The Single Mother Across the Hall

In an era of novels rife with harems and protagonists who are invincible to an extreme, this novel is a breath of fresh air. Although the author hasn't finished it, I desperately want to read more. The cruelest thing for a girl is to be robbed of her initial beauty, yet she bravely perseveres because of her child. This highlights the greatness of maternal love and the difference between a girl and a woman—a mother's strength is boundless. I understand the low self-esteem the protagonist carries due to painful memories, but I didn't find it disgusting or anything like that. It wasn't her fault; she simply suffered misfortune. The male lead consistently treats Yao with kindness and love, and I hope they can be together and overcome this...

If it ends up being a harem, I hope Mo Yao is in it. If it doesn't, I hope Mo Yao ends up with the protagonist, because based on her character design, personal experiences, and the plot, I feel it should be Mo Yao. If it doesn't end up being a harem, then I reject all cross-dressing and large-breasted cute girls. So, please, please, please. Finally, I will definitely read this novel to the end, whether it's paid or free. Because the author writes it really well!

To be honest, it's a bit heartbreaking, but it's really touching; I cried twice while reading it _. I hope the ending is perfect and not too tragic, and of course, a harem ending would be best. I guess everyone thinks so. Also, I love Mo Yao the most, the cross-dresser and all. Author, keep it up, muah! Keep updating, I don't mind 10 chapters a day at all. ... (Just filling up the word count; make it longer, 100 million words would be ideal, muah!)

First of all, without any pride on my part, I give this book a perfect score. I've never seen such a beautiful, pure, and unpretentious light novel before. In this era where harem novels are rampant, finding one like this is truly my luck. To be fair, the writing style is only above average, but it's precisely this unremarkable language that opens the reader's heart more deeply than any other light novel I've ever read. I believe no one who has read this book will forget the gentle Xia Chuan, the strong Mo Yao, the seemingly cold but warm-hearted Miss Bei Ming, and the repentant Liu Yixia… The plot flows smoothly and delicately, the characters are perfectly portrayed. As a light novel, what more could you ask for…?

To be honest, this novel is a breath of fresh air among the many BL (Boys' Love) novels on SF (Site of Fiction) featuring sister complexes, daughter complexes, gender swaps, and yuri (lesbian) themes. The female protagonist, Mo Yao, has a heavy past, but the author doesn't shy away from this, depicting Xia Chuan and Mo Yao's life with great warmth. Furthermore, Xia Chuan's friendship with Shit and his complicated relationships with his childhood sweetheart and the rich girl deeply captivated me. I think I won't forget Xia Chuan, Mo Yao, and Shit. The book isn't finished yet, but author, life already has too many tragedies; let's show the beautiful side of the world in the novel, right? (Just between you and me, my family has a thousand-year-old medical tradition...)

This was the first novel I ever finished reading on Pineapple Bun. Although the unresolved plot holes were frustrating, it didn't diminish its place in my heart. The male lead, Xia Chuan, the female lead, Mo Yao, and the supporting characters like the young lady Liu Yixia... Were all vividly portrayed, bringing tears to my eyes. Although I really wanted to read the sequel, the book still ended prematurely. Perhaps poor grades led to its early conclusion. However, those heartwarming and touching stories will forever remain in my heart. In my soul, the story of Xia Chuan and Mo Yao will never end; the two lonely souls will surely be together forever, in a place unknown to us...

This book is actually very well written; the subject matter, like a breath of fresh air, deeply attracted me, and the character portrayals are also excellent. A touch of melancholy mixed with heartwarming happiness creates a deeply immersive and sweet feeling. To be honest, some parts are truly impeccably written; they even gave me a flutter in my heart. Furthermore, I really want to thank the author. I genuinely admire and like every author who writes down every story and every plot from their heart and conveys it to us. We cry and laugh along with the characters—something real life can't give us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You've worked so hard! Take us...

Regarding this ending, I can only fill in the blanks with my own imagination. Frankly, after Natsukawa stated she wouldn't live much longer, the plot should have accelerated and focused on the main characters. There shouldn't have been any new characters introduced. Moreover, the story involves forced sex, which honestly made it somewhat irritating to continue reading. Below is my own imagined ending (I'm a master of imaginative storytelling). ~~ ...

I don't usually enjoy reading light novels, at most Japanese ones, so this one is an exception. When I first started reading, knowing the protagonists' backgrounds, I instinctively thought it was a story about two people with similar experiences who, through relentless effort, ultimately achieve revenge. Later, I realized it's actually about everyday life. The story carries a subtle sense of melancholy, and the characters are very well-developed, especially the descriptions of their inner thoughts, which made me feel like I was truly connected to each one. In short, this book has been a cleansing experience for me, and I really love it! (Please don't criticize my elementary school-level reading comprehension; this is my first time writing a book review.)

I finished the whole book in two days and it was fantastic. Amidst a sea of formulaic stories, it was a refreshing experience. I love Mo Yao; I love her strength, her shyness, and I love seeing her heart flutter, feeling sad for her experiences, for her insecurities, for her avoidance… I love immersing myself in the story, which is why I love this book. All the problems will be solved, all the hardships will pass, there will be sadness but ultimately joy. The male lead will resolve everything; he's like the sun, bringing hope to everyone… …The yandere side story about Mo Yao was so heartbreaking! Why was the ending so painful?! Poor Mo Yao…
