Tong Is Actually Tong

[Light Novel Review] Commentator: Big Sheep Cat Hello everyone, this week's review is *Kiri-kun is Tomokazu* (hereinafter referred to as *Tomokazu*). This novel isn't actually a traditional Japanese light novel; the writing and scenes are geared towards being "down-to-earth." In terms of subject matter, it's a relatively rare genre in science fiction—a reverse marriage story, or to put it more traditionally, a gay romance disguised as a story. As for me reviewing this work, I don't know if it's lucky for the author. I personally have a lot of curiosity, so I don't have any prejudice against any genre, especially niche ones; I'm very interested in those. However, I think...

I was still a virgin when I watched this during the summer vacation after my third year of junior high school; now I'm a three-year-old...

I initially approached this book with the mindset of someone who reads BL (Boys' Love), thinking it would be just another slice-of-life story. However, upon closer reading, I discovered the author brought these ordinary daily moments to life. While this book might not leave the same lasting impression as some darker masterpieces, reading it at the pace of a physical novel offers a unique experience. The author's high school daily life is evident throughout, making it feel relatively realistic and worth reading. (Not enough words... Let me add something else.) Perhaps some guys can't accept the "marriage-changing" trope, but I think most protagonists in such stories have a bit of a feminine side deep down...

The author is a fujoshi! The author is a fujoshi! The author is a fujoshi! Damn it! Why did I even click on this story?! Damn it! My heart has been damaged beyond repair! Seriously! I mean it! I'm not kidding! Author, if you're not a fujoshi, that's really terrifying, I mean it! I'm not kidding! This story is addictive! Once you start, you can't stop! Although I've already dedicated my soul to Lord Lucifer, this is the first time I've ever seen such an adorable crossdresser! He's practically a complete woman! How can the inner thoughts of a mere crossdresser be so cute! Even cuter than a girl! Sorry everyone, I got too excited. I'll keep things brief...

Shanghai SIPG won, and excited fans rushed over to write book reviews. Campus slice-of-life—a niche genre, given the broader context of online literature. Transformation—not exactly a mainstream theme, but it's popular here. However, this work possesses a trump card that can attract readers anywhere. At the very beginning, the truly unpretentious opening, the inexplicable premise, and the countless characters seemingly dragged out like blind dates—this is, in my opinion, the least relatable part of the book. But after the inexplicable, there's a sense of wonder. Suspense—something beloved by countless readers since its inception—begins to demonstrate its enduring power...

Objective accomplished! Now raise your fingers, aim at the thumb-shaped button, and start tapping like crazy!

The plot of this story is somewhat original, but its major flaw is that it's overly verbose and detailed. Every time a topic is mentioned, it feels like it has to be explained in great detail before returning to the original theme. This makes the reader feel like the scenes are constantly shifting. For example, at the beginning, when discussing the male protagonist's personality, it insists on bringing up a basketball game, and even then, it's unnecessary to describe that game in its entirety and in every detail. These things could have been briefly mentioned first, and then elaborated on later, or even included in a side story. Often, this kind of writing style makes the reader feel like they're reading about something, and then suddenly...

This is a truly captivating transformation novel with a tightly woven plot that's incredibly engaging. The only slightly confusing part was the appearance of the mysterious Wu Tong… but that only lasted a few chapters and didn't detract from the overall enjoyment. It's likely foreshadowing something that will come in handy later. I apologize for my poor writing skills; I can't fully express my feelings about it, but once you've read it, you'll definitely be drawn in. Initially, I only read it because of the transformation tag, but I genuinely loved it and followed every update. Seeing the author mention it's a story about marriage made me even more excited; I personally really enjoy that genre. In the main text…

I remember first seeing Tong during summer vacation, when I was full of energy. I was bored and casually opened Qidian, and that's when I saw Tong. To be honest, I updated very frequently back then, but for some reason, my work was deleted. I remember I was silent for a long time afterward, and it took me ages to recover. During that period, I didn't update much, which made me wait anxiously. Recently, I seem to be doing much better, and I wish me a Happy New Year! Although updates are still slow, keep going, author!

At first, I read this book as a typical transformation story—basically, the kind where the male (or female) protagonist transforms after an accident or some other unusual event, and then begins various daily life adventures, like a loli's otherworldly hot-blooded tale. Later, I realized it was completely different from what I expected. How to put it? The whole story exuded a strange feeling (I can't quite put my finger on it, but it wasn't a bad feeling), and I gradually became drawn in. The protagonist's helplessness during his transformations, and Zhou Ziling's various misunderstandings, all created a warm yet subtly melancholic atmosphere in the daily life. Perhaps I will...
