This was a very pleasant surprise for me. Actually I wasn't planning to read it now but it caught my attention randomly one day so I said why not.
It's very short (in danmei terms) but very enjoyable. I loved the pining in the beginning, Zhong Yan's personality caught me by surprise because I thought he'd be very cold, the kind to hide his emotions. But no, it was actually very obvious that he was affected by Adrian's attitude towards him.
Honestly, I can't blame either of them for what happened in the past and I really enjoyed their dynamic too. Zhong Yan is the type who'd burn down the world for his beloved and Adrian, although he actually has love for humanity, would still do anything for ZY.
Even the SF part didn't scare me off, I was actually hooked at the end. I was also scared that the finale would be ridiculous, as I saw in many books but although not perfect, it was definitely good. Oh, and it's a HE.
It's not a perfect 5⭐, more like a 4.50-4.75⭐ /5.
________ Re-read 25.02: Would I still give it 5*? possibly not, but I still had fun with it I was just done by the 70% mark
星際,人工智能統治 vs 人類自治,強強,星際巨兔(想想就覺得好可愛)。故事內的元素十分吸引,但對於艾德里安和鐘晏之間的感情描寫感覺不太夠,如果可以有更多在學時期的描寫,對於「蝶」的建議的拒絕,以及為甚麼這會對兩人的關係做成這麼大的破壞會比較深刻。感覺現在只是說明雙方政治取態和理念上的分別,但沒有太深入描寫情感上的張力和思想上的碰撞。
重遇之後感覺沒有太大掙扎就結婚並有美滿生活了,兩者之間的矛盾和隔膜好像突然就消失了(雖然前面都不是很能說明這矛盾為甚麼導致雙方 7 年沒有聯繫)。之後的戀愛感覺太rushed,而且反人工智能的過程好兒戲,未能將人工智能統治 vs 人類自治的矛盾發揮,有點浪費了設定。
