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!

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
