#EDIT: Tumblr published an earlier draft with only half the notes I wrote so: late entry on my JGY thoughts.
#Unlike the mystic powers of the stockmarket (what the OG meme is referring to) I think this situation calls for more active investigation.
#qin su is such a deeply tragic character to me and I really wish we got a bit more from her.
#Love everyone who sent me messages about her after the last time she appeared.
#I think she needs a spin off of her being a transmigrator SO badly.
#MDZS has so many interesting characters - but it sometimes fails to give them the proper room to really develop past a role in the plot.
#That's just the consequence of writing a story like MDZS. Not every character in a book *needs* to have a rich inner life and backstory!
#To do so would bog down the story and obliterate any notion of pacing. It's just not possible.
#Jin Guangyao (nee Meng Yao) is unfortunately not free from this leeway rule. He is the culprit of this murder mystery plot
#and thus NEEDS to encapsulate the themes of the book. And personally he's a 7 out of 10 at best on this front (in the AD).
#MDZS is about rumours twisting reality and working towards truth. And about how people & situations are rarely ever black & white
#JGY has his motivations. He's well written in regards to his actions making sense for his character.
#What started as good traits (drive to succeed & improve his image) became twisted over time (do anything to maintain his image)
#and it's a good parallel to WWX! He has the same arc (with different traits)! Bonus points for IGY in that regard.
#but man....by the time we confront this guy for murder there's not a lot of grey morality. He's just...deep in the hole *he* dug.
#There's a beautiful tragedy to it! More on JGY in later comics - this is getting pretty long already!
