This novel is truly delightful. It's an excellent choice for those who enjoy a gentle, real-life story. The two main characters are charmingly portrayed and their developing relationship is heartwarming. The supporting cast adds depth with their distinct personalities, and the author does an exceptional job capturing the essence of high school adolescence.

However, I personally would have appreciated more intimate moments between the protagonists, particularly once they confess their love. I feel that the post-romance section could benefit from a bit more depth and perhaps a few more explicit scenes (although censorship might play a role).

Overall, it's a delightful read that leaves one feeling uplifted and content. The connection between Chi Tang and You Yu is truly blossoming, and it's a joy to follow their journey.

I truly enjoyed this story - it's adorable with a touch of depth. Despite the serious elements, it's overall a delightful read, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. It's surprising that no one else has reviewed it before; it's unfortunate that it's discontinued. I can see why "Cereal Is Life" had a positive take on it, as it's a warm and heartfelt narrative. The machine translation isn't difficult to comprehend at all.

As for the extra content, I'm puzzled about the changes, but perhaps the original translation would provide more clarity. Luckily, there's a new development – someone has picked it up! Yay!

UPDATE: The part about the translation does not pertain to hazevie's version. It was the only alternative available when I completed the novel. Please remember this when reading the final paragraph.

This was my first school-themed slice-of-life Bai He novel, and it was incredibly heartwarming. The two main characters, Chi Tang and You Yu, faced tough的家庭背景 while navigating high school. Their friendship and potential romantic connection were portrayed with such ease and familiarity that it felt comfortable to root for them without fearing major obstacles. The saddest moments revolved around the portrayal of their fathers, highlighting how un deserving they were to have such amazing daughters like Chi Tang and You Yu.

I left the story feeling an immense love and affection for these girls, spending hours daily to delve deeper into their dynamics. I was eager to witness their character development and the revelation of their feelings beyond friendship, as well as the novel's conclusion.

However, I must mention that the translation had some shortcomings, with inconsistent pronoun usage (switching between she/her and he/him) and narrative perspective shifts (from third to first person), which occasionally disrupted the flow. If you're considering reading, be aware that this might be a point of concern for you.

I thoroughly enjoyed the narrative. Both the main character (MC) and female lead (FL) faced challenging circumstances, but they refrained from dwelling on their misfortunes and diligently worked towards a brighter future. This admirable resilience endears them to me. The depth of their connection and care for one another was truly touching.

My sole critique pertains to the translation quality. While the language was generally understandable, there were areas with poor grammar, punctuation, and word choice that detracted from the overall reading experience. A more polished translation would have significantly enhanced my enjoyment. Nevertheless, I am grateful for the translated version being freely available, and I appreciate the translator's efforts. I genuinely hope they can refine their skills in the future <3.
