I can’t believe that this book took more than 350 pages (out of 408) to get to the gist of the story. I was asking myself why I was reading so much about these guys sharing a bed together and then those guys (one of them the same) sharing a bed together. Other occupations were drinking a lot of tea and wine and eat many steamed buns or noodles sometimes even to immortality.
I did like those last ~60 pages. To realise that there was actually a point to all this sleeping in beds and drinking together was fun. Song Yao was a sweet character and I could see why so many people in heaven wanted to help him. That he had abysmal and extraordinary luck at the same time was hilarious and it made me either laugh or snort out loud.
Yet, I think this book would have benefited from better pacing. Yes, I know the author writes online novels and those often are longer than is good for them, but when little happens over hundreds of pages it’s just too much. Anyway, I’m happy the book’s threads finally came together.
