OH MY GOD I'M ONLY ON CHAPTER FIVE BUT THEY'RE SO FUNNY... more>>

[[Song Xinqi, hanging his backpack, paused and snapped: “What can you do besides eat?” / “I can breathe.” / He cursed, climbed down a few steps, and reached out to him. With his help, Yu Qing managed to climb the tree.]]

Our best boy, MC is so real, but he's also appreciating this opportunity to see and experience the world for the first time. It's really wholesome in that regard. And extreme tsundere ML tries not to care about him but is failing miserably. I really appreciate how Yu Qing got stronger over the course of the story, but not to the point of being a saviour or fated hero or something.  <<less

MC is such a mood... bro is so done with ML and literally every other person he meets akljgsdaflksf. Leo is getting humbled on the daily and I'm so proud of MC for taking none of his sh*t from the very start lol. Not gonna lie, ML really needs to stop touching MC randomly without consent, when MC is visibly uncomfortable with it. ... more>>

Also this is basically sentinels/guides + omegaverse fusion. Genuinely only 2 female characters so far, and both are quite flat. Are there no female sentinels or something?? 

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. MC is the main reason I'm still reading it atp. ML is still annoying tbh, and I can't really vibe with the other characters so far. I'll move this to Reading Hiatus status for now.  <<less

Xia Qiao: *Tsinghua gay lifelong pride reserve officer* I'M DEAD WHAT-- Also he's totally into Shen "straight man" Zhao lmao. ... more>>

Zhou Cibai, self-professed heterosexual, overflowing vinegar jar on their second day of being roommates. Denial is a river, my dudes. Clown behaviour on the daily. Hourly, even. Imagine overthinking so hard you make yourself a gay disaster. Delulu is the solulu, every time. The other roommates switched up so fast too omg, no hesitation. Comedic timing is impeccable.  <<less

Is this a comedy? I feel like it's supposed to be. ML is meh (aka OP and teases MC to the point of being mean),... more>> so hopefully he'll get some CD as it progresses. MC's going through it though oof.  <<less

HILARIOUS JFC I AM ROLLING. MC is so insanely funny (an absolute mood, a true fudanshi icon). I love the coworkers and He Yu, she's a true comrade. Sees a BL plot play out right in front of her eyes in real time. Xie Jing is silently sipping vinegar, he's already so possessive and MC doesn't even know he likes him yet AHAHAHA. But Xie Jing definitely knows about MC's BL inclination to some extent, he has to, considering some of those reactions. He's doing his best here, bro's down BAD. And his capture target is in denial pfft. ... more>>

Xia Ye is such a chaotic wingman, got no chill whatsoever. Exposes MC on the daily. Mutual wars of pettiness. Also the translator keeps switching between he/she pronouns so... GENDERFLUID CHARACTER AYO?!  LET'S GOOOOO!!! Btw Zhou Xuyang def knows something's up with the two main dummies, but is very lowkey (or has been recently awakened to his ~ship~ with He Yi, supported by He Yu and MC, of course!). 

"I often suspect that we are a small psychiatric hospital disguised as a BL editorial department." One reviewer found the jokes a bit repetitive after a while but honestly I never got tired of them. They're all so funny and I found them so amusing after reading other works that seem to normalize poking at vulnerable groups as comedy through characterization, uncritical stereotypes, etc. 

And MC's right. LMAO. This is genuinely one of the most crack-fic novels I've read, but it WORKS. It's so entertaining. Tropes are subverted, or overwritten with a bit more reality injected (to me, at least), and everyone is slightly unhinged either because of their proximity to BL or being impressively eccentric. Plus MC/ML's relationship doesn't just grow after some major unnecessary and angsty misunderstanding. It's only comedic misunderstandings (and two characters who are NOT going to let potential misunderstandings/assumptions go on too long, and would rather communicate, and ask questions/observe the other person's reaction and ensure things are clarified before causing trouble). Amazing.  <<less

Only 14 chapters in but ML is totally a green flag so far. 

THE 50's ARE BLESSED OHO FINALLY A CONFESSION AND MANY KISSES!! "Mutual Communication + a Kiss" is a great chapter name. Hell yeah. Jiang Churong,... more>> who previously was dense af (though Wen Ling's lack of communication skills also contributed lol), got the hint pretty fast after WL kissed him AGAIN. And then they had multiple conversations. Good stuff, bro.  <<less

Digitalized underworld is such a funny concept, but so fitting at times. Meng Po's pudding milk tea sounds even better than soup. And not the... more>> merits being recorded like a spreadsheet pfft. Online courses for exorcism? Hell yeah. Literally hehe. Lord of the Underworld casually orders pizza delivery for his wife. And has a waist chain kink for when they perform their ~marital duties~. Hahaha.  <<less

A GNC/GENDERFLUID TRANS CHARACTER?! WHOSE CIRCUMSTANCES ARE RESPECTFULLY DESCRIBED BY THE MC IN THE 3RD CHAPTER?! The bar is low but still, very nice to see more casual acceptance and support!! How is the literal Underworld better than most societies rn? ... more>>

Underworld R1800+ for The Cold Yama's Runaway Pregnancy. That's insane lmao. And Li Bai accidentally hands it in with his homework. TO THE PROTAGONIST OF THE YELLOW BOOK ITSELF. Not Li Bai being the black market middleman for p*rn about MC and ML (and he doesn't realize that they're his teachers OOF). THE ENTIRE UNDERWORLD FORUM SHIPS THEM PLEASE WHAT. AND THE FAN MERCH. LI BAI OFFERING TO SHOW ML THE MERCH OF HIS CP IS JUST... Wu Mu joined his own fan group. Wild. And Xue Changyi has nO IDEA what he just got himself into. AND WU MU'S MERCH DELIVERIES BURST FROM HIS LITERAL CLOSET. IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS. Body pillows, chibi dolls, the oppai mousepad, and so on. HE'S SUCH A CLOWN AND XCY IS JUST CONFUSED?????? And what the heck happened with the Second Yama King? 

We love a not-dense protagonist for once. He clocks Wu Mu real fast after the signs emerge. I mean, missing those giant signals would be a bit tragic. Aww... XCY saved him. 

The ending was a bit weird but alright ig?? <<less

Aish... I really like the MC in this one but like one reviewer said, I dislike the excessive deception. Manipulation is extreme. Xiao Liu persona... more>> annoying as hell lmao.  <<less

Short, cute, and spicy. No angst here, enjoy! ML's entire family are a bit ridiculous but not in a negative way, they're just silly (hilarious).... more>> Their impromptu roleplaying in extra #3 is just... LMAO. <<less

OHO "THIS IS THE STANDARD VILLAIN PROCEDURE" HELL YEAH BABY, TAKE YOUR REVENGE. 

Two clowns, not a single braincell. HOWEVER, very short and sweet and silly. 

Oh god the first two lives are going to be full of angst, aren't they? And probably the third one until near the end too.... more>> Pain :D <<less
