   Let's eat melon first before falling in love As expected of the wife who once kicked me into the pit of crazy literature! Because the previous novel left such a deep impression on me, and it was also my first time to come into contact with this kind of crazy literature. During those few days of reading it, I simply couldn't miss Shu. So after I learned that Da Da had written such a light-hearted and funny novel, I had been looking forward to it, and finally read it immediately after it was finished. The result was amazing at first sight, and I was really fascinated by it! It took me almost five hours to read the full text. I can only say that the big melons are really delicious [Eating Melons]. The plot is really attractive. One melon follows another, and there is no procrastination or Riddler plot at all. It is very enjoyable to eat melons. I even feel that I am more curious than the people in the novel about what will happen next. I wish I could know the follow-up immediately [cover my face and peek]. I read it in one go in five hours. It was really enjoyable. Regarding the emotional line, I think Gong is indeed a little immoral, but he is not simply bad. The author also reminded me in advance in the copywriting, but I personally don't think we need to get too hung up on this aspect. As the plot develops, Gong's behavior will be explained accordingly, and I personally feel that the cause of the incident is not entirely his fault. [Loading] The CP in this article belongs to the recently popular "peacock and wooden man" type, which I quite like. The sense of exclusivity between the two people is also very good, and there is no heartthrob setting, which is a special bonus [Spreading Flowers] Although the love line appears relatively late, because the plot is so exciting, I often forget that there is a love line in this book! However, although there are many melons, there are also some very heartwarming plots. The character of [Red Heart], which makes people feel soft but not accepting, is a bit idealistic in my opinion, but overall it does not affect the reading experience. Overall, this is a light-hearted and funny article that is very suitable for melon lovers. The plot is compact, and one melon after another can really shock people many times [fear]. The emotional line also has its own highlights. It took me five hours to read it in one sitting, which is enough to show how attractive this book is. You are worthy of being the one who kicked me into the pit of crazy literature! I look forward to the author bringing more interesting works in the future, and I hope everyone can come and enjoy the melons in this book [Spread Flowers]

   Going round and round for the sake of the common people and for myself This is the first novel [Spreading Flowers] that I gave five-star reviews this year. I was initially attracted by the copywriting. It's been a long time since I've seen a novel with this kind of traditional fairy-cultivating background. Although this novel incorporates many elements such as rebirth, time travel, and systems, the author did not choose these people as the protagonists. Instead, he made a character who is more like a "passerby" the protagonist. I think this entry point is particularly fresh. Especially the setting of reincarnation in the nineteenth life is really interesting. But I like the plot of this book more than the emotional line. In fact, I felt that the first twenty chapters were a bit mediocre, and I almost gave up on the article, but after entering chapter 20, my reading experience changed directly. The daily life in the academy is so interesting. It's been a long time since I've seen a novel with group portraits written so comfortably [I burst into tears]. Everyone has their own story, their own background, and the meaning of their existence. I even wished the author could write another hundred chapters about their college life [Dog Head] To be honest, I didn't plan to give it five stars to this year's first novel at the beginning. I was originally planning to save it for another novel. But towards the end of the text, I suddenly felt that this book was worth it. Even if you are an "ordinary person" like me, I would like to pay tribute to an "ordinary person" like Xiao He. Because he has a kind of courage that I particularly admire - no matter how many times he fails, he always wants to try again. Even if he has tried again eighteen times, he still chooses to change the world on the nineteenth time. Although the book does not describe the first eighteen lives in detail, just thinking about it is enough to make people feel distressed. The author also wrote that it's not that he never gave up, but that after falling down again and again, he stood up again and again [hug] If it were me, I really don't know if I have such courage. This is one of the important reasons why I finally decided to give it five stars. The emotional line is also my favorite type. The two people have an atmosphere of being destined and no one can intervene. But on the contrary, because they are so determined, I hardly worry about their emotional development, so the whole book gave me the feeling that the plot attracted me more than the emotional line. I also want to praise the group portraits in this article. The author really loves every character. Whether in the main text or in the extras, he tries his best to give everyone a complete explanation. I also like a point of view expressed in the book: What supports us in life is never only love, but also friendship, family affection, responsibility and ideals, etc. Love is very important, but it is not everything in life [Glasses] Maybe it's because people in the world of immortality live too long [Dog Head] If life span is infinite, people will always be unable to help but struggle with many things. But if life only lasts a few decades, we will cherish everything in front of us more, and it will be easier to figure out what is really important. Overall, this is a novel with excellent plot and group portraits. For me, what really moved me was not the setting or the CP, but Xiaohe's courage to start over again and still choose to move forward. This five-star gift is given to him and to all those who are still willing to start over again [red heart]

