A Quartet of Childhood Friends in the Snow Country

It doesn't feel as good as..."Country Love Story: Tokyo Returns Neptune Chapter"

Let me mention it. The author's writing is very good, but the writing is very boring. There are many female protagonists in the daily series, and the writing is neither a light novel nor a fairy tale. On the contrary, there are too many stomachaches. The author's writing style is very good, and the whole text does have a sense of material sadness in the book. But the plot is really a mess. As a pure daily life without any supernatural elements, can you believe that the plot is so dull? The protagonists have gone through several trips and only eaten and soaked in hot springs. The rest is a little stomachache, and then No more, there are neither sweets nor any outstanding interactions or interesting scenes. The only chapters that impressed me in the whole novel were the handicraft department and the girl with glasses. The only outstanding character was the little crying starfish, and then Not only did the description of the male protagonist lack a sense of empathy, he even seemed particularly childish (md after all, I want to see good writing, so why don't I read the classics? Even light novels about toilet paper are more interesting than the author's writing. At least it was actually written by Taijun)

As much as I liked Shangzi in the past, I hated Shangzi later. Why? Because I came here for the Crystal Palace, this is also the most fundamental long-term expectation given to me by the title introduction, which is the ending of the Crystal Palace. Shangzi is the first character to be accepted (although she is not in the role, she has established a relationship, and there are too many interactions and chatter between the two. I personally am very, very tired of Shangzi's plot and have no expectations). She has been actively or passively hindering the progress of the other three players, and she is becoming more and more aggressive. From a practical point of view, I can understand Shangzi's behavior and actions. I agree and think it is reasonable. This is what a real girlfriend and a girl-loving person should do. From a reader's perspective, I can't understand it. I didn't come to see the heroine who was fighting for her role in the party, I came to see Crystal Palace. I don't think there is any problem with Shangzi's strong character of 2,304,500,000 words. It fits the character very well and is real! The writing is great. Design a plot to make her accept the Crystal Palace and let it go. It's someone else's turn, and I want to watch someone else! This is also the way to write the emotional line of mainstream harem novels. Two or three characters are introduced to raise expectations, and then a strategy is chosen to satisfy expectations, and an introduction to the Crystal Palace is left. Then the other heroines are cross-staged to prevent a certain heroine from being too advanced and affecting the performance of the other heroines, and gradually reaching the Crystal Palace. (Crow, Willow Bank, Changing Yu, Chicken Fork, Selling Newspapers, Guanguan, etc. Anyone who has read a lot of harem novels should be able to see that they are all written in this way. Even current articles about party disputes and stock speculation are written in this way. No matter what the protagonist and heroine are, there will be no problem with this set) But at 1.25 Million words, it's very, very hard for me to accept that Naoko is still an obstacle to the Crystal Palace. It's just like watching the party squabbles in the old days. She has been teased and blocked all the time. Many places where she was giving sugar to other female protagonists suddenly mentioned Naoko again, just like taking insulin to forcefully lower her blood sugar. Sweet but not completely sweet. I'm very curious whether the author didn't think of this when making the outline and plot design, and forgot to give Shangzi a stage ending, but he still wrote it happily and didn't stop Shangzi's progress. In short, for the role of Shangzi: I understand it rationally, but I hate it emotionally.

