صحنه به صحنه توییست و غافلگیری بود این جلد و بکاستوریهای دردناک قلب درد بیار. در نهایت اما یه پایان بندی تمیز با فصل آروم و طولانی اخر یهمون داد. که حقیقتا بعد از ریتم تند کل جلد لذت بخش بود و لبخند به لب میاورد. در نهایت هدف اصلی همه اتفاقات زجر کشیدن شخصیتها و من بود که به موفق ترین شکل ممکن عمل کرد. و در این لحظه دارم فکر میکنم عاح قلب شکستهام رو چطور درمان کنم ಥ_ಥ. خوشبختانه اکستراها بدون درد و رنج و استرس در انتظارمه. پ.ن. دارم وسوسه میشم جلد یک رو دوباره بخونم. ولی شاید بیشتر صبر کنم یهو همشو پشت هم بخونم.
I’m really conflicted about how to go about writing this review.
For starters, the first 150 chapters were brilliantly translated and so I have an idea about how masterfully the writer writes. Chapter 150 onwards I had to depend on a somewhat cleaned-up MTL and the essence of the story was completely lost. So, while I read it all the way till the end, I don’t quite know how to review this book.
I’ll divide it into two segments. The relationship and the story.
The relationship I will further divide into TXJxCWN and MRxCWN.
I was extremely uncomfortable with the non-con/dub-con between TXJ and CWN. The gratuitous descriptions of rape were unnecessary and oftentimes simply diversions. Did I forgive TXJ after reading 311 chapters and uncovering what led to his crazy behaviour? No.
I loved the relationship between Mo Ran and Chu Wanning. Mo Ran’s character development was masterfully done. The author wasn’t in a hurry to redeem him and I liked that. I grew to like the character over a period of time. Mo Ran isn’t an easy character to write. But the author has unraveled every side of him with unparalleled brilliance. The relationship between Mo Ran and Chu Wanning is heartbreakingly beautiful. It’s not a simple relationship of love. It involves two lifetimes of misunderstandings, sacrifices, pain, and gut-wrenching levels of angst that left me anxious to the point of tears.
Now, the plot.
The plot was interesting to a degree. At least up until the Rufeng Sect Wedding. After that, it got quite outlandish. I felt that the writer kept pulling rabbits out of her hat at every turn of the page in a quest to shock the reader. Most often than not, it didn’t hit the mark. Some plot twists/backstories were interesting. But a majority of them were simply unnecessary diversions and didn’t make any sense.
The whole Big Boss reveal was meh. And the reasons for ‘Big Bosses’ actions were even more outlandish. And there were innumerable plot holes.
I feel the need to say that once more chapters are translated, I might read chapter 150 onwards again. Because I feel a lot was lost in translation.
بعد از حدودا ۵ ماه، بلاخره ارها هم تموم شد :_) استعداد نویسنده توی نشون دادن غم شخصیتها، و درآوردن اشک خواننده، خیلی بالاست. یعنی... تمام داستان، جز چندتا چپتر وسطش، یهجور خاصی غمگینت میکنه، و این به حدی میرسید که وسطش واقعا کتاب رو میبستم و میرفتم چون نمیتونستم تحملش کنم. شخصیت پردازی خیلی قوی بود. موران واقعا یه آدم دیگه شد، و تونستم با تمام وجود این تغییر کردنش رو احساس کنم. و عشق... :_) هوم. عشقشون... تخیلیه. میدونم. همچین عشقی وجود نداره. میدونم. ولی بازم، خیلی زیباست که آدمها میتونن همچین عشقی رو داشته باشن. اگه بخوان. اگه فرد مناسبشون رو پیدا کنن. حتی اگه خیلی نایاب باشه، حتی اگه همه فکر کنن مال قصههاست. موران و واننینگ تا ابد توی قلبمن. داستان عشقشون هم همینطور.
O último volume foi uma das coisas mais bombásticas que li! Vou precisar de um tempo para me recuperar de tanto plot twist num volume só. De uma coisa tenho certeza, 2ha ficará no meu coração ♥
"The husky and his white cat shizun" es una historia que me ha ENCANTANDO. He adorado a los personajes, los mensajes, los plot twits. He chillado, he sufrido, he llorado, me he reido y, en definitiva, he disfrutado muchísimo. Hasta ESE final.
Para mí el final ha sido desastroso. Y no me refiero solo al último capítulo sino al último tercio de este último libro. En mi opinión el final se ha cargado todo lo que la historia nos había estado enseñado (o lo que yo creía que nos había estado enseñado) y su mensaje.
