Small thread about #MoDu #SilentReading #默读 and why everyone should read it. Whatever I write here still doesn't really convey all of my feelings about this novel but I tried 
Plot. It's an amazing crime novel with lots of mystery, suspense, sudden turns that keep you on your toes the whole while. What I love that by the end there is no questions left unanswered, and every detail is very well-thought-out
Humour. Priest's humour is always my favorite, because it's of the smart kind. It's everywhere: in descriptions, in the way people talk, in single events. Sometimes you can chuckle thought the whole page because every sentence there is funny, but it's never dumb comedy
Love. The main couple's relationship is really my favorite out of all danmei I've read. Love-rivals turned into an old married couple. The pacing and development is perfect, their interactions through the novel made me laugh, cry, have heart palpitations, smile and then cry more
What I esp liked is that one of them is openly gay and another is openly "interested in humans" (c) so there isn't any awkwardness or suffering about that. The couple's flirting, constant banter, teasing mixing with deep caring are all top notch. They love each other and me them
Luo Wenzhou. My favorite, I have no words to describe how much I love him. Crime investigation team's Emperor Father with a bit of a big ego but incredibly caring and sweet. The way he interacts with his team and Fei Du is the sweetest but always funny as well
Fei Du. Super rich and super smart young CEO with heavy and tragic childhood, and good understanding of criminal minds. Deserves all of LWZ's care and love. And yours as well, pls love him.
Side cast. A bunch of people that you'll love. Lang Qiao, crime investigation team's princess, brave and funny. Tao Ran, the original love interest for both heroes, sweet and kind. Little Glasses, awkward and cute. LWZ's parents. A cat.
A CAT. LIU YIGUO IS THE BEST CAT EVER. In cat's mind it calls the owner "litter-box attendant", also it has wine addiction, what more do you need to love it!!
Translation. Translator did an AMAZING job, it's so obvious how very well-thought every word is. Chef's kiss. Here is link btw http://edanglarstranslations.com/modu
In the end, warnings! Since it's a crime novel it's very warning heavy, so check those out before reading. It includes murder and gore, suicides, child abuse, child prostitution, drugs, psychological abuse, animal abuse and other heavy things. No romantization though!
In a year and half of reading danmei this is the first novel since MDZS that made such an impact on me, so I will promote it to anyone who'd listen! PLEASE READ MODU!!
PLEASE READ MODU!!
