Man, that first section was such a drag. It was so boring up till
First chinese novel I actually read from start to finish (skipping non-age appropriate sections) purely for enjoyment so it's a nice milestone for me.

Self harm is to get blood to do magic things. Happened quite a few times. Also, technically not drug use so didn't warn for it but I feel like demonic cultivation has many many similarities to drug use.bookoutlier's review against another edition

like wangxian invented love i do not make the rules.
wei wuxian is such a good main character. like he's powerful, he's funny, he's kind, he's morally gray, he's insane. he has it all i love him so much.
lan wangji man he's just so amazing. like the absolute dedication i love him so much.
god wangxian are truly such a great couple and they have one of the best confession scenes ever
i think about xiao xingchen and yi city arc daily im telling you it changed my brain chemistry.
i absolutely loved the juniors. wen qing and jiang yanli
bro im telling you this is a danmei must and also watch the untamed. the actors show the best example of eyefucking i've ever seen in a censored show ever. like at times i forget the untamed is even censored.
sidenote the extras are INSANE. i read this before i knew what was up with danmei extras and when i got to THAT scene with bichen i had to turn my phone off and sit in silence for 20 minutes to process what i had just read.

Lots of subtle homophobia and misogyny. There's some dubious consent towards the very end, and the extras have some pretty risque nsfw scenes.
