My writing style started to go wrong after I came to Beijing. It almost looked like it was written by two people. It no longer had the antique feeling of a long and steady stream. It was like a documentary, with one sentence and one sentence being told in a straightforward manner. There was no superfluous description at all. It probably started after the heroine's parents got separated. Before that, the writing was very good and very Huai Su style. The breakup with the male lead was particularly penetrating. There was no tension at all when they got to know and fall in love with the male protagonist later on. The male protagonist's character is simply vague. Sometimes he is gentle, sometimes he is young, and sometimes he is domineering. The character is not established at all. It is very templated and mixes some of the characteristics that a "male protagonist" should have. The scenes between the male and female protagonists in the next 60 chapters are not as intense as the first encounter between the male and female protagonists. The ship pirate x noble lady, you hold my ankle and I am numb! ! Shocked To sum up, I highly doubt that the second volume was written by a ghost. The 60-chapter "Snake's Tail" is also unheard of and unseen.
This is the most difficult book for me to read after reading many of the author's books. It was not because of the plot that I was disappointed, but because the whole book was so slow that I was not in the mood to follow the author's other works. After the climax, the plot is seriously perfunctory, and there is not even an extra chapter. It feels like it is extremely irresponsible to the readers.
If you only want to watch love, you will be disappointed and feel that it is unfinished. Because Shen's mood is difficult to calm down. But just looking at the woman, this tail is so wonderful, raised high~Chaochao, true mother, queen mother, everyone got what they wanted, so awesome!
In fact, Xiao Shen's portrayal is better. I hope we can see Xiao Shen and the heroine in the next book.
It ended inexplicably
I've finished watching it. The first half is very good to watch. The male protagonist's part becomes a bit stiff and the level suddenly drops a lot. But it's still watchable. Overall it's pretty good to watch.
Is this the end? It's getting better and then it stops abruptly. The meaning is still unfinished.
Does eating sweet-scented osmanthus mean letting go? Letting go of everything with Shen Yu
It's very interesting to watch and doesn't drag out the plot.
It feels so smooth... Everything goes together perfectly, and the three of them are together in the introduction. It's still 1v1 in the article [covering face and laughing]
