loved this one, it finally feels like we're getting to the heart of things and I love it
heaven officia 's blessing's pacing is definitely a lot slower in general. I suspect it will pay off bu not everyone likes to stick around to see it and I get that

This has been my favorite so far; I love the second arc.

It was so horrible to read because you know what happens so you’re just anticipating. The way it goes into detail with the plague and Xie Lian’s descent into despair/helplessness, how he doesn’t even believe in himself anymore. Then there is the scene with Hong Hong-er and you go “there he is, that’s why he’s like that”.
I am so glad that when it switches back to present day, it’s with a silly quest of solo-Xie Lian. It really lightened the tense air that had settled on the book.

Points deducted for:
-the land of fucking tender

I enjoyed reading Xie Lian’s past. It revealed so many interesting insights into the story. It was very well written. Truly gripping. Such a tragic and gruesome tale.

 I also found it sweet that Hua Cheng was still there in his youth. It was nice to see just how much Xie Lian had managed to influence and inspire him.

Also, cool to see the return of the fetus spirit from the first volume! What a throwback!

 

The new mysteries were fun too! Can’t wait to see how they unfold in the next volumes!

Xie Lian and Hua Cheng kissing was nice too! I wasn’t sure if I should mention it here since it could be spoilers. Well, it’s up to you to see this, if you’re curious
