死掉的女儿（The Dead Daughter）

A prequel to [i][b]When the Wind Knocks[/b][/i], this work recontextualizes the protagonist’s "eerie" behavior from the original by delving into their tragic backstory—delivering a sharp critique of ​structural violence​ and ​body politics. However, the choice to frame the narrative through ​two male confessional monologues​ feels oddly distanced from the lived female trauma it seeks to expose. [b]Speaking of which, don’t miss the main work:[/b] [i][b]When the Wind Knocks[/b] (Wicky Yu’s debut)[/i] is a ​tight, 1-hour mystery/revenge VN​ that weaponizes raw psychological realism to dissect ​institutional complicity in silence.

It's a short story and I'm not sure I understood everything that went on but what I did understand is that it's very emotional. It's a bit difficult to get into at first (I did not fully understand what was going on until a few paragraphs in) but once you do it all fairly makes sense. It's a very dramatic story but I can see the parallel to real life cases of premature birth and children who grow up with development issues and the discrimination they face or rather, the silent judgement. Humans are afraid of the unkown, of what they do not understand and I think this short story portrays that (and discrimination against women) very well. (also yes, I'm learning Chinese but I did need a translator for most paragraphs to make sure I didn't miss any important parts)

It's just a very short story to read, with neither selection nor gameplay. However, it's an Asian story that you will not regret to read.
