m_yin's manga / #mystery(3)

i know that the continuation is out already, and i really want it translated :’( this isn’t bl or anything but i found myself shipping characters regardless lmao. ewan and amadeus/messiah are my favorite characters <3 there’s also a lot of dead bodies and mystery.

i saw the novel around but didn’t look too much into it. young girl who wants to be a pharmacist and is a little too passionate about poisons works in the imperial palace. all the characters are interesting, there are male/female friendships, solid female friendships, and a lot of mysteries to solve. most of the mysteries are easy to follow, and i don’t mean that in a “they’re predictable and boring” way, but you can figure out the gist of the situation while they’re laying out the evidence for other people, you know? in most mysteries, you don’t really get what’s happening until they fully explain it to their audience (at least, in my experience. they’re showing off their discoveries but they keep adding new ones they investigated off screen and you’re like “ohh okay. when did that happen?”) but in this manga, as you see them uncover pieces of the truth, you can figure it out with the characters. like i could understand that jinshi was a prince, but i didn’t know he was the emperor’s son until a later chapter. a lot of things are connected and it’s amazing. mao mao best girl.

oh a world hopping bl that’s actually super interesting. the main cp is so fucked up i love it. currently (ch 105) on arc 3 (alien life-form x researcher), but arc 2 (zombies) is my favorite so far. i LOVE how the female leads aren’t treated like garbage and have their own lives. i especially love how the mc (wang yi) has a reason other than “uuhhhh my family and old way of living” to get back to his og (that we know of) world. i love his loyalty to his friends and the crushing guilt he felt when he believed he caused their deaths. i LOVE his childhood friend, bai mo, and am so so so disappointed that she won’t feature more heavily later on.
