DID NOT FINISH: 68%

Didn't really get into it, then took a little break and have no motivation to pick it up again. Might try again at a later point, but I enjoyed other political danmei novels like Lord Seventh or Golden Stage much more. The steampunk elements were cool though.

4th reread review:
THIS IS SO GOOD!! Seeing Changgeng grow and change, every time he realizes his own limitations he looks for a way to improve
also I finally really noticed all the moments in which you can see how much Gu Yun cares for Changgeng and how *spoilers from an extra* impacts his reactions and actions.

Thank you Priest for changing my brain chemistry forever 🗣️


This is my third time rereading this vol. and I do have a soft spot for any of priest stories so I am quite biased rating this a 5*, but I have had a fun time with every reread and I even happen to notice things I didn't catch before so I absolutely enjoyed it.
