死亡万花筒 Kaleidoscope of Death by 西子绪
5.0
MIND ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY!!
FULL OF SPOILERS. ONLY SPOILERS ACTUALLY.
Actually i really need to start from that plot twist because wow!!!?? It absolutely changed the entire novel right at the end. I came into reading it after finishing THE SPIREALM and knew about Ruan Nanzhu somewhat but even then i was so shocked after reading that extra. What do you mean RNZ was the door god of the 12th door and watched LQS cross all the doors and then desired so ardently to be by his side that he made LQS forget everything as he entered his 12th door and entered with him. All of the story we read was actually LQS in his 12th door, his last door, with the door god RNZ of the same and relived all his doors, same story, same people and same everything just with RNZ now taking over LQS's role from the world outside the door. And LQS actually being the leader of Obsidian and the senior that RNZ knew of?
I literally had to scream out when i read that. And LQS figuring it out and yet never saying anything. Because it changed nothing for him? Ahh I love them. And their dynamic, If I die, I won't burden you to live for me? Like hello? Some of us are single here sir. Really was refreshing to read that kind of story. I'm left questioning everything really. It is so weird.
The 12th door no longer existing because RNZ, the door god, entered the real world. The Hako Onna door where RNZ does what he does was so sad. My favorite door has to be maybe the Mirrors one? How RNZ saved LQS there.
Also the part where RNZ started to ignore LQS because he did not want to make LQS see him die and then turn into a person obsessed with danger?? That was so heartbreaking but then immediately, the moment Tan Zaozao dies, he is there calling LQS again and again because he knows how devastated he must be after witnessing it? Their confession!!?? TOP TIER!!!
And the 11th door, every time they texted each other, trying to know if the other was doing okay and waiting for the messages, not being able to see each other, not able to call each other and then struggling to be together and talking after they meet, fighting ghosts all the time. Only getting nights together and then disappearing from each other the moment dawn hits. Night hours getting reduced until only an hour was left, RNZ going mad over losing him, promising LQS that he will find him, will never forget him. AHHHH.
LQS writing a diary in case he forgot RNZ and then waking up to find RNZ had forgotten him. Finding the key and entering the world where RNZ never even existed????? MY HEART!!
And LQS being alone and finally being in the REAL REAL world and finding out he has basically taken over RNZ's role in this world? (When it was his all along). And then living an year all alone, unable to accept this reality, people around him forgetting him slowly and then getting a call saying, RNZ IS BACK??? Their reunion? Their love?? Everything was perfect.
I just had to rant out everything i thought of to get over this obsession. READ KALEIDOSCOPE OF DEATH! NANQIU!!!
