Reading the website in hopes of rekindling my fondness for this series. Its crazy how cool/funny/witty this series is when its presented to me in tumblr-style shitpost formatting and Studio Trigger-style art. Xiran my love are you sure a written narrative is the best choice for this series I think you'd write a banger graphic novel/comic/manga script. Preferably with 30% fewer communism monologues.

This book resisted my reading it so much that it caused me to reread homestuck instead. 8000+ pages of self-indulgent 4chan-bro chronically-online Superwholock nonsense was more appealing than this. Babygirl what happened.

I miss Shimin.

Why is the word “bogus” in this book. Ill-fitting in both a historical etymology way (18th century American-English slang w/potential French or Hausa roots) AND modern vernacular way. Like you can do whatever you want forever but I just feel this specific setting allows for way more interesting language usage AND it completely took me out of an otherwise interesting conversation. What if Yizhi said “Sigma”.

Ill-fitting Tiktok speeches aside, still having a good time so far! Though I miss when Zetian had the impulse control of a furious Sonic the Hedgehog, she made the narrative way stronger when she was off her rocker on revenge cocaine.
