My Thoughts on 3,650th Day of Secretly Loving the Crown Prince of Beijing’s Elite Circle

This title alone grabbed my attention! "3,650th Day of Secretly Loving the Crown Prince of Beijing’s Elite Circle" promises a hefty dose of drama, and from what I've gathered, it delivers... in its own unique way. I went into this one with high hopes for some intense unrequited love, and while it seems to have delivered on that front, the execution appears to be a bit divisive.

First Impressions

From the get-go, I was intrigued by the "wife-chasing crematorium" aspect. The idea of a love interest realizing their mistake only after the MC has moved on to greener pastures is always appealing. The short story format also piqued my interest; I love a story that knows how to make its point without dragging on unnecessarily.

What Works Well

The pacing seems to be a strong point. I’ve heard that the story manages to fit a lot into its short length without feeling rushed or overstaying its welcome. The revenge plot also seems to be a significant draw, particularly the fact that the MC doesn't simply forgive and forget. Instead, he seeks retribution and finds a new love, which is a refreshing twist on the typical trope. The ending also sounds realistic, the MC doesn't end up with anyone immediately after extricating themselves from a ten-year unrequited love.

Areas of Concern

Okay, here's where things get a little thorny. Apparently, the characters can be a bit... frustrating. One opinion I came across expressed a strong dislike for both the MC and the "scumbag" love interest, finding them both shallow and driven by questionable motivations. The logic behind the MC's actions, particularly his career choices and emotional responses, were also questioned. The lack of compelling romance, aside from the potential with the "interesting ML," was also a letdown.

Final Verdict

"3,650th Day of Secretly Loving the Crown Prince of Beijing’s Elite Circle" sounds like a mixed bag. While it offers an intriguing premise, a satisfying revenge plot, and a quick read, it also seems to suffer from potentially unlikeable characters and questionable logic. If you're looking for a short, angsty read with a focus on self-redemption and a slightly unconventional romance, this might be worth checking out. However, if you need your characters to be paragons of virtue and your plotlines to be airtight, you might want to proceed with caution.
