I think it is safe to say that Chinese BL novels are the best kind of BL novels. I'm not saying that Japanese BL novels aren't no good but I'm not saying they're the best either.
On the other hand, I have never read any Korean BL novel (Poor me *__*) I just don't know where to get and read them. So if you know a good one, please let me know!!
Anyway, back to the topic; True Star is one of the most excitingly beautiful BL novels I've read my whole life. It is funny, brilliant and captivating all at once. I was afraid I was going to hate it because it has an almost similar plot with Feng Yu Jiu Tian, but I was wrong. This may be plot-like but it has a different feel. This novel has a mysterious aura, and I am so ready for it.
The plot is catching and will leave you wanting for more; Too much cliff hanger though. The characters are different from each other, the writer did a great job on building up the personality of each characters. Which character suits which character. The only problem I have with this novel is each chapter has few words. Building a nice plot with a no more than a thousand words can be tricky, so far they are doing a good job, but some other chapters, I find half baked. It is also the reason why the translation is already at chapter 50 but it hasn't made a significant progress at all.
But all that aside, it is beautiful, and I highly recommend it.
I'm having a hard time trying to convince myself who I want to pair up with our Tang Feng. We have a huge selection of tachi surrounding him, but I'm still rooting for Charles.
