Description
Jiang Siyi experienced two major turning points in her life during high school. First, after being kicked out of her home, the older sister next door took her in. Shen Shiwu, a business tycoon, was busy with work, but still patiently helped her with homework and attended parent-teacher meetings. One day, Jiang Siyi was sitting in the office engrossed in solving a problem when an employee came to deliver a report without looking carefully: “Boss, please review this.” Little Jiang: QAQ *** Second… she fell in love with this older sister. A young girl’s heart is always sensitive. In order to impress Shen Shiwu, Jiang Siyi, a problematic student, changed her usual image. Not only did she study hard, but she also never violated a single school rule again. Until— “Sister Jiang Siyi, we meet again. This time it’s for fighting…” Listening to the class teacher’s sigh, Jiang Siyi couldn’t help but bury her head lower. “I understand, teacher. I’ll discipline her when we get back.” This was the first time the other party said they would discipline her. Little Jiang was looking forward to it. As a result, that night, she was held down on the desk, unable to move. “Our little Siyi is really amazing, even good at fighting.” Don’t, don’t get so close. Jiang Siyi wanted to dodge, but the other party directly clasped her waist. Her chin was lifted, forcing her to look into the other person’s eyes. “It seems it’s time for a lesson.” *** Four years after their breakup and reunited again, Shen Shiwu abandoned her usual gentle demeanor and immediately took Jiang Siyi back home. Her words of hatred rang in her ears, but it wasn’t difficult to hear the remnants of love. Looking at the trembling woman beneath her, she lamented that the other party’s acting skills were still as poor as ever. Clearly a rabbit, why pretend to be a butterfly? Shen Shiwu gritted her teeth: “Naughty children should be punished.”

My Thoughts on After Breaking Up, the Gentle Older Sister Went Crazy
"After Breaking Up, the Gentle Older Sister Went Crazy" certainly grabbed my attention with its intriguing title and genre mix. Diving in, I found myself experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions, and I can see why it's garnered such diverse opinions.
First Impressions
The initial chapters are undeniably compelling. The setup, focusing on the dynamic between the two female leads, Siyi and Shen Shiwu, is well-executed. The author does a great job setting the stage for what promises to be a complex relationship, tinged with both sweetness and a hint of something darker lurking beneath the surface. I was immediately drawn into Siyi's world, feeling her longing for stability and connection.
What Works Well
I appreciated the novel's relatively concise length; it doesn't overstay its welcome, which is a definite plus in a genre often plagued by excessive word counts. Many readers praised the author's depiction of mental illness and its impact on daily life, which added a layer of depth and realism to the narrative. The evolution of the relationship, starting from a big sister/little sister dynamic and morphing into something more, was also well-paced and engaging. It's clear the author has a knack for creating believable characters and exploring their vulnerabilities.
Areas of Concern
However, I have to admit that the relationship between Siyi and Shen Shiwu is where things get a bit… tricky. The "gentle older sister" facade eventually crumbles, revealing a character who can be manipulative and controlling. The power imbalance within the relationship became increasingly apparent, and at times, I found it uncomfortable to witness. While some might find the toxicity intriguing, it definitely gave me pause. I also felt the time skip didn't fully address the maturity gap between the characters, leaving Siyi feeling somewhat stagnant despite the passage of time.

Final Verdict
"After Breaking Up, the Gentle Older Sister Went Crazy" is a story that elicits strong reactions, and for good reason. It's a compelling read with well-developed characters and a fascinating exploration of mental illness. However, the toxic nature of the central relationship is a significant factor to consider. If you're intrigued by morally grey characters and don't mind a dose of uncomfortable power dynamics, this might be a novel you'll enjoy. Just be prepared for a rollercoaster ride and remember to approach it with a critical eye. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
