Fucking love it!  The story is very amusing, but it still has some gore to it. Illustrations are stunning and translation is coherent! Character & name guide and glossary were very useful as well.

I actually started reading the novel even before the official translation came out. However, I didn't finish it. I had stopped somewhere in the middle. The novel didn't intrigued me as much as MDZS had (I've read it before reading SVSSS and my heart still belongs to Wangxian). However in this break I had learned the crucial piece of information: MXTX wrote this for her own amusement. Her work should not be take (to) seriously. With this I could finally enjoy SVSSS and I LOVED it.

this a definitely a page turner, i read it in only three days, and definitely could have finished sooner if i cared too.

everything about the plot and dynamic between sqq and binghe is fucked up, but it’s given a much lighter weight due to the humor, self-awareness, and general satirical take by the narrative. 

because this is one novel split over multiple volumes, the pacing is out of sorts. this rears it head especially in the ending, cutting off both anti- climatically and abruptly. however, considering the alternative is an about 1000 page book, i think it was ultimately the right choice.

all in all, i had a great time and if you’re into two solid red flags finding love, i’d recommend this series.
