FINALLY DONE
Man, that first section was such a drag. It was so boring up till

lotus pier burned

and then from then onwards it was splendid. All around really solid, I just didn't enjoy the main ship's interactions set when they were young. Really wish we'd gotten to see more of

Wei Wuxian being in yiling patriarch mode

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.
Really really liked the

burial mounds scenes with the Wens

, that was my favourite section of CQL and it's somehow even better here. I feel like a fake fan but I like CQL!Wangxian more 😭💀 novel!Wangxian was just so plain compared to all the plot going on in the book. Also, the sheer amount of times

Wei Wuxian directly or indirectly got Lan Wangji drunk was somewhat annoying

. Uh, I think CQL is not a faithful adaptation when going by tone.
Moving on, when the angst hit it really hit.

When I got to the Qiongqi path section, it was hard to convince myself to continue reading.

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.

i don't recommend reading this before watching the live adaptation. the time-skips are not always coherent and sometimes there's a flashback inside of a dream inside of a talisman-induced recollection inside of a-- you get the idea

i'm gonna make this quick
las primeras 700 páginas me gustaron caleta, de verdad que sí. hay un par de detalles que me perdí por temas de traducción, pero después se aclaraban bien y entendía todo. la historia está super bien hecha, explora muchos personajes y muchos temas, y parece ser súper disperso pero al final todo tiene sentido y cierra de una forma muy genial? el tema su she siento que quedó sin cerrar, pero es uno dentro de miles así que lo perdono. buena construcción de personajes, muy buena la historia, nada más que decir.
de verdad que fui fan de la relación entre wei wuxian y lang wangji? me gustó mucho todo el desarrollo, ver cómo fueron en el pasado y sus interacciones, me reí harto, de verdad que fui fan. pero después se puso bien turbia la cosa y me ensució mucho el libro? yo entiendo que this is ancient china y que en la traducción se pierden detalles, pero en todas las discusiones que leí y gente tratando de explicar la situación del consentimiento, de verdad que no me terminan de convencer. there wasnt consent, y que wwx termine enjoying himself doesnt make up for it? y sé que después cuentan que tiene un r4p3 k1nk pero de verdad que everything here is disturbing. y me da pena porque me gustó mucho el libro, y si hubieran tratado bien esta situación de verdad que le habría puesto 5 estrellas, porque me gustaba mucho la relación que tenían wwx y lwj, pero no entiendo como tanta gente lo ha dejado pasar y esto tiene tan buenas reseñas, gives me the creeps.
en fin, no voy a leer los extras y que esto termine aquí, voy a ver el donghua y la serie de netflix porque probablemente no tengan las escenas que me generaron conflicto y así quiero recordar la historia, pero me decepcionó mucho y qué pena tbh.
