I need to talk about the pacing here because it's absolutely perfect. The author knows exactly when to slow down and when to let the scene breathe. Let me trace it for you. It starts with this casual, almost mundane scene at a dessert place. Li Li is chatting, talking about cosplay, about the tournament. It's low-stakes. You're just getting a sense of Shu Jia's world—her streaming career, her art, her social circle. Then Jiang Yuyu sends the screenshot. The pacing shifts immediately. The tone changes. You go from "oh nice casual hangout" to "wait, what is this photo" in one message notification. That's a masterclass in pivoting. Then the phone call with Jiang Yuyu—"You're in love, Shu Jia"—and suddenly the entire emotional temperature of the chapter changes. Shu Jia is sitting on her floor, soul leaving her body, remembering the first time she saw Zhou Dang. The author slows down here. She gives us the memory in slow motion: the beer, the rowdy atmosphere, the way Shu Jia was propping her temple, turning her head, seeing him. Every detail is deliberate. The white canine tooth. The peach-petal eyes. The wagging tail fantasy (which is honestly the most relatable thing I've ever read). And then—supermarket. Group scene. Chaos. Jiang Yuyu dragging everyone in. And just when you think it's going to be this big dramatic confrontation, the author does something brilliant. She scatters the group. Jiang Yuyu "creates an opportunity" by ditching Shu Jia. The friends split up. And suddenly it's just Shu Jia and Zhou Dang, alone, in the snack aisle. The pacing goes from fast and chaotic to slow and intimate in a single paragraph. The chapter ends with Zhou Dang saying "probably" when asked if he likes her. That's not a cliffhanger. It's something better. It's a quiet, almost understated moment that hits harder than any dramatic reveal could. And then the author drops these Weibo fan posts as an epilogue of sorts—hilarious, chaotic, and perfectly tonal. It leaves you wanting more without feeling like you're being manipulated.
Okay so let me just say—this arc where Jiang Chuyao comes back to school and the entire social dynamic FLIPS was absolutely delicious. The author set this up SO perfectly. Remember how Jiang Chuying used to be the golden girl, the one everyone pitied and protected? And Jiang Chuyao was the quiet one taking everything? Now? Now Jiang Chuyao walks in and the entire class is looking at her like she's some kind of legend, and Jiang Chuying gets zero greetings. Not one. The reversal is so satisfying it's almost cruel. But what really made this plot work was the layered reveal. Jiang Chuying comes back thinking she can just slide back into her old position, and the author slowly peels back each layer of her facade. First the classmates ignore her—that's the first crack. Then she tries the bathroom confrontation, playing the victim, and Jiang Chuyao just... dismantles her. In front of everyone. "She is the Jiang family's adopted daughter, having taken someone else's place for years." Boom. Just like that, the narrative flips completely. The subplot with the dance hall was a nice breathing room too—gave us a glimpse of Jiang Chuyao's life beyond school drama, and set up Tang Fei'ang as this charmingly greedy partner who's clearly up to something. I have a feeling that arc is going to pay off later.
The dialogue in these chapters is so sharp I want to frame it. Let me start with Princess Deng because her voice is absolutely unforgettable. She never says what she means. Not once. When Yuyang is ranting about Lichun, the princess responds with metaphors about fires and porridge. 'When putting out a fire, you must act quickly. Otherwise, the embers can easily reignite.' She's literally using household chores as political strategy. And then the line about the rat dropping—that's not just dialogue, that's a thesis statement for the entire plot. This woman speaks in riddles because she's always testing people, always seeing if they can keep up. Then there's Pei Du, and his voice is completely different. Short. Cold. 'Ridiculous.' 'Enough.' 'As long as you behave yourself, that's enough.' He barely wastes words on anyone. But when he talks to Xie Zhi, there's this weird rhythm to it—he asks questions, he probes, he lets her hang herself with her own words. 'Lichun, you've always been a clever girl. That's precisely why I wonder... what scheme you'll come up with next.' He's not accusing her. He's almost... impressed? There's a tone there that's hard to pin down. And Xie Zhi's voice—her internal monologue versus her spoken words—is the best contrast in the book. Out loud she's trembling, apologetic, submissive. Inside she's sarcastic, strategic, and wildly opinionated. 'Serves me right. Never speak ill of someone behind their back.' 'With how badly he thinks of me, when will my grand plan ever succeed?' The gap between what she says and what she thinks is where the comedy and the tension live. It's a masterclass in narrative voice.
I need to talk about Cao Bingkun's mom because I am SHOOK. Let me start with something else first—the Zhao Wenjie scene. This kid who can't make eye contact but gives Zhou Yuwei his entire collection because she's pretty? That's the sweetest thing I've read in a while. He's like, "He's not pretty, I won't give him any" and I just—how do you not melt at that? It's pure, unfiltered emotion from someone who doesn't know how to express it any other way. But then we pivot to Bingkun's house and the tone goes from warm to suffocating in three seconds flat. His mom wiping the photo of his dead brother, the silent crying, the way he kneels before she even says a word. I felt his desperation. And then the knife. "Will you promise me or not?" She's using his grief against him—his brother died, now he has to live his brother's dream. That's not love, that's emotional hostage-taking dressed up as sacrifice. The line that wrecked me was Bingkun's whisper: "I promise you everything." Not because he wants to, but because he knows if he doesn't, she'll actually do it. And he can't let that happen because then his sister and dad would never come back either. That last detail—like his guilt is so deep he'd rather die than cause anyone else to die—this is a character who is going to crack. I love him already and I'm terrified for him.
I am really enjoying the book but did you stop updating streaming in another world??
I just read the first chapter and even if it's enough to write a review I just couldn't read without say how the protagonist is interresting, many of the themes of this story will be insane I think
An incredible start with exceptional writing. I love how Ava's emotions are vividly expressed.Only two chapters are out, but I'm already in love with the concept of this novel.
This is a magnificient piece of madness, Miraculously mature yet merry. The story mercilessly keeps your attention, With a protagonist both moronic, murderous and monumentaly talented. Despite most of these first mouthwatering chapters being exposition, there is a meticulous understanding of how to keep every bit memorable. His Mighty Devilship's story might develop into something great.
This is a rewrite of my first novel! I hope you enjoy! This novel contains abstract concepts, super op characters, fighting, ruthlessness, unexpected outcomes, and evolution!
The novel was quite good with great potential. But the author really just had to make someone eat shit. I was eating some snacks while casually reading and just... only read it if you like seeing people eat shit.
Although still in its early phase the novel is good.
nice book. I'm also contesting for WSA , good luck (u2060ʘu2060ᴗu2060ʘu2060✿u2060)
