   Qiu Qian's books are still the same as always, written as if they were real, which is different from other authors' books. No wonder people always joke that Qiu Qian's books are based on her real experiences. You can see more than just love in Qiu Qian's books; you can also see the mundane details of life, as well as setbacks and difficulties. But it is precisely because of this that the couple's relationship seems so precious. I, for one, am quite envious. If I could find my own happiness and live the life I want, I would probably be willing to pay the price of becoming a girl and being forced to eat cream puffs.

   The main plot of this book is pure love, but there is an "what if" harem plot. Even after the ending, the relationship with the "loser" characters is not completely severed. Although the "loser" characters pursued the male lead and he did not accept them, it still felt a bit awkward for me, a pure love expert. But overall, it is still well written.

4. 4 重 The Reborn Elf Thief Also Wants a Peaceful Life 重生精灵盗贼也想过平静生活 Izawa伊沢Western Fantasy716k WordsCompleted A young man who lost a bet on a soccer match in his previous life was reborn in another world as an elf girl, and awakened the Thief class.

   It's well-written, but the ending has a bit of a lifespan-themed feel, and the ending feels rather rushed. By the way, in another book set in the same universe, the ending for the male and female protagonists isn't too good right now, especially since the author is currently on hiatus. Seeing a happy ending might be a once-in-a-lifetime event.

   I'm too lazy to introduce each of the later books, but overall the ones I added to my reading list are all good. Just read the summaries yourself. However, I still feel a bit melancholy about this book. It feels like it ended in an awkward, in-between position, which makes me quite depressed.

    "After Marriage" is a very sweet story that warmed my heart, but it only covers the high school years. The author abruptly ended the story after that, leaving out the college and marriage parts. Although the author promised to include the college scenes as a side story later when time allows, it seems unlikely that the author has much time for that. So it's probably just a promise that will never be fulfilled. This left me feeling very melancholic after finishing it. It was so well-written, but the lack of a sequel made me feel like ants were crawling all over me, and I was depressed for a whole day. Therefore, please decide for yourself whether or not to read it.

A samurai? In reality, he's just a little brat about ten years old, the same age as me. He looks sweet and adorable. But once you get to know him, he's surprisingly exhausting. [Hey, shrine maiden, make me some food!] He really doesn't know how to ask nicely. Well, it doesn't matter. With a mental age over thirty, I won't take offense.

    "Remarriage," written in the first person, carries a subtle melancholy throughout. While reading, I was terrified the author would deliver a tragic ending. But don't worry, it has a happy one. Although the author initially intended a tragic ending, I'm thankful someone persuaded the author to change course; otherwise, I might have been depressed for days. While tragedies are memorable, they often come from hurting others. I much prefer a sweet, happy ending, as life is already hard enough. Overall, it's worth reading, although the first-person perspective might take some getting used to at first.

    It felt a bit disappointing that the story ended after the female lead completed the main quest to reach 1 million followers. Where am I supposed to find the sweet daily life scenes that follow? Damn author!
