This is mecha battle book haha.
One of my favourite scenes is the reveal of Jun Wu being the one behind everything. I got chills when Xie Lian looked into the sword and saw Jun Wu's true reflection.
Hua Cheng is really putting in a lot of work saving the Heavens and the Mortal Realm, all for his gege. It's not surprising that he came up to rescue Xie Lian from Jun Wu, but it was still amazing (and they had time to be cute).
Jun Wu being a foil for Xie Lian is honestly heartbreaking, despite all the horrid things he did. I do empathize with the Crowned Prince of Wuyong since we saw first-hand how desperate both Xie Lian and Jun Wu were to help their people.
Shi Qingxuan using beggars to save the world was very cute, I missed him very much. He Xuan lending spirit powers to him so he could use his fan was bittersweet.
Our Crimson Rain Sought Flower rolling a 1 before going back to Mount Tonglu made me want to be sick...

The book starts off with stalker-thriller energy. Hua Cheng's pottery barn is unveiled by Mu Qing and Feng Xing. Xie Lian is just blushing and going "ooooh I have a fan." the whole time hehe.
The later 2/3 of the book goes overThe white-clothed Calamity, White No-Face, Wuming, and Xie Lian's second ascension.

We start off with Hua Cheng being reverted to a small child. This is absolutely adorable and the reveal of him growing back to normal size is so sweet.
I think my major complaint with this book is that while I generally love two characters discussing lore to themselves, it does come across as info-dumpy in this novel. We went throughYin Yu and Quan Yizhen's backstory, as well as Pei Ming and Rain Master's. Most of the book they are traveling through Mount Tonglu and we get more info-dumps about the people of Wuyong.
The pda levels are increasing(there's so much hugging Im gonna die of cuteness - when they were trapped in the wall together? Ugh so hard to focus on dumb Yin Yu and Quan Yizhen) and Pei Ming is very likeable for this entire book. Every time anyone says your San Lang or your Crimson Rain Sought Flower to Xie Lian, I just about die.
This seemed like a pretty decent slow-build for the next book (and comedy relief) before getting into the next book where we learn about the Fourth Calamity.

This is phenomenal from start to finish. There isn't a second of "down-time".
We jump right into the blackwater arc and as we all know, the ships sink in black water demon lairRIP BEEFLEAF.
THE COFFIN SCENE and Hualian rolling around on the floor fighting for spiritual power are my tgcf Roman Empire.
At the very end we're left off with a delightful and heavily Princess Bride-esque conversation between Xie Lian andLing Wen while he proves she is the original creator of the Brocade immortal.
Sparky Sparky Boom Man showed up at the very end and reveals there is evil demon qion Xie Lian's lips (hehe) and Xie Lian runs away carrying a small bandaged child - we're back to our roots.

TW: Child death (gore)
The start of this book is brutal.After getting Xie Lian's ascension, meeting Honghong-er and getting more time with Mu Qing and Feng Xing, we start the long and arduous fall of Xianle and the birth of the human-faced disease.
This book has one of the most upsetting scenes I've ever read with that baby being crushed under its father after they fell from the city walls. The description is so graphic
The back half of this book rewards us with lots of cute Hualian moments like 3000 lanterns, their first kiss (underwater too) and then practicing calligraphy
And then the cherry on top is a small domestic scene at the end, and then the start of the Blackwater arc. Here we go, it's time for Beefleaf!

This book has such an amazing start. Gamblers Den arc leading into Hua Cheng and his perfect butterflies whisking away our darling of the Heavens. After that we Jump immediately into the Fangxin reveal as well as spending a great deal of time abusing Qi Rong.
Lang Qianqiu reminds me a lot of Jin Ling (mdzs).

Starts off very slow, with the bride-groom fiasco, but it's a charming reread knowing who all the characters are. Xie Lian is way funnier than I remember.
As soon as our favourite San Lang is introduced and we start the Banyue arc then it becomes everything I love about this series. The flirting is so cute I could die.

病案本 [Case File Compendium: Bing An Ben] by Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou
Did not finish book. Stopped at 38%.

Chapter 1 The first chapter isn't actually real, it's the gong mmc writing novel about how he loves the shou's sister. Thinking back, I don't know why this was included because he's a film student in university?
There is so much self-harm that it stops being jarring because it happens all the time.
Instead of saying any particular mental illness, like when going to an insane asylum, they just call everyone "mentally ill"||
The lgbtqia+ hate is so bad from both the mmc's it's disgusting (very homophobic at every opportunity).
The "first time" between the two mmc's (that hate each other) is a graphic 3 chapter long SA scene where the one character drugs the other. Every scene between the two of them after that is only SA
The "science" behind the one character's abilities is canonically explained with saying "So you know how in resident evil there's 'the Red queen'...."
The plot is complete and utter nonsense and the characters are for some reason all acting in a movie even though the shou is an ex-doctor/professor, his friend is a cop, and then the gong is a student.
Chapter 96I just read a very long scene where the characters were going to down and the gong PLAYS 'MY HEART WILL GO ON' THROUGH HIS PHONE and then puts the shou up onto a part of the room that isn't flooded yet

This was a fun read, definitely very spicy.
Ashen really dragged Lu through the entire plot of the book with her kicking and screaming the whole time.
I was surprised there wasn't really wasn't twists, it was all laid out in the beginning and that's what they did. I think everyone besides Ashen had little to no motivation for what they were doing so that was odd.
