I wanted to plant rotting roots and grow thorns that would kill at a touch, to pierce this hypocritical civilization.

   Excellent book, worth reading again and again. My high school classmate recommended it to me after reading it in 2020. I missed this good book because I was not interested in the subject matter. I opened this book one day in college and read it in one go. It was so exciting that I regretted not reading it earlier. It turns out that the interstellar novel is not boring, the plot of the defective product is quite complete, and the relationship between Lu and Lin is extremely strong. It is highly recommended.

2. 2 默 Silent Reading 默读 priestDanmei (BL)824k WordsCompleted Childhood, upbringing, family background, social connections, trauma... We keep tracing and searching for the motives behind criminals' actions, exploring the faintest shades of their joy and sorrow. Not so we can put ourselves in their shoes and sympathize with them, let alone forgive them. Not to find excuses for their crimes. Not to bow down before the so-called complexity of human nature. Not to reflect on social conflicts, and certainly not to let ourselves become monsters too. We're only 1.7MFavorites1.6MClicks/ch2.6MGifts

   The feelings of family and country are antique. It's on the Bai Yueguang level, and the characters are very well created. Gu Yun Changgeng has made me miss him for many years.

   The best novel about breaking the mirror and restoring the true meaning, it is also one of the few books in P that focuses on emotions. It is written very naturally from beginning to end. I hope it will be published in my lifetime.
