How is this so good? It looks like a silly little funny fantasy but the world is unexpectedly complex and so is the story, anything even resembling a plot hole has just turned out to be some insane foreshadowing. Not to toot my own horn but I can really tell when a writer is skilled... and this one really is.

I’m sorry, Bai Chunian is HOW old…???!!! Talk about an age gap relationship, damn.

Fade to black sex scenes but somehow we still get a detailed description of Rimbaud’s fishussy, 10/10 book

Nevermind, Rimaud isn’t unhinged. ERIS IS. Holy crap. I hope he will stick around and won’t be just an episodic villain, he is so crazy :D and as inhuman as it gets… curious to see that objects can become sentient experimental subjects too.

“Omg this is the first time an adult has been kidnapped and turned into an experimental subject!”

Hm I should read the prequel. I don’t care much about the bunny man (idk I just don’t care for bunnies) but Lu Shangjin is interesting

The way this novel balances light moments with serious situations needs to be studied. Usually I dislike major tonal shifts between chapters or even scenes but here it just WORKS. Major angsty flashback, MC completely breaking down, action scene, cute and caring moment, funny flirty dialogue, another action scene… and it just flows so well. (Btw are we ever going to address how Rimbaud just ate a bunch of people?)

“I really thought I had a good temper before teaching students.”
As a fellow teacher, I felt that 😂

I’m right about where you are in this novel (27%) and I have a question about when Bai Chunian is underwater in the new bedroom Rimbaud prepared for him 😬How is he talking and breathing lolol. I’m not expecting everything to be explained perfectly but I think I missed something here because earlier in the novel Rimbaud gave him some of his own oxygen which lasts for a while. I might just have to go back and reread to see what I missed lol

In chapter 87 (I just looked it up, I’m reading rn xD) Rimbaud created a bubble that allows Bai Chunian to move around underwater, interact with things + also breathe and speak :D earlier at the training island when they went diving for the first time he couldn’t speak because Rimbaud didn’t make this bubble (just gave him oxygen), but here in the Caribean he’s always in a bubble :)
Ahhh okay, thank you so much! Sometimes I get stuck on something that really isn’t that important but it just stays in the back of my mind until I figure it out. This novel is so delightful, I’m loving it so much! I was 💀when Lu Shangjin bought Lu Yan all those helicopters all designed like different kinds of rabbits 😂
I totally get it! Small inconsistencies and details tend to bug me to no end, I can even DNF books due to stuff like that driving me insane… weirdly enough, for this book so far I haven’t been my usual nitpicky self. That helicopter did make me do a double take tho xD
