chapter 4 was over 90 pages, and for what reason!!!

had to hold my hand over my mouth to stop myself from bursting out laughing

this book series is killing me repetitively

so much is happening

barely had time or energy to read today, tried to finish this, and stopping like 40~ pages from the end feels like a crime but i’m TIREDDDD

stopping mid chapter is criminal behaviour, but unfortunately i have to go to work and this chapter is so freaking long

[redacted] WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU

i want to know what fun feels like again. please let me smile.

wei wuxian so far is a very fun character!! I just wish I was more focused to read more tonight!

they’re married, your honor!! (i’m delusional)

“I saw those things…their mouths were opening and closing — moving, they’re moving! They’re eating grass! They’re alive!” ….. ‘there were over a dozen faces tightly pressed together on the man’s left leg. Many of the mouths were stuffed with grass — chewing, gnawing, as if they were starving!’

horrible imagery, thank u

verrrry typical of xie lian for it to be his desperate need to help people that leads to his first banishment from heaven (or so it seems thus far)

hua cheng is not cool and collected when someone insults xie lian

[camera cuts to me, pretending to be shocked at events even though i’ve seen the donghua]

love that the author constantly “???” like, yeah! that’s a word!!!

i’m all about jedis saying “fuck you” to the jedi order and falling in love

“Sometimes, a person reaches a point in their life when it becomes absolutely essential to get the fuck out of the city” 👏

ya gorl remembered how to read 🙌

Okay so I decided to read this after watching the movie because people on TikTok seem to think the movie is terrible in comparison, but so far the book is literally a the script for the movie just with more inner monologue so I’m not really understanding the movie hate so far 🤷‍♀️

“Touching her did crazy things to his insides. Good crazy things that made him want to hold her hand.”

The way this book is so innocent compared to what I’ve been reading lately

this book is so much better than the first one, not that the first one was bad but this just shows how much detail could have gone into it 🤩
