is shi wudu transphobic? depends on if you think shi qingxuan is trans. also a bit of racism/colorism and transmisogyny from the author herself46jjsg's review against another edition

- 10/10 Worldbuilding
- 10/10 Main Characters
- 9/10 Side Characters
- 8/10 Pacing... vol 1 was a hurdle but once you get into the world and realize there's a conspiracy that literally ties everything together, you literally can't stop reading the other volumes.
In depth review will be added when I re-read this novel with the 7seas editions.

xie lian is my favorite main character ever. period. in anything i’ve watched or read i can say with confidence xie lian is my favorite. he’s smart, funny, competent, and compassionate. he understands the ugliness of the world and how evil and cruel it can be
hua cheng is a cool mf. everything about him is cool af. i would say i’m xie lians #1 fan but i couldn’t take hua cheng in a fight. i love him. he literally invented love. he’s one of the coolest characters i’ve ever read about
there are so many thematic and character parallels in tgcf and it’s so cool to go through the book and notice all of them
something about tgcf that is different from other books i’ve read is i actually give a shit about the side characters storylines. i loved reading about the backstories of all of the gods and the ghosts.
i’ve written so much and i haven’t even gotten to how good the plot is yet. but i’ll spare the details because to no one’s surprise i loved it as well. it’s 750k words and it still felt too short because i loved it so much. also some also bangers quotes.
anyways i love tgcf and i want all of the books tattooed into my brain.
tldr: god is gay and is married to the devil

I adore the way the themes of fate and love as well as the sheer number of character foils and ship(?) foils this book is so analysable as a lit student I am in love with it. But unlike other books that read like it's written for analysis (cough to kill a mockingbird, babel cough) and thus vaguely boring, this one is so fast paced. I read a couple of paragraphs and something new has already happened -> I finally managed to voluntarily finish a full length chinese book that isn't explicitly written for kids
Mm I'm never going to forget this book it singlehandedly dragged my chinese grades up, made me stop hating my mother tongue, hard carried my will to live for a semester all because I finally found a fast-paced fantasy book that I could understand.

I do think the official translations streamlined and polished everything based on what I did read.
What can I even say about the story? It's about love and hate. It's about destiny. It's about willpower. It's about life and death. It's about sacrifice.
