Extra advice: The readers of Kill the Sun are crazy and if you write a review with less than 5 stars they will hammer you dislikes. Just a warning. I haven't read it yet but a friend did show me the reviews.
I'd say it's a decent read for a bedtime pick-me-up. It's a light and enjoyable story, primarily centered around the dating show mentioned in the title. However, there are a few plot inconsistencies and unexplained foreshadowing – possibly due to the translation or the author's oversight.
The male lead stands out as quite charming, not your typical aloof character, but rather a proud, charismatic individual according to the main character's description. Our protagonist is an independent fellow who values his own opinions and isn't afraid to speak his mind, especially when it comes to disliking someone.
I particularly enjoyed the supporting characters, Anran and Mingfei, who deserve all the happiness in the world. Overall, it's an entertaining read with likable characters.
The story is commendable, but personally, I find it slightly monotonous. Perhaps the face-slapping scenes aren't as engaging as those in other novels of its genre, and the pacing seems sluggish. However, there are unexpected twists throughout the narrative.
To provide context, Qi Nan was adopted by the Qi family when he was three, only to be abandoned due to financial constraints. He encounters the protagonist's mother and eventually, she decides to support him without adopting him legally. It's MC who initially suggests Qi Nan join the Qi family. They form strong bonds with both MC and MC's older brother.
However, at around 15 or 16, Qi Nan's biological mother requests his return, citing her illness. He leaves the Qi family to be with her.
There's more to the story: Qi Nan has a twin brother, Yan Anxu, and a half-brother, Yan Mingqian. Their stepfather faces a complex business issue, prompting the family to ask Qi Nan to return for help. Despite his guilt, Qi Nan hesitates. Yan Anxu, taking Qi Nan's identity, steps in. Instead of seeking assistance, he enters the entertainment industry with the aim of finding financial independence.
In the first chapter, the character we meet is actually Yan Anxu, not the real Qi Nan. The love interest's reality is gradually revealed as the story progresses.
Additionally, the protagonist suffers from amnesia due to his adoptive parents' treatment, and he discovers that his adoptive sister is also a victim of abuse. Surprisingly, she isn't their biological child either.
These plot developments add complexity and intrigue to an otherwise potentially dull storyline.
