The translation I got was a bit confusing but nothing terrible. I actually liked this story. It was sweet and easy to read. I kinda wanted to give 4 stars but truly the quality of the book itself was not there. It felt a bit like reading fanfiction. I think I will give it a 3.5⭐️
This is the first book I bought and read from the 4 Elements novel series. I was curious about the story and how it would eventually be adapted into a series.
I rated this book 2 stars, mainly because of the confusing translation. Many characters are given two different names. I understand this for the main characters, Din and Rose (Kasima and Thipapa), but the same issue appears with the cousins, such as Lom and Wayo, whose names are written in multiple ways while referring to the same person. This made the story difficult to follow. At times, a character would be mentioned, only for it to turn out to be someone else entirely. It felt like frequent typographical or translation errors, which significantly affected my reading experience.
I’ve read many Thai novels that have been adapted into series, so I admit I had high expectations for this one. This is also my first time reading a work by this author, and honestly, I’m not sure if I’ll continue with the rest of the novels. I’ll most likely just watch the series adaptation instead.
As for the story itself, Rose comes across as very childish and overly jealous. I think this is largely due to how her inner monologue is written, but as a result, her character lacks depth. Din’s character, unfortunately, also feels quite flat and uninteresting.
I’ve read fanfiction with stronger character development than this. While other Thai GL novels aren’t perfect either, I think my disappointment stems from having such high expectations for this series, which ultimately made the let-down feel much greater.
What a rollercoaster. This really had everything: action, adventure, love, betrayal, hijinks, and schemes. The translation could have been better and all of the nicknames were really confusing and hard to keep up with but I liked this as an introduction to the series and characters. I'm super excited to read about the rest of the series, namely Wayo and Apo's stories.
me gustó más de lo que creí Son muy bonitas ellas, aunque no voy a negar que las primas se robaron un poco de mi atención JAJKAJAKA
Pero vale, Din y Rose son muy lindas juntas y realmente la forma en la que se demuestran su amor es muy bella; si acaso, mi única queja es el perro de Wasu, ya está
Me encanta como las dos sólitas se van dando cuenta que se están enamorando pero no quieren aceptarlo. Estar leyendo e imaginandolo con las actrices que harán esta adaptación será muy cool esta serie.
se fosse pela experiência de leitura, seria 3 ⭐, mas como eu não sei ler tailandês, vou deixar 4 ⭐ e não culpar tanto a pessoa que traduziu, mas que me irritou, irritou
El primer libro de los 4 elementos, como surgió el amor entre Din y Rose fue tierno, probablemente esperaba más escenas románticas, pero fue lindo como se enamoraron.
