I really enjoyed reading this book!
I like this story. What mean Calendula? I think, that name is so cuteee ?
This is the delightful and heartwarming novel I adore! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The main character (MC) and the male lead (ML) have a perfect chemistry. Their banter and culinary adventures are a joy to read, especially their love for food. And oh, the ML is like a charming child, so irresistible that it's no wonder the MC can't resist him – sigh. The story is a fine wine, and the sweetness of their eventual union after a long, arduous wait makes it all worthwhile.
The ML realizes from the beginning that the MC isn't the original host, but he doesn't display concern or curiosity; he just doesn't care. As the story progresses and he falls in love with the MC, there are moments where he stays awake at night, fearing her sudden disappearance without a trace. His pleadings of "Don't go," "Don't leave me," and "You won't abandon me, right?" tugged at my heartstrings and portrayed his vulnerability and anxiety.
Thankfully, the MC does leave eventually, but it has a happy ending, which brought immense relief – I would have been devastated otherwise. The novel was quite easy to translate from Chinese, and I plan on revisiting it once the translated version is available. Thank you for bringing this gem to our attention!
Tapov author was inspired by TNE and acknowledges that the first vol is tne rip off, but after that it gets way better than tne
Thanks mate!
I know what a metaphor is, but a metaphor that is used over and over again unnecessarily is not just another metaphor and becomes an adjective.
This is another installment in the series featuring a cold-hearted male lead (ML) meeting an attractive main character (MC) with a unique talent. The author frequently emphasizes the MC's beauty, which might be repetitive for some readers. The MC is portrayed as a master planner with an air of calm confidence, but his actions often involve passivity and waiting for others to make moves, as if he has everything under control.
The ML is an enigmatic figure, initially distant but exclusively devoted to the MC, revealing a possessive nature as a wealthy elite. The harem aspect serves as a constant reminder of the MC's appeal, but the dynamics feel shallow and lack resolution, treating former friends as disposable without exploring their emotions.
The plot is slow-paced, with the romantic storyline yet to reach its climax at chapter 104. There are numerous plot holes and predictable online opinions. Overall, the story is surface-level entertainment, suitable for light reading to pass the time.
If you're seeking a balanced perspective, consider reading existing reviews, but here are some tips to help you navigate the book without getting frustrated by the supporting characters:
1. Skip over sections that are purely visual or too absurd; you can glance at the text without engaging fully if it feels like a waste of time (trust me, there will be plenty).
2. Embrace the suspension of disbelief at the start of each chapter, as the author may introduce irrelevant subplots or characters solely for their own sake, which may not contribute much to the main storyline. For instance, a flight attendant falling for the protagonist simply because he's wealthy or has a fancy pen might be a distraction.
3. If you find yourself struggling with overly long passages where side characters engage in pointless banter or criticize the protagonist, feel free to skip those parts. It's often just filler content meant to belittle the MC, but it won't significantly change the overall plot if you miss it.
While I appreciate the concept of "owning a system," many stories with this theme tend to fall short in terms of writing quality or character development. The MC often comes across as weak or foolish, and the supporting characters serve mainly as plot devices. It's unclear if it's difficult to create a compelling narrative with this premise, but unfortunately, many books with this idea fail to live up to their potential. It's a pity, indeed.
This isn't a trainwreck; it's more like the train took a wild leap off the tracks and soared into outer space. The narrative structure is scattered, struggling to maintain any sense of cohesion throughout. Many scenes leave readers baffled and questioning their understanding.
However, despite its chaotic nature and reliance on unappealing tropes like mind-bending and manipulation, some might still find enjoyment in this book if they can overlook these aspects. Despite the convoluted storylines and occasional rough translation, there's a redeeming element of entertainment here.
A crucial point to mention is that the novel is heavily steeped in themes of despair, mental health struggles, and immense stress. If you can weather these elements, then by all means, give it a chance. Just be prepared for a challenging yet potentially engaging reading experience.
