The Gray Sky

The female lead in this book is disgusting, and not just the female lead, but also Xinlan. Is it only the "heart-dog" who gets hurt and escapes unscathed? Later I understood why the "heart-dog" is so disgusting: the person you trust most doesn't trust you at all, the person you care about most doesn't care about you at all. After the person most important to you is alright, they interfere with the person you hurt. It's realistic, but not human, it's a "heart-dog," it has a "Sakura-dog" feel to it. In the final showdown, they even exploited Kong's last lingering affection—and they call themselves an angel?! It's absolutely disgusting!!!

I promised to write a book review for the author, but I almost forgot. Sorry, I'll make up for it today. I read the author's work last night. Frankly, this isn't a very good work. Whether it's the plot, the characters, or the narrative, it's clear the author's writing isn't very good. For example, the battle descriptions at the beginning can only be described as "concise" and "simple." The first two or three chapters of the prologue gave me a headache. The opening scene of separation and death, "I love her, she loves me, but at the same time she hates me, I can't hurt her," I only understood that one meaning, followed by flashbacks. I don't think the early stages will retain many readers. The plot...

I didn't draft this time and just wrote it directly, for which I apologize. Well, having not read a new book in a long time, when I stumbled upon this one and read the prologue, I knew it would be good; the plot perfectly matched my expectations. The prologue was a bit angsty, but that wasn't a problem for someone like me who's been through so much dark and disturbing literature. Honestly, when I first saw the title, my first instinct was, "Holy crap! The Gray Trilogy?" It scared me half to death! The title is actually quite catchy, because anyone who's read the Gray Trilogy knows what I mean, so I won't elaborate. From the plot, the main storyline doesn't seem clear yet, but considering it's still in the early stages of the novel...

The relationships feel too chaotic, and the "crossdresser" label is completely irrelevant. If the male protagonist is Sora, the story should revolve around him. For example, Sora could sacrifice the "Ninety-Seventh Abyss" in the "Burial" to help him be reborn as an unparalleled crossdresser in a new world. Devastated, Sora's personality splits into two: a pure, innocent Sora with no memories of his past life, and a corrupted Sora who retains all his past life memories. The corrupted Sora is latent, only triggered under special circumstances—the "Beginning"—when the corrupted Sora intends to let the innocent Sora live a mundane life. The "Turning Point" involves various past lives, whether acquaintances or enemies...

If book reviews were for offering suggestions and venting, then this one probably wouldn't be possible. I'm absolutely blown away by it! I read the prologue rather superficially before, and only started reading the whole book again today before rereading it. It opened up a whole new world for me. The prologue is truly heartbreaking, a story of despair. It perfectly embodies the idea that tearing something beautiful apart for others to see is a tragedy. It's so cruel… I'll skip the prologue for now; the more I think about it, the more painful it becomes. The characters currently appearing in the main story: [Empty] [Heart], siblings with no blood relation but a deeper entanglement, currently roughly divided into two parts…

Looks like I'm the second one. Like the first reviewer, the author's updates are really slow, but I can understand if it's because of studies. To be honest, I genuinely cried while reading the prologue. I was thinking then that if the author just wrote a terrible ending, I'd definitely send them a knife! The prologue felt so painful, so incredibly painful. Haha, maybe I'm just being too sentimental? Although the later plot is mostly slice-of-life, I still hope the author can write something like the prologue. Because it was just so good! I feel like the author didn't mess up the writing...

I noticed that one chapter of the side story was missing, so I made sure to add it.

What's the deal with the "crossdresser" tag here?

I've accepted the author's first comment. (Don't be sad, author, it'll get even better, there will be more readers.) Let's get to the point! This novel is a bit of a mess, like most new authors. The writing is rather inconsistent, the protagonist is an invincible character, and many main characters have appeared in just a few chapters, which is detrimental to the later stages of the novel. There are also too many foreshadowing elements; not to mention how to fill in the gaps later, digging another one will be very difficult! However, the author's writing style is genuinely good, and they are working hard to update despite being urged to.

Happy April Fool's Day!
