#i mean for crying out loud mdzs is not a story about ‘good guy wwx defeats the evil jgy and all is right with the world again’

[labyrynth]

*opens jgy tag*

“the difference between WWX and JGY is that JGY is straight-up evil. he isn’t a victim of circumstance or anything, he was just BORN dirty evil. he had so many options and he GLEEFULLY chose to murder little boys and girls.”

“(unlike WWX, who is NEVER selfish and is ALWAYS selfless and ALWAYS knows what’s RIGHT and WWX saves CHILDREN’S LIVES. how many children did jgy save?? NONE.)”

opinions on mxtx novels

I kind of just want to ramble a bit because I have read all three (svss, mdzs, tgcf) in the span of a few weeks and I have a lot of thoughts on my mind. Putting this under a read more because it’s going to be just long enough to be annoying to scroll past. 

the scum villain’s self saving technique (svss)

svss is like....bad.....but it’s really funny....but it’s bad......

I keep wanting to read fanfic of it. Because it’s bad and it could be better. And fanfic can make it better. But also because I miss its weird humour and the absolutely ridiculous set up of the whole story. 

Like....random guy ends up having to pretend to be a cool lord/evil villain and while trying to save his own skin he accidentally wins the support of most of the main cast because he is so oblivious. And then a sarcastic inner monologue over the whole thing??? Wtf?? That’s hilarious. Especially if you’ve read other transmigration stories (which I have....excessively). 

I definitely didn’t read it for the ships or plot. I read it for the humour. Like I think binghe and sqq have their cute points but....shits fucked up man. I just don’t ship like that. I’m too old for weird stuff like this. 

For now, I’ll read svss stuff for the same reason that I read subpar Korean webtoons - to get mindless enjoyment by suppressing my feelings of disappointment towards the bad parts. I honestly am still quite fond of it. There are so many scenes that made me laugh out loud. But it’s important to acknowledge what could be better. 

I could get deeper into my thoughts on this but eh. let’s move on. 

the grandmaster of demonic cultivation (mdzs)

This is the first one I read. I learnt about mdzs at least a year or 2 ago because someone I knew kept posting about it. So I watched the first episode because I had never given Chinese dramas a chance and I was like......”What the fuck is going on”. 

6 months later I found out that the ship in mdzs is canon and I was like WHAT??? CHINA?? YOU DOING THIS IN THE DRAMA BRO?? And no. They didn’t do it in the drama. But I was still intrigued. So I went to read the webcomic out of curiosity and I was like “oh this is cool, the ship is gonna be interesting” and then after a while I became deeply confused because a webcomic is just not the right medium to tell such a complex story like mdzs.

So I was like “damn do i have to read the novel? Do i have to watch the drama?”. I did both at the same time. What a ride!!! I had a great time!! It’s so freaking sad!! 

I like mdzs, I think the plot is really ambitous in an enjoyable way, and the main cast is fun. I also found lwj and wwx’s teen antics in the cloud recesses absolutely hilarious and adorable, especially on wangji’s side. 

I’ve seen this scene in a school playground somewhere.

Lwj and wwx have such an emotionally interesting set up for their relationship and I was really taken in by that. The bad stuff doesn’t get in the way of this, but I can’t ignore the bad stuff when I actually consider my journey of reading the book. Just don’t read mxtx sex scenes. Just don’t. Stay away. don’t read the bonus chapters either. Stay very very far away. Then your sanity will be preserved and you will be reading an excellently crafted story.

I am mildly upset (as much as you can be after reading a foreign novel for completely free in not so legal means) that it falls into these weird BL romance tropes (you know the word.......y***). I lose respect. If I consider the story with those scenes in it, the story loses its dignity, so I’ll just move on and pretend they never existed. 

either way.... Jiang Cheng....you my only ho... please find happiness. 

heaven’s official blessing (tgcf)

How lovely!!! Tgcf is a lovely story!!!! And there are no sex scenes to fuck it up!!! It’s great!!!! 

There were times in the novel that I felt like I was watching a ghibli film. It’s just wonderfully tearjerking and pure. The story is not as complex as Mdzs and neither is the relationship. But it’s a very beautiful relationship and it is absolutely wholesome and pure enough for me to have read all 700k words in four days. also....this video just fucks me up every time......pls watch it. 

Because of this, and because I know it’s MXTX’s most recent completed work, I got the impression that it’s coming from a bit more of a mature standpoint than the other two. I really like that. 

The plot isn’t perfect. They spent an awful lot of time running around in caves being confused. I don’t think it needed to be 700k to convey what it did, but I suppose it’s just nice seeing xl and hc having fun running around together. I do think it definitely needs a good bout of editing from the author to be in its true form.

