Kyoto Story

It took me about two days to read it, and to be honest, I felt it was a bit complicated. The character creation and the initial storyline are still very attractive to me, especially some of the secrets hidden in the story, which are not revealed until the end. This is also the motivation that supports me to bite the bullet and finish reading... However, this is the first time I have seen the writing technique of repeating and expanding the plot of the first part in the second part, and later wrote The author also said in his acceptance speech that he hoped to write a plot like a Möbius strip. Every time a small angle is shifted, a new feeling will arise... I can only say that okay, I have an idea, but the repetitive plot really made me want to give up several times. If I didn't read the word count and want to figure out what happened, I wouldn't have been able to watch the end. The author's writing skills and thoughts are still there, which is what attracted me. However, the long and vague character relationships and plot really made my head hurt. Many things and the protagonist himself were not explained clearly. It just progressed slowly, and I almost read the second half of the book at a glance. Generally speaking, it is a story about a protagonist with a relatively rough family background who goes to a Japanese school and has emotional entanglements with several women (the ones who have relationships are all in the senior year, and neither the ones in the same age or juniors make it to the end. The author's taste is quite interesting...), And then it involves family secrets, Japanese gods, etc., Emm, in the end, I only had a partial understanding of it. The portrayal of women's psychological thoughts is a highlight of this book. It reminds me a bit of the feeling when I was watching "Norwegian Wood" when I was a child. At that time, I only thought that Japanese people had mental problems and were prone to sex and suicide. Different women in this book also have their own thoughts, but they are mainly dependent on men. I have to say that compared to China, since most Japanese women have been educated to be housewives and male subordinates since childhood, feminism and women's status in Japan are actually far less prosperous than in China. Overall, this book cannot be regarded as a simple online novel. There is a certain creative thought in it, but the plot structure and event description make it difficult to read.

There are no reviews for such a great novel? 🤔

This book was written a long time ago, but I like it very much👍

Is Princess Anping also the author?

I read this book more than ten years ago, and I still think the first one is the best, simple and pure. With a touch of sadness.
