Meng Xi shi, for all she put shen qiao through in TA, is AFRAID in peerless. not ONCE does she put those men put through the real ringer, like yeah this is the whole premise of the novel, that they're literally the best, but there's no real risk! At the end of the day I *know* they're going to be fine with zero consequences. And whatever consequences they do suffer are quickly sped through so you don't really have the time to suffer with them. Give me a devastating emotional loss. It doesn't have to be physical, it doesn't even have to really be a loss but make the price for the win fucking outrageous. Otherwise how can I accept that they're human? If I don't go with them through the best and worst of their journey? I dare you, author, to humanize these gays for me
#warning spoilers in the tags#what if fx had that gu fr#mxs was AFRAID#cui buqu was totally on board to trade some commoners lives for fx's safety#like I wanted to see that!! him being pushed to the max#separated from feng xiao#having to be the one to save him and the only one who could do it at that#like in the caves!#going against the clock#constantly afraid and in danger cause fx is the only strong enough to really protect him from their enemies#knowing his at the mercy of xiao li and tuan qinghe#I guess this'll happen anyway just not with this added risk#but I thought the prison scene was kind of meh for pulling this stunt#it gave a venturi x cullen final fight in breaking dawn vibe#peerlessramble#wushuang

Idk if it's the translation but in later chapters, the characters do seem to be all over the place. Not that peerless' focus point was ever in the antagonists but the villains are way too dumbed down in front of the protagonists in later chapters, even looking like the author had run out of ideas on how to make the characters look competent. This is par for the course in a lot of danmei so it's not like it's unreadable or anything, but I did get used to the inicial quality of the text and now.. it's just sad to see such a good story suddenly hit a plateau like this :(
#peerlessramble#the love story part of the book is still the same though#bit this just points out how the author may not know hoe to make cui buqu and feng xiao look interesting withou the other#which is a shame!! because they're so interesting on their own. she is obviously hesitant to elt the characters spend time apart#bit it's by separating them that we can learn more about them#see what other characters might bring out of them#that is to say that I think feng xiao's lurking presence in the beggining of guangqing arc is to the detriment of the story.#if memg shi xi really wanted to she'd make cui buqu be interesting even without fx there#or maybe she wasnt able to because of popular demand idk#ultimately it's fine and I'm gonna read it anyway but#it could be better!!!#jesus I type like a troglodyte#wushuang

Even if it was genuine, Feng Xiao wouldn’t be the genuine one.
