I always praise the plot and mystery, but I also love the author's ability to write iconic characters. They're all so complicated and problematic. You see the best and the worst of them. As for how I'm feeling.... I'm just. So sad. My heart is beginning to hurt constantly reading about Wei Ying's past. This isn't going to get better anytime soon, I know it.

Just finished the Guile arc, where Wei Ying learns about Jin Guangyao and confronts him. The Yi City / Grasses arc had me in tears, and this one is no different. The author is really good at telling heartbreaking stories. Looks like the next arc is a flashback. Something tells me it's only going to get worse before it gets better.

Just finished the heavy Yi City arc. It even made me cry. On a better note, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan are killing me in the best way possible (They're so cute). As for the plot, I'm suspicious of everyone. There's so much I don't know yet. I really want to know more of the story of Wei Ying and why he did what he did, and how he really died.

I started a google doc so I could keep track of all my observations and questions, plus characters and sects. It's made it all much easier to understand and overall feel very satisfying, like solving a mystery (Which makes sense, this is a mystery novel...). So far, so good !

My Chinese pronunciation is much more satisfying and natural these days... Anyway, Wei WuXian is absolutely annoying and it's great. I can't wait to see the relationship between him and stoic simp WangJi grow. The plot is picking up and I'm hoping I can keep up.

Wei WuXian is a little shit and I love him. Lan WangJi is adorable. There's a lot of names and clans and sects I have to memorize, just like Tian Guan Ci Fu. I hope I get through this understanding it alright. It's a fun read thus far. I have no idea what this is building up to just yet.

The forth book is now finished. It was the shortest one, but the most difficult one to read. It was even more depressing and uncomfortable than the second book. Xie Lian went through a lot, and I'm going to fall asleep thinking about it all with a heavy heart. Even worse news, the fifth book is the last, so the story will be over soon. I hope for a happy ending Xie Lian deserves.

Okay, third book finished. Wow, that was a lot. It feels like for everyone of my questions answered, there were two more questions! Truthfully, I'm optimistic about what the next two have in store, even though I know the next is another flashback. I said earlier this one was the best so far, but now I'm going to retract that statement for now.

Halfway there. Not yet finished with the third book yet, but not only is it the longest one, it's the best one so far. This story feels endless. At this point, I'd might even be happy for that to be true.

Book 2 is finished. It was so depressing. Nothing but Oh no's after Oh no's. It's good to get all this context though. I feel so much closer to Xie Lian after seeing everything he went through. Eager to get back to the main story, at last. My head is bursting with speculation and theory.

I finished Book One! What an intense ride. The plot is very complicated, but writing down what I understand and don't is helping me follow. The character names were killing me at first, but now it's fun guessing and checking how to pronounce them. Complicated plot, complicated characters, and complicated feelings. A 5 star read so far.

I actually read a little a few days ago, but got scared of it's length. Then, a few episodes of the animation later, and I've now read almost 300 pages! This might be the longest thing I've read in my entire life.
