I think that if you're a person who believes that books that do more "telling" than "showing" are bad, you probably won't like this book. But I really enjoyed the translation and honestly I am dumb and miss things easily in TV shows so I really enjoyed having everything explained really simply because now I understand what happened in the Sinner Pit in the show. And I don't know, it's full of fun adventure, ghost stuff, gay longing, and really funny dialogue. Like, I came for a good time and got it. 

Also that whole conversation San Lang and Xie Lian have at the end about Xie Lian's desire to protect common people and San Lang saying that it's a foolish but incredibly brave thing to say was so lovely to read. And sprinkled on top of that San Lang trying to see if Xie Lian would like him if he were ugly? I cry.
