To the people who think SVSSS isn't worth reading: you're wrong.

I don't think I've ever laughed so much while reading a MXTX book tbqh? It was such a joy to be able to read the SVSSS official English translation--which was wonderful, by the way--and experience Shen Yuan's rage at novel tropes :D This edition and its illustrations were also so beautiful!

The transmigration premise was so much fun and the execution was very well done despite being a bit slow at times. I had such a great time, personally, reading about Shen Yuan being forced to live Shen Qingqiu's life and having to endear himself to Luo Binghe to avoid his fate. The chaotic energy of the System was the best part and the comments regarding the plot made by Shen Yuan himself were gold.

Once again, the characters/locations guide was very much welcome as a point of reference!