Shangzi

Note: The book review is long, about 5,000 words, and contains a lot of spoilers. Friends who have not read about 150 chapters are advised not to read it first. [Introduction] Recently, in order to seek evidence of "how flat are starfishes?" (Although, but, the starting point is really this...), I read the entire text so far (up to Chapter 194) again. During this period, I became more and more aware that Morimi's line runs through the whole story - the "Morimi is observing" and "Morimi feels that he is smarter than others" and "Morimi is executing his own plan" mentioned in the previous book review are all clearly confirmed... Of course, these are not important. Because today's topic is about Kazuyo Morimi, who best meets the definition of "perfect girlfriend" in this book under the general argument, what exactly is perfect. In other words, this time, I want to read about the growth journey of Morimi Kazuyo, the only water magician in this book. Before elaborating on all this, we need to take a look at the timeline and the ages of the boys and girls (the word count is related to a separate post). This will help us understand some of the details in the plot that seem like "where did the damn Asasi come from" but are actually fully foreshadowed, including the male protagonist's uncertainty about the relationship and a series of questions related to these "history". A long word here, cool articles usually don't require too much thinking, and you can have a good reading experience if you read them with a little bit of coolness (or even straightforwardly say XP). However, the more realistic background settings and less novice plot developments often make the reading a bit dull when you read it for the first time (especially if you read it slowly...). As the opposite of the shortcomings, I can guarantee that when the plot of this work crosses a certain threshold (such as... Right now?) Or even is completed, the overall reading experience will be quite great. From my personal perspective, this may be one of the reasons why fans of this book and its author are "higher in purity", but it is relatively difficult to promote it. Morimi Kazuyo's Plan A Kazuyo's first plan has been around for a long time. To be precise, it was no later than the age of 12 (that is, around the time Harumi left Aomori), and he had already started planning and putting it into practice. Unlike the two leading elder brothers and sisters, Harumi and Hikaru, who have strong rhythmic abilities, Kazuha's presence in the five-person gang as a child was firmly at the bottom. The starfish who protects her is also more lively than she is, and Naoko is unshakable with Sada Harumi. In addition, Naoko basically lives at Naruse's house because her adoptive parents are away from home for a long time. Later, starfish becomes Harumi's step-sister. Yiye, who lives far away and is not outstanding (a skinny, little yellow-haired girl), must be the one on the fringe. But like the other three, she all likes Naruse Harumi very much - "In other words, in that distant time, there was no girl who didn't like him" (Chapter 49 - Aquarium, this sentence is speculated to be Haixing's inner OS). But for a little transparent person, how to "hug the beauty back"? ——Reading! Morimi Kazuyo is the daughter of a bookstore owner. Like Naruse Harumi, who was influenced by her father and likes to read, she is far better than the others in reading (Haixing uses mobile phones, Naoko does handicrafts, and is just a sportsman). I don't know which romances she has read. In short, Morimi Kazuyo's first little plan was to make a decisive move when she was 12 years old. She dedicated her first kiss to Harumi who was about to leave, and had a romantic exchange of each other's first kiss full of girlish hearts. ——As for later discovering that the prelude to his grand plan had no possibility of being established (the starfish was Harumi's first kiss and first love), that was another story that made Kazuye extremely angry. As we all know, this little plan was aborted naturally, and the timid Kazuha didn't even appear in Harumi's melancholy vision when he was leaving. Perhaps from that time on, Morimi Kazuha began to make more detailed plans. Plan in planning A, is a 6-year-long plan, from the age of 12 to 18 - Kazuyo probably did not learn the idiom "working behind closed doors", and started the implementation of this plan without having any grasp of Harumi's developments, including but not limited to: 1. Improving grades in order to obtain enough information when choosing a university. Autonomy ——This is easy to understand. If your grades are good enough, you will be relatively free to choose any school. Then I will take whatever Harumi wants to take. 2. Improve your understanding of literary and artistic works and dramas. This is one of the positive influences left by Naruse Harumi's biological father who admires him. He will adapt to his preferences and be prepared. Suffering ——The increase in reading volume is obvious. In terms of drama, it can be seen from Kazuha's role as the screenwriter of the class film at the school