oh i loved everything about mdzs and i was over the moon about finally having a physical copy in my hands.

wwx is the same lovable, oblivious idiot who keeps sticking his foot in it whenever possible. lwj is the same unmovable, tender man who feels too much and hides those feelings to keep himself safe. together, they are so wonderful.

the amount of times i called wwx a clown while i was reading is uncountable. don’t ask me how often it happened, just know that it did lmao

this new translation though… i had to keep checking the OG translation because this new translation had so many differences (i am wary of claiming these as errors since i am not chinese, do not understand mandarin or cantonese, and i do not have the right amount of knowledge nor right to have a say in that particular argument either way). this new translation added many details that were either kept vague in the OG translation or were not mentioned. this new translation also changed many of the terms that older mdzs fans were more familiar with when it come to the text. this new translation also removed many lines that were probably not important plot-wise but were fundamental when it came to the relationship development between wangxian.

i will keep my pre-order of vol 2 intact, but i do hope the translation is cared more about in the future.

simply because of the translation differences, i will be rating this 4 stars instead of 5 😌

It is wonderful to hold this story I love in my hands as I read the printed official english translation. And the beautiful illustrations are very much appreciated by me.

This first of the total of 5 books that the full story has been split up in really sets up a lot for what's coming later. It feels quite slow at times, and the events that happen do not carry a lot of weight yet as the story is still building up to the parts with more tension. However, I do really enjoy the way this first book lets you get to know and introduces the reader to a lot of the important characters in this story. However, it has never been, and should not be read as a book that can be read as a stand-alone novel. While with some book series, you can read a first book and then just stop and be happy with that story, this is a series that you should definitely finish in order to fully understand and appreciate the whole story. With that said, I will definitely be buying the other books as they are released and slowly re-read this captivating story.

If you're after a book about complex characters with a rich magic system and an interesting plot with LGBT rep then this is the book for you. It is so easy to lose yourself in the pages of this book that the time flies by without you realising. I think this is fast becoming a comfort read for me.

I've read a fan translation of this online before it was released in English so this is technically a re-read for me but it was so nice to get back into this world again. I understand why they have had to break the story up into separate books but when you reach the end you can tell that this is not where it was meant to be stopped.

I've already pre-ordered the next two books in the series and can't wait to read them again, for the time being, though I'll just rewatch The Untamed on Netflix.

This was a very interesting read. It was my first time reading a book in this genre so it took some time getting used to the different names and various places found throughout the book. The whole concept is entertaining and I love reading books about various different clans, who are each proficient in their own different ways.

I am familiar with the characters and the world as I watched a few episodes of The Untamed. Obviously, this is the written work that drama is based off so it was cool finally being able to read about some of the events I've already seen.

I excitedly look forward to the next part!

This is a witty, light-hearted, romantic romp, with decidedly dark undertones. The determinedly upbeat main character, Wei Wuxian, means that you rarely focus in depth on the heavier subject materials, and as a result the implications are often more chilling. The somewhat non-chronological story-telling allows the world-building to be filled in as the plot rattles along, and both the world and the characters feel extremely realised. Waiting excitedly for volume two!
