Su Wan’s Secret Love

My Thoughts on Su Wan’s Secret Love

"Su Wan's Secret Love" promised a short and sweet dose of josei romance, and overall, it delivered a mostly enjoyable experience. It’s the kind of story you can easily pick up and finish in one sitting, perfect for a quick escape. However, like any short read, it has its strengths and weaknesses.

First Impressions

The initial hook of the story is definitely its relatability. The premise of a junior high crush and the courage (or perhaps naivety) to confess those feelings is something many of us can connect with. It immediately brought back a flood of my own high school memories, which made me eager to see how Su Wan's story would unfold.

What Works Well

The cuteness factor is definitely a major selling point. The story is undeniably fluffy and provides a heartwarming feeling. I appreciated the author's focus on the female protagonist, Su Wan, and her journey of navigating first love. The story is a quick read and is perfect for those who don't want to invest a lot of time. The bitter-sweet nature of the story adds a layer of depth that elevates it beyond pure fluff.

Areas of Concern

I did find the plot a little confusing in places. I think this is a consequence of the story's short length. The pacing felt rushed at times, and some plot points could have benefited from further development.

Final Verdict

Despite its minor flaws, "Su Wan's Secret Love" is a worthwhile read if you're looking for a short, cute, and relatable romance. It's not a groundbreaking masterpiece, but it's a charming little story that might just tug at your heartstrings and remind you of your own first love experiences. Just be prepared for a potentially frustrating resolution. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
