The story seemed quite simple at first, but later it unravelled as a rather complex socio-psychological entangled roundabout of who's whose victim and bully. Mainly started reading for the Aizawa vibes, but stayed for the entertaining plot....more

I looked up in the net manga/hua/hwa similar to Here U Are because this time period I'm in the mood for the fluffiness and the socio-psycological struggles of closeted relationships. Of course, it adds up to the story when the protagonists have tragic and interesting backstories. This one gave me the right amount of fluffiness and emotional turmoil I was looking for. I hadn't read a manhua (ect) with a blind protagonist, and presenting at the same time some portion of the day in blind people's lives and daily hardships. I've only ever read Oliver Sach's book about the blind culture and I want to read more fiction and nonfiction books with this issue/thematic. I'm also noting here that I yesterday finished the first season of 'Lost in the Cloud', which doesn't exist here in Goodreads as a book anymore. Wonderful story, I can't wait to see what the next seasons will being us....more
Shen Qingqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Mxtx, your Xie Lian is showing.
That was certainly an interesting ride. The way of writing as well aShen Qingqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Mxtx, your Xie Lian is showing.
That was certainly an interesting ride. The way of writing as well as the translation seems to have a wonderful flow to my eyes, just like the other works of mxtx I've read. The almost poetical writing along with the comedic circumstances that have put Shen in the position he finds himself into, elevate this novel to a unique work of art.
Spoiler hints ahead
I was not expecting the plot twist of the main villain of the battle, as well as the revelation of who Yue actually was. I was also not expecting the...scene that played out between the protagonists at the critical point of the story. I'm certainly feeling emotionally disturbed at what Qingqiu went through. I'm not going to elaborate further.
I had heard before finishing this volume that this is where the story ends and the next volume is just extras, and now indeed I see that it is that way. The story ends as this book ends, or so it feels like. I've already pre-ordered the last volume (the special edition of course ...more
I could put this book under the business tag also, for all the tips Evelyn gives in diplomacy and deals.
This was a unique book, it was a much needed I could put this book under the business tag also, for all the tips Evelyn gives in diplomacy and deals.
This was a unique book, it was a much needed contemporary story that fit perfectly in what I needed to read in this era. The genuine aspects of the hidden queerness of 20th century characters represent real-life struggles of the lgbtq+ community. I had heard of this book many months ago, and I picked it up when I saw in a tiktok that listed books that are queer without appearing queer (in the title or cover).
Evelyn's character has a very strong presence. I listened to the audible audiobook and enjoyed the difference in the narrator's tone when impersonating Evelyn, the writer and the newspaper articles.
It is certainly a book I'd like to read again, next time in printed format, so that I can pick up every life lesson that can be extracted from the different characters in this story. It is one of these cases when you have so much to say for a book that end up saying nothing because it would take hours to put your thoughts in order. So I'm going to say that I loved the story since the beginning, it kept me interested till the very end, and enjoyed all the plot twists that took place. Maybe in a future reread I will do a more thorough review....more

Epically, poetically wonderfully written. As a greek person, I've had Odyssey and Iliad as lessons in junior high school and high school. This was a refreshing perspective on the story from Patroclus point of view, as it enlightened me with details I failed to see in the past, as well as details that make the story richer and more real and authentic.
I couldn't give anything less than five stars....more

It had the aesthetic that I was hoping for, and a thrilling story with characters that are memorable because of their behaviour and their design.
I'm glad that this story can also be read as a standalone, because I don't have the time to dive into a series at this moment. The twists and turns were very enjoyable, and some of my predictions were verified while some others weren't, which makes the story all the more fun to follow. It is one of these stories that when you finish reading them, you want to immediately start over, to observe them from a different perspective.
I read it on the golden 5th anniversary edition, but I can't find this choice on the site. A beautiful cover and a beautiful spine....more
