Volume One of The Husky and His White Cat Shizun is a perfect introduction to the series, giving readers a perfect snapshot into the character and plot arcs that follow it. Despite clearly introducing its main character as what any reasonable person would consider to be an irredeemable tyrant in the first chapter, the story still forces the reader to empathize with Mo Ran to the point where they have more faith in him than he does in himself.
Throughout the series, his many crimes are not shied away from, but rather are embraced, using the complexity they create to ask thought-provoking questions on the nature of redemption— who deserves it, who can achieve it, and when a person can truly be considered redeemed— and intersperses them with commentary on accountability, the assumptions we make about other people, and the black-and-white nature of the criminal justice system. However, because it tackles these topics head-on, the trigger warnings are no joke. The series contains numerous graphic depictions of torture, death, and rape. If you think that you can handle that, then the story is more than worth it.
Husky has to be my favorite book series of all time. Beneath all of the darkness and tragedy is one of the greatest depictions of moral grayness that I have ever seen, a captivating world, and deep characters, all wrapped inside beautiful prose. One of only three books (at time of writing) to ever make me cry, Husky will grab onto your heart and refuse to let go.

In both this lifetime and the last, Shi Mei's wontons were Mo Ran's favourite dish. (page 90)
"Does he need someone to make him mad? He can even get mad at himself. The guy's probably made of wood - he catches fire at the slightest spark." (page 268)
Mo Ran stared. What was he going to do about this person's habit of throwing off his covers in his sleep? (page 340)
So that he wouldn't be a dog, the sixteen-year-old Emperor Taxian-Jun, with all his integrity and moral backbone, walked out. He would not go back on his word. He absolutely would not go back through that door again!
So, after awhile, the brilliant and powerful emperor vaulted into the room through the window instead.
Ah! Jiangui: What the Hell. The holy weapon "Ah! What the Hell?!" (page 423)
Ridiculous! It wasn't like wanting to bed someone was the same as liking them! (page 432)
"What does he want with me?" Mo Ran laughed dryly. "I'm just some dumbass." (page 440)
"I've never met a dumbass who could cultivate a core within one year, " Chu Wanning replied.
"Shi Mei, actually, I've always liked you. Do you...?" (page 479)
A pair of bloodstained hands caught him as he fell into Shi Mei's arms. He didn't know if he was seeing things, but Shi Mei's thin eyebrows were drawn together as he slowly closed his eyes, and a glistening wetness seemed to slide slowly down that face. He seemed to hear Shi Mei softly whisper, "Me too."
Mo Ran's breath caught. He had to be seeing things. Why else would Shi Mei look so miserable as he answered?
"I also... like you."
Okay so this is a reread and I am possibly more emotionally devastated than I originally was. The Seven seas translation is so much better than the Google doc I had read before, danmei fans are eating good.

Definitely an interesting and enjoyable read, I would recommend getting a physical copy of the book so you can enjoy the artwork within!

The scenes with the children are early in the book and, while short and brief, are graphic.
