Iris Love Letter

I'm struggling to put into words the emotions I'm experiencing right now ?. Normally, I avoid novels where the main character (MC) meets an untimely end, so I tried to immerse myself, almost as if someone was tugging at my heartstrings. However, this story deeply touched me, and even the additional chapters left me feeling overwhelmed. The ninth chapter, in particular, shattered my heart irreparably. This novel has etched its place in my heart forever ?.

This novel stirred deep thoughts within me, questioning the essence of life, whether my current path is truly fulfilling, and if I am truly living, not just existing. Time flies so swiftly that we often risk missing out on cherished moments. I yearn to make meaningful changes, find genuine happiness, and soar like a bird, relishing freedom without the burden of future regrets.

Each word I read resonated with a myriad of emotions – a rollercoaster of despair and solace. The tears that flowed were not in vain, for every syllable etched its mark in my memory and touched my soul. I am grateful to the author for creating such an extraordinary piece and to the translator for their exceptional work.

May both the author and translator enjoy a prosperous, healthy, and joyous existence. ✨?

It's a heart-wrenching story, not even featuring an alternate universe as a consolation. I wholeheartedly recommend it; I found myself crying by the third chapter and was utterly moved upon finishing the additional content. If the somber tone initially puts you off, don't let that deter you. It's a truly beautiful and poignant narrative.

Reading it late at night, I fear waking up with puffy eyes tomorrow. What I appreciate about this novel is its realistic approach; sometimes, things just unfold without a sugar-coated happy ending. This particular unrequited love story is truly exceptional - it tugs at my emotions so powerfully that it breaks my heart (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻, yet I can't help but adore it. I'm definitely intrigued to explore more works by this author, whose writing style has captured my interest. It's not often that I come across an emotionally charged love story like this.

Reflecting on my own past, I can relate deeply. In high school, I had a crush on a guy for three long years. We communicated anonymously, and eventually, he found out my real identity, though we never met in person (laughs). My confession led to being labeled as 'just a friend', which hurt. So, I decided to stop contacting him, but the obsession lingered for two more years until I turned seventeen. The rejection taught me the importance of letting go, and eventually, I managed to move on after university. However, the fear of rejection left me hesitant to open up again. It's better to express your feelings rather than waste your life on unfulfilled dreams.

"I must say, it's surprising to learn that it's based on a true event. Honestly, it caught me off guard." Regardless, it's an exquisite tale. Although it's poignant, it doesn't elicit tears, which is a refreshing change. What I appreciate is the absence of any clear villains – often, that's a common feature in stories that frustrate me. This story has a soothing atmosphere, making it a fitting read after an emotional rollercoaster from other narratives that might leave me crying in the morning. Plus, its brevity is a bonus; it strikes the perfect balance of content without overwhelming.

I was fully aware of the narrative, the impending outcome, and the consequences I was about to face. However, I let it seep into my heart gradually. The realization that it was far more than I could handle struck me like a bolt, shattering my emotions. In an alternate reality, I envision them enjoying dumplings together.
