WWSQD “What Would Shen Qiao Do”? Oh A-Qiao, you beautiful-beautifully created character of Meng Xi Shi, show us the way to not give our inner demons power over us. 🤩

Thousand Autumns vol 2

8.5/10

The sell: Good boy sickly Daoist master Shen Qiao is going out into the world trying to do good. To live his life. However. The Demon sect leader Yan Wushi can’t leave him alone and is bringing his fave good boy to torment into the drama. Lots of political things but!!!! I really enjoyed how hilarious Shen Qiao just accepted everyone outside of him and Yan Wushi see them as a loving queer couple. I did laugh several times. But in private they are rivals making eachother grow. I enjoyed Bai Rong as a crazy hot bitch. And!!!! Of course we have the baby. 💕 my main problem with volume 2 is I feel like a lot of the book is going over my head and I am keeping notes as I do. Marking important scenes and when Yan Wushi shows up with his bullshit. But so many people…. So many sects… confusing brain small. Now I don’t want to spoil anything. But let me show you some of my fave bits out of context

Best shipping moment

Slay!!!!! Shen Qiao dropping a quote I love.

Okay you need to read this book for this tiny baby boy baby. Why is there not more fan art of Shen Qiao smiling with the baby. I need it. You need it.

💕💕💕

How much do I love this scene. Just proves why we love Shen Qiao good boy raising a baby 💕

I think Shen Qiao read the same book 'How to be a good Shizun' as Shen Qingqiu and Chu Wanning because the first rule seems to be: pat your disciple's head as often as posible to show him he's a good boy.

Book Depository can go screw itself

I have just cancelled all my SevenSeas pre-orders through Book Depository.

I have used BD for years, and they've provided good service on the whole. But I got fed up after three pre-orders were cancelled by them.

In each case, I ordered months and months in advance, eagerly anticipating the release of each book. The book's publishing date came - and sure enough, it was listed for sale on the website, but my pre-order was listed as "awaiting publication".

When I asked why the title was listed for sale where my pre-order hadn't been honoured, I was given a bullshitty politician's non-answer.

It smacks to me of dishonesty. I mean, if I pre-order something, I am paying in good faith for something to eventually come to me. By placing a pre-order I am a) handing over money to BD's account where it accrues interest and b) gives them an idea of how many volumes they need to get order the publisher for distribution. For the privilege of this, they charge a greatly reduced sum; the cost of the book when it is listed for sale on the publishing date is often a lot more expensive.

So actually, this whole business of not honouring pre-orders also seems to be a price and money-gouging exercise. I suspect they deliberately don't fill pre-orders in order to force those who have pre-ordered to order the full-priced item.

I'm so disgusted.

Seeking other distributors who will send to my location. (Which also sucks, because it's not mainland USA and is often $$$ to send to.)

WARNING: Don't pre-order your SevenSeas danmei novels through Book Depository. Just don't. Find another distributor.

Feel free to share/reblog this raise awareness.

Ok folks what danmei do I read next??? I am reading the seven seas editions.

So far I’ve read (since March):

All MXTX, Erha up to vol 5, Remnants of Filth up to vol 3, and Thousand Autumns up to vol 2.

So far I think meatbun might be my favorite…!! I really like MXTX as well but I just adore how meatbun expresses the emotions of the characters and the ANGST. The more angst the better 😅

Thousand autumns so far has just been ok. I’m finding the plot very political and complicated and I don’t feel like there’s a ton of chemistry so far between the characters? They’re both interesting and I’ve ordered the rest of the series but it’s probably not my favorite.

I think I prefer a historical or xianxia setting, but I got a copy of the first vol of case file compendium to try it out since I like meatbuns other works so much.

What next????? Help a new fan out 😊

Thousand Autumns Vol 2, English edition.

“Perhaps the sheer despair had killed his heart completely or, perhaps, he simply had no interest in answering Yan Wushi’s question….Sang Jingxing watched their exchange, smiling….”

Thousand Autumns vol 3

9/10

The Sell: Demon boy is injured people believe he’s dead but!!! Good boy Shen Qiao won’t let that happen even after demon man has betrayed him over and over again. Demon man has spilt personalities that actually show affection for Shen Qiao.. maybe those feelings can live at the surface too? Plenty of adventure and travel along with the romantic journey. Politically shit is going down. It’s easier to understand than book 2 Also!!! This book has made me laugh but this time I cried multiple times

Okay here’s the quote photo review

Why does it matter what others think?! 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

Oh look who is watching every little thing Yan Wushi does 💜💜

Found ugly sobbing and it’s only going to get worse 🥹

Also why Xie Ling have to look at Shen Qiao with that much tenderness and all his tiddies out.

He’s such an Icon and a legend I wanna grow up to be a heartless demon lord.

You tell your husband the truth baby live your dreams and also cry with me

I screamed I threw the book I cried and that’s how you know it’s good folks

Also Shen Qiao gets to have just so many awesome fights his best one was holding and protecting the babies. He’s too perfect for this world gah
