i’m genuinely not sure what to think of this book. that one explicit scene was absolutely horrifying which threw me off a lot and the extras weren’t really to my taste either apart from the bing-ge vs bing-mei portion.
as for the actual story, it was enjoyable up to a certain point. i mean it was literally a self-insert fic come to life in a novel with the protag going through quite a lot before deciding what he’ll stand by. and that is luo binghe, ladies and gentlethems.
i loved that plot holes were filled and that sqq was such an otaku and the final chapter was sweet but the climax before it was strange enough to kind of sour everything else for me.
fuck the system though lmao
this gets 3.5 stars from me (:

Graphic: Sexual content, Sexual violence, Cursing, Confinement, Blood, War, Suicide, Medical trauma, Kidnapping, Injury/Injury detail, Gore, Death, Child abuse, Bullying, and Body horror
Moderate: Abandonment
Minor: Homophobia
There is only one sex scene and it is at the climax of the novel and is extremely graphic. It includes dubious consent, body horror, (unknowing) sexual violence, a lot of blood, and what some people (including me) may consider gore.
