loved that the system would constantly interfere within certain situations making them worse, or progress further in an unexpected way. Shen QingQiu's reactions were hilarious, there were many scenes that I couldnt help but laugh at or suddenly pause to reread since it was so unexpected. I still feel horrible for the original Binghe but was it necessary to have him in for just a couple paragraphs before he vanished away? and how was he able to transfer over to the current world into Luo Binghe's dreamscape in the first place? (im curious but im reading too much into this..)I liked how everything clicked in place at the end though, Shen Qingqiu really did fulfill all plot holes and as the reader i was able to finally be informed on some of the character's backstories. it still didnt right the original Shen's abuse towards the og Luo but it gave an understanding of where his envy had been brought up from, and made me switch up my mindset about him a little bit. I love this book so much, its my go-to comfort novel
