I don't know if this will be interesting for anyone, I get quite wordy, just need a place to go "AHHHHH" and to resist rambling in a spoilery way at![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

So! Heavens Official Blessings/Tiān Guān Cì Fú is a Chinese m/m novel by Mò Xiāng Tóngxiù/MXTX, author of The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation and Scum Villain's Self Saving System. It's her most recent work, and the main things I knew going in were that there's no explicit sex, and that it's much angstier than the other two.
I was putting off reading it until I felt up to some angst. "On the upside," I thought, "While Chinese government censorship is appalling, and MXTX is allowed to have her kinks I find triggery, at least these won't be so much of them in this story."
I vastly underestimated the determination of a Chinese smut writer in the face of censorship lol.
I really enjoyed Book 1 but am having complicated feelings about Book 2, thus the need for a place to go AHHH. I started writing this at about chapter 80, near the end of Book 2, but am going to divide these posts by Book, to help others avoid spoilers.
And under the cut: SPOILERS for Book 1, chapters 1-57
( Reactions to Book 1 )
