Read Anytime - "The Crocodile Will Die in 100 Days"(?)

"You should be able to finish this book soon~", when he reached out to the bookshelf and was about to take it down and read it, he suddenly heard the busy store manager say so.

"Ha, but I'm really slow to read the book. The highest record is that the same book can be renewed 5 times, and each loan period is still 1 month", "Yes, this book is really "easy", keep reading Don't skip a line, read it within half an hour at most."

While chatting with each other, they picked up the copy from the shelf - "The Crocodile That Will Die in 100 Days" .

In fact, I was attracted by the cover at first - "Hey, why does this crocodile feel familiar, seems to have seen it somewhere?"; read the title of the book "The Crocodile That Will Die in 100 Days"? As far as preconceived ideas are concerned, is it the kind of content that inspires others by using "death" as the theme to say "life needs to be timely"?

Randomly flipping through the book, there are no long words in the book, but in a "four-frame comic"-like style, with drawings and simple "easy-to-understand" words, a visual representation of the protagonist Crocodile Jun and his friends in 100. The big things in life.

100 days in real life can be very long, but the 100 days in the book read very "short"; as short as 1 day that can be passed in almost three to five seconds.

When I liked the 6th day , Crocodile Jun, who had just finished reading the comic of "One Piece", put the comic book on his chest, and said to himself excitedly - "One Piece looks good, I don't know what the ending will be, I really want to hurry up. Click to read "; Just like every time you follow a drama, when the plot is about to enter the main event, the episode is over, and you have to wait another week to catch up with the next episode. During the waiting process, you can only make up all kinds of follow-ups by yourself. The plot may unfold.

When I liked the 61st day , my colleagues and friends asked Crocodile - "Do you have anything you want to do?" , Crocodile replied - "Well... nothing special", "Really? If you let yourself Election, what do you want to do?" - Colleagues and friends continued to ask, "Maybe it's an e-sports player", "Obviously there is!! Isn't it ~" .

Seeing this, I can't help but ask myself "Is there anything I want to do?" At first, I couldn't say what specific things I wanted to do, but if I changed it to the question of the colleague and friend in the book - "If there is a choice" , then start to imagine, if you don't have to worry about the basic conditions needed for survival, you should think..., if you don't have to worry too much, you should think...; maybe there are many things you want to do, just Because of practical considerations, or self-imposed limitations, convince yourself to ignore first - "Well...nothing special" .

There are other seemingly ordinary days, but reading it makes people smile, full of joys, sorrows and surprises, except...

When I first read this book, I thought I was participating in the life of the Crocodile from the perspective of the "third person". At first glance, I thought it was a daily record book of "running account", but after careful reading, I found that (with the slightly raised corner of the mouth) ), in the running account of a certain day, there may be a similar life trajectory to himself, "Hey, isn't this my daily life?". As the author said, at the end of the reading, in fact, what the reader sees is himself .

"For readers of the traditional Chinese version, if this story can be an opportunity for you to rethink your life, it will be a beautiful encounter for me" - Kikuchi Yuuki

Ps: The store manager said "within half an hour" to complete the reading and did not achieve it, only a short 100 days, but reading it makes people cherish every day.
