5.0

Of all the books so far, this one was the most unpredictable. It jumps from the most depressing tragedies and revolting body horror to the most stereotypical fanfiction you’ve ever seen! (Which I loved- Those ao3 moments provided much needed respite from The Horrors.) I have no clue what is coming next and I’m eager to find out!

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
