This story is very fun and romantic. Wei Wei fits with Xiao Nai very well. Many happy unpredictable things happened in this novel.

A modern Chinese story about a handsome, perfect guy that is a Computer Science College Student x a beautiful girl that is also a Computer Science College Student and how they got together through an online game.

I’m not particularly fond of online games novels. But I decided to read it because of the high rating.

However, I didn’t like this novel because...

... more>>
Spoiler

I found the novel very confusing...

Spoiler

... with various characters names and players nicknames, a lot of game terms, internet slangs, and jargons of Wuxia (a genre of novel that depicts adventures of martial artists in ancient China).

So it was hard for me to catch up with the novel, so the reading wasn’t so pleasant.

Maybe that’s more my fault than the fault of the Novel, since I don’t speak Chinese and I’m not so knowledgeable of online games terms and Wuxia stories. Or maybe I’m too dumb? Because the translator created a side note explaining all those unfamiliar terms and I still had difficulty to understand...

[collapse]

I also don’t like the main couple very much.

Spoiler

About the male lead, Xiao Nai...

Spoiler

... because the story for me it was one of those annoying Chinese novels with an ultra super duper perfect male lead that makes everyone drool over. Rich (have his own company at young age), handsome, extremely smart (won dozens of awards in IT even though rarely shows up in college), good at sports (basketball and swimming), proficient in music (guzheng) and good at strategy games (go game)...

They even say in the novel: “Xiao Nai was akin to God”... the only thing missing is that he didn’t have a temple or his own religion, so people could keep worshipping him.

I can even understand that perfect characters can exist in fictional novels.

But what annoys me the most, is how the author needs to highlight the awesomeness of the guy over and over in each chapter that he appears.

I would not get surprise if from the 48 short chapters of the novel, half of it would be only filled with phrases complimenting the godly male lead. Argh 🙄

[collapse]

About the female lead, Bei Wei Wei...

Spoiler

... I feels that she was a flower vase (extremely beautiful and that’s it). I know that she was a good online game player and reasonable smart college student. But she was far as being so good like male lead. Which annoys me... like, why she couldn’t have some perfection at least to counterbalance with the godly male lead?

Since, despite being a good gamer, she wasn’t as good as male lead, despite being smart she couldn’t compete with the genius male lead. And while she was playing the online game, eating with her parents while on vacation, he was all busy building the frame of his own online game in his company.

Why we can’t have a female lead as powerful and capable as him?

[collapse]
[collapse]
[collapse]

But, my favorite part of the story is...

Spoiler

... actually the play they stage in the game. The story of the mountain bandit and the musician. As female lead being the bandit that kidnapped the musician male lead, because she falls in love with him. But in the end, the musician was a disguised law official that kills her. In the end, while he reminiscent about their past, he notices how he also loved her.

There’s even a real youtube video about that story... and the best part is at the 19 minutes... where he’s remembering him playing a song while she’s dancing with her sword...

【剑网三】白衣红影(剧情向) 微微一笑很倾城

[collapse]

Anyway, I encourage people to read the novel and decide for themselves if the story is good or not... <<less

The Story is nice and light, the ML is really loveable, he is the ussual mr perfect but he is not a cold as*hole who control his girlfriend. He is actually pretty sweet to FL and always trust her and be there for her.

as for FL, she is a clever and nice girl. Moreover, she is not the typical dumb and weak girl so I like the FL as well

and the translation is also good, thank you so much translator-nim

Notes;There is someone with id zhanhanszhengshuang down here who give false... more>> review saying that the ML is a rapist, egoist and controlling, dont mind her, there is no such thing in this novel lol. She sure is a troll who is obsessed with her own couple ship lmao, I doubt that she even read this novel first before she wrote that coment <<less

This novel is really refreshing because this really feel like a really strong female leader, she has her personality and she stand for herself no like many females on other novel
The male leader is good but I dont like the lack of flaws he has, he doesnt feel like a real person but he is not annoying
Overall is a really enjoyable story

I read this after watching Love O2O since I couldn't get over the show. Anyway, it was a great decision to read it because here it comes full circle with all the scenes that were cut in the show and the relationship of MoK and the side stories of Xiao Nai and Bei Wei Wei!

This story has everything I like in a quick read - a good love story, great friendships, good humour, positive outlook, smart and strong female lead, and... I have no words to describe the male lead😅....

Anyway,... more>> what I meant was It was really an enjoyable read. I would recommend watching the CDrama - *LOVE O2O* if anyone already hasn't. The two things that sold it for me were - 1. There was no s*upid angst and misunderstanding between the Main Couple (I've had enough of being a crying mess from other stories so this one was a breath of fresh air😌) 2. It has GREAT SENSE OF HUMOUR especially in the drama!!!! YuGong, Monkey Wine and Senior Beauty have become some of my FAVOURITES!!

I knew this story existed quite beforehand and I really I had read it back then but oh well. Better late than never.

I can only express my love for this story by using Xiao Nai's lines for Wei Wei -

"IF I KNEW I WILL LOVE YOU SO MUCH ONE DAY,

I WOULD HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH YOU AT FIRST SIGHT."

