I loved Jing Huan’s as our MC in Guide on How to Fail at Online Dating. Watching his ridiculous attempts at wooing Xiang Huaizhi (ML) in his in game fox fairy persona was just too funny. I laughed a lot about the many weird things he did and how he slowly made progress. The in game chats and We Chat conversations were a joy to read (as they are in every Jiang Zi Bei book).
Xiang Huaizhi was actually a super sweet guy and I was cheering him on a lot. His dry sense of humour only added to his charm.
Of course things were unrealistic at times but that didn’t diminish my experience in any way. As a reader you just don’t have to take it all too seriously and just enjoy the flow of the story. The fan translation was pretty good and I highly appreciated the cultural references, especially those to every day life in China.
This was my third Jiang Zi Bei novel and I loved it. This author’s sense of humour is great fun.