My one anxiety is that obviously i can’t judge the impactfulness of dialogue or scenes in general because I have nothing else to go off of besides a fan translated version. And of course the guys behind it did really well, I really commend them but there’s always gonna be something. I also read it really quickly....With mdzs I had like 4 different options to choose from to enjoy the story so I would experience the scenes in real time and i would sob along with the characters. I didn’t cry reading tgcf....but if it was a drama I think I would. 

I’m going to wait for the animation to come out, and I’ll take my time with each of the characters and enjoy myself. I’m really looking forward to it. :)

MDZS ch.111 pt.2

this chapter is long and emotionally heavy, so i’m splitting this thing where i scream and you laugh at me in two, wangxian needs SPACE, so i’ll give them all tumblr HERE WE GO-

EDIT: they are talking about the “thank you” thing and this finally TERMINATES EVERY TRACE OF DISTANCE THERE MAY STILL BE BETWEEN THEM

NOW SEX, PLS

EDIT 2:

Wei WuXian grinned, “Sure, then let’s talk more about some other things, like…”

His voice lowered as he gestured with his hand for Lan WangJi to approach him, as if he was going to whisper something to him. Lan WangJi approached as expected. Yet, Wei WuXian reached out his right hand, lifted Lan WangJi’s chin, and bent down to press his lips onto Lan WangJi’s.

Only after a long time did Wei WuXian part the tiniest bit. Eyelashes brushing against each other’s, he whispered, “How is it?”

Lan WangJi, “…”

OMG SMOOTH WWX, SO SMU-SMOOTH 

SAY BYE BYE TO YOUR ASS-

EDIT 3: HE BROKE LWJ AGAIN

EDIT 4:

Before he could finish, Lan WangJi wrapped his hand around his neck. With rough motions, he pressed Wei WuXian’s head down, and the two started kissing again.

THAT’S HOW YOU DO IT. YOU TAKE HUSBAND AND... YOU TAKE HUSBAND

EDIT 5:

As he wished, Wei WuXian was pinned onto the ground and smooched for a long while. Suddenly, he exclaimed, “Wait, wait!”

Lan WangJi, “What?”

Wei WuXian squinted, “I suddenly have a feeling…”

*trembles, fingers crossed*

Woods, bushes, grass, forceful motions, intertwined tongues. It felt like deja vu. He thought for a while. It felt more familiar the more he thought about it. He concluded that he had to ask the question, and tried, “The hunt at Phoenix Mountain, the time I covered my eyes, Lan Zhan, you…?”

YES YES YES YES FINALLY THIS FINALLY!!!!!! LOOK, WWX USING HIS CLEVER BRAIN TO THINK ABOUT HIS OWN HAPPINESS

He didn’t finish asking. Lan WangJi didn’t answer either, but his fingers twitched slightly. The moment Wei WuXian felt something was off about his expression, he propped his upper body up with his elbow and pressed his ear onto his chest. As expected, he heard thundering throbs.

OMG SO SWEET ASKJFPAJFPEK HE KNOWS LWJ’S HEART WILL ALWAYS BE SINCERE ABOUT THINGS LIKE THIS AND HE KNEW TO CHECK HIS HEARTBEAT GUYS THIS IS TOO MUCH WHAT WILL I DO FOR THE REST OF THE CHAPTER

EDIT 6:

Wei WuXian, “You’ve had dirty thoughts about me ever since then?”

“…” Lan WangJi’s voice sounded muffled, “I, back then, knew I was wrong. Very wrong.”

NERVOUS LWJ IS MY NEW OXYGEN

Seeing how low Lan WangJi’s head was buried, almost as if he was reflecting upon his mistakes again, Wei WuXian scratched his chin, “Alright, stop struggling so much. Well, I’m beyond happy that you kissed me so early. It was my first kiss, after all. Congratulations, HanGuang-Jun.”

Lan WangJi suddenly looked at him, “First kiss?”

I’M STRUGGLING SO MUCH THROUGH THIS CHAPTER HOW CAN I READ IT WITHOUT WASTING MINUTES GIGGLING AND CRYING AND ADMIRING THE BEAUTY OF JUST SOME SIMPLE SENTENCES?!?!?!?!?!

EDIT 7:

His laughter was too loud, too unbridled. Finally out of patience, Lan WangJi pressed him onto the ground. Abandoning Lil’ Apple on the spot, the two rolled behind a shrub.

*trembles* hell yeah go lwj!!! aaah, i can already feel heaven descend on me!!

