I’m really hoping Rebecca puts a little hope in about academia and the world before the end because jeeezus

Ok three deus ex machina plot points are a bit much

Now I’m just determined to finish this

Ugh because it’s an ARC, the Chinese characters didn’t print properly :(

Okay yeah I also feel bad for Peter

“She should have been born a rock” 🪨

I am so grateful for my good wholesome teachers and mentors in college who were never like this.

Ohhhh this is such a painful chapter to read

I knew this was coming, but wow I’ve never seen it laid out quite like this. RF Kuang is so honest in her depiction of this weird messed up part of academia women have to face

I hate the miscommunication between characters to create conflict, but I guess that reaction means it’s doing what it’s supposed to?

I wonder if I am supposed to like the main character or not

I can’t tell if this book makes me want to go to grad school or avoid it at all costs

I feel like I’m learning a lot of RF Kuang’s values from this

This book makes me feel bad for grad students

This is not really a beach read lol

Oooo a translator’s notes section!

The anime is so accurate to this but the manga just has a few more fun conversation details and reactions

Familiar story but with added fun details

I think this book has an ingenious and extremely creative structure but oh my god the content is so disturbing

Gotta take deep breathes during this book

Some parts of this book are actually making my stomach upset, it’s tooo accurate to teenage girl behavior

The dialogue and voice of each character is so distinct. I really enjoy that in writing.

oh damn the high school group bullying is tooooo real

Jeeeezus. But to be honest ofc teenage girls act like this

Alrighty parallels
