🦞 - cant wait to start TGCF !!! everyone has been telling me that tgcf is more romantic than other mxtx books ... whats your opinion about it ?? and do you have any tips before I start reading it 😶

it is definitely the most romantic of the three mxtx series! personally it is my least favorite of the mxtx novels, which isn't a criticism of tgcf and is more just a matter of my own tastes lol I am too thoroughly svsss-pilled and also I found the pacing of tgcf kind of dragged in the beginning/middle. HOWEVER the last several parts of tgcf are fucking CRAZY and i enjoyed them a lot, so it's definitely worth sticking through it if you get bogged down in the pacing of the early parts. I found the ending very satisfying and it made me understand why people say hualian invented love <3

my number one tip is to keep track of names!! I could not remember ANYONE'S names in that damn series lol everyone has their birth name and their god name and sometimes they're referred to as the place where they're from and sometimes they have another title on top of that and then sometimes they just fucking LIE about who they are and it's so confusing. a friend of mine was keeping a spreadsheet of names while reading and that meant I occasionally got texts that were just "MY FUCKING SPREADSHEET" when yet ANOTHER identity reveal happened. it's great.

#asks #anonymous #also warning for the first book: racism :(#mxtx's classic dubious racist caricatures of central asian people #with the first couple books i like. enjoyed the characters well enough but wasn't super compelled by the story?#not the way svsss compelled me at least #with the exception of black water arc holy FUCK I loved black water arc #however. the last couple books. oh my GOD.#roughly starting at the arc that's xie lian's no good very bad first banishment #I was HOOKED #I could NOT put it down except sometimes i HAD to put it down because it was stressing me out so much #and basically from that point until the end i was clawing at the walls while reading it #god. thinks about the white clothed calamity arc and throws up #just when you think things cannot get any worse for xie lian. they do <3 and that is a PROMISE #anyway anon once you're done you need to send me your full reviews of each series!! I wanna know your thoughts #all three mxtx series are good and people are compelled by different ones for different reasons #i ended up liking svsss the most because the pacing was nice and snappy and i liked the humor and WOW these guys have problems <3 #but i know other people like the other series more for other reasons #like they like the political intrigue in mdzs more #or the romance in tgcf more #different tastes for different people! mxtx has got it all
