- 8/10 Pacing... vol 1 was a hurdle but once you get into the world and realize there's a conspiracy that literally ties everything together, you literally can't stop reading the other volumes.
In depth review will be added when I re-read this novel with the 7seas editions.

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.

To me, the one basking in infinite glory is you; the one fallen from grace is also you, and not the state of you.
I am not ready to write a review yet, but I can definitely say that these characters have carved their own place in my heart and that I love them to pieces. This book was an incredible journey and I highly recommend it.
questo libro è bellissimo: leggete il manhua, guardate il donghua e innamoratevi di hualian
