   The main character is the receiver. This is my favorite story in 2024. I guess it should be considered a campus romance. They are childhood sweethearts, and their unrequited love comes true. It's really relatable. Both of them are great. There are no typical broken mirror reunited tropes. They never even separated. But there are some details that make me want to cry. Thankfully, it has a happy ending.

   The main character is the receiver, it's so sweet! I love online games, I want to go back to playing JX3 (Swordsman Online 3)! The author's ensemble cast and character designs are very well-developed, it's really good! There are very few online game novels like this anymore, it's a rare find. If you like reading The King's Avatar, you might like this one too!

   The main character is the receiver (shou), and the author's writing style is very close to life. I feel that the human heart is truly the most terrifying thing. It also incorporates ABO elements, making the whole book very depressing and realistic. However, I didn't like the ending.

   The main character is the receiver, and it's suitable for hospitalization (not really). It's a very interesting rule-based supernatural tale with an infinite flow plot, but the romance is so-so.

   Curator note

   This is a story about a reborn protagonist in a school setting. The protagonist is a rational and academically gifted student, while the other is a cheerful and optimistic person with a bit of a crybaby side. This book was genuinely difficult to read, but it's incredibly good and leaves a lasting impression. It's a bit angsty, but it makes you think a lot. Perhaps you'll miss out on some things in your growth process, and you might think that things you did were naive, but were they truly meaningless? Everyone's growth is a process of loss and gain. I hope that everyone makes decisions that they won't regret. Even if the outcome isn't what you hoped for, it's still good to have learned something along the way!
