3,000 lanterns??? Man, that is dedicated love. He is such an endearing liar through the volumes akdjs but the flowers he had left in the shrines... was actually the most touching moment in their story for me.
Also, this series needs more women. Often times it appears like women are only seductive and concerned about their beauty which is cool, but we need more variety of women here. There are rarely any important female character (only 2) whose traits aren't just their looks or sex appeal. Yeah, this is related to the cave scene which I'm not a big fan of.
As a side note: Shi Qingxuan, please, genderfluid majesty, marry me. The more they appear, the more I adore them.

i’ve narrowed down my main issue with tgcf. it feels like, and practically written like multiple different stories, yet the author tries to cram them into one while they go down kicking and screaming, yet can’t truly make either side satisfying enough. mxtx has good ideas and excellent character work, but ideas aren’t enough, especially when they’re drawn out too long, or not long enough. this book is trying to a mix of plot driven and character driven, but the plot is too shaky in its execution that it had to carried by the characters in an unnatural manner, as this wasn’t meant to happen occur in the first place.
that’s why, for me, once we reach the second half, some of the romance between hualian rings hollow, like the author is making up for everything she didn’t do in the first half.
and the first half is just simply not intriguing enough for me. any vague interest i had in xie lian’s past was immediately dashed once i had to read 200+ of the longest pages in my life about it. not because it was sad, because it was a drag to get through.
the side characters in this are more prominent but we still have next to zero for the mains aside from xie lian.
this just. really needed an editor. i dread to think what the extra 100k words that are planning to be added will be like in a novel that is already bloated and overwritten.
