so where to begin with this series...for one I'm nearly halfway through this series and the titular egg (eggs?) is but a twinkle in its snake daddy's eye which isn't a problem necessarily but like, the title and description are some serious false advertising lolother than the occasional n-egg-ing feeling that it's forgetting something, I've been enjoying it, and it's by no means bad but it is a little bit... unfocused. MC and ML's relationship is definitely the through line of the narrative. So far it kind of just fully commits to following whatever the authors decided they're getting up to this arc without a discernable end game in mind, but watching their relationship mature has been pretty satisfying and I've liked the themes and side characters that come up even if they're all generally a bit underbaked across the board.it's not gonna change your life but it genuinely feels unique- at least to me- in its weird blend of serious plot/dog-blood/xianxia tropes and structure with aspects of brainless fluff stuff and a consistent refusal to break too far or too long with a breezy upbeat tone that creates this bizarre existence of an easy reading/pallet cleanser series that still feels in line with more plot-heavy/dramatic xianxia danmei.I don't know what I'm getting at here but it's more than good enough to deserve a review even if it's just my half-baked one.
