   The author is experiencing writer's block, and the world-building and plot development are definitely not as polished as other books on the list. It's been caught up with. It's a story about a Jian Chun (a type of martial arts practitioner) who wants to fall in love (there's a slight reference to the "Measuring Sword 3" trope). It's a sweet romance, suitable for relaxation, but don't take it too seriously. I personally quite liked it.

   Before the truth was revealed, I never imagined that the mastermind was him QAQ I love it so much, I really love it! Everyone in the show has such a unique personality! Martial arts stories should be accompanied by ensemble casts! (Also, a shout-out to Ming: I really like this kind of intelligent woman; she seems wicked but actually has a warm heart →←)

There's nowhere to drink in peace, yet bones can be buried everywhere. Winning fame under heaven is nothing but striving to outdo others; grudges and passions all come down to overflowing self-interest. I've seen all its sights, and the mountains and rivers are much the same. I've thought about leaving this mundane world behind and putting an end to everything.” “Because you hadn't met me yet.” Pairing: An attacker who only wan 80.8kFavorites50.2kClicks/ch23.4kGifts

   It flows smoothly and seamlessly; the plot and writing are both excellent. The character design might be a bit lacking. Some characters have interesting backstories, but their appearances are like a singer going on stage but not choosing the right song—they sing okay, but they don't perform at their best… It's frustrating. I want to hear something better.

   The characters in the martial arts world are all endearing, and the ensemble cast is very well written. The character development is stronger than the narrative, but the later plot conclusion feels somewhat rushed. Perhaps it's because I haven't read other works that I feel the plot is incomplete.

   The plot twists were unexpected. However, in terms of pacing, were there too many twists? Was the protagonist's attitude too forceful, leading to dragging and repetition? But that doesn't seem to be the problem... In short, it became a bit tiring to read later on, but this seems to be the style and approach this story should have.

   These are books that hold a special place in my heart, but when I reread them after gaining more experience, they differed from my memory. I didn't buy them because I borrowed physical copies from the library. These are books I've collected as a record of my memories.
