The Demon Venerable’s Wistful Desire Chapter 39 Discussion

I was in for this because of the uncensored papapa.

While I am enjoying this, there's few thing that actually bothered me. I don't know if I'm going to spoil something but really, I'll never write a review unless I really need to pour out my thoughts.

First, since this novel is all about chasing after the wife after they done the deed, the more I read on, the more that I found that Chi MuYao annoying. Yes, believe it or not, it's just my opinion, but damn this MC was getting on my nerves.

Spoiler

I can't for the life of me keep on continue on lying shamelessly (I won't get into details but you get the gist of it) saying that he's not who ML was looking for. Like would you rather people like your alter ego or your fake identity more than your true self even when everything was settled and not threatening your life anymore? At the first few chapters, I already figured out that this MC was actually cruel in terms of emotional aspect. Like it's understandable that he hid his identity because he's afraid for his life, but when ML blatanly and sincerely albeilt domineeringly showed his interest towards MC, but MC gave a lot of s*upid reasons and won't get straight to the point. Though I know it's amusing to see ML chasing after his wife, but damn MC attitude started to rub me in the wrong way.

and then there's the reader. Dude, bruh, like seriously. This person yapping about how they're so done with ML's character and how immature his is.

Spoiler

Of course, he's immature and a bit unreasobnable, but given his title as a Young Master, it's obvious why he is the way he is. Plus he only grew up with his cold-hearted father and without a mother, do you think he'll just change his personality for all of his entire 18 years of life being that way just because he found love? No. Not even when he's determined enough when he's trying so hard to court MC and trying to figure him out for all those 5 or so years. What I'm trying to say is, he's already trying his best but it's just that the MC is the real problem here.

I was actually holding myself back from writing this but that person comment really triggered me. I'm not saying that they're wrong for not liking the ML for having such a childish way of pursuing someone they like. But think about it.

Spoiler

Chi MuYao (the MC and the character he transmigrated into) is 8 decades older than Xi Huai (ML) at the beginning of the chapter while in reality, ML is actually 2 years older than MC if I'm not mistaken before he transmigrate. All in all, they both were immature. While ML figured out his feelings for MC, MC acted like a little girl being bullied and denied everything when he could just get straight to the point. Like come on, give ML his credit for trying his best here for being real and stick to his character.

Alas, as we all know, we are all veteran reader of BL. We know that good BL has the best plot advancement and character developments, and Chinese BL tested a lot of our morality and horniness because of the censored papapa. So this novel has a lot of potential unless you're not into ML being immature but will/hopefully develop into some fine husband for our tough MC. Not often that I feel heartache more for the ML who's chasing after MC.

While all the thoughts up there is more like a rant, all in all, this novel is still one of the best papapa BL out there. With that, I still give this novel 5 stars because it kept my engaged and the plot is interesting enough although the MC annoyed me with his attitude towards ML, but still, the romance is just perfectly well-balanced though.
