Can you recommend some 'wasted time novel'?

I remember a time when I had a whole weekend to work on a project. I went online to do some research, but then I got sidetracked by social media. I spent hours scrolling through different feeds, looking at pictures and reading posts. When the weekend was over, I had hardly made any progress on my project. It was such a waste of valuable time.

Well, it could also be a novel that is designed to be a form of escapism where the characters are in a state of 'wasting time' in a carefree way. For example, it might be set in a beach town where people laze around, have no real goals, and just enjoy the simple pleasures of life. The story could revolve around their interactions and the small events that occur during this 'wasted time' period.

Through hard work and perseverance, they finally obtained happiness and dignity.

At the same time, it also reflects the various problems and contradictions of the society at that time.

Well, 'Wuthering Heights' might be a novel in a similar vein. It has a very intense and somewhat 'wasted' love, full of passion and pain. 'The Great Gatsby' also has elements of unrequited and wasted love, with the protagonist's love for Daisy being ultimately fruitless. Additionally, 'Anna Karenina' portrays love in a complex and often tragic way.

😋I recommend 'A Glimpse of Rivers and Mountains' to you. This book was an ancient romance novel. It described the fate of a young master of Jiangnan who was changed by a rebellion, the joys and sorrows of being in a foreign country, and the choice of a Ning Dynasty princess facing a grassland tribe. There were many real and affectionate characters in the story, and the plot was complicated and touching. It was worth reading. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗

I recommend Waiting for You in a Spring Breeze and Dimensional Expeditionary Force. They are both modern romance novels or light novels with the theme of wasting time. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗

One common element is distraction. Like in my story of getting distracted by a TV show while planning to study. Another is lack of self - discipline. If you can't stick to your original plan, time can easily be wasted. Also, unexpected things that draw our attention, such as an old photo album when you're supposed to be doing something else.

😋I recommend the following urban novels to you: 1. There's a Bar in Houhai: The story of Shen Fang's search for his lost family and love after his rebirth. It was a daily novel in Chinese entertainment. 2. " Mr. President, Hot ": It was about the seventeen who received assassination missions but failed many times. He was taken in by Huo Yuyan and became his hostage. It developed into a favorite story. 3. " Entertainment: Opening Ceremony and National Goddess Official Announcement ": Zhang Xiao had transmigrated to a parallel world. There was a strict rating system for celebrities here. A year after becoming the boyfriend of the National Goddess, the contract he signed became… I hope you like my recommendation. If you want to know more about the novel, feel free to tell me.😗~
