MazenEmad’s Reviews > Yumi and the Nightmare Painter > Status Update

That scenery of them flying with the foliage and flora dewed between them was really beautiful. And Nikiro’s “I only stare when I see smth too beautiful for my eyes to take in at once” …I’m stealing that thanks gang🫡

The machine works😗 and they took credit for the spirit too. Things NOT looking good Brodie.

There were some good developments this chapter tho. Noriko handled Liyun sexually tbh, and Yumi found the resolve and clarity to deal with the way she was groomed and how to move forward with her life.

I’m loving their relationship rn. THESE MFS ALSO (very slightly) FLIRTED FOR A SECOND! NICE!

Well fuck. These mfs can create hion lines, and they sprung from Yumi so that makes things a bit worrisome on the nature of their existence. And they also have a spirit tracker, which is another fucked up development.

DONT LET THEM CAPTURE MY GIRL 😭😭

i had to jot this down real quick

“Abuse is a more effective form of captivity than a cell will ever be”

BRANDON SANDERSON!!!!!!!! COOK BROTHER!

That was the best chapter of the book so far. What the fuck? Bro Yumi had been working her ass off, maintaining tradition and decorum, repressing her own desires, and it was all for nothing? Brother, that is heartbreaking. Good on Nikaro for taking this course of action and enabling the truth to come out, but oh my god Yumi 😞

Someone hug my girl 😭😭

Okay my hypothesis got built up a bit, then got shot down a bit. Either I’m right, or it really is the star that Kilahito looks at; Design kinda limited it to either one. That alien-seeking bus will let me know.

Once again, I love Yumi. She’s so animated and has a lot going on in her mind all the time. It’s really adorable tbh.

Time to see what they “agree on” Nikaro 🫡

Yumi can’t catch a break bro wtf 😭 SACRILEGE BRO!

About time Nikaro softened up and noticed just how bad her situation is and how her grooming shaped her mind to be a certain way. Finally we are getting through with that sense of empathy.

“Whispers that say you aren’t worthy of attention or love” …what happened Nikaro 😞

Yumi is extremely harsh on herself bro she needs to relax. I get the weight of responsibility, but the mental self-flagellation she doing is unnecessary. Breath bbg it’s going to be fine.

We now know there is smth in the trunk about Nikaro’s past that needs exploring 🫣

Well fuck. We missed a nightmare, Yumi!! But she being very diligent with her teachings here so power to her 🫡

Hypothesis: What if this isn’t just space displacement, but also time? If they both occupy the same realm but Yumi’s is set in the past? But if so, wouldn’t there be history books that record her time? Needs further testing

I really like the ongoing commentary by Hoid tbh — bro just having fun 😂

Back to Yumi being a hard ass, but that’s the way of the yoki-hijo. Nikaro needs to get with the drill ngl. He’s not wrong in his critiques, but he’s just bitching at this point cuz he won’t be able to change the world for his (and her) convenience.

We move!