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

AND sorry for the long review. 🤗

Kudos to the Author and Translator! 😊💟 <<less

The ML decides while the FL just goes with the flow and they get married in the game...

FL and ML marry in the game, fall in live, meet in real life and fluff happens. The plot is nice and sweet and everything flows really nicely for the FL and ML.

This is good if you are looking for something lighthearted to read but I found it to be kinda boring.

Ahhh so good! I've already re-read it a couple of times, both translations are very very good. It got me to watch the Chinese Drama and movie (although the book is absolutely the best). Super cute male-lead-falls-in-love-first classic! A great standout from other great stories--the ML has his own character and it's super exciting to read, he's always so into the MC. And the MC is a great champion, they're both badass! Absolutely classic.

This novel confused me at first (like really). But it paid off to keep reading. The couple is beautiful in more ways than one and after reading so many blandcromances and xianxia, this is extremely touching.

I like it. End of sentence. Try it out. You need a break from other things. ?

Good translate. Nice & charming words. But the story is just 'ordinary'. Boy meets girl. Boy loves girl. They're married and live happily ever after.

That's all. No plot twist, practically no antagonist, no rough wave. Read, smile, read next, finish.

I finished this but want to reread it again and then give a formal review.

For now, all I can say is that it's a very sweet and cute story focusing on the romance of our protagonists.

The game elements is nicely done, it's quite hard to find similar novels with online gaming elements.

I won't leave a rating as I found myself comparing it to the tv show all the time. I have to say that the characters are more 'alive' in the novel than in the tv show. Some reasons may be the stiff acting and the unsuitable casting. The plot is better in the tv show though since it has been adjusted to have more episodes. The plot in the novel is pretty straightforward without much conflict and bumps along the way.

The extra short stories are a hit and miss for... more>> me. Some are really fun and cute, some are toxic parenting, and some are borderline manipulative. <<less

If "to be a virtuous wife" was the first historical romance novel that started it all for me, then this story is the first modern romance novel that started it all for me.

Started reading c novel in 2014/2015, back when I still found the directory in shushengbar, and I fell in love with this novel.

Very very excited when the drama first aired, and fell in love with Yang Yang's handsomeness.

This novel is very idealistic, perfect couple, and all smooth sailing. A very cute and satisfying read that leaves a very... more>> deep impression. Thank you for the awesome work as always, Gu Man! <<less

No wonder this was made into a drama~ Great leads, great side characters, warm and fluffy story-- it basically had everything. Its only flaw is that it's too short and the leads got together so fast like Mach 20 speed fast lol.

I love the leads especially their personalities. ML might look indifferent and arrogant but he's very sly and shameless towards FL. FL might seem foolish and dumb sometimes but she is very determined and righteous. She also doesn't like to pay attention to things that don't matter to her.... more>> I initially felt confused as to how fast they got together though I just gave up on that since ML did plan to get her for quite some time and FL did fall for him in the game. Love really does come unexpectedly.

As much as I don't like BL (like I don't read them at all but I do respect people who like reading them and are into that genre so it's chill), but the side BL couple is indeed a bit cute (re: their banter lol). Ah, that one was really unexpected lol. I really like the friends that they have and those characters just made the whole novel more cheerful and fun to read.

Overall, it's a very very good read that you can read in a short time since it's only 48 chapters (+side stories) so defo recommend this~ <<less

i watched the drama before I came across the novel so it took me some time before I decided to read this. But even before reading it, I watched the movie version! Honestly though, I like the movie version because in there the lead characters that were portrayed here as perfect seemes imperfect and with flaws and you'll see that you can relate to them. However, in the novel and series, though the interactions between them were adorable, it feels they're from out of this world.

it's a nice read, a... more>> very light novel. <<less

I actually like this more compared to "Come & Eat, Shan Shan" which is by the same writer. The storyline for this is much more fulfilling, like how the FL will take control/determine her life/knows how to take care of herself from potential harm and inflict harm to those that does it to her first. The interaction between leads as well as their close friends is also very entertaining.

Am also very grateful for the awesome translation done so that those can't read Chinese is able to.

I'd say this is 3.5/5

It's cute, simple, and nothing like those complicated story—but plain. Too plain for my liking. I would've liked a bit or a pinch of 'drama' just to add flavor to the story. The whole argument happening in the game is not even that serious in my opinion (serious being to the point of tr*sh talk). And the way their relationship turned out was fast. She didn't even had the time to think and just went with it. The moment she realized that it was too fast,... more>> she finds it hard to take back since apparently they're going out already.

They seriously need to interact more. I don't mind that they first got to know each other in game but it would've been better if they have more content about their lives out of the game. How they both develop their relationship out of the game. For me, it seems like he decided that they're in a relationship and girly accepted it. Then they started going out, cool no prob, but they lack depth? Like, that's it? Well, in reality, some relationships are just that simple and not complicated.

But the side story about MoK was funny, cute, and interesting. I'm not really into BL but it was cute. <<less
