Shixiong, Why Are You Like This? Chapter 69 Discussion

It was good at first, with an interesting premise which caught my eye. However, the great start slowly dwindled into annoyance.

My biggest gripe about this novel is how frequent everyone is nosy about MC and ML’s relationship. It’s okay at the beginning due to curiosity but now it’s just becoming super annoying and irritating to read.

examples:

。Gu Zhiqu (the medicine valley heir girl) made a deal with them and when they left, this other girl from the medicine valley asked what MC and ML came for and that Gu woman actually replied with them needing pain medicine, insinuating it’s for mc’s as*hole or some shit, then the news spreads to the public about that which is batsh*t crazy and a huge ass wtf moment, which pisses me off. First off, the Gu woman lied, second, her junior sister Lin spread the news that a man got f*cked and needed pain relief medicine for it... That’s just so f*cking nasty.

。chapter 68: MC and ML get weird stares by passersbys and start fangirling over the fact MC called ML “brother”, then they listen to a storyteller who basically just replaced the names of MC and ML to talk about their “romance”, that was the last straw for me.

Idk why authors like to make the MC and ml’s relationship public attention like this, it’s really jarring and makes it difficult to read bc of how unbelievable it is. Like yes, they are from a top sect so people are gonna talk, BUT, their relationship isn’t even confirmed yet and people are going crazy over them. My question, why? The disciples of the sword sect, I understand but strangers? Maybe I’m too indifferent about other people’s relationships since it’s none of my business but I hate these misunderstandings between MC and ML and the public. It feels like their entire private life is being aired out to the public even tho the facts aren’t even true.

Now, my biggest complaint out off the way, I’ll start with MC.

Chu Yan is not smart. He’s pretty useless and if it wasn’t for his luck, he really would be useless throughout. As the series goes on, he becomes even more naive and s*upid, extremely dependent on the ML. though he’s hardworking, I do like him a bit but not much. Due to the beginning, I thought MC would be a little smart, brave and bold but no, my impression was shattered.

ML: don’t have any complaints about him tbh, I don’t really care about him. He’s not cold to everyone or an ice brick but when he likes someone, you can really see it which is nice. But it’s understandable from MC’s perspective on why he wouldn’t think ML like him romantically but with how things are developing with the outside constantly saying sh*t and ML not refuting it despite having the power to... yeah.

As for the plot so far,
