Heaven Official's Blessing: Tian Guan Ci Fu (Novel) Vol. 1

Product Information

Don't get me wrong, I love that other piece, but (this is my personal opinion) it pales in comparison to this one.

Although I'm a newbie when it comes to reading shounen-ai/yaoi novels, but I think that should've happened at least, right. Lang Ying, Ban Yue, Pei Su, Lang Qian Qiu - all promising characters that are treated as afterthoughts. The male lead is okay, typical almost, if I get past the fact that he waited 800 years for his loved one while making statues of him, he is indeed likeable when he talks with our MC. Its another novel by the author of the Founder of Diabolism and The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System! They don't feel like equal lovers, HC obviously worships XL to an unbelievably amazing degree while XL only knew he existed from only a while ago (Is this obsession?more>> MC is an typical hero (similar to WWX) who always tries to do the right thing, but sometimes fails because that's just how life works. Added to the fact that Hua Cheng has effectively worshipped (or if you look at it differently, stalked) Xie Lian for 800 years, I couldn't help but understand Feng Xin and Mu Qing when they said that it's actually kind of creepy.

Every time the story tried to make me feel bad for the unfortunate MC, I ended up wanting to laugh instead, at best. Most of it was just the ML flirting with the MC, which you may like if you like this kind of stuff, but I really didn't enjoy it. Along for the ride are two of Xie Lian’s former friends-turned-gods; the three of them, too, shared a complicated history, that is slowly being mended in the present.

But the Heavenly Officials are not all virtuous, and being good is not exactly a prerequisite to get into the heavens. There were also some tropes used more than once for different characters and the repetition felt less like foreshadowing and more like, well, recycling.

Unfortunately, his appearance in the mortal world only amplifies the conflicts between his people, and their desperation leads to the dramatic and abrupt downfall of Xianle, as well as the downfall of Xie Lian. One moment I'm screaming my sister to insanity from the fluff, and the next I'm curled up in my bed sobbing my eyes away. Even when he promised to take care of Yang Ling, he never paid one ounce of attention to the kid until HC disguised himself as him. Not to mention that the characters betray each other every 5 minutes; you can't trust anyone unless they.If anything, they should start out with HC as this overprotective follower and have a dysfunctional relationship, and end up with XL teaching HC that he is able to do things and doesn't mind doing them, and that HC can live a life outside of him as well. The five stars is purely based on the english translation thus far, and not on the original chinese novel that should be reviewed on jjwcx instead, as the quality of the writing and translation is evident. The two have a long discussion about gods and ghosts, before being interrupted by ghosts along the forest path. And then we get to the final confrontation, which has our MC, ML, and MC's two friends face off against literally the most powerful being in the freaking universe.

Her second novel had a lot of interesting characters (i could read 300 more chapters of the MC and ML just doing nothing) and a complex plot that was deftly handled. I thought it was cool how sometimes "doing the right thing" is never clear, or how you can try your best, and still f*cking f*ck everything up.

On his first task as a god thrice ascended, he meets a mysterious ghost who rules over the ghosts and terrifies the Heavens, yet, unbeknownst to Xie Lian, this ghost king has been paying attention to him for a very, very long time.
