The second novel in the "Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation" series started where the first one left off, with Wei Ying witnessing A-Qing's memories through 'Empathy'.
The continuation of the plot felt a little stretched out, with paragraphs of descriptions and 'side story', which seems to be a running theme with MXTX as a writer. However, it cemented the characterization of Xue Yang, immensely, and added more weight to the fates of everyone involved in the mess he created.
The jumps bnetween present time and memory are less confusing compared to the first novel. They flow more easily with the narration this time around and the added context surrounding Wei Ying and Lan Zhan, in particular, is great. Both are still absolute idiots in love, but it's all slowly, very slowly coming together.
Overall, a great read, minus points for the description paragraphs, though.

Glad the plot picks up a bit in this volume, but still not a fan of the Wei/ Lan dynamic. It's too tropey and boring.
My God, huge chunks of this are INCREDIBLY slow, interspersed with the most romantic yearning I've ever seen
