damn that plot twist was worth it tbh

but. you mean to tell me.
the memories he had recovered won't last.
damn. GM can't catch a break at all. 

mightt continue to see if
MX will search for GMs lost souls
but I doubt it. I got what I wanted from this series.

Meatbun knows how to write characters going thru so much pain and agony, if nothing else. I admit I cried.

Twists and turns in abundance, and lots of heartache. Amazingly built the plot and characters up so much.

I kept having to put this book down because I was crying so hard. 

Dare I say it…I might be enjoying Yuwu even more than Erha. This volume was absolutely BRUTAL with the angst, and I’m in shock. Gu Mang deserves so much better, and I hope by some miracle Mo Xi can fix things. I just need them to be happy.

I love a book that becomes better and better the more you read. This volume is hands down my favorite so far. We finally really get to know the real Gu Mang and he is the most awesome character. Meatbun has written him so vividly that he feels like a real person, his characterstics are so defined and well-developed. He is just an absolute joy to read about. 
In addition, new plot twists are revealed, shocking and devastating alike. We are at a point where every character is suspicious. Secret motivations and underhanded deals are slowly coming to light and that leads to dramatic emotional reactions. 
I was deeply moved by the events of this book as it reminded me of a real-life injustice I witnessed and that made it even more heartbreaking. 
The biggest issue I have with this volume is the massive cliffhanger it ends on and the fact that I have to wait months to read the rest! What injustice!!!!!!
