Coco's Topics (110)

I didn't like it at first, he looked like a generic mob, and the big eyes looked very cartoonish or like really flashy shoujo manga
it broke the immersion when they said he'd very handsome... but after the new hairstyle he did look great. i also got around his personality after 20 chapters, at first his personality is too bubbly/positive to be real, make it hard to imagine a conflict, but fortunately the story provide enough interesting conflict which made me not focus on his personality. in fact, now it compliment the plot

although there are a lot uncommon things here unlike in other bl, it didn't turn me off, instead it made me like this story so much.

1) ml r*aped mc, but then mc r*ped him back, an eye for an eye. i am tired of seeing bl where the mc have always to be the one suffer in the bed. ah yeah btw, they're totally SWITCH. they said it in story extra (novel). lol although both of them are reluctant when it's time to bottom and they both have complain with the other's performance. if someone has a good story with switch couple pelase rec me.l something.

2) also, BOTH had gotten married to women, and both had a son which is important because at that time period leaving a son to continue family lineage is important. in other bl, the couple usually chose not to marry opposite sex to have children, or if someone have a child, it will be the male lead again! i am happy for once that they still follow their time period custom which made me able to immerse myself, and yes that's they're really people from that time period, not a comic character with progressive mind given by the author through the fourth wall

3) they didn't have that kind of happy ever after ending. the end is kind of bitter sweet imo. i think even the author originally wanted them to not meet again in the end iirc but change her mind bc readers asked for them to meet again

4) the raise and fall of the mc and ml was kind of amazing. although i feel it's not entirely realistic but it also felt realistic. mc had reason why he wasn't punished for the treason you see, same with ml return to power, it doesn't feel like a plot armor. anyway i just really feel i had followed them for a lifetime

5) i like how both were good friend with that death friend. i feel like that person was the white moonlight for both for different reason. although i do have complain about him. but even as the emperor's ex he's not a third wheel, or have antagonistic role at all. overall all the side characters played their role impeccably. i even feel fond towards ml's son although he just showed up briefly

lmao i legit thought the chapter has ended when the ads "cafe mieix" showed up

lmao once they're together they're so embarrassing
there's no holding back at all at whispering sweet nothing
well it's embarrassing but after seeing the journey it's also warmth my heart

i like how they didn't show MC's face when the pov is them.... does it mean MC's face actually looks different from other's perspective?

he's so in love!

i can't help but to cheer on him!

so precious (*˘︶˘*).｡*♡

keep this going! (ﾉ≧∇≦)ﾉ ﾐ ┻━┻

and no one will complain when they get together!

i forgot how cassette work, so i didn't get it before.

(need confirmation from previous chapters)

for example this is RUN 3, PLAYER 1 used TAPE 1 to "record" aka saved all his current memory of RUN 1 & RUN 2 plus the memory he would have in the current RUN 3. In the next RUN 4, TAPE 1 will be automatically "turned on" and PLAYER 1 would remember the memory stored there (RUN 1, RUN 2, RUN 3)

however in RUN 4, PLAYER 1 didn't save or record anything.
this may happen:
1) PLAYER 1 continue to RUN 5, his TAPE 1 still playing. So he will have memory saved there (memory from RUN 1, 2 & 3) but he will not remember RUN 4. there will be gap in memory.
2) another player found TAPE 1 and turned it off, so in next RUN 5, PLAYER 1 will not have the data of TAPE 1 (he will forget RUN 1, RUN 2, RUN 3) basically he will forget everything and turn into an NPC in RUN 5. if he used a new tape, let's call it TAPE 2, he will have memory of RUN 5 in the next RUN 6. but as long as his TAPE 1 is still turned off, he will only remember RUN 5 and so on.

saving each run is the most important to prevent gap in memory and even if the previous tape is turned off or even erased/overrided, it won't matter since the content of the new tape will be the same as the previous tape (if it's true that the tape record all previous memory the player currently has, not only memory of the current run. so as long as the player doesn't forget anything, the tape will record everything).

it will still be safer to save with different tapes everytime to have at least "backup" although there will be gap in memory. however the tape seems to be random so it can't be controlled.

point of confusion though, there will be a lot of tape "turned on" or already used which will be very suspicious, except if everyone can recognize their previous tape and override the record. so most player probably used the same tape over and over again. or maybe if someone continue to save every run without fail, only their recent tape will be available and the previous tape will vanish?

also there are side A and side B. I don't remember whether it has come up and explained. need reread.

well i mean, it's difficult to have a divorce in royal family. at this rate i don't think he will ever divorce her either if they ever survive this. i thought if shuki were going to end up with his childhood sweetheart, either she will return again before marriage or have the second prince die. i mean if she just run away with the other guy while the marriage still technically intact... um it's a bit difficult to imagine since this is a shoujo manga. it will be considered cheating right

ooooo i feel as if the art improve a lot

i like wei sheng ji more. he has more tragic backstory which make me fell more sympathetic compared to little yuan yuan's impressive background. Also WSJ has a unique personality and he had more time to grow up outside of female lead's infleunce. this make him a more complete person by his own compared to YY. even a plus that his character design (white hair and ice root) are also more attractive to me. this character concept is in line with vilain trope tho (he's supposed to be one too) which maybe why i like it so much.

but more importantly it's because he is already his own person before he become relevant to the female lead! oof i already said that but this is VERY IMPORTANT! i am not into male lead who always cling to female lead and doesn't feel like his own person without the female lead around. although i know it's a popular thing and i can still enjoy such read. But if someone better like WSJ why i need to choose little YY? that's bc he's still the male lead!

regardless i still love cultivation story. i only vaguely remember why i dropped this story before.... i will just reread it again and enjoy it will it last..
