Completed Adult Drama Mature Mystery Psychological Romance Yaoi

5/5- Nature has blind arbiters. Who is to decide the limits of morality and the nature of human?Absolutely splendid novel, extremely well written and whatever... more>> the author wanted to portray was done so perfectly. Criminal psychology, as lazily named is it may be, may have been written on a spur of a moment; as said by the author herself, it was wrapped up perfectly.Pros:PLOT:This is a novel with a message. You can't call this your typical crime novel because it isn't one. This one delves deeper into philosophy and psychology and can get very deep and heavy. It makes you contemplate about many things regarding the concepts of altruism and selfishness.The different stories, or arcs were all written intriguingly and the suspense was palpable. I'd have to agree that the thriller aspect is extremely vivid in this one.The plot twists, my god. Well, rather than calling it plot twists, the unpredictability is absolutely insane (more specifically Lin chen's actions- I'll elaborate more in character)CHARACTERS:I can't help but scream when it comes to this aspect because- human. So so human, extremely realistically written, an overpowered psychologist who just knows what's going on? Perhaps at the start I may have been skeptical about it, but as I went on it was crushingly obvious. Lin chen was just human and nothing more. He feels so much and you just want to give him a hug. He was such an unpredictable character, not because his actions were 'jaw-dropping' but because he was a sort of enlightenment, he showed me human nature and he showed me another side of being a person, one I could never consider as an abnormal person.Xing Conglian- the ML, kudos to breaking typical stereotypes, it makes me want to cry how supportive of a man he is and how professional he can get. He's such an embodiment of the experiences he's been through and it shows. The character development is amazing whether it's him or Lin chen (even Huang ze) Every action he does as a perquisite (like It can get tiring to see the ML act immature as hell for absolutely no reason at all.)Side characters. Huang ze, Song shengsheng, Xu ran, Fang Aizi, Shen Lian. Huang weiwei, Duan Wanshan (oh dear), Duan Yang (We love wang chao and su fengzi but they're explained enough) Such complex and beautifully written characters, there's no black and white, like Oscar wilde said, people aren't good or bad just boring or charming, and god all of them are charming as hell.ROMANCE:I don't even want to yap about this because this is the Ideal relationship.Boundaries respected, every damn thing I overthink about, addressed and subtleties? Perfect. I think less is more.Just how can they be so good godCons (not really) :Well, I do have a few points I'd like to point out. First beginning with the message and genre of the book itself, like mentioned above it's not a crime novel per se but much deeper- much more psychological. Which is why I'd like to point out that unlike the usual crime novel this isn't about the criminal, it's about the victim, the bystanders and the motives. If you aren't interested in these in depth philosophical aspects then I'm not sure you'll enjoy the book as much as others. While I'm not too sure about how much jargon was too jarring to read because I've done psychology courses before and also have deep interests in philosophy. There were many places where I reached the same conclusion even before Lin chen. (Genovese syndrome, crowd subconsciousness e.t.c)Addressing the 'unsatisfactory' unresolved feeling of the text, once more I think it's just a preference thing. This book was one that spoke volumes to me because, I, though not as severe have an abnormal brain as well with sociopath tendencies, no criminal is born a criminal. This book highlighted how much of us want to be 'normal' while I also deeply relate with the criminal side, it was really a mixed feeling.Finally, Lin chen and Huang ze, I've written a bit too much but let me elaborate on these two. Many felt they could've been done differently, but I digress. First, it's clearly mentioned that everything isSpoileron Huang ze's part, he feels a mix of emotions and each of them make perfect sense. When Fu hao mentioned what happened, I already pretty much guess what Lin chen 'did' so all his actions felt almost selfless to me, why? Because of trust. Those subtle smiles, everything meant so much. But once again Lin chen is just human and so is Huang ze, think about how emotionally impacted both of them would've been.Lastly, due to the fact that it was different stories meshed together, the pacing was fast and the psychological impact was huge, and we can clearly see that on the characters so I don't see how it's a con but oh well. I feel like I need to make an 'Out Out' reference here, life is oh so fickle! You can't control fate's pace.In a lot of aspects, this takes one of my top spots, I'm someone who needs some sort of psychological mind-f*ckery in crime novels, purely because I can guess the plot every single time and that's really annoying, which is why Lin chen was so perfect because he's like a storm that swept me away (haha) Anyway, I'm one of the minority who didn't enjoy Mo du as much, don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of priest for Cancipin (my top spot) and Sha po lang but Mo du felt short purely because it wasn't enough, I predicted almost everything and it just wasn't intriguing enough. Personal rating (critic) :6 (i cannot help it) /5 Overall: 5/5Unpopular opinion but for me, the last arc was my favorite, the fourth arc was amazing as well, but I just felt the last one was much more deeper and intriguing as a whole. <<less

Action Drama Mecha Romance Sci-fi Shounen Ai

5/5- ... This is my favorite book. My heart, my entirety, all given to this book.Cancipin is a once in a life time read, let... more>> me cue in priest- she’s exceptional and she’s outdone herself. I’m picky as hell when it comes to novels, giving over a 3 for personal ratings has been quite a challenge and lord we’ve got this perfection right here. Imperfections? No! It’s perfect all around.Pros:PLOT:It’s got everything: A sci fi world with mecha, a beautifully thought out world, extremely, exceptionally well written, and I can praise it for another 2 hours.This isn’t just your typical science fiction novel about saving the world- no! This isn’t about the ‘world’ it’s about humanity. How we view humanity and which part of us is this humanity and what it means to be human. Eye-opening and simply beautiful. I want to say more but just read the book, and all your questions will be answered.the plot is mixed with perfect amount of humor. It’s not too serious and it’s not too playful either and it’s paced very well. I will admit that there is quite a lot a jargon at the start and you have to get used to it but once you do, it’s perfect.Characters:Big clown Jingheng and smol clown Bixing, just thinking about them makes my heart clench with pain. So so fleshed out and the character development? Just read the book. Book 4? Just read it. It’s too worth it, I can’t even elaborate.Side characters are perfect too, we love our lil butler and goddamn they’re all fleshed out too.Both of them are smart and they’ve got their own worlds to care about, one thing I love is how their personalities aren’t templates with already fixed details. It constantly changes and you can see it.The antagonist, so human, that’s all I’ve to say.Romance:Oh dear, this is so hard to talk about without spoiling but remember book 4.perfect amount of everything like a well seasoned dish. It’s so mature and so realistic, I’m shedding tears thinking about it.Cons:I want to say ‘f**k off’ but let’s just say. First, I wish it was longer coughs, Second, I will admit the book can be a bit hard to read due to how THICK the content and action is, but once you’ve gotten used to it there’s nothing to stop you.Overall:Just. Read. It, I bet my life on it. Don’t regret living. Personal rating: 6 (it’s not enough but let’s be professional) /5 overall: 5/5 <<less
