chcz's manga / #Writer(5)

One of my favorites! I love the premise of reconnecting with a best friend who disappeared. The uke is kinda a clumsy mess with bad luck, but. I love that the acknowledges it and doesn’t want to be dependent...but at when he finally does begin to do that (as a car salesman), he runs into the person he was always the most dependent on. There is an interesting tension where both of they want to be together (in at least a platonic soulmate capacity), but also think they are better apart.

131 - OMG 10/10 The plot twist! This story got so meta, I’m kinda confused. MC is allegedly a character in Yueman Jin’s book. But somehow got into the other novel, which was a story about Empress Dowager becoming first female empress. But she entered with ability to write- making her a creator. Once she started creating, her world separated and she became her own Creator, so YMJ is trying to remove her and regain control, but he can’t. She returns to her world, but he deletes her, making everyone forget her.He replaced her with a character in another book who is constantly failing to die. But once MC dies, she will be removed from the story. She took precautions of keeping emperor’s dowry somehow, and reminding ML to not forget her.

I’m pretty sure the bother got Stockholm syndrome after getting kidnapped by the younger bro (after the ML ran away for years). but the story is surprising not dark. It doesn’t acknowledge how messed up the ending is- though we can clearly see how terrified the older bro is at being found.
