4.7 AVERAGE


the best thing to have ever happened to me, everyone say thank mxtx for inventing romance. my life would've been incomplete if i hadn't read this book. a masterpiece from beginning to end that was so intricately built to be absolutely visceral. i loved everything and i will defend it + my parents hualian with my life. if there's a flawless book, it's this. it ruined me for anything else. mxtx please never stop writing i adore you.

6/5

MXTX continuing her theme of exploring our moral spectrum! We love her for it! But this time with critiques on corrupt governments??? Where else can you get hot gay gods and quality social commentary, come on. Great complex characters as always <3

-Trigger Warning if you wanna read this-

The manhwa is on going and the anime is already out but if you wanna cry and be depressed then I highly recommend to read this long ass novel (the novel is much better tbh).

I've finished reading this wonderful book and now my life is empty

“I am forever you most devoted believer”

slow burn has never burned the way this burned, and my god did it burn... i have felt hundred different emotions while reading this and i think for something else to be on a similar level as this, it has to be extraordinarily magnificent... words can't express how much i love this, it is now like a treasure in my heart.

5 stars because that's the limitation, if it were up to me i'd pull a hua cheng and give this three thousand stars.
