#maybe there was a vocal readership that heavily misinterpreted her books

[mxtxfanatic]

Svsss is the only mxtx novel that I’ll give people some (a tiny bit) of leeway for their misinterpretations, cause you really don’t be catching shit until you reread and have a “wait a minute…!” moment. The official English translation definitely made things easier, but for a lot of places where I had come away with one interpretation in my first read with the fan translation, the official… didn’t actually differ from it too much. I simply was too caught up in the story the first time around to catch the places where the narration was purposely misleading me, particularly about Shen Qingqiu’s character and motivations. If there was any mxtx book I’d say you have to read multiple times to get, it’d be svsss.
