SVSSS Read Along

[x_los]

excaliburedpan and I both happen to be reading this danmei book at the moment, so I thought I'd throw up a post for any comments if anyone wants to read along now or later, and shove my locked-twitter read-along thoughts somewhere more accessible. I'm going to break it up by blocks of chapters, then do an Overall Thoughts subsection. Assume spoilers. 

There are 81 novel chapters, then Extras.

Start threads for the specific extras you'd like to discuss below.

Having just read the snake man backstory extras: We really need to have a larger conversation about MXTX use of the sins of the father/sons overcoming their fathers' faults/going through the same situations with different results? There's some very interesting multi-generational growth happening both with the Lans in MDZS and with Luo Binghe in this.

Yeah this is where I am in a way with my conduct fiction/moral novel bullshit, bc I think also in the same generation she'll stage reactions to events from different, defensible and DEFINED povs, like this is Extreme Filial Piety, this is Extreme Legality, this is Extreme Justice, this is Extreme Social Cohesion, and you're supposed to sort of read these simultaneously as character beats and as letting different strategies run the same scenario?
