Status Updates From The Fallen Merman

The translation is so fucking bad that it’s taking me out of this already extremely long story. Why the fuck have yall allowed Chrysanthemum Garden to essentially monopolize translating Chinese works?! They suck ASS. The whole fucking team!

How is this so good? It looks like a silly little funny fantasy but the world is unexpectedly complex and so is the story, anything even resembling a plot hole has just turned out to be some insane foreshadowing. Not to toot my own horn but I can really tell when a writer is skilled... and this one really is.

I’m sorry, Bai Chunian is HOW old…???!!! Talk about an age gap relationship, damn.

Ahhh they got married ❤️
(Ugh I’m finally in a reading mood but I have so many essays going grade first…:( )

Fade to black sex scenes but somehow we still get a detailed description of Rimbaud’s fishussy, 10/10 book

Nevermind, Rimaud isn’t unhinged. ERIS IS. Holy crap. I hope he will stick around and won’t be just an episodic villain, he is so crazy :D and as inhuman as it gets… curious to see that objects can become sentient experimental subjects too.

“Omg this is the first time an adult has been kidnapped and turned into an experimental subject!”
Meanwhile Rimbaud: 🧍‍♂️

Hm I should read the prequel. I don’t care much about the bunny man (idk I just don’t care for bunnies) but Lu Shangjin is interesting

Rimbaud: “what do you want?”
Bai Chunian: “I want half the people in the world killed” 😤
R: “ok I’ll do it tomorrow bby ❤️”
B: “wait lol I’m joking don’t actually do that”
R: ☹️
B: “you are so cute”
R: 🙂
B: “and violent😘”
R: ☺️

(I LOVE THEM)

The way this novel balances light moments with serious situations needs to be studied. Usually I dislike major tonal shifts between chapters or even scenes but here it just WORKS. Major angsty flashback, MC completely breaking down, action scene, cute and caring moment, funny flirty dialogue, another action scene… and it just flows so well. (Btw are we ever going to address how Rimbaud just ate a bunch of people?)

“I really thought I had a good temper before teaching students.”

As a fellow teacher, I felt that 😂

Oh wow I thought mature Rimbaud is going to be a handful and here he is, already threatening to fuck two people to get them to back away from his lover. Any expectations I had have been already surpassed, he is unhinged.

““What should I do? I have always been in command; it has always been someone else asking me what to do, so now, where do I belong? Where should I go?”

Poor little baby 😭 how did this get so serious all of a sudden? 💔

I’m still reading this! This has been dedicated as my mini-reader novel to read on the go because it’s so easy to follow

Rimbaud is so cute omg 🥹

This is a story about basically Poseidon and an overgrown cat and I'm having so much fun with it

My updates seem so pathetically small but this is just SO LONG! I read 12 chapters today! Not my fault that’s only 2% 😭

“Pilgrims didn’t necessarily need to kneel at every step of the stairs if they want to get close to the god. They could also use the golden bells and red ropes used for praying to tie the god’s neck and drag him down to the human world.”

Bai Chunian is channeling his inner Hua Cheng

“Turns out you’re really just a small manta ray. Flat and cute.”🥰

I’m still not sure if women exist in this world since every mother that was mentioned or appeared so far has turned out to be a male omega. Surely there must be ladies around as well? Don’t tell me everyone in this universe is a guy. Omegaverse is confusing 😭 (this is my first ABO book…)

Rimbaud saying “goon” (“leave” in merfolk language) just kills me every time, I am indeed terminally online…
