WHAT A ROLLERCOASTER

[Shannon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Reading this was an interesting experience. Objectively, barely anything happens for the majority of the story — or at least, things are happening, just at a snail’s pace. Yet the prose and the way it’s structured feels like such a whirlwind, twisting and turning as it coaxes out all of the characters’ deepest anxieties and revelations. I find the writing to be both unrefined and utterly engrossing at the same time, and it’s that juxtaposition that keeps me intrigued to keep reading. Plus, the characters are just so earnest in the way they’re presented, with Hinagiku’s story in particular being quite heart breaking. The different characters devotion to each other, while not very realistic and nuanced, is also refreshing. Sometimes it’s just nice to read a story about people being good to each other simply because they choose to.

This was like a breath of fresh air. There's just something so relaxing about people being kind, even though they've suffered so much, they're still able to retain that kindness and help others in need.

The author's note at the very end gave me so much comfort, Akatsuki-san, thank you for the warm blanket.

Mi è piaciuto più del primo perché c'è più azione e la storia mi è arrivata al cuore ancora di più.

these novels keep getting sadder and sadder but also all the characters are so freaking adorable 😭✋🏽

i found out that the author is the one who wrote Violet Evergarden AND ALL THIS SADNESS MAKES SENSE, only she can do this to us 🪦

The second volume begins explosively with a flashback to Hinagiku's mother's story. I must say, it struck me as a very moving opening, successfully conveying all the pain she's experienced since childhood. It also details the moment the two protagonists first met, adding further depth to the narrative. The action then picks up with the battle against the rebels within the Four Seasons Agency.

Personally, I found this volume even more engaging than the first: the action is predominant, but what I appreciated most was the introduction of all the agents and their bodyguards. Each character is well-developed, making it easy to grow fond of them. The events that unfold in the book are truly surprising and will leave you breathless—or at least that's how they did for me.

I can't wait to read the next volume.

Một câu chuyện cảm động, dễ thương nhưng cũng không kém phần kịch tính. Xuyên suốt 2 tập, tác giả đã đưa ra nhiều vấn đề về luân lý và tâm lý.

😭😭😭 Khóc sưng mắt khi đến phân đoạn mùa xuân, 🥰🥰🥰 Cảm nhận về tình thân của 2 chị em mùa hạ, 😍😍😍 Tình yêu trong sáng (hay tình cảm gắn bó?) đáng yêu của cặp sứ giả-hộ vệ mùa thu, 😂😂😂 Cười sảng khoái với hai thanh niên mùa đông độc miệng. Và rất nhiều những cung bậc cảm xúc khác nữa.

代行者は現人神とはいえ、あまりにも年齢と不相応な考え方がします。子供時代もそう、現時点になって「生まれ変わった子供」のような設定なのに、考え方が大人すぎで一体どっちなのってつい思ってしまいます。アクションは詰めている一冊です。けれど戦闘の切り替えとか、ひと組から別の組に替わるの描写が唐突になりがちです。「時が遡る」のようなフレーズだけで繋ぐのはちょっと、、、気持ちは軽くするためにツッコミを所々加わりましたが、なんか少し場違いとかそういうデバイスを頼り過ぎだと感じます。四季庁と政府(？)みたいな機関はテロリストに潜入されたとはいえ、うまく働いてないですが、そもそも各季節の里がテロリストを制御できるならなんで最初からそうやらないとか。逆にいえば、そこまで弱体化になったら、里で戦果を覆されるますか。
世界観があやふやなところがあります。残念ながら、お勧めできませんね、、、

It was painful, sad... Everything that you could feel in a book. This was darker than I thought it would. And the plot twist with Summer was unexpected. Cannot wait to read the next volumes. Overall it was a satisfying ending ❄🌸🌞🍂

อุสาห์ปูบทตัวร้ายมาอย่างดี พี่เล่นจบแบบนี้??? เสียดายมาก แล้วบทสุดท้ายอะแบ่งก็ได้นะ

Rindo and Nadeshiko stole the show here. I wish I liked Sakura as a character more.

yes, i still subjected myself into reading this despite not liking the first book. i was still hoping that the writing would improve because it's a complete waste of concept if it didn't. and it really didn't improve.

the writing is still a mess, and the dialogues were so corny. it honestly felt like the author wanted it to be animated so badly.