EDIT 8: 

As he kissed the firm abdomen and ventured down, a few thin strands of hair slid off his shoulders and teased at the dangerous area along with his soft, thin breaths. Lan WangJi seemed like he couldn’t take it any longer. He reached to grab Wei WuXian’s shoulder, but Wei WuXian caught his wrist instead, “Don’t move, I told you already. I’ll do it.”

*hyperventilation* IS HE GONNA BLOW HIM OH OMG-

EDIT 9:

He pulled off his hair tie to refasten his somewhat disheveled hair before bending down again. Lan WangJi realized what he wanted to do. With a slightly unsettled expression, he lowered his voice, “No.”

Wei WuXian, “Yes.” He gently took Lan WangJi into his lips.

[...] Wei WuXian moved his hand away and started to slowly suck on it. Lan WangJi, “You…”

Soon he was no longer able to say anything.

THIS IS

SO FUCKING SEXY, ASSERTIVE WWX IS MY NEW KINK (and lwj’s, i bet)

EDIT 10: lwj is so ready to snap omg 

EDIT 11: “I swallowed it.”

lwj’s mind: ............................................................. shit wow how his mouth did-

EDIT 12: 

Stripped to the waist, he put his arms around Lan WangJi’s shoulders, kissing the corners of his lips and the lids of his eyes, “Good boy, don’t be scared. Next time, when it’s your turn to taste mine, you’ll need to perform as good as this, understood?”

[...] Wei WuXian kissed him again, “Lan Zhan, I love you so much.”

Lan WangJi turned to him slowly.

Wei WuXian didn’t know if it was an illusion or not, but there seemed to be a layer of red over his eyes.

OH BOY OH BOY WWX DO YOU EVER CARE ABOUT YOUR BUTT

*theyaresofuckingperfectomg*

EDIT 13:

He thought he hadn’t had enough yet, adding, “Let’s forever be like this from now on, yeah?”

Suddenly, Lan WangJi flipped him over and forced him down onto the grass.

*takes a deep breath* TOLD YOU-

EDIT 14: you’re telling me it won’t go like this

wwx: are you sure it works like this?

lwj: don’t worry, i made research

EDIT 15:

Lan WangJi, “… Does it hurt?”

Arms clinging to him, Wei WuXian couldn’t help from shivering, holding back tears, “Yes, it’s my first time—of course it hurts.”

With this, he felt Lan WangJi grow harder within his body.

*screams incoherently*

EDIT 16: wwx is such a fucking tease, lwj unable to restrain himself, i love them!!!!

EDIT 17: of course, OF COURSE WE GET LWJ’S SIDE OF THE STORY NOW, AMIDST SMUT AND FLUFF. OF COURSE. 

*cries and sobs and goes hugging everybody*

On the way back to the GusuLan Sect, Lan WangJi bought a jar of ‘Emperor’s Smile’ from Caiyi Town.

The wine was fragrant. And mellow. It was clearly not of the pungent kind, yet his throat burned the moment it went down, on fire from his eyes all the way to his heart.

He didn’t like the taste, but he felt he understood why that person liked it.

i can feel my heart breaking into milions and milions of pieces. wow. wow it hurts so much! 

he went looking for a flute while drunk, OKAY CAN WE TONE DOWN THE ANGST I THINK MY HEART IS SERIOUSLY-

He couldn’t find it no matter what, when all of a sudden, he saw the iron rods that had been sealed away after being confiscated from the QishanWen Sect.

After he sobered up, a scar the same as the brand mark Wei WuXian received in the cave of the Xuanwu of Slaughter appeared over his chest as well.

*shuts up, lays down and stares at nothing*

EDIT 18: aaaand they’re back being sexy

EDIT 19: okay okay OKAY-

EDIT 20: OH WOW

EDIT 21: OMG LWJ IS SO WILD AND WWX IS REALLY, REALLY, REALLY ENJOYING HIMSELF

EDIT 22: WWX FUELING LWJ ON PURPOSE- B L E S S 

EDIT 23: OKAY SO HERE WE HAVE

wwx: that thing about having sex everyday, pretty please forget it

lwj: no

wwx: what you never turned me down before!

lwj thinks: *that’s because i turn you on*

lwj says: no *and smiles*

wwx.exe has stopped working due to mr. pure perfection smashing on him from inside and above

EDIT 24:

He gripped the grass with both hands, shouting hoarsely, “Then four days, how about once every four days? If not four days then three works too!”

At last, Lan WangJi concluded with resonating determination, “Everyday means everyday.”

EVERYDAY MEANS EVERYDAY 

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT NOW LET’S READ CHAPTER 112 NOW OR ELSE I’LL IMPLODE BADLY
