My Thoughts on Salad Days
"Salad Days" promised a sweet, lighthearted read, and for the most part, it delivered. I dove into this novel expecting a sugary romance with a dash of sports, and I found myself charmed by the characters and their interconnected lives. While it wasn't perfect, it offered a pleasant escape.
First Impressions
The premise immediately grabbed me: a ballet dancer and a boxer, childhood friends growing up together. It's a unique combination, and I was eager to see how the author would blend the elegance of ballet with the grit of boxing. The early chapters painted a picture of a supportive community, where everyone seemed to adore our protagonists. It was the kind of feel-good setup that made me want to root for them from the start.
What Works Well
The strength of "Salad Days" lies in its heartwarming portrayal of relationships. The familial bonds, the friendships, and of course, the central romance, all felt genuine and supportive. Many readers praised the sugary-sweet romance, and I have to agree. It's a story of pure love and mutual pining that's hard not to find endearing. The novel also excels at creating a comforting atmosphere. It's a low-stress read where everyone is kind and successful, which, while perhaps a bit unrealistic, made for a relaxing experience. The descriptions of the scenery and the comical dialogue added to the overall charm.
Areas of Concern
While the lack of conflict made for easy reading, it also contributed to a somewhat predictable plot. The main character, Jiang Shen, seemed to breeze through his dancing career without facing significant challenges. This lack of struggle, in my opinion, hindered his character development. Additionally, the pacing felt slow at times, and some side characters could have used more fleshed-out backstories.

Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "Salad Days" is a delightful web novel that I'd recommend to anyone looking for a heartwarming and low-stakes read. It's a story about dreams, friendship, and the sweetness of first love. If you're in the mood for a feel-good story that will leave you with a smile, "Salad Days" might just be the perfect choice.
