Black Moonlight Holds the BE Script - Reviews

I recently read the novel after watching the drama, and one scene from the book that stood out (unadapted in the series) was when Ye Xiwu used magic to deliberately discomfort Tantai Jin, a character in the novel who exhibits masochistic tendencies, which were not portrayed in the show. In a poignant moment, Tantai Jin begged Ye Xiwu to hurt him, despite her intense dislike for him. To her surprise, Ye Xiwu, driven by her恨, took advantage of the situation without realizing Tantai Jin's true nature as a masochist. The scene depicted a tragic mix of hatred and self-loathing on both their parts, evoking deep sadness.

It's important to note that, although Tantai Jin may have appeared to derive some pleasure from the abuse due to his psychological state, I believe it was more a coping mechanism rooted in his Stockholm syndrome-like feelings towards Ye Xiwu.

However, what I found most satisfying in the novel's conclusion, particularly the additional chapter, was the resolution of their complex past and the answers it provided. It wrapped up the story beautifully.

Here's the rewritten passage in English:

"Just sharing my personal opinion, but I genuinely enjoyed this novel. However, I must mention that it might not appeal to those looking for a conventional sweet love story. The male lead (ML) displays quite abusive behavior towards the female lead (FL), so if this isn't your preference, I wouldn't recommend it. The story can be quite heart-wrenching, which is why I suggest it for those who enjoy intense love-hate dynamics.

In the early chapters, the ML struggles with understanding emotions, which adds an intriguing aspect to the plot. The FL doesn't fall in love with him when inhabiting YeXiwu's body, and they're unaware of each other's feelings. The romantic development is relatively slow in pace, in my view. The author's portrayal of the ML's character arc seems quite deep, as he eventually gets a happy ending – which readers can rest assured about.

If you're into悲剧 themes and complex characters, especially the 'scum ML' trope, I highly recommend giving this a read. Enjoy the emotional journey!"

This passage provides a balanced review, highlighting both the aspects that make the novel appealing and those that might deter some readers based on their preferences.

I deeply desire for this novel to be exceptional, as the concepts are strong, the characters captivating, and the narrative thrilling. However, I believe it falls short in terms of competent writing, preventing me from fully appreciating its potential. The plot development left me exasperated, as it seemed to endlessly revolve around an unchanging status quo. No significant growth occurred in the protagonists' connections post-midpoint, which is typically a favorite aspect of mine, particularly when it comes to the main character. Despite feeling同情 for the protagonist, my empathy waned with each chapter filled with unnecessary setbacks. I hold hope that future developments will improve the story's drama, as I am drawn to the initial concept. Unfortunately, my patience has run thin, and I cannot continue reading at this point.

Alright, I've noticed that some readers have gone beyond the latest chapter, and I'm utterly confused about how they accessed it. Despite enjoying the story, I can appreciate that the main character has principles and boundaries. It's understandable that she wouldn't forgive everything. The dynamics between the protagonist and the male lead (ML) are quite unusual. The ML appears to prioritize survival above justice, which might evoke sympathy due to his tragic past.

However, the revelation of his birth story left me disturbed, almost like a shark consuming its own siblings in the womb – a chilling scene. But even so, it doesn't justify his actions, as it highlights the subjective nature of good and evil. I must admit, I find myself in a contradictory position. Initially, I was disappointed when the MC didn't assist the ML, but I can see his dark side, which could lead to him embracing evil rather than goodness.

In a way, I was hoping that showing kindness to him without causing chaos might change him, but I realize now how hypocritical that thought is. This book might not be suitable for those with a sensitive disposition.

Overall, though, it's an engaging read. It's strange that no one questioned the character transformation, but perhaps that's part of the narrative. I ended up spending the entire night devouring the story.

I have read this numerous times and still can't get enough! Here's a breakdown of the novel arcs:

1. Chapter 1: Li Su Su
2. Chapter 2 to Chapter 38: Ye Xi Wu
3. Chapter 39 to Chapter 45: Clam Princess
4. Chapter 46 to Chapter 78: Ye Xi Wu
5. Chapter 79 to Chapter 130: Li Su Su

"I would rate it 3.5 stars. Although I appreciated the OTP's dynamic, even if it came with heartbreak and disappointment, the xianxia elements became repetitive and hard to follow. However, I am extremely enthusiastic about the upcoming drama adaptation featuring Bai Lu and Luo Yunxi. Luo Yunxi is an excellent choice to portray Tantai Jin."

Your translation is exquisite, and the narrative is captivating. The author skillfully crafts characters whose actions, even if unconventional or illogical, are always justified and comprehensible. FL initially behaves like an aloof immortal, naturally treating ML with disdain - at least from her perspective. The backstory provided for the ML offers a clear explanation for his erratic behavior, making every action seem perfectly coherent. The progression of their relationship, from confrontation to understanding, and the emotional journey they undergo together is truly delightful.

This tale is incredibly underappreciated! I can't comprehend why it only has a 3.7 rating! While on the quest for gold, I stumbled upon a true treasure! If you're a fan of romance novels with a blend of tragedy and comedy, then this is the perfect choice for you. Honestly, I found myself alternately crying buckets and laughing uproariously, until my cheeks were sore from emotions.

When I read the reviews, I initially had doubts about enjoying the book, but my expectations were proven incorrect. There were moments where I shed tears and experienced a deep emotional pain, yet the tender scenes brought immense happiness and laughter. Despite my aversion to abusive relationships, I appreciated how the story unfolded, and in the end, it left me satisfied. I wholeheartedly recommend this novel. The characters were multi-dimensional, though occasionally the female lead's actions seemed at odds with her personality, but overall, it worked well. The plot itself was engaging, and I truly loved it.

Ultimately, I decided to give this book a chance after coming across an intriguing synopsis. The protagonist easily tugs at one's heartstrings, while the可怜的 male lead elicits sympathy. As the story unfolds, their relationship improves significantly, but the lingering secrets pique my curiosity even further. I'm eager to delve deeper into the tale.

I genuinely despise this author because of the excruciating suffering the main character (ML) endured, it's shocking yet incredibly captivating. I can't stop reading despite my emotional distress, driven by an intense curiosity to see how the story unfolds. As someone who enjoys "Mary Sue" novels, this one had me in tears, longing for each new chapter that was essentially a form of torment. I would highly recommend this to fellow readers who find pleasure in the emotional rollercoaster that is masochistic storytelling.

"I didn't notice the tag! What a disappointment. Although I generally avoid tragic stories, this particular narrative completely held my attention. I couldn't help but finish it in one sitting. Their love story, though shrouded in tragedy, was undeniably breathtakingly beautiful - it brought tears to my eyes. I initially came seeking a tale of regret, but I found something far deeper and more emotional. It was like a roller-coaster ride of feelings that left me utterly moved. Absolutely worth the read. ?"
