All My Protagonists Are a Little Crazy

Well, I rarely write book reviews, but I'll share my thoughts anyway. The writing has a literary feel, indicating the author has considerable writing skills, drawing the reader in effortlessly. The plot is tight, which is definitely a major highlight of this novel. Anyone who's read yandere novels knows that the beginning is great, but as the number of female leads increases, many readers drop the story or the plot falls apart. Yandere novels have arguably the highest drop rate, because the male lead inevitably has to choose one to marry, leading to conflict. This novel, however, presents a single story per volume, allowing for a tighter plot unlike those long novels that cramm a bunch of events, especially the 'mother is...'

Despite the long wait for updates, I still believe that this humble author will eventually shine. The current number of favorites isn't high because yandere and short stories aren't the main focus for SF readers. But fate is a strange thing. I used to often overlook this book when browsing romance novels, until I picked it up late at night out of sheer boredom (emmmm) and discovered the author. While light novels are meant to provide enjoyable reading, there are too many clichés and too many love triangles in romance light novels, which disappointed me. Novels originate from reality but transcend it; the joys of reality...

Without exaggeration, this is the best yandere novel I've ever read. The author has stood out among numerous yandere novels, demonstrating solid literary skills and transcending the immaturity and low-level wish fulfillment of most yandere stories. The mature and delicate environmental descriptions, combined with body language, vividly portray the atmosphere of the story and the emotions of the protagonist, drawing the reader in and making them want to keep exploring the plot. The subtle thrills within the elegant and ordinary setting bring an infinite sense of excitement, elevating yandere literature to a new level. A masterpiece in the making!

From the beginning until now, I've truly noticed the author's skill in using environmental descriptions to create atmosphere and their ability to reveal character traits through actions. However, if this is a light novel, is it really necessary to develop every single character, or are all later characters meant to have a significant role? And is the repetitive description of the main characters truly necessary? I wonder what the author's considerations were. Personally, I feel that appropriate detail can certainly enhance the story, making the characters more vivid and memorable, but too much of it can feel contrived...

Pineapple Bun is gone, I can't find it anywhere, and I can't find it on WeChat either. It's like it vanished. Sister Song Yi, where did you go? I've been waiting for two years, and I'm so heartbroken!

As an author myself, I read the first few chapters of this author's book. The first chapter initially confused me a bit; firstly, the characters' names were rather unusual, and secondly, the author used flashbacks, starting with an event that had already occurred rather than beginning the story. However, after reading a few chapters, I gradually became drawn in by the author's slow-burn writing style. I believe everyone gets excited gradually at the beginning, right? Although the author's writing isn't perfect, it's understandable, which is enough. After all, the most important thing for an author isn't writing style, but the ability to conceive a story.

Having read many romance novels featuring yandere characters, none have given me the same enjoyment as this one. The author truly embodies the essence of yandere (Chapter 1). I believe yandere isn't someone who gets jealous and lashes out at the drop of a hat, but rather someone who is willing to give everything for the one they love and will stop at nothing to win their heart. Therefore, they don't readily express their feelings, as this could lead to the breakdown of the relationship. I think yandere characters are actually quite good at hiding their true feelings, only revealing their true emotions at the right time. Companionship is the most enduring form of love. Even a yandere understands that there's no need to resort to desperate measures like a couple leaving together unless absolutely necessary...

The first story was absolutely amazing!

To be honest, I've read quite a few yandere novels, and they're all pretty cliché. This one is quite fitting for the yandere theme. The first chapter really highlights the yandere's romance; there's no scene where the protagonist grabs a kitchen knife just because he likes another girl. It also portrays the yandere's emotional fluctuations more delicately, and the subsequent handling of the situation is consistent with the yandere's characteristics. If you're a fan of the yandere genre, you should definitely check it out. The romance in this book is really sweet, and if you think about the details carefully, the sweetness will slowly unfold and feel incredibly satisfying!

Personally, I think Volume 3 is the author's best and most enjoyable story. The characters are so vividly portrayed: the obsessive Shi Yan, the humble yet persistent Ning Yumu, the unrequited love Cai Xia, the lazy but reliable Shi Tong, and the awkward and fragile Fang Bai. The emotions are described with great delicacy, and the plot is cleverly arranged. Fang Bai's gradual descent into dependence on Shi Tong when faced with an irresistible love is very moving. 👏 If I had to point out any shortcomings in this book, it would only be that it's too short and not enough to read.
