SJ's fangirl? It is a mystery. But in practice that thread seems to have been one of the victims of the reshuffling necessitated by Emperor Xi going full puritan Socialist Realism.

Was referring to the invariably reactionary cultural policing authoritarian rulers regardless of nominal ideology are universally prone to. The PRC hasn't been "socialist" outside formal boilerplate nobody believes in for decades now.

It looks like Mo Xaionan's plot threadd was dropped in mid-gallop, so what we know at this point is just:

Mo begged SJ not to go meet QT,

SunJing was visibly bummed the next time she saw Qiu Tong, but got over it as soon as she saw her bae.

Mo was visibly upset with Sun Jing the next time we saw her.

All signs point to "she confessed, was shot down, and is now hurting over it." But the plot just kind of jumped tracks to Sun Jing and Qiu Tong dating and being flirty, possibly because the author needed the WAFF injection to deal with an oppressive government. (Or maybe as a fuck you to her publisher, who apparently wouldn't publish her book because it was explicitly romantic?)

Am I alone in this? When ever we find our lead has a distant relationship with their parents I want to throw an arm around the parents, point at their offspring and with watery eyes scream "but dat's yo bebe!" Bonus if my intervention alone solves all their issues. ^________^

Well, the “mostly absent but not dead or actively estranged parents” thing often isn’t about their relationship with the main character, but just a way for authors to clear the plot decks so the young characters can do things and go places without constantly getting (or worrying about getting) parental permission.

But yeah, when it’s actually a thing that matters, it’s sad.

Yeah. I noticed and figured that was probably the reason. As a by-product it may have made me all the more curious about parents.

i know i'm late on this but damn! i was wondering about her since we last saw her. i would hope to see some resolution or closure for Mo at least. but that may never happen. :(

Yeah, Xi is basically positioning himself to be Emperor, and the worst thing is that the Chinese people as an aggregate seem fine with him undoing the laws that were put in place to prevent another situation of a singular Mao-like figure from doing exactly what he's done. I mean, his moral views are now dictating what's acceptable.

But then, to me at least, what sums up the issue with China as whole is this: "An antiquated society with modern money."

And I think this is best represented in the fact that the growing upper and upper-middle class is a key driving force behind the poaching of animals like Rhinos and Tigers- because the horns of the former and the organs of the latter are ingredients in "potions"- or the fact that Chinese entrepreneurs are building water parks and hiring people to capture Orcas for them, even as America and Canada are banning the practice.

I think the only hope that this goes back to being a proper narrative-driven yuri series is if the author is able to find some kind of off-shore proxy to upload her comics to.

I feel SJ is kinda me sometimes hahahaha, but The only thing is that i’m way smaller xD more like QT height kinda. End up reading and then shower when it’s very late, but thank god i live alone and can shower whenever i want without bothering people(๑╹ω╹๑ )

Romantically, sure, but I could totally see QT and Dwayne Johnson being besties. He's just so goddamned personable.

You have inspired me

Beautiful... just.... beautiful...

I can relate with Sun Jing on this one.
As a matter of fact I am doing the exact same thing right now!

So cuuuute

Can't believe that Mo Xaionan's thread got cut off. Even if it was like 1 chapter of her getting rejected, I would have been fine with that. Maybe they could have been friends. :(

Mo Xaionan

I've been watching too much Famana... When I saw this name, my mind instead showed me Mo Xon (almost immediately renamed to Moxon)

This chapter is the most hilarious thing I've seen since returning home from the school trip, and that's an extremely high bar to cross.
