Yuri
Only recommending stories with switches. Updates are slow, but the quality is reliable. (I often stop reading after a few chapters if I'm not interested, and I won't specifically note that.)

Science fiction, literature and art, ultimate romance. Talk about love, talk about death, talk about meaning, talk about a future without a future. After reading it, I wanted to write something, but I felt like I had nothing to say. While reading, I thought that everyone would be happy in the end, perhaps because I had read too many forced happy endings. I guess the two will wake up thirty years later, escape, settle down, then dream and continue to love each other. However, after seeing twenty-five years and seeing Du leave early (due to possible garbled characters, please forgive me for not being able to type her name in full), at that moment I hated my keen senses - I knew, I knew this was just the beginning. Things tend to go the way I least expect, even if I can't see the full picture at the time. Although the author said that he did not want this story to be sad to read, I almost read it with tears in my eyes during the last few chapters of the text. It's not that the lovers are separated from each other, but it's hit by something behind the plot: I can look into my lover's eyes again, but the time limit is only one day, the only day of the rest of my life is also the last day; I used ordinary people's bodies, ordinary people's minds, and ordinary people's efforts to get that tape, I was injured for it, I risked my life for it - but this is just an irrelevant surveillance video. At that moment I started crying, along with Xun An in the story. The extra chapter is quite good, as good as a dream, a dream that will never happen in reality. Although it is sweet, it is just a sugar substitute, and it even feels bitter after one bite. I don't think this is a good ending. Their safety is not guaranteed, Du is still in pain, and Xun An may be the only one who is happy. Although he may be able to survive the cold winter and survive until the "spring" described in the text, in any case, this is not Du Hui's ending. I agree with the author's concept: you must first become yourself, and then become a lover. Du was the one drowning in the dream from beginning to end. For her to live soberly in reality was tantamount to human torture. And the cruelest thing is that after falling in love with Xun An, she can no longer dream by herself - the most wonderful dream needs two people in love to realize it together. But Xun An didn't want to go back to his dream. Du's ending has long been doomed, it will only be like this, it can only be like this. Extra two, quite romantic, to be honest. But still very sad. It does feel like it corresponds to the ending of the main text, an exchange of situations between the two. I always felt that the pink whale Xun An saw last was Du's soul. I really like the large number of metaphors in the article, which are as beautiful as poetry and worth chewing on the tip of the tongue. Although "literary art" has become a derogatory term in the contemporary Chinese context, if I were asked to evaluate, these two words would be the first thing that comes to my mind. Modern society makes us ashamed to say these two words, and also ashamed to label works that we like and conform to. However, literature and art literally means words and art: there is no definite ending, no fixed answer; using words to experience the world instead of defining it; allowing fundamental contradictions to exist, just like the two protagonists, Xun An lives in reality and Du hides in dreams. The choice between dreams and reality explored in the book is also interesting. Judging from the author's (or reading) bias, it should be realistic: face your life bravely. But I can understand those who want to drown in illusory dreams: in the thirst caused by long-term pain, even poison becomes sweet rain. After all, no one can prove whether the current real world is just a dream?
The greatest science fiction masterpiece of this century, 10,000 times better than The Three-Body Problem
I cried until I saw the finale last night until my nose was suffocated and I burst into tears. Actually, it wasn't that the finale was unsatisfactory. It was just that I really didn't accept the fact that Xiao Du was really dead at that time. I always felt that she would appear. I kept waiting for her to return, so she gave me a break.
It's been a long time since I read the whole story without stopping. I'm like a bystander in a dream, following the transitions of the dream all the time. The comments I want to leave now are as scattered as the words in my sleep, broken and illogical. The last extra chapter without a dream makes people unable to help but believe in the existence of soul resonance. It seems that whether it is a dream or a manifestation, the collision of two people can produce new souls and new changes. (The pink whale Xun An saw at the end looked like Du Pinmu's
The ending of the text is very complete. In fact, when I think about it, the reason why I can't accept Du's true death is because I think Du can escape from the control of the administration. Probably my mental arrangement is that after throwing Ann to the garbage disposal station, Du can save himself under the administration. However, the ending given by the author is also very good. Du's departure is also a happy one on her own, but she still feels sad 😭 I really like the storyline of An's mistaken surveillance. It's a bit humorous and light. Ww
It took me three hours to read to the end, as if I had had a wordless dream in which time had blurred. I felt an unexplainable mood, and my eyes were as dry as if they were about to shed tears, but they were not sad. Thanks to the author for opening up the possibility of getting a glimpse of virtual reality through this article and feeling emotional about it...??
Before reading this chapter, I still had some illusions that Du was still alive...[Hold up chin]
I am a secular person, and my favorite part is Episode 1. So what if the future is full of obstacles? There are so many obstacles, but only when you are alive can you have them. With your lover by your side, you can also pursue your dreams! ❤️
It took me a few days to read it. My fate with this book came from a tweet I saw on xhs. The writing attracted me very much. I am very persistent in dreams. I have been dreaming since I can remember. The only time I didn't dream was in junior high school. My mind was dark and the only light was a white circle of light. This was the only image that lasted until I woke up. I really like the metaphorical sentences in the book, and I like metaphors among the many rhetorical techniques. I also love the characters of the two protagonists, and their family and social life and growth background are all factors that shape their characters, thoughts and behaviors. The background of the story reminds me of reality. Everyone is burdened with the task of giving birth... Secondly, I also really want to study my own dreams. Although there is no shortage of people with good imaginations in this world, the worlds in Xun'an's dream are so rich that I want to be an NPC in them, because they are also NPCs in reality, so there is no fear at all. As for the relationship line, both of them have unique views on "love", but they meet together by chance. They can be regarded as soul mates in a sense, haha. And the way they talk, whether it's joking or just plain discussion, I find it interesting and I love this atmosphere. I really want more people who like this genre to see it, instead of just a few hundred collections (no refutation accepted). The final ending was an expected surprise. Thinking that after the thirty-year dream ended, their situation would be very bad. I didn't expect that Du Pinnan would be in a bad situation.

I prefer the first ending. Du, a coward, gets eternal love, and Xun soberly writes the story of his life, which is full of regrets but romantic and grand. Although the ending of the first episode is hex, it is visible to the naked eye the obstacles they will encounter in the future, and even things may change between them over time. Personally speaking, just the two of them escaping together is full of dreamy colors, and I am even more pessimistic about the two of them escaping the hunt. If they die in the darkness before dawn, it will be even harder to accept. The gravity of reality makes everything not so light. The third ending is like a dream in parallel time and space. Du will never be able to touch her ideal, which is so sad.
