I keep thinking about the meat bun. It shows up again and again and I don't think it's accidental. The first time we see it, Dog Egg can't finish it because he's so used to starvation that fullness feels wrong. "Perhaps he just didn't want it to end." That line hit me like a truck. The bun represents everything he's been denied — warmth, safety, the simple pleasure of a good meal. When Lin Yue gives it to him, it's not just food, it's the first act of kindness he's had in years. Then there's the egg. Aunt Li's two eggs, hidden at the bottom of the porridge bowls, passed back and forth between three people who all pretend not to want them. The egg becomes a symbol of dignity in poverty — the choice to give rather than consume, even when you have nothing. And the fridge itself? It's interesting because it's a modern object in an ancient world. It represents the collision of two eras — the convenience and abundance of modern life crashing into a world where a single copper coin is everything. The refresh timer, the preservation space, the endless buns — it's almost too good to be true, which makes me wonder if the story is asking something about desire and contentment. Lin Yue goes from starving to having unlimited food in four chapters. What comes next when survival is solved? Also: the jade pendant that went missing. The original owner's mother's keepsake, gone without explanation. Is that symbolic too? The past being stripped away, piece by piece?
In love with the book's flow. A beautiful storyline, too.
I read the whole book in one go. Finally.....thank you goodnovel and also thank you author. Now I will follow your everyday updates.
We lost a brave warrior on that day.
This is an excellent, light-hearted and heartwarming novel. Initially, I anticipated a darker tone, but it managed to be enjoyable despite its occasional sad moments. The story revolves around two brilliant students vying for the bottom position, with compelling reasons revealed later. The protagonist's introverted nature contrasts beautifully with the male lead's extroverted charm, creating a captivating "grumpy x sunshine" dynamic.
The supporting characters are hilarious, adding levity to the narrative and capturing the essence of teenage life and the transition to adulthood. While the focus on high school is strong, I would have liked to see a deeper exploration of the protagonists' personal lives.
One notable aspect is the growth of the class camaraderie, evident in the stark contrast between their interactions at the start and the end. As a whole, this is a delightful read, perfect for uplifting moments, with a balanced pacing that feels organic.
However, my one critique is that the transitions between different perspectives and scenes can be disorienting, especially in a multiple-point-of-view novel where readers need to stay attentive to keep track of the narrative flow. Despite this minor issue, the book is a charming choice for anyone seeking a feel-good read.
You look like a m*s*ch*st typing that, coz don't say you didn't saw this coming, there are only two probability, either you are a m*s*ch*st or just deprived of any attention whatsoever.
Have a nice day.
it is good as long as you ignore the parts where the one particular loli appears
I'm not sure honestly I made my profile after reading stuff here for a long time. All I know is I saw someone mention that if you want to raise your karma you need to comment more and get interactions so I'm assuming likes and comments count towards it. It's just kind of cool I don't really care enough to take away from my reading time to look into it lol
imagine two barbarians both men making love :))
HOW COULD THIS BE POSSIBLE??? A COMPANY LEADING ON PEOPLE FOR PROFITS??? NEXT YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME CANADIANS AREN'T ALL NICE PEOPLE!
absurd and brain damaging novel. . . simply garbage
I won’t say much besides the fact that I think this might just have the worst ending I’ve ever read. I don’t mean that It was because I didn’t like it but, it was just literary garbage.
