Mei is gifted in building amazing stories : the scenario is always perfectly built, the characters are lovely and their feelings are well described, there is a real plot and even intermediate chapters are lovely.

Some of their episodes made me laugh, some of them made me cry, some cliffhangers were really terrible : discovering a new episode is always a pleasure.

What I love is how some stories are intertwined, how some secondary characters in a story become the main characters in another one, how the POV of the different main characters can be exposed in a spin off, revealing a face we didn't see in the main story.

There is a deep sense of humanity in the stories that are written, and it is sometimes difficult not to identify yourself to some of the characters, to fall in love with them, to live with them even once the page is closed.

ShinMeiko's stories are something wonderful. Really, truly special.

In a time where people binge movies, tv shows and all other content, Mei's weekly serials allow you the time and space to really get to know the characters, invest in their relationships and dive into their lives. Every week, is a new addition to her books and every chapter builds on the last in a wonderful way that enriches the story more and more.

Plus, she builds in little easter eggs, such as hints for what's coming and crossovers between some of the worlds, and provides bonus chapters to experience the story from another character's perspective.

ShinMeiko is an exceptional writer. She's a master at pacing, never falls victim to classic tropes, always keeps her readers on their toes.

The best part of Mei's writing, is her characters. Mei's characters' journeys are never some simple, easily explainable conflict. They feel like real, fully fleshed out people and the circumstances and obstacles they face never feel transactional or reductive. It feels authentic, and a way to see how a person can live a beautifully imperfect and nuanced life.

You know them. You love spending time with them. You root for them as they go along through their life, experiencing love, loss, joy, tragedy and everything in between.

And isn't that the sign of beautiful, nuanced, imperfect, human, captivating and well-written characters?

Following Mei's stories is a pleasure. I feel privileged to be able to come along for the ride.

I cannot recommend it enough.

ShinMeiko's stories go beyond where books and movies usually end.

She tells about all the highs and lows of relationships and life in general, also after the happy ending. She doesn't shy away from difficult or controversial topics, but handles them with tact, and shows that life isn't so simple as 'they lived happily ever after', even if they do.

The stories have a perfect balance, alternating between funny, serious, cheesy, sad, dramatic, loving, the list is endless.

Having discovered ShinMeiko’s characters, stories and writing by chance and allowing myself to indulge in it by choice has been a wholesome experience for the past years.

The depths of exploration of human heart, mind and body in the stories takes the reader on journeys into their own.

Some stories I have binged breathlessly, some stories I have read leisurely one chapter at a time. Sometimes cliffhangers make me wish the week would go faster, eagerly waiting for the next update.

Sometimes an episode is so rich and intense I can go back to it over and over and discover new details in every read.

Shinmeiko’s universe had me laughing, chuckling, blushing, crying, pining, sympathizing, supporting.

The empathy in character development, the pace of story telling and the crisp writing style has me hooked to ShinMeiko’s universe.

In addition, it gave me inspiration for the best birthday present ever.
