i no joke cried the entirety of book 4 the first time i read it and i cried rereading it this time as well

this is just a heartbreaking read. with like no moments of happiness. while reading when you think things couldn’t possibly get worse it does. 

something i noticed in reread
when i first read it i didn’t realize that hua cheng was forced to watch xie lian get stabbed. i just knew he saw what happened. anyways so that’s why in book 5 he’s freaks out at xie lian in the like weaponry room because he thinks xie lian will stab himself to get out


i think the thing that makes this specific book so sad is how like realistic it is. like take away the immortality and god stuff and it’s really a story of how intense poverty can complete change you as a person and how fragile the human will is. 

anyways shout out to the hat man you’re a real one

The cutoff between the last book and this one seemed rather abrupt especially since a flash back arc begins after the main scene ends and is the majority of content.  The back story packed a punch and it was tempered in knowing that the future has hope.  It was good to finally learn how certain things came about and happened.
