Week 19 of the "Lang Ya Bang" book club, chapters 74 - 77. This discussion will draw to a close, and the next session will open, on September 12th.

I'll be doing a weekly post with thoughts on this community. Feel free to join in/discuss. If you'd like to join the Discord, contact [personal profile] superborb for an invite.

SPOILER POLICY: I personally don't give a fuck or even like to give unearned credence to the concept, so since I'm writing the post, anything's fair game.

(If anyone is interested in [community profile] dankodes running further poetry content during or after NiF, please let me know what you'd be keen to discuss. I'm happy to work with you on that. I'll probably ask this again once NiF draws to a close.)

I like that it's somewhat ambiguous if MCS has prior knowledge of the instruments.

Yeah, the book is… slow. I definitely prefer the drama’s storytelling so far, but mostly because it knew what to do with the source material.

I was also waiting for Nihuang to show up haha, but I enjoyed seeing the tension between MCS & JY play out, and Shen Zui as an outsider’s PoV to their relationship.

It seems more subtle in the book than in the show, but maybe that's because you don't need as much time to remember all the characters from appearance.
