Being late as ever to current trends, and having a resistance to actually watching things, I passed by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu's oeuvre, whether novels or anime, after a very brief dip ito both. But a tumblr post about Heaven Official's Blessing led me to believe there was a manhwa about that so I checked out our library system and put holds on the first volumes. Then figured if there was manhwa around, they must have done MDSZ as well, and put holds on those. Vol 1 trotted in today so I limped over (bad knee day, bad IT band day, crippled day, in short) to get it because it's going to rain tomorrow. And of course it's not a GN, it's a thumpingly thick novel, vol 1 of what? 5, 6? whose style isn't much better in the authorized translation than in the fan sub.
Oh, and for some reason the pages are perfumed. Not sure if that's intentional, or just someone reading with hands carefully washed in strong soap.
Volume 2 arrived later in the day but it can wait till Saturday. But I'll be interested to see what it smells like.