festival that she has accumulated experience in this. In any case, being able to piece together such a long film is definitely not as simple as just talking 3. Ensure the originality in terms of habits and appearance. Ecological, high-quality self, women want to please their own appearance, foundation is very important -the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, never dyeing hair or wearing earrings, in short, to maintain a beautiful and positive Morimi Kazuha It must be said that before the age of 16, Morimi Kazuha was indeed a ruthless person who could pursue love rationally. Unlike Starfish's instinctive courtship that is almost self-destructive (yes, it is beyond sensibility! In addition to eating and sleeping, love is more important than anything else), she is really executing her plan meticulously. For this reason, Yiye was so busy that he flew into the air. What made her happy was that by the time Chunhai returned in the summer of 16, there seemed to be almost no flaws in this plan, and it fit perfectly with Plan B. [Plan B by Kazuyo Morimi] If Plan A is a rational plan driven by the emotional element of a girl's emotions, then Plan B is a disguise of Plan A based on rational considerations. Plan B is essentially the same as Plan A, but there is a slight difference: she studies hard, reads a lot, and doesn't get involved in messy things, all in order to get into a better school and become a better person - for the reason of chasing a man, it is really inconvenient and inappropriate to confide in others. In other words, even if there is no Naruse Harumi, doing this will make her become an excellent person step by step. Who can say no to this? She almost became "someone else's child." In order to cover up Plan A, and not to have too much information to interfere with myself - throughout the entire text, Kazuye is actually not a ruthless or cruel person. Just like many people including me, their mouths may not be hard but their hearts are definitely soft. There is no way to put some ideological seal on yourself and create some isolation. Therefore, from the age of 12, she hardly interacted with other childhood playmates. But this is only the surface. Without exposing her target, she was still very concerned about Harumi - after Harumi came back, Morimi's father still called Matsu Chiaki Asahina, but Kazuha paused and said, "She has now returned to her real name and is active." This is obviously the result of searching after a period of time. Five people became four, and each one became independent again. The five-person group of childhood sweethearts completed their solo careers almost as soon as Chunhai left. [Morimi Kazuyo's Plan A. And several subsequent improved versions] Plan A and B were ruined the moment Naruse Harumi returned - "What are you thinking about coming back at this time." - Morimi Kazuyo was not informed of Harumi's return, but was greatly shocked after a sudden encounter. ——Now is not the time to panic, Morimi Kazuha! Although unexpected factors may intervene, we cannot mess up. ——What should we do, Corporal Morimi? ——... Anyway, study hard first and show your best side. You can definitely do it if you are so good... Right? But under the author's evil manipulation of the world line, the improved version of Morimi Kazuyo's plan is really difficult to cope with the series of changes that followed: Harumi and Naoko are almost living together, and Hikaru's endless pull and pull have put her originally stable three-point-one-line life of private school-school-home/bookstore in jeopardy. In this regard, Yiye, who has "black" and "just over the shoulders" hair, became increasingly anxious. After washing, the beautiful long black hair began to go their separate ways - she lost her hair. In fact, she has always been under a lot of pressure - before Harumi came back, Kazuha had comforted herself more than once: no one can talk to her, no one can understand her, and coupled with her obsession with results, the intensity of the accumulated pressure is obvious. The real trigger that completely messed up the plan was undoubtedly "tutoring for Haixing". The academic impact of this incident was far less than the emotional impact of a little finger - Harumi thought so too - teaching a stupid sister should be a piece of cake for a top student: but in the end, Kazuha, who seemed rational but was actually very emotional, was finally shaken - people who like to read various miscellaneous books are unlikely to be purely rational creatures - the memory of her childhood has never faded, and she began to long for Harumi more and more. This time, it is no longer the desire to use electricity to help relieve stress, but the desire to have a specific picture of the person I love. What followed was the 9th place result and Harumi's crushing performance to the top. Facing Naruse, she said, "It's all because I want to tutor your sister." In fact, she didn't realize that there wasn't much of a show of force in this rhetoric, but more of a coquettishness to the person she liked. She fell too quickly. Harumi has changed a lot. If Naoko hadn't been