Behind the very obvious references to Proust existentialism, there is something much more simple and relatable in this story, something that only someone who experienced these heart wrenching human experiences can express with so much delicateness and accuracy. This story transcends what humanity can tell in our history of civilization. It deserves a Pulitzer.

I was a bit skeptical about the style of writing but I admit it won me over. The repetition of words are not meant to add to the narrative they are there to speak to your emotions. Smart reading is not everyone's cup of tea but it will be very interesting if you know how to approach this text.

When I found this series, I thought: "It would be just another pointless romance title with no thoughts behind it." But I was proven wrong. I never read something so refreshing, so inspiring, so... dare I say... a blessing? The word flow, the memorable characters, the scenery (and so on) in this novel are a gift from heaven for me and for all who lost faith in wrong interpretations of romance. 10/10. X3

This is an incredibly well thought postmodern novel - a hidden gem on Webnovel. Prepare yourself to be immersed in a provoking word architecture, and let the author be your guide as you experience the beauty and horror of human nature.

Stupendous. Simply stupendous. Feels like reading the private diary of a celebrated courtesan, the names changed to render them unrecognizable -- for surely we would recognize them, and be amazed by the breadth of this woman's social circle. As it is, we are amazed by their athleticism.

Sometimes, beauty appears under the strangest forms. That's what I thought when I read this masterpiece. At first, one may be a bit disturbed by the uncanniness of the style; however, the more one read, the more one realize how carefully each word is chosen, how cleverly the embroidery of metaphors unfurls, and how precise and decided the ponctuation is.
The author of this beautiful piece, bold and experimental, fresh and unexpected, does not however despise their predecessors; many clever homages can be found hidden in the text. How not to think of Brigitte Bardot in Godard's Le Mépris when we discover the brillant and sensual Melena?
More than just an extraordinary piece of work, I see 'Attention' as the cornerstone of 21th century avantgarde literature.
