t was an interesting idea and I liked a lot of elements of it but when I think of it altogether, I feel kind of meh about it. I think it probably had one of the few "explanations" for the system that I've actually found interesting but the ghost barrage elements got kind of annoying and while I understand they couldn't be entirely dropped, they did still seem to be repetitious. Also the whole "can't kill other actors" element was... oddly enforced. On the one hand, the loopholes Xie Chi found to using the movies for doing the killing did make sense but when it came to

Shen Yi's death, Si Nian's death, and Jiang Zhuo's attempt to kill Xie Chi, they all pretty much seemed to not care at all about that element. They just killed them and there didn't seem to be any repercussions for this.

 My other biggest gripe about the storytelling is one that has conflicted reasoning. On one hand, because Xie Xinglan is a subpersonality of Xie Chi, it does make sense that his character would fade in and out of scenes. At the same time though, like many other MLs in these stories, he seems to just disappear off the page if he isn't doing one of two things: flirting with the MC or protecting the MC. It means that aside from "strong" "protective" and "obsessed with Xie Chi," he doesn't really have anything else to define him. The side characters are better developed and that isn't honestly saying much. Maybe part of this could've been resolved if Xie Xinglan had been able to obtain his body before Xie Chi turned his focus to the other big mission, but I suspect not since there was a whole arc where Xie Xinglan existed outside of Xie Chi and... he still managed to get little to no development.
The extras were fine. They brought some closure to some matters but the last one just felt kind of pointless.
Overall, it was an enjoyable read and did some things I hadn't seen before (the tarot arc was actually pretty cool and I really liked the various twists and turns of the plots) and Xie Chi as a character was a fun element, though I didn't quite get some of the vibes the story was trying to lay down about him but it didn't blow me away.
