Clear and Muddy Loss of Love Chapter 1-10 Discussion

okay, sooo I finished reading the novel a few days ago but I forgot to write my review.

I would give 5 stars to the characters, bc they were really well developed, each one of them was interesting and felt real, they made mistakes, they fall in love, they get sad, they get angry, they get happy. It was very good in this aspect. Qiyan and jingnu are very smart women, although they are very impulsive, specially jingnu, but they have their goals and motivations, and I like that of them.

jingnu had a really grand char development, and I felt like I was my child growing up, she went from a reckless, pampered girl, to a magnanimous and strong woman, that was amazing.

qiyan always resorted to arson, which I find funny haha, but she's so very smart, so intelligent, like wow, I was amazed by her, how she plots so many things far ahead, that's whew-

the side characters were also pretty good, specially the shifu, I like her a lot. About the nangong sisters, I didn't really enjoy Shunu's development, I felt it lacked a bit more impact, her first half of her story was so heart wrenching and I was looking forward to her growth, but I felt it underwhelming. Howeverrr Sunu!!! She's so perfect, , , , i- she's the best eldest sister, she's funny, she's smart, dedicated and strong, *cries*

Spoiler

I understand she had to die because the past dinasty princess was born from a "star of bad luck" and she would bring tragedy to her loved ones, , , , but I still can't accept that sunu died just like that

[collapse]

About the plot, I give it 5 stars too. It shows that the author was very meticulous with it, she took care of details and she planned it a lot. I never got bored, since something was always happening, there was drama everywhere. Yet I never got bored, or didn't understand or it wasn't clear enough or nonsensical.

For the pacing I give it 4 stars, because everything was very cool, but I didnt like how the author closed up thing, I felt it was so rushed, like she wanted to finish asap and left many plot holes for the side characters. You couuld also say it's an open ending for the rest, , , , and I dont like that kind of endings

Just gotta mention if you're not into slow burn, like REAL slowburn, you probably shouldn't read this, because it's more about politics, court drama, and revenge, than the actual romance, which starts veeeeery later on the story and it's really slow
