Sha Qing

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

He uses desire to ensnare others, he uses blood as temptation, he uses his appearance as a disguise. Like a wolf, he hunts for prey in the shadows. He is among the FBI’s most wanted list of serial killers. He lives by his own law, the Lex Talionis. He does things his own way, independent and reckless. He gave himself his own name: Sha Qing

————

The first time the two officially met:

“The purpose of the prison is not to destroy people’s lives; it’s meant to replace the broken chains of law and morality, to bind the beast in their hearts again, until it is completely subdued,” said Leo.

“Everyone has beasts in their hearts, agent, and so do you.” Sha Qing extended an index finger and pointed at Leo’s heart.

“Yes, but unlike you, I will use those iron chains to lock it tightly in a cage.”

“It’s not as easy as you think, Leo. Things are always changing, and often beyond your control …”

With his blood-stained lips, he suddenly kissed the stunned FBI agent.

The salty bloody taste spread in their mouths and the fiery contact was enough to burn the tips of their tongues.

Leo’s eyes suddenly felt heavy, but his face did not show any irritation from being calculated upon.

“Have you foreseen this in your plans ?” He raised his wrist with effort, then slowly closed his eyes.

Sha Qing looked down and saw that a pair of steel handcuffs had fastened his left wrist with the other’s right arm.

He lowered his head and kissed the sleeping man’s wet, dusty hair, and said in a soft voice:

“Goodbye, brave young lion.”

He then dislocated his own hand to remove the shackles that bound them together.

Sha Qing stood up and walked away, until his figure disappeared into the darkness…

This is a very good novel and can be considered a masterpiece! The author is obviously very knowledgeable about the crime fiction and did their research regarding serial mu*der mysteries in the United States. Although people complained about the MC's personality while he was in a disguise during the first portion of the novel, I feel that it is appropriate. While he is pretending to be someone he isn't, he still revealed some of his daily habits that he would not as the killer Sha Qing. This is also... more>> the reason why ML (and readers) get attached to MC and find his transformation so jarring. The beauty of this novel is how it connects to the readers on an emotional level. (The times that I cried on during this novel... I can't even count them on my two hands.) Truly, this is very well written novel that mixes logic, emotions, and psychology. If you don't pick up this novel, you'll definitely be missing out! <<less

Highly recommend novel !!

This was such a great reading, I loved everything about it. It’s thrilling, tragic, mysterious, gore and it has a very interesting romance development. It was a mix of laughs and cries (lots of crying in the last ~10 chapters).

Initially, it was pretty good, with an interesting case and somewhat intriguing characters. But as the story progressed, it became full of stereotypical characters and over-simplified cases.

And the translation was not very smooth either. It was acceptable (you can still follow the story) and I definitely am grateful for the translators.

So... This is kind of hard, overall I enjoyed it, even binged it. The story flows nicely, pacing and writing are good (one can tell even over translation) . Now... the characters are indeed nicely done. I love the idea and general story as well. The only thing that kinda cold showered me at times was their relationship, it was so frustrating to watch at times. Their realtionship at the most twisted was kinda unbearable both if them went of the rails completely. But hey, at least they're equally crazy.... more>> That being said, it's a pity that Shan Quing's OCD made his final target that. If his final target was rather relationship with his obsession I am sure a master ing of his calibre could've made that happen without international fuss and mutual psychological attacks🤣 <<less

It's barely a 4 stars for me.

This one is definitely one of the better ones in this genre, I just had to, unfortunately, stumbled upon it immediately after reading "Po Yun" which is a far cry better novel. The writing style is not my cup of tea and most of the characters behave like a piece of wood (I couldn't for the life of me remember any of them besides the leads.). But I cannot deny that some of the cases here were brilliantly written. It's smart, exciting, and challenging.... more>> It addressed a fair amount of social issues (which I honestly wasn't looking for coming here, but still very appreciative). This story has enough of an enigma to keep me until the end. At one point, amidst being pissed by a lot of things in here, I still found myself not being able to drop it because honestly, what type of genius writing would be able to solve this hell of a complicated love story... I need to see it. (Alas, I haven't read the ending yet.)

I just hate that the author didn't bother to take a bit more care of their main characters. The male lead guy (I think his name was Leo?) on paper sounds like the most desirable male human on this planet Earth and I started the book rooting for him too, but reading further, I've come to realize that he's a bit dense? and not as smart as he's supposed to be, as, you know, the (FBI HEAD INVESTIGATOR). He also lacked a sense of presence, in the book, that he led, which was ultimately the one major problem I had with Sha Qing. He could've been erased completely from this novel, and it wouldn't have changed much. But I still like him very much though, he made me feel very warm.

The other guy (the MC), he's a bit luckier, cos he's a great character (relatively). Although, I have to admit that, his intellect comes with a lot of help from the old school "lowering the IQ of everyone around you" trope. I also hate how unserious this whole FBI organization became the further I was into the book. It's ridiculous really, take it with a grand of salt.

But it's still a reasonably entertaining read nonetheless. I suggest you give this book at least a fair amount of chapters first, before trusting my very outdated review. Sha Qing will not make you scream or cry in pain, nor will it make any groundbreaking statement on the crime investigation genre, but again I read this after I finished PO YUN (which is the most brilliantly written crime novel I could find here) and still felt something. So I wouldn't dismiss it completely.

Although it's been a really long time since I read this and I have a strong feeling that had I gone and reread the whole thing just for the sake of this review, I'd like it even less than before. So this one gets a very very very generous 4 stars from me.

And it's a VERY generous one. <<less

Initially, I wanted to put 4/5, but then I decided 5. Why did I doubt it? You could say there was one very bad moment for me!
Spoiler

Scene where ML extinguished MC in prison! Violence is unacceptable! ! Even if they are happy at the end, I still have sediment after that incident... And in general, MC is my favorite, and he deserves the best! It was because of him that I changed my grade to 5! I didn't really like ML... well, it's a matter of taste🫣

The story was good. Lots of crazy adventures. Best part of the novel is the first half before the reveal, the interaction and support for each other was sweet. But after the reveal, ML just completely did a 180 character change and the sweet personality was GONE!!! I just can't relate to falling in love with someone with as crazy as Sha Qing, especially with him being so difficult, constantly saying mean sh*t to provoke MC, and kept pushing MC's button. However, the novel was still very enjoyable to... more>> read. <<less
