I’m trying to find any redeemable qualities that make me feel better for the time I spent reading it. I could have put it down, but the raving reviews made me think that it would get better.

It didn’t.

I loathed it. With passion.

    I didn’t hate it. I liked it. I didn’t love it tbh and was disappointed because it had been overhyped in my opinion.

    I think R.F. Kuang is a glorious writer if 1/ you like worldbuilding and extensive exposition and 2/ you don’t mind messy and underwhelming endings.
