when you're on desktop, there's a popular section and the titles are either blue or yellow. do y'all know what it means?
I think yellow usually means it was recently updated? Not sure if its the same for that tho im on mobile

if it feels like the story is moving slowly, that's bc it is but it isn't stuck, it is still. I understand it can be frustrating or boring to be still but stillness is the point and demand of melancholy: the central theme of tears on a withered flower (clear indicator hello one of the most melancholic (albeit basic) titles of ever). the narrative focus of melancholy is introspection and self-reflection which require characters to sit w their thoughts, emotions, and history. that's why we get an entire chapter of feelings and monologues. the characters use them to pull the story along slowly as their emotional states evolve as opposed to action-driven stories where progress is quicker due to the plot pushing characters into conflict and resolution. in a melancholic work, the conflict is largely internal so the resolution is found not fought. okay I'm done w the 101 so I just wanna say I appreciate melancholy. it's something I tend to look for in stories (films n tv too not just lit), as an introvert who requires extended periods of alone time w my inner world in order to process the world and interact w it. and for anyone who often wonders what you'd find if you could just unscrew the top of another person's head to see inside their mind, I think (hope) you can enjoy such stories as much as I do.
