I RARELY give out a full five stars. But this really deserved it. This has everything that I would ever look for in a romance. The characters are believable and distinct. While they have typical traits of female and male leads and the friendzoned guy bestie; they all still come alive. I cannot stress enough how difficult and uncommon it is to find such realistic romances like these. Yes, Raymond was interested at first sight, but he didn’t go gaga love at first sight completely at her. It was an attraction that turned to realistic frustration when seeing her with another guy, for feeling that their encounter was special to only have it come shattering down. Very very believable. Also, the same with Akira. Although I thought for a moment that her fleeing from Anthony and erasing him from her life without explanation after being so devoted to him seemed somewhat inconsistent in character, actually when you love someone so much and have strong pride (like not wanting to take the backdoor), then this extreme reaction is plausible. Lastly, another plus to this romance is the pacing. I absolutely hate it when they get in bed so quickly or even become girlfriend boyfriend so quickly. It’s just. Not. Realistic. I always ask, where is the period of crushing?! Where the uncertainty pricks painfully as you wonder if they feel the same or if this’ll work out?! I miss that ******* and build-up in a lot of romance stories on here... But your story delivered! Good, correct writing. Enough detail, emotion, and fluidity of settings. I didn’t realize that I read past my typical 20 chapter mark for reviewing longer stories, that’s how good it was. This is probably the only review where I felt like nothing needed to be changed. Really amazing, I’ve actually never been this uncritical as I usually have some suggestions after finding gaps, flaws, or inconsistencies. Then again, I haven’t read that far into the story either. Only to chapter 23, so my opinion could very well change. But as it stands, my expectations were reached for a romance story’s beginning, and you have yourself a firm reader. This is staying in the library!

Hehe it’s well deserved praise~ A realistic romance and crush to love premise seems like it shouldn’t be so hard to find, but it really is. We’ve all experienced at least a crush, so why are so many stories so unrealistically fast paced? Players are real, but come on, the majority of guys and easy girls aren’t like that in the real world... So yeah, as you saw, I was excited at finding a “real” romance. :3

This is one of the purest things I've read on WN. You don't see this level of realism often. Characters are very relatable and funny, not just sticking to one stereotype but proving themselves to be 3D, with each having their strengths and weaknesses. The family bonds between Akira, her brother, and Vickram is superb. I like how you made it so that it was diverse--usually, the MC in a novel like this is Chinese and everything is set in China. But not with this one(you know, just a typical trait of WN) Writing Quality Definitely very powerful when it comes to wrangling with emotions. You can feel the characters come alive. The flow is nice but personally, I don't like reading large blocks of texts. Then again, this is a opinion and I am in no position to ask an author to change their writing style. Some spelling/grammatical mistakes, but not to the point where a reader doesn't know what's going on. Overall, a much higher quality than what you usually find on WN. Updates From what I see, the updates are stable. People will say your chapters are a little short as most novels here are usually 1.2k-2k per chapter, but I say screw them and go what you think you should go. Story Development Nice pacing, not too fast yet not too slow. Already, we can see the structure of what seems to be the main conflict in the later chapters. Establishment of character goals/motives in roughly the first 25 chapters. Strong relationships between characters makes the story feel alive. Realistic reactions to scenarios and quite realistic ways of coping(I would list them but then this would have to be a spoiler), allows for more character development in the future chapters. Character Design I have nothing more to say than that your characters are rich(in both senses of the word) and have vibrant personalities. You used an old trope with your own unique twist on it. World Background Earth. Usage of companies(I haven't read enough into it for me to know anything about the companies other than one is a game start-up? I'm not great at business *sweats*) Either way, it's a 5.

Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess

Yue Xuexia is just an ordinary salted fish that rarely lives in her house, but suddenly one day she woke up, received a sign-in system, and thought she was dreaming. The sign-in system rewarded her with multiple things, including houses, money, cars, and talent scrolls, which led her to the life of the richest lady in the world. She could sign in once a day. One morning, with her eyes groggily and blurry, Xuexia was welcomed by a holographic screen only she could see. Yes, like the ones in the novels and manga. Ding! Xuexia waves her hand in the empty air and mumbles, "Noisy, I told you to turn off the damn alarm, whoever owns it!" When a robotic voice lingered near her ears saying, Signed in successfully. Congratulations to the host, and you've received [1 Million RMB in cash!] Xuexia, who is currently in need of great money, was in disbelief as she looked at the words one million and laughed. "Heh~ even in my dream, I was wishing to receive free money. What nonsense, let's go back to sleep. Yue Xuexia was about to close her eyes back to sleep when the old touch screen phone near her pillow vibrates. Bzzt~ Bzzzzzt~ "Urg~ who the hell is calling now?" complained Yue Xuexia in her half-asleep state. She picked up the phone only to see a message notification saying the following words: [Your bank card account ending with 5567 had received a deposit transfer from XXXX at 6:45 am. You had received a 1 million deposit and your current saving balance is 1,003,000.00 RMB (Autumn Field landbank)] Yue Xuaxia mumbled in disbelief and said, "Fucking hell! This is awesome." Who doesn’t like free things?~' This lady wants it too!!!
