墨宝非宝

This is the 3rd story in the series... and it's definitely more romance than the other two.

I enjoyed approximately half of the book when we had more of the story.... until the first time she has beer and it devolves to.... "eating tofu" (except, maybe, in reverse).

Tong Nian is pretty much a Mary Sue - she's gorgeous, has a great body, is an online singer with thousands of fans, and is a genius who graduated university with a double major in bio-engineering and electric+electronic engineering by the time she's about 18/19. (At the beginning of the story, she's 19 and at the beginning of her Master's program.) I think her family is actually also supposedly well-to-do. Her only flaw is that she has a low EQ (and seems rather naive - which is often viewed positively as "innocent").

Gun is the rich, handsome, talented, but terse head of an esports club, who is actually a fairly established character from previous books. He's also 10 years older.

The book has some cute moments and its cringe-y moments. I had fun with the sudden revelations to other people regarding identities and relationships.... Maybe I wish we got to see more of her actually embodying all the talents she's supposed to have; instead, she mostly exists to rattle and entice him.

I do actually really like Gun, and wish him all the happiness... but I also wish that the novel had shown that there was more to her than pining after him.

I would also normally just not think about things and enjoy the fluff for this genre... but I feel as if the novel went a little overboard with (1) giving all her all these qualities that were not really used; and (2) eating tofu.… (altro)
