I NEVER would've thought this book was THAT good wtf, I started reading with my best friend and the begining was a little bit slow but then it picked up the pacing and I became familiar with the characters and holy shit did this hurt but it was so worth it, I'm immediately starting the next one

It started off a little slow for me, but towards the end, everything started happening, and it was getting really good. I honestly can't wait to start Vol. 2. I am so annoyed (not in a bad way) with all of the misunderstandings that I want to bang my head against a wall!!!! Also devastated that right at the end when
Chu Wanning was saving Mo Ran, he didn't know it was actually CW since the bodies were swapped, and since the book ended after that, so now we don't know if/when he finds out it wasn't Shi Mei. 😭

I found the translations too poor, and the content too unsuitable. It was very very triggering, which made the jokes come off wrong.

This book... Oh my god, wtf 😅😅😅

The MC is absolutely a terrible person and most of the characters aren't much better (except Shi Mei, bless him). I don't wanna give spoilers, but if you read through the content warnings, you're basically reading a list of the protagonist's misdeeds.

The main plot is that the MC is reborn and has the chance to redo his life, so I'm very curious to see if that's actually possible. Can he go in a better direction? If yes, does that erase his past crimes? How much can truly be forgiven?

I think I would enjoy this story more if the main relationships were more healthy. The plot and themes have kept me very invested, but oh my god, I don't know if I could ever recommend this book because a large part is romance, but it's sooo problematic. The title alone indicates a relationship between a student and teacher (a disciple and master/Shizun), and in this first book, there is such a huge age gap and it's honestly very yikes.

I honestly don't know what to rate this cuz it's awful but also really well-written and I couldn't look away??!? I think I'll give it a 3.5 for now, but that may change. 😅
