And I've mentioned before in reviews of the previous volumes that the romance element between them wasn't really working for me, and I think as of now it's entirely dead. It’s like all the problems I had in the previous installments decided to be highlighted; from the comedy to the slow pace to the lack of development of the characters. He has to be the strongest; every time Xie Lian laughs off a hurt or a pain, turns away and ignores an insult, Hua Cheng burns with the cold, lethal desire to avenge him. He's just so hilarious (that doesn't mean I forgive him for being misogynistic) and his addition to this expedition was a nice surprise. There are mountain spirits, the mystery of the ancient Kingdom of Wyuong and it’s crown prince, a crown prince whose story seems step in step with Xie Lian’s own fate, and mysterious rumblings of what befell that lost prince.

My favourite things about this volume: Hua Cheng being his gremlin self, Quan Yizhen and Yin Yu's backstory, Quan Yizhen confirmed neurodivergent, the Rain Master's epic entrance, the very brief fengqing moment at the beginning, Qi Rong trying to be a good dad, and of course my favourite, Pei Ming being left to die by the others several times.

Mo Xiang Tong Xiu (MXTX) is a globally renowned and New York Times’ bestselling author whose works are often cited as the most well-known of the modern danmei genre. In the middle it started dragging a little bit because I had a feeeling eveything is happening so slow and that the story just doesn't make any progress at all. Hua Cheng rebukes anything negative towards Xie Lian and even comforted him when Xie Lian was questioning his reality. We have de-aged Hua Cheng and if that's not the cutest sight then I don't know what it is (Dianxia agrees with me!

All of our books are 100% brand new, unread and purchased directly from the publishers in bulk allowing us to pass the huge savings on to you! A new ghost king isn’t anything to Hua Cheng, but if Xie Lian wants to take a walk and see Mount Tonglu, Hua Cheng will be right there with him to make certain every ghost he comes across bows in proper obeisance. Hints have been made before about his endurance, his willingness to eat anything knowing it can’t kill him … but it’s stated more baldly here than it has before.

His heavenly powers are weakened near the cursed mountain, but he has one trump card on his side--Hua Cheng, who has survived Mount Tonglu before.

First off, I thought it would be so tragic if Jun Wu, the state preceptor of Xianle, and White No-Face are the same person. His heavenly powers are weakened near the cursed mountain, but he has one trump card on his side–Hua Cheng, who has survived Mount Tonglu before.

I know I shouldn’t compare but, if you have read Mo Dao Zu Shi (Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation), we both know the author is more than capable of making the best character arcs (Lan Wanji’s)-and using less volumes for that. The bestselling LGBTQ+ graphic novel about life, love, and everything that happens in between: this is the fifth volume of the Heartstopper series. By vol 3 something had happened where it no longer was a casual read, and I became strongly invested in not just Hua Cheng and Xie Lian, but all the characters.
