Can I Love You One More Time?

A new book has been released, it's sweet 🍬

Today, January 20th, it's finally finished (Final Episode 1). The beginning was generally perfect, the middle was disappointing, the later part was absurd, and the ending was rushed. In short: a high start followed by a low finish. (Like Cyberpunk 2077, it disappointed me.) The following contains spoilers, proceed with caution. Early episodes: The male and female leads go out, the female lead is hit by a car and dies, the male lead, overwhelmed by grief, chooses to commit suicide and searches for the female lead. He unexpectedly travels back in time, only to find that the genders have been switched, and the former male lead (now the female lead) begins to pursue him. Everything is normal here. If things continue this way, the ending will undoubtedly be the male lead remembering his past memories, and the two living happily ever after, or he not remembering them, and the female lead...

While this isn't exactly a happy ending, does the female lead truly love the male lead, or is it merely an obsession disguised as love? Let's consider it from the male lead's perspective. From the moment he transferred schools, he was harassed by a classmate he'd just met—approaching him in an almost frantic manner, using every means possible, as if they'd known each other for a long time. Honestly, it was terrifying; he was suddenly entangled without any warning. Then, up until Zixi—if we disregard that, then Zixi's story is the second… terrifying thing.

I finally made it! Writing the first long review of a book feels like pioneering a genre, a little exciting, right? But I won't ramble on too much; even for a different kind of long review experience, I need to offer some substance. So, let's get to the point. First of all, this book has a relatively innovative plot among the "transformation" novels, and it could be considered one of the more outstanding and promising works in the double-transformation genre. The male protagonist transforms into the female protagonist to reclaim her lost love, which is certainly captivating for readers and tests the author's writing skills in handling the emotional arc and plot development. Moreover, the author practically sets up a showdown from the very beginning, jumping straight to the point without much pretense—a bit abrupt, but...

The female lead in the most mentally unstable episode has a personality that's completely similar to mine, and that part really made me feel like I was in the same boat.

This male lead is utterly useless, it's too easy for him, isn't it? He just lies around the whole time, the female lead's affection for him is always unconditionally at maximum and never drops, the second female lead is always going for him, and then he freely pursues and falls in love with the second female lead, stabbing the female lead in the back as much as he wants, and then when the second female lead leaves, he recovers and starts clinging to the female lead again. If you really want to make amends, I suggest you get out of here as soon as possible. Is it really that easy for a male lead to be, just being nice and winning the whole time?

It hurts, it hurts so much, Isulder, why are you avoiding me?

Having been a guy for over 20 years, he kisses his own body on his very first day in the original female lead's body. The transformation is incredibly fast; it could easily be considered a female-oriented story. Later, he relentlessly pursues the female lead, and in the latest chapter, it's practically a scene from a fantasy novel—he cries all the time. He's over 20, weathered by society, yet he's still crying on the shoulder of a teenager. When he meets the female lead (the current male lead's body doesn't yet share the protagonist's memories, just a name), he's completely surrendering, a picture of a humble, innocent girl chasing after a boy. They kiss on the lips after only one day! If you were a woman, could you kiss your own body on the lips on your first day? When you were pursuing them, did you ever think about...?

Having read more of the story, I feel that Sister Yuan is like a "Middle Eastern self-destructive bandit" carrying a "bomb" that she keeps silent about. She could easily explain it, saving readers of that story 70% of their stomach churning, but she just won't say anything. At first, I thought she was "wronged," but now I think she "deserves it." --- I originally wanted to write a long post, but then I thought a more vivid critique would be better.

This is an impulsive love story with a great, tightly-paced plot. The writing style is also very evocative, and the dramatic twists and turns kept me reading all night. It depicts an extraordinary love story, but the ending was too short, which left me very disappointed! It perfectly matches my fantasies about love, but it's just a fantasy. Many things in the story have logical problems, such as the parents who have very little screen time, and the male lead's sister. Perhaps the focus was too much on the main characters, so their stories were neglected. Keep up the good work!!! However, it has an old problem: the beginning is awkward and has many illogical parts. This is from another book by the same author...
