i’m gonna be honest i’m so disappointed at the whole plot twist at the end
like this would’ve been a solid 3 or 3.5 star but the extra honestly left such a poor taste in my mouth in regards tonanzhu playing w qiushi’s head like that & literally stealing his entire life??? just to fulfill his own wishes & everything. like i just genuinely can’t get over the fact that the qiushi we follow thinks he has no family who loves him & feels incredibly isolated & then we see him meet people who care about him & who he falls in with & feels like he finally has a place with only to find out that he was never isolated & alone?? nanzhu just made him feel that way by literally manipulating the entire world around him & putting himself in this place of power for qiushi to look up to & revere when it’s literally just him stealing qiushi’s own accomplishments & family & friends & it just makes the whole story feel icky to me idk
also this is such an unpopular opinion but my favorite doors were the ones that lin qiushi did on his own (i think the river ghoul one is still my favorite; i just loved getting to see him actually reason through things & figure things out w/o nanzhu just feeding him info the whole time) & i wasn’t a huge fan of nanzhu in general (esp. after reading that first extra & getting the entire story recontextualized)
