  This book is literally everything. The beginning 60-70% reads in the style of a weekly mystery that gets investigated by the main character but starting from the last arc in the third book (by the web novel 3rd out of 5 books way) the previous arcs start to coalesce into a plot really quickly and intensely. 
  I adore the way the themes of fate and love as well as the sheer number of character foils and ship(?) foils this book is so analysable as a lit student I am in love with it. But unlike other books that read like it's written for analysis (cough to kill a mockingbird, babel cough) and thus vaguely boring, this one is so fast paced. I read a couple of paragraphs and something new has already happened -> I finally managed to voluntarily finish a full length chinese book that isn't explicitly written for kids
  Mm I'm never going to forget this book it singlehandedly dragged my chinese grades up, made me stop hating my mother tongue, hard carried my will to live for a semester all because I finally found a fast-paced fantasy book that I could understand.
