The Husky and His White Cat Shizun: Erha He Ta de Bai Mao Shizun (Novel) Vol. 1

Product Information

Luckily for me, I apparently thrive on evil and morally grey characters and stories, so it hasn’t even slowed me down a little, but I can imagine it would make some people baulk. Those women who fall into neither camp are non-entities with little impact on the story regardless of their title within it. Ok, I was going somewhere with this review, I really did, but honestly I have no idea how to continue.

The author is also very good at writing scene descriptions, I could easily find myself perfectly imagining the scenary as it is being described in the novel, sometimes sounding almost poetic. Meanwhile, there is a large scale plot unfolding around the main characters, involving racial tensions between humans and demons, and ultimately the fate of the world.This time around, he doesn’t want to be evil, and so he decides to correct his mistakes and alter the course of history. Additionally, this story has no sense of moderation; if you have ever encountered the 90s phenomenon of labeling everything X-TREME! For example is when the author telling one thing, sometimes he will immediately cut the story without a warning and instantly turned into telling past. If you are looking for a story to suppress reality and embrace the wild, this may be the one for you.

The majority of the supporting characters did not have compelling character development or story arcs; the story is hyperfocused on its leads to the detriment of the rest of the (very large) .For all of its massive word count, it declines to explore the ramifications of many of the conflicts it goes to the trouble to set up while instead spending a great deal of time repeatedly attempting to create pathos regarding the central relationship - and for all the time we spend with the two leads, there is almost no sense of what they care about other than themselves and each other. The little, tiny things I didn't pay attention to eventually came to bite me in the ass later in the story (just like how Mo Ran's past came back to bite him in the ass, oof). Chu Wanning on the other hand is one of the characters from those QT novels that let the scum gong do anything and everything to them without even trying to explain that they're not at fault. Althought he'd thought himslef preprared, if he was honest with himslef, seeing that figure appear once before him, healthy and well, made him shudder down to the smallest fragments of his bones.

But that still doesn't change my mind so far, and this is a personal principle of mine that I stick to with the stories and characters I prefer more. Shizun was rather negative to their relationship- not really treating it as one (which could be explained with him having zero experience) and outright ignoring and running away from MoRan.

I know it's sad and tragic and horrible but sometimes I just want to laugh a little when Mo Ran is ranting about his hate toward Chu Wanning, when it's obvious he cares about him, and he did even then, no matter how insignificant that care was. The shark too massive for this story to leap over does not exist, and if it did, the story would find it and jump over it anyway. But alongside all that anger, disbelief, and sadness, the author's notes and mini theatres give you a piece of mind. When everything he has ever loved was taken from him, Mo Ran’s rage put everyone at his feet, naming himself emperor and killing every single one of his offenders. Cruel tyrant Taxian-jun killed his way to the throne and now reigns as the first ever emperor of the mortal realm.
