The writing is good, simple and touching, making it very appealing and encouraging to keep reading.
Truly touching. I remember enjoying reading *Yilin* magazine during my middle school years, though ten years earlier than this book. Ten years is a period of immense change. In those naive years, we thought everything would last forever, that we were invincible, that we were fearless. Sensitive children often struggle during their formative years, clearly seeing the changes happening within themselves, understanding the process, and then realizing that the only constant is change itself. Let's talk about the characters. The delinquent girls and hooligans might seem exaggerated and funny to me, but thinking about it, it reminds me of myself ten years ago, when I was their age—someone who was naive and arrogant. Zhang Motong embodies that naiveté and arrogance. Perhaps ten years later, looking back, she'll only think she was immature and ignorant, but at that age, no one felt they were wrong. He Mufeng, that kind of boy...
Overall, the author's writing style is quite unique, but with so many characters, it's a little confusing. As for other aspects, I don't have much to say; my opinions are similar to those of other authors who have commented before. The plot is indeed very engaging, but it also has its shortcomings, which will be improved upon in the future. It's worth looking forward to; keep up the good work!
Keep it up! Support!
Even romance novels need climaxes.
Even romance novels need climaxes. This novel is indeed a romance, but in my personal opinion, even romance novels need conflict and plot climaxes to be well-written. And what I've always liked are plots about showing off and getting slapped in the face. Even if it's just Mo Tong showing off, it's quite good. For example, since Mo Tong was a celebrity at school, there must have been people who disliked her but couldn't do anything about it. Bringing out one or two of those people and having Mo Tong slap them in the face would feel strangely satisfying. So, everything becomes easy. Just write one or two guys who think they can beat Mo Tong in a fight, and then have them provoke her. Of course, these people definitely don't know that Mo Tong has trained...
The original poster (OP) assumed the book was fantasy based on the title. After reading the first chapter, the OP subconsciously thought it was fantasy, a story of an ordinary male protagonist and a powerful female protagonist's entanglement. However, after the female protagonist's introduction, the OP went to the book's synopsis and realized it was a romance novel... The author's writing is very delicate, and the male protagonist's emotions are vividly portrayed. The female protagonist's cuteness and slight arrogance are also palpable after her introduction. However, the OP really dislikes stories about young couples starting relationships so early... Not that the OP likes them, but rather those who have established a romantic relationship. Regarding character development, the OP can only perceive the main characters' personalities; as for the supporting characters... The OP can't distinguish them, and the dialogue between the male and female leads is indistinguishable. The OP suggests the author add more detail to the supporting characters to highlight their traits. Also, regarding the second male and female leads' stories, the OP feels their story appears too early; the female protagonist hasn't even appeared yet, and the supporting characters are already developing their characters. Of course, this is just the OP's opinion...
The writing style is prose-like, with beautiful and elegant language. The opening is unique: "2016, Wuhan. He Mufeng, as usual, wrote those sentimental words in his diary. Yesterday too, the day before yesterday too." This passage feels more like the author's own narration and commentary, immediately catching the eye and making one feel that this person must have a story. I really like this idea, inexplicably so. On the other hand, 50,000 words and only 100 readers seems a bit low. Upon closer reading, I discovered potential problems. First, the plot isn't tight enough; a slow-paced narrative has its advantages and disadvantages, making it a slow-burn story. Second, the sentence structure needs improvement; it shouldn't be too long and feel drawn out. Readers who don't like this style might find it difficult to savor every word. These are just my personal suggestions. I wish the work great success.
