It's immensely funny how the other gods know that Xie Lian hangs out with Hua Cheng and just don't really care. They'll show up to find him visiting and they might make a comment here or there, but they basically just accept it without question. It really does pay to be the village weirdo, huh?

I'll mark as "read" later; again, I will be posting a single review for TGCF once I complete it

I said something similar with MDZS, but how these books run up and down the genre and tone spectrums screaming at the top of their lungs while story immersion, consistency, and tension will never not awe me. It works so well, and it's the kind of skill that makes me go "GIMME" with my greedy little author hands

Yes, I know I haven't posted reviews or even "reads" for either of the first two volumes. I am so behind on reviews, but I swear I'll get to it

Finishing this today??? Maybe??? I probably should at least try because I have another book due in a few days and a manuscript I'd like to start beta reading next week

I am so fascinated about the little worldbuilding tidbits scattered throughout this mystery. Worlds just feel so much more organic when characters practically ignore their own circumstances until something breaks what they consider the norm; it makes it feel far more real and fleshed out even if the information given is actually less

I'm starting to think I just like when fantasy stories are also mysteries. Also, this is the best eccentric detective and sidekick with secrets dynamic I've seen for a while. And this author understands the value of not having the eccentric detective be the POV character

hey guys, i'm hoping to be back more this weekend. i'm behind on updating reviews (by like... 15) and not reading much anyway due to ~fun stuff~ (sarcastic) but the last significant source of brain fog is tomorrow, so i should be a little more functional again. fingers crossed, at least 🤞😖

I don't know why I thought Inara was a teenager, but apparently she's not even that old. Literal child running around here

The formatting of the chapter images in this ebook is, regrettably, quite shit. They span across two pages and cover up a chunk of words. Enjoying the story so far, though

Oh thank god I finished this before it got returned to the library again. Solid start, it actually seems segmented at a really good place. However, since this "series" is technically a single novel, I will not be posting a full review (only commentary) or any rating until I complete all installments. I'd rather review them on the whole because that's how the story was written to be read

Xie Lian has already won me over as a POV character. This man's "I have decided I do not care and will simply smile placidly" attitude is fucking hilarious to me. Also we're jumping into the creepy borderline horror shit right away! Good!!!!

MXTX, beating me over the head in the prologue: "You can't control how others see you!!!! You can't control how they interpret your actions, how they tell your story!!!! That doesn't mean they're right!!!! You gotta stop fucking caring if you're ever going to do anything of value in your life!!!!"

Me, sobbing: "I know, I know, I've read MDZS twice!!!"

Anyone I think this theme is one of her Official Author Things™️

Aspec book club is up! I'll put out a poll with the Discord link later to make sure it reaches everyone who was interested (since Goodreads doesn't show all status updates on the dash), but this is quicker for the moment, since polls are my moral enemies. Link in the comments of this status.

Fun, unobtrusive. The story is what it says on the tin, perfectly enjoyable with a few pacing issues. Will probably end up being 4 stars. Once I get to this and the other reviews I've been procrastinating on. Oops

Aspec book club should be launching on Discord tomorrow! I'll send out a mass poll to my followers to ensure everyone who reported interest sees it, as well as making a General Update with the link, but feel free to let me know if you'd like the sign-up link sent to you directly!

It was okay. Might give the second book a chance when it comes out; the characters and concepts are interesting, plot progression is a little meh. Review later

Not gonna lie, I'm getting progressively more disappointed with this. Which is a shame, because I enjoy the set up and Remy's a solid POV character. It just feels like a lot of the plot points aren't allowed to just happen, they have to be overexplained and beaten to death in a way that somehow makes them feel less intuitive. Fingers crossed for a good ending, though

Not as far as I wanted to get, but eyes are starting to blur so... Time to try to sleep. Hopefully it goes better than last night

Probably shouldn't read while tired. Let's see how much backtracking I have to do when I pick this up again tomorrow

Breezing through this with relative ease and, yeah, I think mist if these characters are genre-aware. There are so many odd comments and asides where it seems like they're saying, "Of course this happened, we're in a vampire story!"

I don't know how to explain this, but the characters seem almost genre-aware in this. It's a little odd but not necessarily bad. We'll see if it keeps happening and how it holds up if it does

For a long time before looking more into this and checking it out a few weeks ago, I thought it was either modern fantasy or near future sci-fi/fantasy. Don't ask me why, because I don't know. I know plenty of people who have read it and spoken about it, I don't know why my brain filled in the blanks of the info they gave me like that
