High-stakes state, fast-moving conflicts, blood-pumping fighting/actions scenes with some kind of eldritch horror-aliens-gods-seamonsters, we follow the MC’s sturdy footsteps and ruthlessly rational mind, trying to figure out what exactly was this multiversal disaster about and how can she flee back to Mother Earth.One adrenaline pump after another, this novel is addictingly enjoyable. Not your critic’s Michelin 3 stars cuisine or anything, but it’s absolutely a perfectly served hot wings bucket on a rainy weekend.The romance is subtle but still very sweet. If you don’t go in looking for romance then you probably wont be bothered by it or won’t even know there’s romance at all. But if you are cues-seeking junkie like me, a piece of subtle hint is like a piece of candy wanting to reveal itself only to the most sensitive eyes. And they are so adorable saasjjsjakkslkakak- *incomprehensible cosmic horror noises*Spoiler
Like c201 when Adam told Kui Xin that she is his “mirror”, his one and only “mirror”, literally a “I see myself in you and you in me, simply talking to you make me grow and change to become a better being, having you as my partner in crime, I’m the lucky one” moment, then proceeded to plead her not to take risk and probably die, told her if she died then “what would I do?”.
Meanwhile Kui Xin and her oblivious (and emotional unavailable) ass stood there dumbfounded, taking all of that artificial-neutral-network-rizz and missed half of it.
But still, that was 10x more intimate than straight up f*cking y’all they are practically soulmates
