Danmei Society for the Egregious Misuse of Chinese Poetry and Literature

ONCE AGAIN, excaliburedpan and I both happen to be reading the same formerly danmei but then hastily rewritten to be plausibly-deniable, while remaining, in all emotional senses, still 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 174 novel chapters.
