Tippy's Reviews > You've Got Mail: The Perils of Pigeon Post – Fei Ge Jiao You Xu Jin Shen, Vol. 1

Look, I read a lot of “trashy” books. Like, just straight up porn in written, and often extremely graphic visual, form. But this was trash on a whole other level. The story is terrible. The characters are all awful. And it’s just really poorly written. The storyline is basically dick picks through the mail that leads to a really unhealthy long term hookup. The sex scenes are...not great. The wording is really repetitive and it's pretty obvious the author was going more for being as explicit as possible rather than actually trying to write decent sex. Neither main character is appealing. Advisor Wu’s entire personality is “I don’t care about anything, including myself, and also I am hungry” and General Guan is a bully who fully admits that he is only using the other man as a stand in for the person he truly loves. FYI, that person is also trash who knows full well General Guan is in love him but chooses to string him along for as of yet unnamed reasons. Literally the best character in the story so far is the old gossipy neighbor lady who beats up the other gossips for talking shit about Advisor Wu. Pretty much everyone else sucks. I read it all the way to the end but I can’t see myself bothering to read any more of the series. And I have learned the author is also a garbage person so I’m super glad I didn’t spend my own money on this but got it from the library instead.
