Don’t Chase me, It’s Fruitless Chapter 24 Discussion

I usually only review novels after I finished or dropped them, but I’m gonna make an exception for this one because Tao Youqing is so cute! How I wish I was in Yuan Churui’s place... *envy. jpg*

The story is generic and fluffy, minor dramas, but the real charm is the characters: Tao Youqing is sweet and funny, strong willed and with a very narcissistic personality, and all in all a rounded and compelling character. Yuan Churui is a powerful woman with iron fist and soft heart, and I love love love their interactions because their friendship and budding romance are just too wholesome and soft!

About Zhou Yurui and “Jiang” Yaling... the first is a bit*h who doesn’t value what she has and when she loses it starts to want it back, a typical scumbag that really only serves as stepping stone and wife crematorium (although said wife has already moved on to other families...). I have no sympathy for her and hope she gets her just karma. The latter is even worse: she’s a spoiled rotten and awful girl, who has no conscience or three views, and who is so jealous she couldn’t even let TYQ debut since TYQ would definitely be better than her. Petty and small-minded, she deserves to be punished and lose her foothold as a 15-something line in the entertainment industry. Seriously, she’s so petty she hates her younger brother and actively antagonizes him everywhere just because he was born and could possibly “steal” Jiang family’s love for her... WTF??? He’s so cute, he doesn’t deserve this.

Speaking about it, she’s not the real daughter of Jiang family. Tao Mu switched her daughter (“Jiang” Yaling) with the Jiang’s actual daughter, TYQ, and then mistreated Tao Youqing for her whole life, refusing to even look at her. It’s amazing already that TYQ even could grow as well as she did, all thanks to her uncle Tao, and the way the author writes her acceptance as her past and insistence towards uncle Tao is also too well written and realistic.

Speaking about secondary characters now, GUAN MEILIN! Oh my god she’s such a sweetie??? And has such a cute relationship with her gf???? I love love love her, oh my god, what wouldn’t I do to have a bestie such as Meilin, really she’s so cute and sweet even TYQ (who acknowledges herself as the most beautiful woman in the world) has a special category in her heart just so Meilin is the cutest (and she deserves it!!). I love to see such sweet friendship in GL, it’s so healing!!! (And Meilin’s gf is also a cutie, btw).

But let’s go back and speak more of TYQ now, shall we?

Something I like very much about her character is how real and compelling she is. She has a good grasp on her feelings and emotional intelligence, and also clearly divides between good-will and revenge. She is strong enough to sever her feelings completely for Zhou Yurui as soon as she decides to leave, and even how petty she can be when in vengeance for herself she is well written. She treats well those around her, and is funny and sweet, and just how her name implies, a little sun to warm people around her. She has perseverance, will, and hard work, and the way she works towards her dreams and skills is also good. Overall, this is a character you will definitely like, even when her flaws come through, because of just how brilliant she shines whenever she puts in the work.

Provisory five stars for now (because the ranking is too bad) and...
