away? If you don't hunt, how can Hu Zhanerting have the characteristics of a county? That gentleman is not a vegetarian! The Book of Songs written three thousand years ago raises this question: why the upper class can live a different life without working, farming, or hunting. The heroine's thoughts echo this poem in the Book of Songs.
