realizing on book 3 of tgcf that i actually don't enjoy it.....tragic
#maybe its just cause i read book 1 last summer and book 2 a month ago but#it feels like there isnt something tying it all together or an overarching plot??#like with mdzs we have the corpse mystery that goes from like chapter 1 to the guanyin temple#and the story of how wwx becomes the yllz and dies interspersed with that#and with svsss what holds it together is pidw and the divergences from it & the system point total stuff#i guess tgcf is just missing that glue for me?#is it just the rise and fall (and rise and fall and rise) of xl?#if mdzs' only overarching Thing had been the rise and fall of wwx it would have been less good i think the post-resurrection plot rly#also ties that together#which is why i liked the untamed a lot less#30 straight episodes of the rise and fall of wwx#anyways maybe there is some glue that i just forgot about because i read the books some time apart from eachother#but i pulled multiple all-nighters reading mdzs and svsss online (yes i subsequently bought all the books)#i couldnt put them down#but i just cant pick tgcf up#maybe it's cause sqq and wwx were more fun to read?#idk idk#but then also it could be because tgcf is much longer so book 3 is really not that far into the story#from what i hear the themes are interesting! i liked the ghost groom mystery in the first bit! but it just isnt doing it for me#it just feels like a bunch of one-offs that aren't Connected except for being about the same characters#anyways i'm not gonna bother buying the rest its 2ha and yuwu season in this house#area woman posting
