The Girl Gazing Up at the Hazy Moon Beneath the Cherry Blossoms

This book seems to have been held by me when I was a child…

Although I haven't read too much yet, it's quite obvious that the writing style is very healing. However, a healing style doesn't mean it can be all about healing. Currently, I feel the author's writing lacks a stimulating element. When you first encounter this student, you're drawn in by the healing writing style, but after reading more, it becomes tedious. My personal opinions are: First, the plot drags, and there's too much bland, uneventful daily life. Daily life should be interspersed with other elements; simply describing daily life occasionally is fine, but constantly doing so makes it tasteless. Second, there's the issue of the tag. The author has a strong ability to resist negative reactions, but...

A preface: I like this book and think it's a good book, which is the premise of this review. I'm revisiting *The Girl Gazing at the Moon Under the Cherry Blossoms* (I'll refer to it as *Cherry Blossoms* from now on for brevity) at the beginning of this month. Flipping through the pages, *Cherry Blossoms* started updating on February 8, 2020, and is a recently signed new book on SF. However, this novel was already being updated on other websites two years ago. Seeing many readers in the reviews saying "it seems familiar," is probably due to the above reason. As for the original author, I really want to give that procrastinator a good scolding! Actually...

I've read over 1200 chapters so far. Could the author please reveal if the male lead is Yusei? If so, I find it hard to accept given the significant age difference.

Interestingly, I stumbled upon this novel during a reading slump. Seeing that it was nearly three million words long, and the synopsis evoking memories of my recently concluded high school days, I was hooked. I caught up in it instantly, reaching the latest chapter in just five days and still wanting more. In short, it's a leisurely-paced, engaging, and well-written novel that I really enjoyed. The writing is delicate and just right; the descriptions of the environment and the portrayals of the characters' psychology are excellent, with very few instances of over-the-top or inappropriate descriptions. This also perfectly matches the theme of the story. Personally, I think the writing is excellent, perhaps not quite as good as...

Following my previous book review, the unfolding story has prompted me to write another, more detailed review. This novel is incredibly engaging. The plot, character interactions, psychological descriptions, and character development are all meticulously crafted and logically presented. The most important aspect of a transformation novel is the psychological development of the characters after their transformation. As mentioned in my previous review, the author is a woman, so some of the experiences are fresh and new to me as a man. The content is incredibly detailed, even delving into the selection of women's products and their thought processes and behaviors (emmmm…).

It took me three or four days to finish reading it all, and I was exhausted. I definitely need to watch it on a tablet next time. There are so many interesting parts. The author is a woman, and her descriptions of female physiology are excellent, as are her portrayals of the characters' inner thoughts. The protagonist's feelings about different genders during her transformations were so compelling that I reread it several times. The author's inner thoughts are also outstanding compared to other transformation novels. Although sometimes the later parts made me feel both heartbroken and annoyed for the protagonist, it didn't detract from the novel's style and enjoyment. On a side note, the cross-dressing scenes were fantastic; have you ever considered writing a cross-dressing novel? And regarding the marriage part, the story presented too many choices, making things a bit...

I really can't take it anymore. Seeing Ziyan return to China, I just couldn't help but want to cut off Lin Yu's character. It's like they've completely changed her personality; it's totally different from before. Adding a new character would be acceptable, but Lin Yu now feels so contrived and hypocritical. The disconnect is too severe. Although I don't like Lin Hua, at least he acts like a normal person. But Lin Yu makes me feel like she's wasted the last few decades of her life. And that dream scene—it makes me explode every time I see it! And that other thing…

It's quite interesting to talk about. Initially, I liked the protagonist's appearance—white hair, red eyes, and it's a transformation story. But as I read on, I got hooked. It's very calm and doesn't have any major conflicts. Every character is well-developed. First of all, I wasn't familiar with the game "Near Moon Girl's Etiquette." Although it includes some characters from the game, the early characters are all original. After discussing the characters, let's talk about the main plot. The main thread in the early stages is the protagonist Ziyan's psychological changes. The foreshadowing of her initially being a boy with a soft personality is quite clever; attentive readers can notice it (not by nitpicking, but by not skipping chapters...).

Is this a yuri (lesbian) story or a marriage story? After reading over 3 million words, it feels like everything is yuri except for the lip service claiming it's not lesbian. The character development from the original work is mediocre.
