So far, really good read.

I feel sorry for Xiao Ya (MC), she has no friends at school and can't speak during class, of course this is more than enough reason for her to have rock bottom grades. Her father hits her with the sole of his shoe! How dare he! Who does that to a daughter???!!!! GRRRR!!! She's obviously going through depression but both parents have no idea and they fight about how her grades suck and it's because of the other's fault... and sadly Xiao Ya overhears. What makes it even sadder is that she has acne (kids get bullied a lot for this) and she hears other people calling her ugly behind her back. Her self esteem is at rock bottom.

[collapse]

The 1st chapter ends with her arriving at the school winter trip of 21 students and it turns out she will be roommates with the school's popular girl, Lu Xiaobei. It seems like there's potential for Lu Xiaobei to save her from her depression and hopefully improve her life. <<less

Honestly, I just started reading this and I love it. Although the MC isn't the OP type, she's actually quite relatable in certain areas. Like for example, her reason for her low grades. This kinda hit me because I felt the exact same way as her, I also had depression around her age and it affected my grades pretty badly because of the no motivation or my emotional/mental distraction.

Another thing is the fact that she thinks it's no use telling her parents about her circumstance and her mindset towards the... more>> situation, it's exactly what I also thought. Even when I had depression or run into—let's say bullying, I don't bother to explain to my own mom. The reason is because my mom has a very strong personality both emotionally, mentally, and even her actions physically. She never experienced depression and couldn't have any understanding about my situation. Even more so, no matter what I say to her about it she just dismisses it so in the end, just like the MC, I bottle myself up.

Now when it comes to progress reports, it's like a whole doomsday for me. Those who don't come from a strict Asian household or a strict household in general like the MC wouldn't be able to relate to her circumstances. Because what her Dad did to her was exactly how my parents would have treated me if I were even to get anything below an A as my grade. So this is another aspect where I can relate.

Overall, it's nice to read novels full of fluff but me finding this novel isn't that bad of a read either since it gives me a relatable experience to the MC's situation. <<less

I've never really read this but at least I've read the one about the character Mo Yichen. Her story's so sad. Her girlfriend's, I don't know, sort of didn't open her heart completely to her. How to say this, she (Xiangyi (?)) used to have an ex (her first love) who has the same name/nick name "Chenchen" and looks similar to her. The moment Mo Yichen saw the ex, it was like she really was a stand-in for another person. But when she showed her the recordings of Xiangyi (really not sure about the name, I'm sorry) talking to a girl named "Chenchen, " the ex said that she wasn't the "Chenchen" that Xiangyi was talking to. In the end, Xiangyi died in an accident and Mo Yichen never found if Xiangyi really loved her or not. Imagine, if the person she was talking to was neither Yichen or the ex, then who was that person? I think the author should have at least made it clear or give Yichen a proper ending. As for the main pair, they were fine.

Well written, well paced, and a good story overall. Halfway through it hits you pretty hard in the gut, and there are a few other hits that it gives too, but it's a believable story that feels grounded and bittersweet. Unlike most yuri stories where everything works out smoothly without a lot of drama or ups and downs, this actually feels real; not everyone gets a happy ending, there are setbacks and 'life' getting in the way at times, and the leads don't always succeed at everything or get along... more>> perfectly at all times. The leads do get a good happy ending, but they really had to work for it. If you're looking for a super fluffy feel-good story, this isn't it, but if you're looking with a well written story with ups and downs that feels grounded and real, this is exactly what you want. <<less

It’s pretty good from what I’ve read so far, and I’d rate it 4 or 5 stars normally (after I finished it) but what I’ve read so far, Mo Yichen’s character just throws me tf off and I can’t come to like the novel as much cuz of it. Like I have no idea what’s going on, but I do know she’s in an abusive relationship and I don’t like that, and the fact that I think she might also like the MC just makes it even worse. With how... more>> sad everything is for her if she likes MC and her relationship with Xiang yi, it makes me dislike the novel a bit and not want to finish it. (Even more so cuz I read a spoiler review that mentions even more) <<less
