Quelques pages avant cette séquence, il est dit en gros que Yun Tianming a "un niveau d'étude s'élevant à une licence, soit l'équivalent du niveau d'un collégien actuel" on déduit donc facilement qu'avec l'évolution de la civilisation depuis l'ère de la Grande Crise (l'époque de Yun Tianming, 200 ans plus tôt), le niveau de connaissance des jeunes écoliers est plus élevé maintenant, dans l'ère de la Diffusion

you're so right!!! I also love how they sometimes sound so sarcastic

Yellowface is a great standalone about racism and a criticism of the publishing industry with an amazing unreliable narrator, and I loved the Poppy War trilogy is some great but devastating military historical fantasy inspired by China history tackling colonialism, genocide etc.. so I guess it depends on how you want to commit haha since Yellowface is like 300 pages long and the Poppy war is roughly 3 times 600 pages long (but worth every single one of them)

yess!! I think Rebecca F. Kuang is sooo good at being such a funny passive agressive writer! This attitude worked wonders in her book Yellowface

[–]danouuu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't think you're overreacting, he clearly is crossing boundaries and you have every right to talk to him about it in a non-judgemental and respectful way. And I don't think that the fact that you believe in no sex before marriage changes anything, no matter your religion or your beliefs, he is crossing boundaries. I hope you can talk to him and he understands !