   The gods fell into the mortal world full of love I finally finished reading this article. All I can say is that the reading experience of this book was very special to me. Because it happened to be the last article I read when I was in the bottleneck period last year, so... I read it on and off for nearly 10 months. It was really miserable for me when I was in the bottleneck period to encounter this article, but it was also a plotting article [Glasses] The plot is basically consistent with the writing, with elements such as intrigue and infrastructure, and it is well written, with almost no obvious flaws. Because the protagonist has a "god" setting, there are some cheats in some places. I personally can accept it. [Chigua] There is also a plot of borrowing poetry to become famous in the early stage. I think it looks quite cool. However, looking at the comment area, it seems that some readers don't like this kind of writing. If you mind, you can avoid lightning in advance [shy] But more than the plot, I really want to praise the emotional line of this book. It's so delicately written that it makes people's hearts itch to watch it [Spread Flowers] If I give the plot a 5 out of 10, then I can give a 9 out of 10 for the emotional line. It can even be said that the reason why I never gave up on the article was because the emotional line was so confusing [laughing] I had read another article by the author before, but the character of that article was really not to my liking, so I quickly abandoned it. As a result, this piece - my God, it's like a literary star descending to earth. The feeling of pull between the two people makes me full [hug]. When I read articles, I basically read all the contents carefully and rarely skip reading. But sometimes in this article, I really want to know how the relationship will develop next, which leads me to unconsciously quickly flash through some plots and court plots... I'm sorry. The author [please please] also poked at me with his character design, which can be said to be the "very good at loving people" type. And it can be seen that the author has put a lot of effort into character creation, and many of the characters are very likable. Jiujiu's personality would probably be classified as an avoidant personality now. Although he actually didn't avoid [Dog Head] very much, but because I watched it intermittently in the second half, I personally felt that the rhythm was a little flat. Rather than opening high and moving low, it's more like "opening high and moving midway." After confirming the relationship, except for some plots that make people crazy and want to invite the author to the flower market next door to talk all night long, the overall ups and downs are not as strong as before [Chigua] Overall, this is a novel that I would consider "emotional lines more important than plot". It's not that the plot is bad, but the emotional lines are so delicately written and so tense that I can't help but want to quickly turn to the next interaction [cover my face to peek]. Moreover, the characters of Gong and the Little Emperor are particularly to my liking. In my opinion, having the ability to love others is something to be proud of. In a sense, he is even comparable to a god.

   Brave strategy but lost in the heart A very famous short article, I have kept it in my favorites for many years. I finally read [Milk Tea] and I can finish it in about 8 hours. It is a sweet short article. There is no ups and downs in the overall plot, and it is basically similar to the description in the copywriting. The only thing that surprised me was Gong's character. I originally thought he would be a sunny and cheerful big boy type, but I didn't expect... He's quite a contrast [dog head] As for the plot, I can only say that the writing is very cute, and the author also has a sense of humor, which will make people laugh inadvertently in some places. However, there is indeed no particularly brilliant or surprising plot design. It is a sweet story with no merits. If you want to watch an exciting plot and a lot of twists and turns, you may not be too satisfied. As for the emotional line, I can only say that I regret not being able to meet this young lady at the flower market. The subsequent description is really disappointing. (No rustling!) [Dog Head] Ahem... The first twenty or thirty chapters were not particularly enjoyable to watch because of misunderstandings between the two parties, but after the misunderstandings were resolved and the emotional line officially unfolded, it became more and more enjoyable. However, not everyone may like the character design of Gong, and it is not particularly perfect. If you are more concerned about it, you can avoid lightning appropriately. Overall, it is a sweet little article that very much meets the expectations of the copywriter. It is very suitable for reading in leisure time. It is neither too long nor too short. The writing style is stable and cute, with a bit of dry humor. The emotional line is also relatively clear. It may be a little dull in the early stage, but the reading experience will be much better in the later stage. (Finally, please let me "sleep on the street" [crying]) ps. The cover of this article looks similar to the cover of the article below...

   Curator note

   Let us love each other with our souls It's an excellent little sweet book. Personally, I feel that the plot is relatively new. Although it can be seen that it borrows some movie settings, I personally have never seen a story about a soul falling in love with a living person. For me, this setting is quite new. (Personally, I'm curious if this is considered an outsider? Although it was resurrected in the end [eating melon]) Because it was a short article, I spent 10 hours staying up late to read it in one go. I think the author's writing is very fluent and the writing style is very good. It is a type that can be read in one sitting. It also happens to be the final article, and the reading experience is very comfortable. I have always felt that being able to keep people reading is the most basic criterion for judging a novel. If I don't have the desire to continue watching before joining V, then it will most likely be difficult to attract me later. After all, I am now in the bottleneck period of my peak period. I really want to read novels, but I have never been able to find one I particularly like, and I am unwilling to review classics. Moreover, the author is completely like a mother, and she is not willing to torture us readers who are craving for cookies. (Mild spoilers: There was a young lady in the middle who originally seemed to be BE, but the author couldn't bear it and changed it to HE. Oh my god, she is totally a mother! [Crying]) Although it is positioned as a sweet story, I think the plot is also very brilliant. I even think that the plot and emotional lines are about 60-40, and the plot will be slightly more. The full text revolves around the proposition "die with memory, or live without memory". The whole story is in the form of a small unit drama. One case ends and then moves on to the next. There are about three cases in total. I think if it were expanded, it could actually be a full-length novel, but the author didn't. Instead, I felt that the length was just right and it was very comfortable to read. The emotional line is not particularly strong in the early stage, it is more about advancing the plot, and the relationship between the two slowly warms up later. The character was a bit narcissistic in the early stages. I was a little uncomfortable with it at first, but as the plot unfolded, this character became very lovable, so I felt that the second half was more comfortable to watch than the first half. Overall, it's an excellent cookie with a bit of a supernatural twist. It is especially suitable for adjusting the reading rhythm after reading a long novel. Moreover, the writing style is good, and the emotional line is also very smooth. The author is completely like a mother, and she is reluctant to give out any abuse. (The great witch said: We, the two-spined apes, do not accept any abuse [dog head]) As for the supernatural part, it is actually not that scary. After all, I stayed up late to read it... The main reason is that the author writes in a relaxed style with a bit of cold humor, so it doesn't make people feel scared.
