Status Updates From No Paths Are Bound: Part Two

“But even if he did, it wouldn’t make sense, because, y’know— Private Communication Arrays and all that.”

Chap21

The ghost king in question, at that moment, isn't haunting anyone. Technically, he's not even doing his day job.

Ch. 19 TW: “minor character death and kind of / sort of cannibalism, if you squint”

DUDE, WHAT.

Ugh, so good. I love He Xuan and his arc, even though it's very painful.

I cried over Zhao Beitong's story all over again. I love this woman so, so much.
And now I desperately need my babies to meet, but I know it's gonna be a while before that.

WHY ARE AUTHORS SO CRUEL😭😭😭😭😭
and i was just thinking about, how, in my review i was gonna say how happy i was that Hua Cheng has more friends & influences in his life than just Xie Lian. welp.

"Zhao Beitong's eyes widen sharply, then narrow once more, her arms crossing over her chest.

He's unsure of what to expect, but—

"I loved a prince, once," she mutters, eyes filled with emotions that the young man, in his broad experience of suffering, can't manage to fathom."


....why do I have the feeling that's she's referring to white no face-

picked this up again after months of reading little bits and pieces, and I can't remember the names of the author's ocs anymore ahahaha

Oh, okay, PHEW JESUS I LOVE THIS

WHY SO MUCH GRIEF FOR THESE NEW CHARACTERS?
You get to like them. And then they suffer. But it's so good......

The Black Water arc here is also so good! We learn a lot. And even though it's not canon, it's hard to remember that, cause everything fits so smoothly.

Goddammit! I need my boys to finally meet again. 😭

Chapter 19 (or fifth in this part) wrecked me.
How can a person retell a story, make up a whole new character, and write them in so beautifully? I'm in awe of the author.
Zhao Beitong, aka Tonglu Hudie, is a masterpiece.

Damn... This is beautiful and painful. I love this new character the author included, it makes the story so rich in parallels.

Hua Cheng's past! Amazing.