there when they met again for the first time, she almost didn't recognize him. Fortunately, she still recognized Naoko even though they barely communicated with each other. She herself has also changed a lot - "He probably feels the same way about me" - which also includes a little pride in her "yellow-haired girl has become slim" (16-year-old Kazuyo is 167cm tall, which is considered tall in Japan); but Harumi is taller than her. The prince charming in her dreams was even better. He easily achieved the first place that he had worked so hard for but could not maintain stably (in fact, in the second semester of his freshman year of high school, he immediately encountered a ruthless backstab from the sky. The first semester in Japan starts in April and ends in July, followed by the second semester after the summer, and the third semester from January to March). He was handsome in a mess, and even his unconcealable pride affected every cell in her body. While pointing out that Harumi "clearly cares but can't let go and is a little proud of herself", it also revealed her eyes that are paying attention to every move of her sweetheart almost all the time. An aside. In high school, it is actually relatively difficult for girls to fall in love and do well in their studies at the same time. On the contrary, in the cases where the performance of women fell off a cliff as soon as they fell in love, the proportion of girls was relatively higher. This is probably a disadvantage of women who tend to think more rationally. Subsequently, all development began to derail, and rationality began to collapse. [Morimi Kazuyo, disguise or not] With countless delusions such as whether Naoko and Harumi will live together, and what will happen next, and the reality of trying to adjust their mentality and fight again but still coming in second place, Morimi Kazuyo's plan slowly evolved from "a small setback for the king" to "just like this". She still followed her habit and studied hard, but occasionally slept in, and no longer resisted hanging out with her childhood sweethearts. Before Chunhai came back, Kazuyo was a lonely guy who read a lot of miscellaneous books. If you have read a lot and have a lot of ideas but no one tells you because of the character, environment and other factors, I think that when you meet every guy who "may have the same interests as you", you will become " You also like me as a single man too much, right?" (Nagigi Eko's light novel "おらおひとりののこときすぎだろ.") Rena Hatori can't stop like a machine gun. This point is made clear many times in the article: When he is alone with Harumi, Kazuyo can chat with him for half an hour or even longer. We even have reason to believe that if neither of us dares to forget Naoko (sometimes it is because we have to miss Haixing, but Hikaru is definitely forgotten...), If we chat for twice as long, it will not be a big problem. It was born this way, or it was mixed with four years of "preparation work". In short, they were highly consistent in their interests and hobbies. After Morimi's version of the "Watergate Incident" (there was water, there was a push door, the name was very reasonable), Kazuye even removed the seal on his mouth. He said whatever he thought of, and simply attacked with venomous tongues when he didn't expect to say anything. Not only was Naruse not annoyed by this, he was even "helpless on the surface, but already resigned to it in his heart." As for physical contact, Harumi didn't make a move, but Kazuha's bare feet stepped on it. When there was no one around, Naoko was able to cosplay and lean on Naruse's shoulder, which was even easier. Morijian Kazuyo still pretends to be a follower of Plan B and be a good student in front of others. She is so skilled in this role. The past four years are not only a golden period of growth and development, but also a critical moment of personality shaping. Although her acting range is wide ("I told you, I don't want to hear that kind of bed plot, why do I still keep..."), But the role of a good student is played half-heartedly, which is not a problem at all; but when faced with Naruse Harumi alone, she has already behaved like a little girl in love towards her sweetheart or even a lover who has established a relationship. Rational courtship is a kind of process that "scares you" only for a moment, but the preparation process is as painful as an ascetic. There is actually no equivalence between the pain of investment and the pleasure of achievement. It is not incomprehensible to be leveraged and given up by others during the preparation period (rather, it is very realistic. On the way to becoming excellent, the main person has not yet realized how good you are, but bystanders know it clearly). It is not difficult to imagine that in the parallel universe where Harumi did not suddenly return, Kazuyo would be very tired, and he would be getting more and more tired with the pressure of studies and competition. But the leaf that broke out from the shackles of reason and transformed into a butterfly is now super cute and extremely dazzling. [Perfect Girlfriend and Childhood