I never read any romance. Ever. Until now I suppose. I have sat through more than 300 minutes to binge on this from chapter 1 to Chapter 140 overnight until I finished the story, even though on the verge on fainting since I haven't had much sleep this past week attending my late classmate's wake. This is something very beautiful. The plot writing was done in a way where you would be able to anticipate certain things but at the same time still be surprised on how things unfold. Not the overly romantic and dramatic thpe of romance. This novel gives you it's share of wanting to jump off the cliff and having diabetes from how sweet and pure it really is. If I had to put a thing to relate to it, I think it would be dark chocolate. Its bitter. Yet its bitterness eventually makes you realize how precious and sweet it is. Its simple in terms of story. But this story requires a feat to pull off. Simple stories do not last long in the hearts and minds of people nowadays. Writing one that was tailored to a generation of readers without getting drowned in all the other so called romance is something worth of praise. The depth of flavor on how the author wrote it playes a big part of it all. Combined to her perseverance through the harsh times while she wrote this story, the lonelieness of the fledgelings, the anticipation for support that never came and the concept of witing for people without getting paid much. Mallory-san, this daoist pays his respects. You have written somehing completely without filler, in 500 words or so you forged a storytelling device and made it your own. You did not ruin characters and kept the consistency of their personas. You have made a world out of pen and ink and made it a gem in a society filled with people who do the same. You are awesome, Mallory-san.