A la mitad el libro se me hizo un poco lento y hubo algunas cosillas que no me llegaron a gustar del todo pero que se podrían haber arreglado o que yo habría ignorado olímpicamente si no hubiera terminado de esa manera. Si la historia no hubiera degenerado de esa manera.
*¿SPOILER?*
* * * Ojo, habrá quien piense que el final es bonito y supongo que ignorando algunas cosas lo es. Técnicamente es feliz, no deja ninguna trama ni subtrama al aire y lo deja todo muy bien hilado. Es solo que, por más bien que intenten vendermelo, a mis ojos, se ha cargado lo que había llegado a amar tanto. A veces un final en esencia "feliz" no basta. * * *
*FIN DEL SPOILER*
No le pongo nota porque creo que el cierre de una historia es algo muy poderoso y este me ha dejado una sensación TAN amarga que casi empaña toda la novela y que ha hecho que una parte de mí quisiera ponerle un uno o un dos. No obstante, no sería justo.
Hasta esos capítulos finales la novela es de 10. Supongo que eso es lo que más me duele.
Boy, oh boy, where do I even begin. For the longest time I hesitated to read 2ha because it was chockablock full of trigger warnings, and the reasons for those TWs really came out in full force throughout the 3 books. It's a work that was rightfully born on the internet and read by hardened consumers of danmei content. This novel is definitely not for the faint-hearted; it has Suez Canal-blocking loads of toxicity. It requires a LOT of perseverance (and tissues for tears) to bear with the heartache and get through all the chapters. Admittedly, by Ch. 270+ I was pushing myself to reach the end because I was so emotionally wrung dry. But I reached the end, yay!
2ha is so many things. It starts off as Mo Ran's "revenge plot" but turns into a series of redemption arcs, not just for our main character, but for many other supporting characters. Throughout the 3 books, mysteries upon mysteries unravel in a flurry of shocking plot twists that were left undiscovered in Mo Ran's first life. It's a very tightly interwoven plot. Everything is foreshadowing.
Meatbun has crafted an intricate web of relationships with a wonderful array of interesting characters. Many are loveable, some hateful, and there're others we love to hate. A lesser writer would crumble under the weight of this huge cast of characters, but Meatbun manages the plot and its endless reveals with great finesse. And she does it all while writing like a DREAM.
I cannot emphasize more on how beautiful the descriptions are in every. single. chapter. The English translation (up till Ch. 160) was so wonderful in conveying her meaning, after which I had to continue on in the original Mandarin version. But even with my half-baked Mandarin knowledge, I am in awe at how Meatbun's writing is LITERAL POETRY. Take Mo Ran for example. For someone who thinks himself uneducated and uncouth, he has the most gentle and sensitive of descriptions courtesy of Meatbun. The way she writes FEELINGS in every character, be it main or supporting, feels so real.
There are so many quotes that will roam in my mind for eons to come... including 君为我掌伞,我未曾忘怀 and of course, 人生何必常相伴,遥以相思寄东风。
Throughout the novel, we are invited to question, how many shades of grey are there? (Not 50.) Even the most hateful of people have the most pitiful of pasts. We may not like some antagonists, heck, even our protagonist, but we certainly understand how and why they got there, even if we don't like it. So how can I even hate the final antagonist, when I think about their motivations? Actually, yes, I can. They suck.
2ha asks of its characters (and the reader): to what extent can we redeem ourselves from our "sins"? Are these sins even "redeemable"? Who gets to be the judge of you?
I finished Book 3 just as Mo Ran's birthday (9 April) ended so it feels like a fitting closure for me. I started off disliking and being angry at Mo Ran but ended up feeling so many emotions for him, and with him. Shock, confusion, pity, sadness, indignance, love. What a wonderful yet heartbreaking redemption arc. I like that he did not get let off easy from his horrendous mistakes, though the process involved a lot of tears on his end (and mine). And the dearest of all shizuns, Chu Wanning. He's experienced so much heartbreak across all three books, and yet he's still so strong... and does his best for his loved ones... They've walked such a long journey, over two lifetimes, over blood and bones, to hell and back.
May they live on in the Valhalla that is a happy ending.
Oh wow, what was this? Such a roller coaster of emotions! When you think you're finally gonna get to breathe after an intense part of the story, you're suddenly hit with yet another plot twist or another thing gone wrong that needs fixing. The good, heart-warming parts are intertwined with the bad, shivers-down-your-spine bits, and there are sooooo many trigger warnings to be aware of... Still, if you can take it, this will definitely send your brain (and heart) on quite the journey. What I liked most about the whole story wasn't so much a specific event or a character or something, it was this thing you find in the whole story (the three parts) about how you should be careful when judging things too fast or too harshly. Everyone's morals are questioned in this, and the story almost makes you go down certain paths and take someone's side, only to then find out they may have done some questionable things themselves. Overall, it was a loooong read, with many ups and downs, lots of screaming into my pillow, a few tears shed, but it left a good taste in my mouth in the end.
