- ppl wanna write Book LWJ and Book LBH as brick houses but (at least in translation) the tree-jump scene is p clear on LWJ still primarily looking like a scholar, and this adult LBH is still 'a little taller than him, slender and willowy'. (MXTX has a Type I guess)
MXTX, leaning into the mic: lesbians, tho--
- ah, here we get what aeriallon points out is an Extremely MXTX thing: 'having someone come in, say shit, OBVIOUSLY be themselves, and then having the narrative go: IT WAS NING YINGYING!! like we are supposed to be surprised'
- SQQ: I really really really need to get the fuck out of here to do plot business--but what if my students are mildly inconvenienced in my absence?!?!
- 'The shop became a chaotic battlefield. To the side, Shen Qingqiu saw an old cat lazily curl its tail, licking its fur in the sunlight; he picked it up with a single hand and tossed it into the tavern. Surprised, the old cat screeched and darted back and forth between the two camps of people. Shen Qingqiu lowered his head and followed it, slipping into the circle of battle.
Another person had mysteriously pushed inside, and both sides paused. Afraid to harm an innocent, Ning Yingying hesitated slightly. But the Little Palace Mistress didn’t have so many reservations: picking her whip back up, she kept fighting as before. Shen Qingqiu chased the old cat back and forth through the hall, calling the name he’d given it on the spot. In the chaos of battle, despite Ning Yingying clearly having her hands bound, afraid to make a careless move, she kept feeling as if first someone was lifting her elbow, then like someone was pushing her shoulder; it was as if even without her moving her sword, it still danced, throwing off silvery light. Suddenly, with two smacks, the Little Palace Mistress held her face, dumbstruck and petrified, frozen on the spot.'

- The pacing circa the self-destruction is really breakneck, and the explication could be better. It's engrossing, but should have sounder infrastructure. This may be the translation, in part.
- "The person in the corner said, confused, “I can no longer understand what’s going on with this master-disciple pair, and those two sects.”
“A grudge as deep as the sea is one explanation, but there is another kind of explanation, and this old Lu thinks this kind is more believable. Let me tell you all…” Lu Liu was just about to launch into enthusiastic gossip, when suddenly, a burst of knocking sounded outside the door."
she is serving GREAT gravedigger low-comedy/greek chorus scenes, alas poor Yorik
- pour one out for random demon Six Balls, literally the second person SQQ speaks to in his new body, who by virtue of existing too near SQQ for 5 whole seconds has to hear all the fuck about Luo Binghe&how amazing he is.
"He asked, “The important person you’re talking about, was it… a good-looking young man?”
He thought for a while, then decided against suppressing his conscience and changed his words. “Not just good-looking, he’s very good-looking, especially good-looking. Fair skin, pretty face, tall; he doesn’t smile often, but when he does it’s very dark.”
Six Balls shook his head, then suddenly blushed."
ABSOLUTELY not paid enough for this
- 'It was only her nails and didn’t hurt in the least, but Sha Hualing’s blood at once went cold. She shouted, “Who’s there?!”
If there was someone here who could cut her nails with ease, then they could effortlessly cut her neck too.
Shen Qingqiu was feeling much more relieved; he released a twig plucked clean of leaves.
In truth, he’d just wanted to scare Sha Hualing a little, and while he was at it, having her nails so long wasn’t good, really. Every time Shen Qingqiu saw he was worried they’d break; it made him extremely uncomfortable. And they would often scratch Luo Binghe’s back into a bloody mess… Even if Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky liked this kind of hardcore flavor, even if Luo Binghe’s healing ability wasn’t human, it still didn’t mean these were proper and healthy lifestyle habits, right.'
*I* am not paid enough for this???
- HEY Liu PoorPedagoge actually did work for once! it's Yang Yixuan, the disciple he wasn't going to teach, back again! being taught!
