A Boy's Girlhood

After finishing this book, I was left with mixed feelings and unsure of what to say. While seemingly rich in content, the book is actually quite empty. Like this review, most of it is just a rambling account. A closer reading reveals the author's detailed descriptions of the environment, characters' actions, and their inner thoughts, allowing the reader to understand the characters' every move. However, frankly, this is purely padding for word count. It's as if the author has removed the delete key from their keyboard; much of the content is completely unnecessary, yet the author added it without ever revising it, or...

I read over a hundred chapters late at night, and I couldn't take the angst anymore.

This female protagonist is so foolish. She could have gone to her homeroom teacher, the police, or even her grandmother, but instead, she just keeps talking about dying. If no one cares about her, she should just consider herself an orphan raised by nature, take good care of herself, be self-respecting, self-loving, self-reliant, and independent. As the saying goes, "As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement; as earth's nature is receptive, a gentleman should cultivate virtue and bear all things with magnanimity." She should love herself, be strong, and persevere. If she really can't take it anymore, she can find a good place to leave this world. After all, heaven is blind; there's no reincarnation, no next life. She can sleep forever, eternally trapped in despair.

The actions of the parents, brother, and family were not excessive at all. Ideally, they should have kicked the female protagonist out of the house, severing her last remaining emotional ties with her parents and brother. Then everyone would go their separate ways, and if they met again, they would be strangers. This way, the female protagonist could accept reality, her personality would change more quickly, and she could live a happier life. If she couldn't accept reality, leaving this world was also an option; after all, no one would care about her. If she was depressed and unhappy, leaving this world sooner would also be acceptable, just like Zheng Zhihua's suicide note: "Don't cry, my dearest one, don't cry, my dearest one. Tonight I bloom like a fleeting flower, withering in my most beautiful moment. Your tears cannot bring back my decay. Wounded skin heals, but how can the wounds of the heart heal? A broken mirror..."

What have you been through? Dude, reading your novel after get off work is making me depressed, you jerk! 😭

Is this going to kill off the male lead...?

I hope the female lead has a better, easier life. Ideally, it would be a lighthearted, enjoyable story, but a simple, easy read is fine too. Since I identify with the female lead when I read, and my own life isn't great, I hope for a happy ending. I hope the female lead lives a good life, not so depressing, and is happy enough to laugh and cry freely. I hope the male lead is devoted to her, cares for her, spoils her rotten, understands her needs, worries about her, and protects her from harm. He cherishes her, because a broken heart is hard to heal, and even reconciliation can never restore things to their former state. I hope the female lead and male lead's fate is predetermined, but also a choice they made themselves. I hope the male lead will love the female lead well...

The author should have already earned their tuition fees by now.

This is making my buddy depressed, bro.

But in real life, if you meet a guy who looks like a girl, would you really call him a sissy or a transvestite? Most people would probably like to hang out with him.