Третий том мне всю душу вытряс и сердечко разбил. Автор щедрой рукой отсыпала стекла, прям от всей души, и сверху стеклянной крошкой присыпала. Финальная глава и экстры стали бальзамом после всего случившегося пиздеца.

Advertencia a menos que quieran torturarse emocionalmente de la manera más horrible posible cayendo en el hoyo más profundo de la depresión con un eterno sufrimiento acompañado de un vacío infinito ✨NO lean este libro✨ en mi caso ya que, ni quería estabilidad emocional
Considero esta historia un trauma, leer el capitulo 279 es desbloquear un nuevo nivel de dolor supremo donde dudo que haya una salida. Creo que odie con mi vida a los "villanos" aunque en realidad lo que odio es que no lo pude hacer completamente, cuando empecé este libro dudaba aceptar la explicación que me pudieran dar de las actitudes horribles de algunos personajes pero lo hice.
Más que todo el foco principal es la redención, ningún personaje es totalmente bueno todos llegaron en un punto de sufrir y arrepentirse de sus actos. Creí que no me iba a doler lo que le pasara a Mo Ran porque estaba consciente que se lo merecía pero A CLOWN el capitulo que más llore fue a causa de el.
Para finalizar mentí, si hay un personaje completamente bueno y es Chu Wanning💕 nadie me va a cambiar el pensamiento de que es la persona más buena y pura que existe, sus comportamientos siempre se mostraron muy humanos y le justifico todas las acciones que se pueden considerar cuestionables, LA MITAD de los personajes tenían una obsesión bien enferma con el pero al final ninguno se preocupaba totalmente por su bienestar y me duele.
Shizun eres el mejor te mereces absolutamente todo lo bello de este mundo.
Shi mei no puedo decir que te odio eres tan despreciable, no olvido ni perdono
Ehhh... Mhhh... Pfff... No se como explicar el dolor que es este libro. Creo que es el libro, en lo que llevo de año, que más daño me ha hecho y con el que he estado a punto de llorar. Tiene tantos altibajos emocionales, cuando parece que todo va a estar bien de repente todo se derrumba. El arreglo que hacen luego es un poco meh pero bueno lo acepto con tal de un final feliz. Mo Ran/Taxian Jun se merecen esa tercera oportunidad. Viendo todo lo que han hecho para proteger a su Shizun al que siempre han tenido en su corazón, me ha roto el alma. Él no se merecía todo lo que le ha pasado y como lo han controlado. Lo que le hacen a Mo Ran de humillarlo, encerrarlo y no creerlo como cuando era un niño me ha hecho tener mucho dolor y luego no se les cae la cara de vergüenza cuando descubren la verdad. Mo Ran te mereces todo lo mejor, mi bebé. Chu WanNing es madera, no entiendo. Esta trama de la autora a sido un poco WTF, supongo que quería decirnos que él era puro y una buena persona pero vamos que eso ya lo sabíamos. En la escena de la casita con la muerte de Mo Ran y luego cuando tiene que parar a Taxian Juan yo estaba que me daba algo, es una persona muy fuerte para ver morir a su amado dos veces. Xue Meng me ha dado un poco de pena con la muerte de sus padres pero es un personaje que ha estado ahí muy extra, pensaba que le iban a dar más trama. Shi Mei te odio en cualquiera de tus versiones, todo lo que le haces a Mo Ran es indescriptible y te mereces lo peor. Me dejo mucha trama pero para mi se resume en esto. Ahora a intentar superar el dolor de este libro.
Duas palavras: dor e estupros. Porque tantas descrições de estupro? Eu honestamente não consigo achar um motivo lógico. Fomos avisados que teria gatilho de estupro, mas honestamente foi desconfortável a forma como a autora usou isso como um elemento essencial da história, tivemos pelo menos 3 descrições extensas de um estupro que foram absolutamente desnecessárias. O resto do livro foi só dor e dor. Tristeza demais, mas muito bem escrita, todos os pontos foram ligados sem deixar nenhum buraco no plot. Perfeitamente executado, ainda que tenha tido partes que eu simplesmente achei muito lentas. O vilão posso dizer que foi um dos melhores que eu já vi, não pela maldade ou algo assim, mas por ele ser tão caótico e bem construído que é crível como nenhum outro que eu já vi. Sai destruída.
