   (Honkai Impact 3rd fanfiction) A super satisfying otome game about a popular female character. The synopsis didn't quite capture the brilliance of the story. It changed my impression of otome games; it's a rare otome game that didn't lose its central focus. However, the sections on character development and emotional analysis went on a bit too much and in too much detail. I prefer more concrete interactions and conversations; the plot progression in the later stages felt rather stream-of-consciousness. Also, I'm not sure when it started, but the different characters' speaking styles became quite uniform—they all made a lot of complicated statements. I'm not sure if this deviates from their character designs, but it was a bit tiring to watch. Especially Onphalos; he had many chapters, but very little actual interaction, leaving me with little impression. According to the usual formula, many plot points in the story would lead to a child-raising narrative, but in reality, none of them are described in detail, which is quite rare. I really don't get the appeal of child-raising stories, especially since many people like to depict innocent and naive young children. I loved the origami bird part the most; the interaction was adorable, but unfortunately, it wasn't featured much. Also, the gold dust appeared earliest, but why did it have so little screen time? PS: To be precise, there wasn't much actual interaction between "me" and any of the characters; you could say that just when I got interested, the scene changed.

   Curator note

   A non-human player's take on the game "Love and Aha". Although titled "Love and Aha", it doesn't focus on romance (you could say it doesn't even reach the level of romance), and Aha's part isn't that much (he's practically invisible in half the chapters). The player is a beloved, beagle-type character, and has great chemistry with the healer (gets whatever he wants), and also with Jingyuan (no ambiguity, but the big cat is very good at it). As for Aha… I didn't get it. PS: There was a hiatus in April, and the parts that continued afterward weren't as good as the earlier ones.

   I enjoyed the romantic battles between Zhongli and Suhe after Zhongli realized she had fallen for him (ps: Suhe was the one on the offensive), they were very exciting. Suhe's character was very well-developed, and Zhongli's characterization wasn't out of character either; their interactions were very interesting. I'm deducting one star because the writing style wasn't to my liking, and I couldn't get into anything except the parts involving Zhongli [cheek resting on hand].

    Curator note

    A story of becoming stronger and changing misfortune, and also a story of being loved. The number of favorites is too low, and the synopsis doesn't highlight its strengths. There's basically no out-of-character (OOC) characters (Ruo Tuo might be considered), but it does focus more on original characters (Tree King Pal, Flower Goddess, and Red King are half-characters), however, these original characters aren't as compelling as those from Genshin Impact. I quite like the charming Hai Shi Mu; his personality is cold, resolute, self-assured, sincere, and unmoved by emotions. I was really looking forward to his interactions with his counterpart, Elheisen, but unfortunately, they weren't emphasized. The Water Dragon and Morax, which I was also looking forward to, seem to be mostly focused on... Only the three kings of Sumeru, and secondly, the initial Tinari section... I really enjoy the story's fusion of plot and romance, and the writing is good; it's a rare addictive read. It would be even better if the emotional descriptions were more nuanced and richer. There are occasional issues with varying levels of detail, especially around chapter 60. There are many intimate scenes, but unfortunately, they aren't elaborated on; it's frustrating that they didn't meet in the first place. (PS: I'm not entirely satisfied with the perspective; thinking about it, I feel Hai Shi Mu is at a disadvantage.)

    The main couple is Zhongli, but currently there's a one-sided crush from Wendy and Flora. The protagonist travels through time, initially possessing the personality of the Fourth Calamity, and grows stronger with each time she travels through time (though the lack of a clear personality transition feels a bit abrupt). The writing is excellent, prioritizing romance over plot, with cool ability descriptions and incredibly sweet interactions with Zhongli and Wendy. (Currently on hiatus)

    Curator note

    I particularly like: the pre-V chapters of Immortal Boat and the Demon God's battle with Morax and its side stories, Yaksha (Kanria) - ending with 108 Teyvat, and the later Star God chapters (I highly recommend 100 and 101 Navelette). Overall, the writing is rather straightforward, with many redundant, obscure, and disjointed descriptions, making it tiring to read—perhaps this is the stream-of-consciousness style? The protagonist is portrayed as a powerful yet cold-hearted heartthrob, but some descriptions of him suffering from entirely self-inflicted hardship (such as the section on the Three Kings of Sumeru) feel absurd. Furthermore, the "everything for the thesis" premise lacks context and isn't very convincing; the thesis's actual impact is not described, leaving the narrative somewhat hollow. PS: I personally dislike the pursuit of marital status in the story.

    The fourth player, a heartthrob. I really enjoyed the pre-V story of Sumeru, especially the descriptions of Elhesen; the writing was beautiful. I also really liked the Wisdom arc; the inorganic love was restrained yet deeply affectionate. Then, the scene in the Abundance arc where the apothecary sacrificed his own flesh to feed the eagle was very moving, and the interlude featuring Leo, Ayato, and Navi was also very well-written. Unfortunately, the depiction of love in other chapters is no longer as refined, and the protagonist becomes quite dark, cruel, and chaotic in many chapters, especially in Gül and the Mondstadt arc, such as Gale.

    Curator note

    It's quite interesting, with a good plot and well-developed main characters. However, its shortcomings are also obvious. First, it fails to capture the charm of the Teyvat characters, each exhibiting their own out-of-character moments, and the romance feels a bit cheesy. Second, it's blatantly sexist, with characters like Tenri, the Flower Goddess, who is portrayed as the epitome of beauty and fragility. There are also many other depictions of women being inferior to men, which, although not applied to the main characters, is still unbearable. Third, many scenes (especially the main characters' transformations) could have been more impactful, but unfortunately, they weren't. Key point: You only need to watch up to chapter 155. The original storyline of the self-created demon god is not bad, but in chapter 156, Teyvat is reborn and encounters the Traveler Luminous, following the Genshin Impact main storyline and focusing on the romance. Then the flaws are magnified. Everyone is out of character, and no character (including the protagonist) is watchable.

    The pacing of the story from the time King Kanria became a heartthrob to the restoration of his kingdom was quite good, and the revenge section involving seven reincarnations was also excellent. Other parts were a bit drawn out, but the romance chapters featuring the Emperor were particularly captivating. The main storyline seems to have ended abruptly. The epilogue highlights the strong romance; Lin Xun vividly portrays a heartbreaker [thumbs up]. PS: However, there were quite a few scenes involving the old women (mainly in terms of physical descriptions). Although Lin Xun's frank and carefree personality and the gentle and respectful nature of the male characters prevented these scenes from feeling overly vulgar, they still felt genuinely charming.
