You know the licensed danmei is good when you gotta stop yourself from going fuck it and start reading the unofficial fan-TL because you desperately need more.

This volume had me kicking my feet, then sobbing two seconds later. Jiang cheng truly deserves soo much better. Fuck his parents..all of them. I also really like how his character is developing. The fact that he feels comfortable enough in Gu Fei’s presence to be able to break down freely warms/breaks my heart. I truly love how much their relationship developed in this volume. The amount of kiss scenes in this surprised me, but it definitely made me fucking scream each time. 

Besides that, the plot was surprisingly very entertaining. I didn’t think I’d be so invested in the basketball games, but I was really cheering them on. Honestly, I can’t wait for the next volume, but I am a little worried for Gu fei..

The angst was angsting the way I needed it to for how volatile the main leads are. I’m excited to read more of their journey!

emotional funny sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character

Another good YA-novel. The auhor does an exceptional job describing how the today's teenagers talk and behave; it just feels very natural. The combination between angst, humour and romance feels well-balanced.  Skimmed through the basket ball games, though, as I found it difficult to visualize them - luckily they're only a minor part of the novel. 

By the way if you like the realistic setting and the dynamics between the main couple, I would recommend to check out the donghua 'Antidote' in Youtube. It's based on the work of the same author, but all the characters are adults instead of high-school students. 



I love this volume even more than the first one — there were a lot more shy-screaming-while-kicking-feet moments. One of my favourite scenes is when they ride the bike together with Gu Miao, and everything after that just makes me go dbsjkncls iykyk.

Honestly, I can’t believe how bold Jiang Cheng is. He’s awkward most of the time, but when he’s with Gu Fei? AAAAA. This volume also explores more of Gu Fei’s past, which is sad and traumatic. It hit hard.

Can’t wait for the next volume. I just hope everything will be okay.
