Darling, What Happened to Our Promised Happiness?

Ahem… Let me be a lazy, troll king, full of love, justice, and upright morals, with a perpetually youthful spirit, who doesn't want his girlfriend to be a yandere (you can talk about it later if you already have one!). CHZU is here to review this book! Okay, enough rambling! Let's analyze this book, "Darling, Where's the Promised Yandere?" (Hey, it's happiness!) Ahem… Where's the promised happiness… Isn't that a lyric from a certain Dong? Coupled with the terrifying Second Miss (I think I'm not mistaken, it should be Second Miss). Hmm, okay, you successfully… no… didn't catch my attention… First of all, I'm not interested in this kind of subject matter because…

Seeing the title alone made me uneasy. Reading the title further, I felt this novel was definitely not for me! Yes, extremely unfriendly. I prefer comedies to tragedies, and looking at the terrifying cover, the horrifying title, and that "kill and eat" tag, I knew this was definitely not a book for me. However, to broaden my horizons, I clicked on it anyway. So, let me briefly explain what yandere is. By the way, yandere actually has a hidden attribute called "darkening." Yandere refers to a mental illness caused by an extreme love for something and a state of shyness, while "darkening" refers to a mental shift to a darker personality, resulting in actions that are inconsistent with one's usual demeanor...

I've read a lot of yandere novels, and this one, in terms of writing style, portrays the male and female leads very well. I'm happy to say, wow, reading this book was so enjoyable, it satisfied my craving for yandere characters 2333. However, the plot felt a little loosely structured; I wonder if the author noticed? In yandere novels, the female lead is usually someone who, in despair, places her hopes on the male lead. Like in typical stories, the beginning would describe how desperate the female lead is, contemplating suicide, only to be saved by the male lead and fall in love with him. But in this story, the female lead is acting recklessly because of a friend's suggestion, only to be saved by the male lead. It feels like she never experienced despair from the start; she was just...

At first, I was drawn in by the suspenseful exterior, but what's left after it's peeled back? Is it sweet everyday life or chilling subplots? Perhaps... Both? Actually, I myself don't quite understand, yes, I don't understand the protagonist Zi Tong's thoughts. What is a yandere? In my eyes, a yandere is an absolute dependence on someone, not on what that person can do for you or what they can give you. It's a dependence on that person themselves, an inescapable dependence, like an anesthetic. Some might say, "Aren't you ashamed, a grown man talking about love and romance?" To that, I just want to...

Everyone, I'm back!

[Light Novel Review] Commentator: The reason Xiao Huang clicked in wasn't just because of Jay Chou's lyrics, but also because the cover was too beautiful for me to look at. (Manual sarcasm) This is a novel about a deeply darkened yandere. The first few chapters each contain a short story of the yandere saying "I love you, so I'll kill you," seemingly unrelated, like an episodic drama. But as you read on, you realize how formulaic this novel is. The early chapters use extensive descriptions of violence, gore, and perversion to grab attention, but this is merely a setup for the girl's later deeply darkened yandere identity—a clever two-pronged approach. The idea is good. However, the weakness is...

The author has been locked up by his yandere girlfriend (ಡωಡ) Don't wait any longer, he's never coming out, his life is over (ಡωಡ)

I've only read about seventy chapters, and I don't know if it's the same later on. Up to this point, I feel the characters' deaths are too abrupt, at least for the two I've seen so far. And they don't contribute to the plot at all. If I had three chapters to edit, I could make them seem like they never died. Yes, Yin Junxue's death did advance the emotional arc, but otherwise served no purpose. The author even spent a lot of time writing about the chain reaction after her death; I don't know if this was foreshadowing, but from my current pace, it didn't seem to contribute anything to the main plot. Another guy...

This book has been discontinued since 2018. What happened to the author? I haven't read it for two years, and the comments section is full of NTR (Netorare, a Japanese term for sexually explicit content).

Whenever I choose a novel late at night and see the rampant sci-fi and moe-themed works, the dominance of gender-swapped novels, and the overabundance of moe enthusiasts, a sense of moral decay wells up inside me. The loss of traditional culture fills me with sorrow, and I seem to hear Lu Xun's famous saying: "Treatment cannot save the Chinese people." All this rambling is simply to say that since treating the disease won't save the Chinese people, let's treat the disease with the disease itself—let's use gory, yandere (obsessive and possessive) novels to cure our deeply ingrained moe-themed mentality. Friendly reminder: Don't read the first six chapters!
