The description of the sewer system as an underground society for rats is creative. The idea that rats have territories and tunnels built over generations gives the setting depth. It’s not just a generic sewer; it’s a kingdom of rats.
The internal monologue is well crafted. We feel his anxiety, his embarrassment, and his strong sense of duty. It gives the story a very grounded perspective.
The scene where he threatens the Blood Pupil ghost internally—“I can gouge out my own eyes”—shows he’s willing to sacrifice parts of himself. That level of commitment is scary. It also makes me wonder how much he’ll lose over time.
I’m a little annoyed at how quickly she forgave Zhong Li Yan after she tried to feed her to a zombie. Like, girl, have some self-respect. But I guess in a survival situation, you can’t hold grudges. Still, I hope she doesn’t become a doormat. She needs to stand up for herself more. The healing ability will probably give her confidence.
I'm genuinely curious about the father's last wish. The way it's presented is so vague. "Go to the Feng family and you'll know." It could be about the marriage, but maybe there's something else—a hidden legacy, a secret, or a mission. The fact that Jiang Hao doesn't know either adds to the suspense. It's not just a plot device; it's a personal quest for him. And seeing his father's photo and medal, you feel the weight of that legacy. It's not just about fulfilling a wish; it's about honoring a dead parent's memory.