Sweetheart] In my eyes, Naoko and Harumi's mutual love and affection have long been integrated because of their family experiences. This kind of emotion is so strong that it overflows and cannot be dissolved. This childhood sweetheart relationship and abundant family affection include infinite compromise and tolerance for each other. Therefore, neither Naoko nor Harumi is willing to "cause trouble" to each other. For this reason, they will even unconsciously hide some of the past and current conflicts that they need to face: in many works that I find boring or even hateful, but contain a lot of cruel truth, misunderstandings breed and suspicions spread. The childhood sweethearts are repeatedly "naturally" stolen by the Goddess family, which is also an old script. But childhood sweethearts are omnipotent, not to mention there are five of us this time. For Naruse Harumi, in both study and life, if a true childhood sweetheart like Kazuha Arimami, who has a similar odor with him (crossed out, is a like-minded person), has no scruples in communicating with him, and has been seen through by accident, it must be a lie if he can be unmoved and careless. To put it more radically, if it is a game or a light novel about stock trading, if there are no coincidences or even off-site factors, this sense of love coming naturally is almost impossible to escape. This is also the source of my opinion about "Kazuha Morimi is the perfect girlfriend". Shangzi's overly heavy burden, Haixing's sadomasochism, and Hikaru's loneliness will all be resolved together with her lover and friends. [Boys and girls...] ——Yes, I think it is a solution. Human life is a process of losing something and gaining something, alternately making active or passive choices. Since you can't do it again, embrace change and face it bravely. I admit that it is undoubtedly refreshing that the unwillingness to look back at the past can be annihilated or even sublimated (in human terms: time-travel flow, rebirth flow), but that has nothing to do with the future we are facing now. You can't admonish those who have gone by, but you can still chase those who have come. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to solve it now instead of regretting it in another life? In order to achieve this goal, whether the process is joyful, sad, mixed with guilt or even subversive of morality and general theory, I think boys and girls will enjoy it, pain and happiness. After all, this is the story we've come to expect. Rather, this is the starting point of my preference for this type of works. (Full text completed)

The five people were the tightest small group at first. However, the relationship between the five people was only maintained by Harumi. When he left, the contact and relationship between the four people obviously collapsed. Even Kazuha, who had the best relationship with Haixing and cared most about Haixing's thoughts, was still aloof from Haixing before Harumi came back. On the one hand, Haixing joins the hot girl team, and on the other hand, Haixing makes up for tutoring. He has never found Yiye, and Yiye will not take the initiative. If this is the case, it is impossible for Chunhai to successfully start a group in the future, because the relationship between several people is not as good as this. However, when Harumi came back, Hikaru took action. Although she accepted Harumi's commission, she quickly pulled Haixing out of the hot girls, and at the same time began to use the opportunity of tutoring to reunite the five people. If the five people have been in a broken relationship, then only Naoko will be highlighted around Harumi. And her carefree character is the best disguise. Hikaru will use the intimate gestures she made towards Harumi when she was a child, but in fact they are no longer children, and Hikaru cannot be unclear about the meaning of these gestures, because her character is fundamentally a representative of high emotional intelligence. I think the most important purpose of doing this is to bring back the starting line. Since I alone cannot affect Chunhai's feelings for Naoko, then I will use the advantage of many people to let Chunhai have more influence on his feelings. This will slowly return the four people to a balance of power and gradually eliminate the emotional advantage Shangzi has accumulated over the past few years. As long as the five of them are together, Shangzi will not always be the most conspicuous one in Harumi's eyes. As long as he helps other girls when they are in trouble and avoids Shangzi once, there will be countless times in the future. As for Guang, he can continue to use his closest and best "brother" relationship as a child to return to this competition. Hikaru's action gave Kazuyo a chance. Normally Kazuyo's sense of presence should be the same as when they were introduced when they were children. He is the least advantageous among the four and is invisible. However, Kazuyo was caught by Harumi when he was rewarding himself. This became the key for Kazuyo to be "unscrupulous", such as the crazy attacks in the last two chapters, stepping on his feet and