The Nth Day of Being Able to Read Minds

Tao Ran has a nemesis named Jiang Yu Heng. Excellent grades, dashingly handsome, well-mannered and president of the student council. The typical perfect child that parents tend to compare their own children to. He’s well-loved by everyone around them, except Tao Ran. On one random night, Tao Ran was bickering with his nemesis slash roommate like usual. Just a second ago, the atmosphere was so tense that Tao Ran stomped his feet in anger. But the next second, his nemesis went: ‘So cute. How is he still so cute even when he’s mad.’ Tao Ran: “?” Jiang Yu Heng looked unfazed, tilting his head to look at him, “What’s wrong?” Tao Ran thought he was hearing things. But ever since then, similar situations kept happening repeatedly. Tao Ran finally realized that it was real, and not his imagination —— he can read minds now. And somehow, it only worked on Jiang Yu Heng. He gradually noticed that their relationship wasn’t quite the same as what he thought, mutually hating every moment they crossed paths. Well, he did hate it, but that wasn’t the case for Jiang Yu Heng. As a result of being locked in the dorms, Tao Ran had to spend a long time with Jiang Yu Heng in the same room. Jiang Yu Heng: ‘His mouth looks so soft, I want to kiss it.’ Jiang Yu Heng: ‘His waist is so thin, I want to hold it.’ Jiang Yu Heng: ‘If only I can **** (censored) him for a whole night…’ Tao Ran, who felt like crying already: ‘I will never swear at another person ever again!! Why did you really turn out to be a pe*vert just because I’ve been cussing you as one——!’

## My Thoughts on The Nth Day of Being Able to Read Minds "The Nth Day of Being Able to Read Minds" promised a fluffy, comedic escape, and for the most part, it delivered. This short story follows an MC who suddenly gains the ability to read minds, specifically the mind of the ML, and how this newfound ability helps them overcome past misunderstandings and develop a relationship. It's a lighthearted take on the enemies-to-lovers trope set against the backdrop of the pandemic, which adds a unique and relatable layer. ### First Impressions I jumped into this novel expecting a quick and easy read, and that's exactly what I got. The premise is intriguing, and the initial chapters set the stage for a classic rom-com scenario. However, the pacing felt a bit off in the beginning, taking some time to really find its footing. ### What Works Well The core strength of this novel lies in its simplicity and sweetness. The ML's character really shines through his internal thoughts, revealing a caring and sincere side that the MC initially misinterprets. I found the concept of mind-reading as a catalyst for resolving misunderstandings quite clever. The humor is also well-placed, making it an enjoyable and feel-good read. The novel definitely evokes a sense of nostalgia for the pandemic era, which is both comforting and slightly surreal. ### Areas of Concern The main issue I encountered was the abrupt ending. Just as the relationship was beginning to blossom, the story concluded, leaving me wanting more. The MC's initial attitude also grated on me at times. While some may find his grumbling endearing, I found it a bit childish and off-putting in the early chapters. This may be a barrier for some readers, but the story does get better as the MC's character develops. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers have noted that the ML harbored feelings for the MC for six years, which adds a layer of depth to their relationship. However, the novel doesn't fully explore the implications of this unrequited love, leaving some feeling that the ending lacks sufficient resolution for the ML's long-term pining. ### Final Verdict Despite its shortcomings, "The Nth Day of Being Able to Read Minds" is a charming and enjoyable read. If you're looking for a short, fluffy novel with a touch of humor and a unique premise, this might be right up your alley. Just be prepared for a slightly rushed ending and a potentially grating MC in the beginning. Overall, I'd recommend it for a quick and lighthearted escape.
