I got my girlfriend volume 1 of the Erha audiobook for her birthday and she’s listening to it now!!!    

She’s the kind of reader who listens to a book multiple times and hones in on little details, which she then starts intensely analytical conversations about. 💚 I’ve thus started rereading Erha in my own defence. Rather, I’m reading the 7S official translation for the first time. For a couple of years, I’ve been trapped in the dilemma of wanting to revisit the section of the fantl that was only available as MTL when I read it, but not super wanting to reread the first 4/5 of the story before that. (I’m not much of a rereader: vita brevis, TBR longa.)

My girlfriend, looking up character portraits on the Erha fandom wiki: “So this is Shi Mei, the love interest? Why is he so… demure and sad and delicate, hrmph.”

Me: 🤐🤐🤐

Then she asked who Xia Sini was and I told her to get the hell off that page because it was full of spoilers.

Turns out that if you reread Erha from the start, you discover that every single observation Mo Ran makes after his rebirth will be flipped upside down over the course of the book. 🍿

Also turns out that I love this book a lot.

It does amuse me that 4/10 readers are like, yikes! too much dogblood, I’m out! and 1/10 are like, not enough dogblood, I’m out! (Ilu @geraineon.) I’m happy to be in the lucky 5/10.

@villainousfriend @geraineon I still think my greatest accomplishment regarding 2ha was to make @dppunforth laugh at my thoughts on book 10
