I read this when I was young, what I can comprehend as I remember from this book is how brutal was it, and how terrifying must it be for them.

As many other young adults, with fear of missing out, I end up reading this book because of trends, unfortunately it doesn't live up to my high expectations, I do enjoy them honestly, just not as I initially would be, it's not as heart wrenching as others might explain.

I wish I could read this while I'm young, just to spike my imagination as child that I could be real demigod as well. but I'm glad I'm able to read this either way, I was bring back to the great fantasy ever, the thrilling feeling reading the adventure of the trio fighting the enemies were fun.

It started as easy but gradually turn heavy. This could be my first political issue genre I've read in book. I'm not familiar with it no it was within my capability to understand.

Wether I'm not made for this kind of genre or I'm not familiar with it yet, I'll find it if ever I found such story to read, but it won't be soon. It might take me long time to pick this kind of genre again

However the relationship between two characters are much enjoyable to my liking, it's the only thing that keep me further reading, their dynamic are also interesting, not to mention Yan Xiaohan charms with all his worth swooning words towards fu shen. Man are born poets somehow

the plot isn't hard to digest, but also isn't easy to consume as it's emotionally draining, surprisingly the plot twist isn't that shocking to me, I kinda sense some of it due to autor's previous works, while it's totally different story, it kinda has the same taste and vibe so it's not that shocking when truth reveals

and gumang, oh my he is really that genius out of all, and moxi... I feel deeply sad for him, while many other characters experience pain as well, moxi pain most time caused because he was left out, keep in the dark about the situation.

also murong chuyi, I love you.

It comes to my realization that slice of life isn't my genre. This could be my 3rd attempt in reading slice of life, and while it's not bad, it's also not my cup of tea

I feel like the plot are too simple and the characters aren't significantly stand out, it's not as if I'm looking out for dog blood or makjang drama plot, I do love modern danmei, one of my favorite is modern one, while the plot isn't complicated as well, the character is lively and has more comedic relief part in them which I rarely found in here and other 2 books, while the slice of life are leaning more to be "realistic approach" somehow it just feels like "too good to be true plot" it's not to criticize the author itself, I believe I'm just not the target audience for this kind of story, but a good thing is I'm more aware for slice of life genre in future

I enjoy this plot a whole lot than the previous series, menurut aku, cerita kali ini lebih terasa lebih fresh, sama kaya buku pertama dan kedua, temanya lumayan baru jadi menarik

aku juga merasa aku lebih suka ketika yuni yg ambil project ketimbang saat sarah yg ambil alih, mereka berdua punya tujuan sama, rating tinggi. tp pendekatan sarah kadang agak egois, suka evil editing juga, yuni walaupun agak keras juga, karna doi keliatan malah beradu sama main couple ketimbang jadi side character, dan bikin character lain jadi kaya b aja di buku ini, but I understand her point wanting to make her show focused on main show

kemaren aku ada sebut bahwa karakter ML itu kaya one dimensional, mirip² sama karakter ML di series sebelumnya, tipe²ambisius, overbearing, smart, yg bahkan aku merasa ada pengulangan kutipan tiap si ML ini ada dialog sama si MC, jadi kaya apaya reuse formula aja, enggak berasa ada diversity dari para karakter ML yg ada di series ini

itu aja. overall, I still enjoy it
