he is shown as an AI in one of the horror games. He is portrayed as possessing a really nice model so the MC asks for his reward to be a kiss.

Tang Erda, I get it if you can't stand it anymore after reading the parts where he is in because I did so myself. I only got through the parts where he is in by bad-mouthing him the whole time (￣▽￣). He eventually joins the MC's team though and he also gets character development. After this arc, it will probably be better to read through.

I personally really love these two. Whenever I read parts about their backstory, I feel the need to want to hug them and shower them with love. Especially the part in the clones (i forgot the arc name) arc. Bai Liu also said a line about if he himself is a monster and ML is a monster too then arent they a perfect match (forgot the exact line but this is basically the meaning though)

MSC LJY MuKe (heck even TangErDa at some point too) etc I love them all without them this story wouldn't be how it is. the villains are... quite something as well. we have a psycho clown, a ?nun?, oh yeah and the queen of hearts I quite like her/his ahem (yes I was shocked to know this too) backstory with Bai 6

about the author drama on jjwxc (if you have seen it, u know its crazy) in my opinion I think we should seperate the novel characters from the author but fr can they chill

Queen's in particular destroyed me

Tang Erda made me wanna rip my hair out at first. Liu Jiayi in particular was a favourite of mine, I have a soft spot for precocious kids.

Spades as an ML was definitely not what I'm used to, but I grew really fond of that damn lizard

The relationship wasn't exactly the healthiest, and there was definitely some codependency, but that doesn't take away from the story, rather it's very important to the plot.

Yes, he's absolutely unhinged, but he's so smart that it becomes super hard not to want to just bask in his presence. His intelligence helps to facilitate his money hungriness and, at this point, I say just hand over the dollars (yuan?). Every time he enters an instance there's no tension of 'will he or won't he make it out'. He will and he'll take every good thing/reward the system gives without a backward glance (as he should, absolute king).

Still, even though he's probably a sociopath, he's pretty good to the people around him even if he's just using them. It sends me the way they're willing to be used because he's so sure and steady all the time. It's a mood though. Even as a reader who KNOWS that he makes gambles on low chances, I get excited and fully believe in what he's saying every time he opens his mouth just to be slapped in the face with the fact that he's kinda just winging it based on like a 60% chance of success. It's fantastic!

The ML hasn't come up too much so far but the glimpses we've gotten of him gives me good vibes so I'm excited to meet him fully. I'm sure his interactions with Bai Liu will be fun.

Oh BTW, Xiao Bai Liu is at once the cutest and most annoying character I've had the pleasure of reading recently so have fun with that.

I feel like their relationship was deep, beautiful, but very overwhelming. Their fights were incredible painful and at some point, I was dying for them to just COMMUNICATE because they were causing each other much more pain than comfort. However, it's not completely a negative point as it's explained in the book that they are each others "souls" basically, so I can see WHY their love was so engraved in their beings and why everything seemed so dramatic (lol) when involved them.

And the ending made me so sad because nobody (except his found family and lover) remembered him after such sacrifice. Also, I wish that I could see a little more of them after they reunited. I loved he found his lover again, but with his team being a big part of the story, I wanted to see just a little more of them after everything was solved. But... oh well.

Bai Lu and Xie Ta/Spades.. I love them. Mu Sicheng, Muke, Liu Jiayi, Tang Erda, Lu Yizhan and Fang Dian... I love them..

I did thought at one point that Xie Ta/Spades is like.. the center of everything? Like.. they are intricately connected with each other.. him and Bai Lu. It gave me the perception that.. in the end.. it will come down to the two lovers. But.. I never expected that it's much deeper than that. It's so crazy. And I love that there are some clues hidden at some points of the story. That there's basically foreshadowing in some of them.. or like how somethings that was said will be use for the future. They did a well done. They probably have a high score in the game if ever. I'd say the MVP would be Fang Dian though.. hmm.. then Bai Lu and Lu Yizhan. I guess sometimes.. cheating is good? 🤔

Some reviewers mentioned that the ending was rushed; honestly, I agree. I think the lack of explanation and reunion made me feel unsatisfied with the epilogue. The author didn't explain thoroughly how Lu Yizhan and Fang Dian were able to remember Bai Liu and even the way the members of the Wandering Circus recalled their memories of Bai Liu felt rushed.

The revelation of Zhao Muchi and said character's background, especially why Hearts was obsessed with Spades was definitely a shock to me. While I did expect sometime after it was revealed that Bai Liu's desire was Xie Ta during a particular fight that Hearts wasn't as obsessed with Spades compared to what was initially presented, it was still surprising.

His reason for despising Bai Liu at first is definitely valid. I, too, would hate Bai Liu if Bai Six acted like that in the previous timelines. Who wouldn't? Bai Six literally tortured and mu*dered the person he's in love with and his teammates.

Him understanding that Bai Six and Bai Liu are different and therefore would not commit the same acts, led him to holding guilt over the time he tortured Bai Liu. He now holds an incredible amount of trust in Bai Liu which. Breaks my heart. Honestly. He loves protecting and spoiling Bai Liu.

Ice Age got more interesting towards the end, when Spades kinda killed Tawil. The other parts were boring to me. Dense Forest Frontier was only fun whenever Spades and Bai Liu interacted, especially when they got married. Yinshan Village was a total snoozefest, sorry. I love Mu Sicheng and Bai Liu's pair, even shipped them at first, but god was it boring. Five Buildings only got interesting when Wandering Circus from the other timeline appeared. The Lost Land of God was mostly interesting when they traveled back in time and whenever Mu Sicheng and Armand interacted.

special mention to chapter 463. what the hell was that????? spades feeling like he couldn't win against xie ta made my heart ache so much like that's my baby nooooooo.......

another special mention to armand and mu sicheng's relationship. I ship them a Lot. sorry to the author I can't help myself they're kinda crazy.

AND OF COURSE. the drowning man from the future. oh lawrdddd did I sob my eyes out the entire arc. bai liu was afraid to lose his teammates.... him drowning in the well of sinners..... daniel killing the rest of wandering circus..... tang erda telling cen buming that bai liu was innocent like oh my GODDDDDD
