## My Thoughts on I Heard We’re Trending Again Alright, let's dive into "I Heard We’re Trending Again." This novel is definitely... something. It's a wild ride, and while it kept me entertained, it also left me scratching my head more than a few times. ### First Impressions Going in, I was intrigued by the premise: celebrities, debts, livestreaming, and a yuri romance. It sounded like a fun, modern story with plenty of potential for drama and laughs. And in some ways, it delivered. The initial setup with Si Meng trying to avoid her past while navigating the entertainment industry was promising. ### What Works Well The core idea of the story is genuinely interesting. The relationship between the MC and FL has potential, and the author clearly had a vision for a compelling plot. There are moments where the absurdity of the situations becomes genuinely funny, and I found myself chuckling at the sheer ridiculousness of it all. The author introduces some serious topics as well, but the story moves on from them quickly. ### Areas of Concern However, the execution is where things get a little messy. The pacing feels incredibly rushed. Plot points are introduced and then seemingly forgotten. The MC's debt, for example, feels like a major plot point early on, but it's barely mentioned later. This made me wonder if the author intended to resolve it at all. Character development also feels underdeveloped. Si Meng, in particular, comes across as almost too good to be true, with a laundry list of skills and talents that sometimes feel contradictory. The side characters often appear and disappear without much explanation, making it difficult to invest in them. The story bounces around from reality TV to cooking to stock speculation, making it hard to keep track of what's important. ### Final Verdict "I Heard We’re Trending Again" is a flawed but entertaining read. If you're looking for a lighthearted, absurd story with a yuri romance, it might be worth checking out. Just don't expect a deeply meaningful or meticulously plotted narrative. It's more like a rough draft of a potentially great story, with flashes of brilliance buried beneath a layer of rushed pacing and underdeveloped characters. I'd give it a cautious 3/5 stars.
