Definitely my absolute favorite: favorite book and favorite author (Zhichu); i read it two times and still love it. Xqgg will always be my favorite character, and i hope he is doing well and living happily. Xia Xiqing is an artist with an angelic facade over a warped personality... and i love it so much. The relationship is so sweet, and the things that the characters say are so... thoughtful.. topnotch pickup lines? There are many references to science and astrology, and it's a bit extra but that's what i love about it. I will definitely go for a 3rd read. ... more>>

EDIT: started the 3rd read.. <<less

First bl novel i've ever read and will always have a special place in my heart. Couldn't stop reading this even though i had trouble... more>> sleeping at night; the games are so exciting.  <<less

I read this from a very good translation, and i love the whole thing so much. I got a bit restless during the middle because... more>> I just wanted to see what happens later, but it's such a well planned story overall and it gets you addicted to the characters and their backstories. Plottwists are so unexpected and i love xielian and huacheng's dynamic.  <<less

All the characters are portrayed so well, and you feel so close to every single one of them. It has a large focus on youth... more>> and school life, and the time skip at the end becomes bittersweet and full of memories from before... i cried at the end because their childhood is over, but it's still happy. i love this sm <<less

The description might seem boring at first sight, but this is one of the best out of my favorites. The characters all have their own... more>> stories, and I loved watching them all grow up. The two main characters both have complications that they are tied down to, and the title 撒野 (to run wild) picks up this idea so well. The relationship building is also very nice, the burn isn't slow and the plot revolves around how they escape their constraints and run towards a better life. The main couple is very cute.  <<less

I love the relationship dynamic.. it's so calming and adorable. The stories are all so detailed and alive!! every single one of them could be... more>> a separate story and i would totally read.  <<less

The brain you need to be able to read this.... There is so much thinking involved, but it's so worth it. There is also a... more>> chinese radio drama (? idk if that's what it's called) that is apparently very good. I'm so in love with this.  <<less

I love how the story plays out in this; there are memories from then and now that come together to paint a full picture of... more>> the character's feelings and sentiments. The relationship is very sweet imo.  <<less

Zhichu again!!! same author as Character Settings and BE Crazy Demon. The characters are so funny and enjoyable, and the idol group's path to success... more>> is so enjoyable.. It feels like you are growing with them and experiencing the same joy they feel and the same pain they go through. I'm so happy for all of them it feels like when their dreams come true my dreams come true too. Tingjue is real T___T <<less

This is such an adorable story. Everything is so grounded and natural

So addicting... the concept of memory loss and coming back together is such a big theme in this story and I love how it interacts... more>> with the plot. It is midly scary, and i sometimes i had trouble sleeping, but only because i get scared easily.  <<less

So much pain... so many tears.... but everything comes together at the end. Relationship is bitter with a tinge of sweetness, and it's still so... more>> adorable.  <<less

Trigger warning: there are mentions of s3/f h4rm and s//c1d3 near the beginning. Usually I don't like the possessive type of character, but this story makes... more>> it somehow sweet (relationship dynamic too). The main character is relatable in how he doesn't have  a direction in life, but he finds it!! Extremely cute  <<less

Main characters are so mf smart dang. They're so cute too..

Character growth is amazing in this. The story goes deep and is sentimental (I almost cried a few times), but it's not meant to be... more>> sad; just a story of growing up and finding love. Familial relationships becomes a significant part of the story near the second half, but the first half is focused on relationship-building. I feel like I learned a lot about life after reading this.. idk i enjoyed it a lot. also relationship dynamic !!! so adorable <<less

There are so many ups and downs in this story, and it may seem a bit extra but i personally really enjoyed it. I felt... more>> connected to the story and the characters and enjoyed watching them work through their problems. It can be heavy at some times but it's mostly lighthearted and the relationship dynamic is also so nice.  <<less

cute

A short story about forgiveness and moving along from the past. At first I really didn't like one of the main characters, but I think... more>> he gets better. <<less

Some angst in the beginning but it there are reasons that will be made known as the story progresses. The story is so emotional; it... more>> goes back and forth a few times between the past and the present (memories and stuff). So sweet  <<less

So cute

Same author as Character Settings, her novels are all so good. The story is largely focused on relationship building, and the part at the very... more>> end is very angsty. The way everything comes together is very sweet.  <<less
