OK. I´m here while reading the novel(almost finished), you have no idea how good it is.
I am not a reader, I never read, i pick up a book read half of it but as soon as i put it down i can never continue it.
BUT this novel guys, THIS NOVEL!!! Is out of this world. One of my favorite piece of media ever, literally.
It´s so good, the story is so innovative, the characters interesting you wanna befriend them, the plot is not only like regular BL plot. I feel like the way it´s depicted here doesn´t compare to the novel. Ofc not everything can be shown because the novel is very detailed, but really the relations between the characters make much more sense. Many things have been discarded in this illustrated version, sometimes it doesn´t make much sense and it´s hard to understand why people don´t like Xie Lian, but it´s explained in the novel. I encourage everyone to read it, really!!!
Other than that i really wanna praise the artist who illustrated this version because the artsyle is exquisite, i don´t know how it´s humanly possible to keep a regular release schelure with such a detailed artstyle!
They´re so frustrating, really not made for each other. They don´t even try to listen or understand the other it´s just power play and insecurities...
