This was an entertaining sequel, that while probably unnecessary, still had some great relationship moments. It would have been four stars if not for one major caveat that made me deduct a star-the constant jokes regarding a character with darker skin, to the extent of offering to buy him skin bleaching creams! It was very uncomfortable to read, and while it's not the focus of the story, it happens enough to sour the reading experience.
Which truly is unfortunate because this had so much of the same unhinged romance and morbid comedy that I liked in volume one. In this one, we even meet a side couple, who through the protagonist's point of view, comes off as even more toxic than our main couple. The author wisely includes the side couple's story at the end, and it's actually pretty great. Tragic, but with a happy ending that was even harder earned than the main couples'.
It's unfortunate that I'm left unsure whether to recommend this. I enjoyed it, but the racist elements shouldn't be overlooked. So if you do read this, at least be aware of it.

My 3 stars here has nothing to do with problematic couples 1 and 2 (love them both) and everything to do with the colorism in this book. Like. So much colorism.
There's a character named Bai Yu who's described as having darker skin and there are CONSTANT comments when he's on-page about how he's ugly or hard to see at night or how he should do skin lightening treatment (!?!). These things are said by the protagonists to his face. Just completely pointless and cruel discriminitory shit that has no place in any story that isn't going to address it in any meaningful way.
Just very disappointing to see in a story I otherwise enjoyed

Colorist Humor, DNF
I’m disappointed to have to write this, as I truly enjoyed the first volume of the series. However, the discriminatory humor in this volume is something that can’t be ignored. (Even describing what is in the book gets upsetting, so be warned.) As a summary, this volume introduces Bai Yu, an ethnically Chinese individual with skin so dark it is described as “black.” The color of Bai Yu’s skin is repeatedly picked on, not just as a single thoughtless comment, but repeatedly throughout the book. Furthermore, Bai Yu is portrayed as a cowardly and rather dim-witted individual.
For context, lightly pigmented skin is highly valued in many Asian countries. This stems from the historical association between light colored skin and wealth, as nobles were able to protect their skin from the sun and tanning. The difference in culture helps explain why something like this was considered more acceptable in China, where it was originally published. Still, the cultural difference does not change the fact that this is colorism, or make the end result any less destructive or offensive. Like many others, Danmei is my escape, and I have no interest in my escape having this kind of bigotry.

well, i'm glad that's over. all i can say is that the only thing this volume has going for it is the art (especially from ch. 56 and ch. 89). in all honesty, this volume really didn't need to exist. if the author would have just stopped writing after volume 1, it would have been more impactful, and quite frankly, you gain absolutely nothing story-wise from volume 2, other than some new characters being introduced. but since i wasted a lot of my time finishing this series (barely, since i did skim quite a bit of it towards the end) i have nothing nice to say other than that the illustrations inside the book are really beautiful.

Not as page-turny as the first one, but still fun. Loved the side story for the minor character. Had me more invested than the main couple TBH.
