"Mo Dao Zu Shi" is a high fantasy (Xianxia) mystery adventure and has three versions, as far as I know. I love how the story is so good it doesn't rely on the romance or love scenes at all. It has Asian folklore and traditions, great plot and engaging characters. In essence, it's about two soulmates meeting at the calm before a storm, fighting monsters, evil sects and society's judgments of right and wrong and eventually parting. They are pulled back together to solve mysteries linked to the past. It's rated PG18. It contains love scenes (between the male leads only) and gore (they fight monsters, so duh) and is definitely not for the faint of heart. But this is not my first rodeo and have read books that had uhm "harder" material but subpar plots. Besides, the humor and banter makes it a balanced roller coaster that will leave you crying one moment and laughing the next. This story is so good, it warranted a live (though heavily censored) drama "The Untamed" (available on Netflix but their translation is so-so), a manhwa (comic), a donghua (anime) AND my favorite a mini chibi series (basically cute mini anime that includes scenes in the novel that's NOT in the drama). But this GEM of a line is only in the novel (which I'm rereading for the umpteenth time. The confession scene is just on point I can hear all the fans slow clapping and standing up from behind our respective screens. Some with tears in their eyes and "FINALLY!" on their lips. No joke.) It's been awhile since I've read something warranting a rave this long huhu. (Last was Emma Leech's "To Tame a Savage Heart" and "Flaming June" both in Amazon Kindle. But recently, story wise, "Love and Redemption" also warranted a rave) and even then I don't think it's enough as I find myself both re-reading and rewatching the story. Definitely checking out author's other stories... After MDZS let's me go a bit (which won't be any time soon lol) . 🎨 @madeorganicallyshop watercolors on 📄 @cansonpaper 💎 #MoRest and #Moblique by @luis.creations #smbrodit #smbrodit_calligraphy #silverlinings #bookreview #smbrodit_bookreview https://www.instagram.com/p/CPA6E5Rnf80/?utm_medium=tumblr

Thank you ma'am Beth of @playcraftsph ! Throwback to this flourishing workshop. My calligraphy strokes are rusty as I haven't practiced enough... So faking it with pencil ahaha and reviewing the basic shapes as I refine my #morest cover design concepts... . . #smbrodit_calligraphy #smbrodit_sketches #smbrodit_designs https://www.instagram.com/p/CMwbDAvHNLB/?igshid=1bs4e2stkzeji
