Yi Chui Wu Yue Tiao Man Ji
// Based on a Game, which also got donghua and live-action adaptations (although I didn't watched them yet) // ️ Somehow love this!! At first I thought it seemed like random episodic stuff only, so I wasn't sure about this...but, all I know is that, as soon as I started reading, I was really taken in by this precious story! I love the setting, the ambience, the beautiful art-work and scenes. And I like the characters. It really made me want to continue reading! This is definitely a little gem! Hope there will be further updates!
