adventurous emotional funny tense medium-paced

4.5

I'd like a bit more nuanced take on the way the heavens function ngl.
but it's a good ending to the series and the romance is chef's kiss. I miss the sex scenes :( not only from the horny point of view but also just because it's important to XL's cultivation, I'd like to see how it made him feel to risk/give up all that for HC. you know?

I enjoyed the series enormously and can't stop thinking about it all. I never expected to find some of the best writing in a random Chinese gay novel ngl. (maybe except the phrase *didn't know whether to laugh or cry*. I will never hear the phrase the same.)
