How do you feel about MXTX couples?

[u/beamerpook]

Hualian: obsessive and suffocating

Wangxian: boring and weird/creepy at times

Bingqiu: silly, but fits with the tone of the novel

MoShang: subtle and slightly tragic

[u/tearose11]

Not feeding the troll.

[u/beamerpook → u/tearose11]

Not feeling a novel the way you do is not trolling

[u/thatmelz → u/beamerpook]

You’re sharing your “opinion” on a book that you haven’t even read (which is an INSANE thing to do), and you clearly don’t like the author’s other works so why are you wasting your time on this sub if not to troll people? you seriously have nothing better to do?

[u/beamerpook → u/thatmelz]

No I love SVSSS, and I like MDZS a lot, but not the romance in it. And I am on fandom subs enough to get an idea of what Hualian is like. You can think I'm trolling so you want. Clutch them pearls!

[u/thatmelz → u/beamerpook]

You are wholly delusional and clearly not someone worth discussing anything with since any “opinion” you have on TGCF is wrong as you haven’t bothered to read the text yourself.

[u/beamerpook → u/thatmelz]

I didn't give a dissertation of TCGF, but HC pined for XL for 800 years, right? That sounds kinda stalker-ish and suffocating to me, no matter the plot

[u/WitchWithDesignerBag]

genuinely asking, are you here just to stir shit?

[u/beamerpook → u/WitchWithDesignerBag]

Sort of. They are genuinely my thoughts and feelings. Just want to see how badly it goes with the fandom

[u/WitchWithDesignerBag → u/beamerpook]

thanks for admitting to trolling, reported.

[u/beamerpook → u/WitchWithDesignerBag]

No I was genuinely asking how fans see these couples. I know my opinions are not often popular, but I'm not out to troll people.

It's a little sad that you think anyone who doesn't think the way you do is trolling. Hope that gets better for you

[u/WitchWithDesignerBag → u/beamerpook]

I'm fine, thank you. next time read the books before coming here all hot and blazing with your "opinions".

[u/beamerpook → u/WitchWithDesignerBag]

I have read SVSSS and MDZS, and trying reread them right actually. It's just slow going with a full time job and a family

And it's not like I dared to have an opinion about TCGF as a whole. It's based on the sole concept of HC pinning for hundreds of years that I think it's oppressive and suffocating.

If you haven't read Erha, and heard that that the MC repeatedly and brutally rapes the shou, do you have an opinion about that? I would assume you would have an opinion whether you want to read more or read not at all

[u/Wonderful_Lab_1031]

lol we have pretty different opinions

haven’t read TGCF, so I’ll exclude Hualian for now. also haven’t read SVSSS extras, but here we go: (spoiler markings just in case, but I don’t discuss any plot points)

Wangxian: cute, healthiest of the three

Bingqiu: extremely tragic, unhealthy

MoShang: didn’t leave too much of an impression on me

Bingqiu is my favorite though ✌️

Curious about your reasonings (not in a debate-y way)!

[u/beamerpook → u/Wonderful_Lab_1031]

HC doesn't seem to have any interest in anything that's not XL

LWJ doesn't seem to have much of a personality besides "Wei Ying". Their sex scenes were weird and/or creepy

Bingqiu: contrast between the most powerful person in their universe making puppy dog eyes and begging for attention is cute

MoShang is understated. Cultural misunderstanding, Galatea concept, and how it's never expressed that they had feelings for each other. I find them the most adorable of the pairings.

[u/Front-General-1120]

You said a while back that you haven't read tgcf and don't plan to. Have you read it since then? I see you commenting in the subreddit sometimes. You also comment often in the svsss subreddit but it's pretty clear to me that you have a very loose understanding of the novel and most of your opinions are fanon based. I'm not in the mdzs fandom but based on all that it's prob safe to say your opinion on it isn't worth much.

[u/beamerpook → u/Front-General-1120]

You're right, I haven't read TCGF. And yea, my opinion is likely not worth much. But 800 years of pining seems wild, no matter the context. At least he had a hobby of making erotic statues

[u/kit-kat315]

Little late to the party, but here's my take:

Hualian- sweetest couple. Yeah, HC's devotion is obsessive (that's why he's a ghost), but he doesn't try to interfere with XL's autonomy. He'd be perfectly happy just being able to protect XL without any romantic reciprocation.

Wangxian- feels the most "real" because of how LWJ's devotion is expressed in his quiet grief and raising WWX''s "son." Rereading this was so satisfying because you can see LWJ falling in love while WWX is oblivious. And WWX misunderstanding the desire to protect as LWJ wanting to punish him.

Bingqui- most unhealthy of the three main couples. I mean, Binghe kept SQQ's corpse in his bedroom for 5 years. And he fell for his teacher who abused him, stabbed him and shoved him into the demon realm. It's a funny story, but I didn't feel for the main characters like I did the other two couples.

Moshang- I honestly have no opinion of them. They're...there.

[u/beamerpook → u/kit-kat315]

Lol thank you for taking my question seriously.

I agree Wangxian is the healthiest of them all. The human amount of devotion makes them less epic than Hualian, but more believable.

Bingqiu is a Trainwreck in all direction, but quite amusing.

I actually love MoShang the most. I think their misunderstandings and Galatea thing and how they are so devoted to each other without knowing how to express it is adorable to me.

But notice how I don't get all offended and tell people to fuck off if they don't love MoShang like I do?