sticking up. And Harumi's response is also very interesting. After the reward incident, he was particularly tolerant of Kazuha, and often noticed Kazuha's feelings. When soaking his feet, Haixing was not noticed, and he would even allow Kazuha's behavior to continue. . Does this mean that this child has Brother Cheng's tendencies? If there are no reward events, Kazuyo can only rely on Haixing and buying books to gradually increase her relationship with Harumi, and she most likely knows what happened to Haise and Harumi when they were young. From the fact that she will continue to flee to Harumi and restore their relationship with Haise, it can be predicted that Kazuye will be the staunchest supporter of many female protagonists. Because among the four, her relationship with Harumi is the weakest. When Harumi recalls his childhood, he will feel strange to Kazuyo. The other three people have their own distinctive characteristics and have more memories with Harumi. Kazuyo only has hard study and is a dispensable "accomplice" to Harumi. The feeling this book gives me so far (see chapter 134) is that Naoko and Harumi are the same people. They are both afraid of losing, so they chose the most conservative way. However, Hikaru and Kazuha will not be satisfied with the status quo and will continue to catalyze the plot. There is also the possibility of the two joining forces, and the starfish is a weapon that both of them know can have a substantial impact on Naoko's status. Recently, Naoko will gradually realize that she is one against three (Haixing's IQ is probably pushed away, but she is also very brave. After discovering that Kazuya is stealing, she may use the most free way to let Harumi experience the beauty of multiple heroines), and in the end, Naoko will definitely compromise and assimilate under the siege, but this process is cruel to Naoko. Summary: Shangzi's advantage lies in me. Not only is he arrogant, but his scheming is obviously not as good as Mitsuru Kazuyo's, so he will definitely lose. The one who disguises himself best is the most likely to be the first to capture Chunhai by surprise. Ichiyo Tie Tie is fine, but it's very difficult to get closer, and you need to continue to improve your relationship with Harumi. Haixing is the opponent that Shangzi pays most attention to, and apart from being able to fight for free, his IQ is worrying, so he most likely has to pick up the leftovers.

Although I have already replied to someone else's post, I would like to open another post to express my personal views. Likewise, discussion is welcome, but don't comment if you don't like it.

It's time to give Qidian Day a little more shock

The prototype is Asakura Tooru

Chunhai's sense of responsibility and morality in love should stem from the breakdown of her family in childhood, which is a manifestation of a lack of security. The inner paranoia about responsibility made him unable to accept Kazuyo's idea of ​​a harem, although Harumi could not help but care about Kazuyo at this time. Shangzi also lacks a sense of security due to family reasons. Chunhai is her only salvation and the motivation to continue living. Naoko's love is heavy, a love accumulated over many years, a bit suffocating love. It can be said that she has completely entrusted her life to Chunhai. Naoko played an undeniable important role in helping Harumi get out of her heart, and also made the progress of the two of them ahead of others. In order to ease her uneasiness, Chunhai chose to show up, and the two officially started dating. However, the ambiguous relationship with the green plums has not yet been completely cleared up, which has increased Harumi's moral burden, formed a concept in his head, and kept a distance from other green plums. But he didn't expect that everyone wouldn't want to let go, including himself (byd's mouth is really tough). Kazuyo blurs the boundary with Chunhai in the constant ambiguity, but when it comes to breaking his concept, he will deliberately keep a distance. Although Kazuyo knows that he is in the wrong, it also lays the groundwork for Kazuyo's subsequent explosion. Kazuyo's personality is strong, which can be seen from details such as her attention to exam rankings. At the same time, Kazuyo's love is humble. She had no sense of presence in front of the person she liked when she was a child. Now she has put aside all shame and face, just to be with the person she likes. Harumi's alienation caused her grievances to accumulate. Under the stimulation of Song Qianqiu, all her emotions burst out at once. After taking the first blood, no matter what considerations he had, Harumi would probably not pretend that he could not see his emotions with Kazuha, but the two might have been in a cold war for a while because of this matter. The plot that follows is probably the rivalry between Naoko and Kazuyo. Let's see how Kazuyo, who got the first blood, can manipulate others to face Naoko the big devil and break Naoko's monopoly. Yu Bao, you write well, you write well! Twist me hard! I want to see blood flowing into rivers, blood flowing into estuaries and teeth!
