Heaven Official's Blessing: Tian Guan Ci Fu (Novel) Vol. 8 by 墨香铜臭, Mo Xiang Tong Xiu
3.0
Unpopular opinion :
The extras should have been about other characters.
It should have been about Shi Qingxuan, Ling Wen, He Xuan, Yushi Huang, etc….. literally any characters other than Xie Lian and Hua Cheng!!!
No offense but I have hundreds of chapters and 8 volumes full of HuaLian. I love them but the extras should have explored more of the side characters.
Ling Wen got redeemed way too fast and I don’t even know what’s her story. What about Shi Qingxuan and He Xuan? Are they forever estranged now? Yushi Huang is so interesting (and I also ship her with Pei Ming tbh) but she barely got anything!
There are so much to tell about the side characters but no… let’s read more about HuaLian fucking. Like, I don’t care! I know they’re going to fuck. This series is about to end but I didn’t even got any contents for my favorite character (Shi Qingxuan)???
Also ENOUGH of ‘Xie Lian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry’.
Anyway, I started this fully expecting Xie Lian to be my favorite character and HuaLian to be my favorite romance. But now that it ends, I can say that I’m honestly more interested in other potential couples (Shi Qingxuan x He Xuan, Pei Ming x Yushi Huang etc) and Shi Qingxuan ends up being my real favorite.
I always love ‘kind characters who actively choose to be kind all the time’ so I was expecting to love Xie Lian but for some reason, Xie Lian isn’t like that to me. I like him when I read this series but I think I’ll be able to move on pretty easily. Instead it was Shi Qingxuan (also a kind character actively choosing to be kind) who became my favorite. It was Shi Qingxuan that made me search more fanfics and it was Shi Qingxuan that made me read posts in Twitter and Tumblr. I would even go far as to said that Black Water Arc is the best and most well written arc in this series. I was also pretty obsessed with beefleaf for a while.
I like this series and I do think MXTX is a good writer. At the same time, I think MXTX writing style is much more suited to visual media, for example an animation/donghua. It’s the reason I think the donghua adaptation is better than the novel. Overall, despite somethings didn’t meet my expectations, I still enjoyed this series.
