rereading this and the twilight series bc I'm at my parents' house and went through my old books/ have nothing to read until i go to Barnes & Noble lmfao

the more i read the more it kills me ://// but i want to know how it ends i just know it's doomed

Ok there was definitely a het jump scare there for a bit and now I fee like can't trust anyone in this book.... pls just let patroclus and achilles get married and live in peace...😭😭😭

It's been so long since a book made me feel something in the first 6 chapters. I feel like most things I pick up take me a while to get invested but I am seated for this

why am i crying reading this already 333

Sorry but why are characters speaking standard Mandarin in the 19th century CANTON it bothers me so much 😭 I'm being petty i know but there's a whole intro about the historical accuracy of oxford but nothing about this lmfao

losing my shit over chapter 23's fight scene

“我他妈叫他出来唱曲!"
"I want him fucking come out here and sing a little song for my pleasure!"

omg I love drunk Xiao Chiye, he's so messy

I'm reading both CH and EN, and the EN version gets compressed for clarity a lot, which is fine, but sometimes a bit too much, eg 庶子 means specifically means "concubine-born" but it's translated as "son of common birth", and I think that distinction matters for how the court treats Shen Zechuan.

Also, Xiao Chiye is way nastier in the Chinese version lol i laughed when he said 关我屁事

I've only just started but I have high hopes for this

just finished part 1.....i have to say this book makes me question if English is my first language or not lmfao

it takes me 30 minutes to understand what's happening in 2 chapters and i find myself re-reading lines a lot bc i'm like "wtf does 'gurgles of mirth' mean"

Ok pro tip read the glossary before starting bc i had no idea what everything meant in thefirst few chapters but the dialogue is so fucking absurd and i laughed out loud several times

I love how Michael has a job apparently but he just spends all his time in his room using dildos and watching porn and not working and going outside occasionally to attend a party. Valid

Only on chapter 2 but screaming already... Fellas is it gay to bounce on your bro's d*ck to save his life

I usually can make it past at least 5 chapters in a book but I am struggling here

I love a good banter in dialogue but sometimes its just overdone and cringe the longer it goes on. Banter can still be funny if there are things left unsaid or as an internal thought idk

The LAST ONE idk how I feel about this

I'm soo late reading this lmao anyway kaz u a bad bitch baby

God dammit Hugh just knot him already

I literally do not know why the first five chapters is just nonstop talking but imma power thru this...🥴

"Shizun will never hit you again" yoooo the way I am crying over SQQ's character development in this 3rd book...... LBH deserves the world!!!
(also hoping they bang soon)

somehow SQQ gets his clothes torn off in binghe's dungeon AGAIN

when SQQ's clothes got ripped off in the torture scene????!?!! and when binghe first started possessively chasing him like "Shizun if you have orders why not give them to me" I'm gonna go insane by the end of this book
