Ch 106, I give up.

Ah, look at that. Full-on Titanic moment.

Yeah, I am flippant. And pretty unmoved. Far cry from the first Jiang Xing dream, huh.

Huh.

I'm still kinda bored. Xiao Cheng's background would have made for a more interesting book, at this point. Idk, things better pick up or I'm about to give up.

I will give Bi Ka Bi credit: this is truly the slowest burn I've ever read, and believably so. As of Chapter 73, they'd both admitted... they both also like men.

HURRAH!

I kept reading after my last update and right after I wrote about moving pieces into place they LITERALLY introduced XIao Li. Well, that actually assuages some fears that there would be no tension or scheming at all in the third act. I'm looking forward to it and how we transition, although I'm now convinced BKB originally only plotted out the first third of this story, and then scrambled to extend the premise.

Still struggling! Whew! At least LQY is Doing Stuff, but it's a lot of political drama to be introduced to all at once without any emotional context, as LQY is supposed to be both the emotional cipher AS WELL AS the main POV character... which worked until, imo, it didn't. It's unfortunately still very dull, since it feels like a lot of moving pieces around in preparation for the next act.

Yeah, I'm officially beginning to struggle a bit.

LQY had zero reaction to the reveal that he was a character in a book. I think I know why, but... it broke my emotional immersion, to be sure. And now that we know he was canon fodder and supposed to be dead at this point... again, like. This story isn't even half over! Where do things GO from here? Ugh I'm kinda bummed after starting on such a high note.

Okay. bit of a soggy spot, here, now we're past the first reunion. It's still charming, but for the first time I'm wondering what Bi Ka Bi plans to DO with these characters for another 90 chapters.

TEARS OF HAPPINESS. ON MY FACE.

BI KA BI YOU DID THAT SO MASTERFULLY.

I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU A LITTLE BIT.

LGY: realizing LWC is blind and can't see what he put on for him
ME: (sobbing like a baby)

THIS STORY HAS MY FUCKING NUMBER
