But knowing that he was Xiang Huaizhi's first love, he still felt happy. Nothing else, just simply happy.
this was such a chaotic story about the headaches that are the world of gaming and just internet culture, in general. it really felt like a true reflection of what it’s like to be on the internet 24/7–as someone who also spends a lot of time on the web 😅—and i loved how descriptive this translation was in the worldbuilding as these characters fought each other in battles and even had their little slice of life moments with their avatars.
the chaos that was seeing these same characters interact with each other in servers and play very dirty was wayyy too realistic, but jing huan’s way of throwing them off really helped lighten the load. his alter ego has such a cutesy personality but is very spiteful in many ways, i loved it.
i think what made this story feel even more enjoyable is that we got to see what some of these characters’ lives were like offline. it made jing huan & xiang huaizhi’s relationship development feel extra special. their friends also carried a really important weight in the story with all their banter and contribution to bringing these two together more than they even realized. i really loved lu wenhao, especially, for very stupid reasons in that he’s such a comedic character who had the misfortune of being catfished twice. i would’ve loved to see how his adventures in online dating continued to shape up, but thats something maybe better found somewhere on ao3, perhaps.
overall!! this was the first danmei i read that unfortunately almost veered to the point where it was too long—the secret identity trope was fun for a good chunk of the time but around 70% of the way through, i did get a little tired of it. thankfully, that was around the same time when we hit the angst—which was very short but helped boost the story in my eyes so that i can understand why it still needed a little more room to write.
i love this author’s writing style; this is only my second time reading from them but i can already tell what their staple dynamic is like between their main couples—you have jing huan & jian rong who have very fierce personalities in both personal & online relationships, but when it comes to their love interests, they’re like a pile of warm goo and it’s honestly damning as hell, i love it.
xiang huaizhi & lu boyuan are much more quiet in temperament, but with an overwhelming aura as they have large fanbases for not just their mysterious personas but also spectacular gameplays. the way they dote on their mcs are very sweet, and one of the highlights of jiang zi bei’s storytelling.
i would love to read more of it, and thankfully, there is another title ready to be read in the near future, so im excited!!
