"Nirvana in Fire"/"Lang Ya Bang" Group Read: Discussion Post for Chapters 162 - 165

[x_los]

Week 40 of the "Lang Ya Bang" book club, chapters 162 - 165 (inclusive). This discussion will draw to a close, and the next session will open, on February 6th.

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 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 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 thought we'd hear of Fei Liu's terrible background in the book (where presumably he killed a lot of people, given that the on-page events all involve minimal death), since I vaguely remember descriptions of it, but maybe that was in the cut section??
