^ recently read it, and it differs completely from any manga I have read. Chinese writers are really good at writing angst. I cannot go into detail without giving away spoilers, but everything is so meticulously thought-out and well-developed especially the characters. Has around 300 chapters.
This novel was a slog to get through. I liked the concept, but the execution... It had some really good moments, but it should have been at least a hundred chapters shorter. I remember spending an hour ranting to my friends about it when I finally finished it lol.
