[4.5]

(Second reading Dec/31/2022):

As I don't know yet where this book begins or ends, I'm gonna count this as the whole 2nd book in the fan translation, so I read from the 98th chapter to the 211th.

I have messed thoughts.

I CRIED, Chu Wanning my beloved deserves the whole world, Mo Ran you stupid, I love you too, but you just...did and DO things... FIVE YEARS MY LORD.

At some point, on the matter with the Rufeng Sect I was bored and that is the part where I stopped reading on my first try, but now I understood almost everything. And now after the 211th chapter, I'm afraid as fuck.

I don't give this book a 5 stars because I still don't understand what is happening with the Rufeng Sect and all that, but I think it will be good.



("First" reading Aug/28/2022):

I need to reread this before give it a rating.

The romance was cautivating, but I comited a crime: pass the other plots just to read romance and all between Chu Wanning and Mo Ran.

For the moment, is like I haven't read anything of this book because it was boring, I didn't undestand nothing and I flip pages without reading, so I need a break of this and I'm going to reread everything I think, at least the plot with Nangong Si and all them because I hadn't payed attention.

These books are... very messed up and all the characters are awful in different ways (except Shi Mei, who deserves better). I'm invested in the mystery and the world, but unfortunately not in the main pairing. (their relationship is very not healthy).

I thought Volume 1 was a lot more engaging and I struggled a bit in getting through Volume 2. I still plan to read Volume 3, but I'm hoping we see some growth from these characters. Mo Ran was a tyrant who did unspeakable acts in his past life and he seems to want to be different, but he keeps acting in ways that hurt others (the sexual violence is particularly disturbing). Chu Wanning is already learning to be more gentle and open with others, but he is ultimately in a position of power over Mo Ran (who is a minor still, even if his soul/brain isn't!) so it feels icky for him to entertain feelings towards Mo Ran (which he seems to acknowledge, but still...)

I guess we'll see where things go in Volume 3!
