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

TW: Child death (gore)

The start of this book is brutal.

After getting Xie Lian's ascension, meeting Honghong-er and getting more time with Mu Qing and Feng Xing, we start the long and arduous fall of Xianle and the birth of the human-faced disease.

This book has one of the most upsetting scenes I've ever read with that baby being crushed under its father after they fell from the city walls. The description is so graphic

The back half of this book rewards us with lots of cute Hualian moments like 3000 lanterns, their first kiss (underwater too) and then practicing calligraphy

And then the cherry on top is a small domestic scene at the end, and then the start of the Blackwater arc. Here we go, it's time for Beefleaf!

I feel like the arcs in this volume were surprisingly a lot more interesting than the previous 2, so I am super excited to continue to see what else happens!

Well, this one starts with a flashback and to be honest Qi Rong might need three most annoying character so my enjoyment level when he was on page was low.  However, it picked up and we got some little nuggets to tie the past to the present and then we transitioned to the present timeline.

The first section got quite dreary and dark and Xie Lian had a lot of growing as a new god.  That juxtaposed with the second half of the book that was quite comedic and humorous to the point it was close to slapstick was a little jarring but very effective in defining the massive character change that Xie Lian had gone through in his 800+ years.

I'm thoroughly enjoying myself and will shortly be reading the next installment.
