Additional Inheritance

Yaya died. She committed su*cide. This person, with whom he had no blood relation – whom he’d called ‘elder sister’ for many years, was all too suddenly gone. She left him not just a considerable sum of inheritance, but also a child. That year he was only 19 years old, still a child himself, and yet all of a sudden was in charge of the welfare of a 15 year old youth. This child was not bothersome, he had none of the impatience nor rebelliousness characteristics of a typical adolescent. He had an extremely high IQ, paired with a stability and maturity far exceeding his physical age. Be it daily living or academics, he didn’t have to worry at all with the boy. He was able to manage everything on his own. But the more he got to know the boy, the more he realized how frightening this child’s many intentions were. He wanted to change his mind, could he just take the money and leave the person behind?

## My Thoughts on Additional Inheritance "Additional Inheritance" is a wild ride, a true rollercoaster of emotions that left me both thrilled and deeply unsettled. Diving into this novel, I knew I was stepping into the world of the 188 series, famous for its morally grey characters and intense storylines, and it certainly didn't disappoint. ### First Impressions Right from the start, I was drawn in by Wen Xiaohui, the MC. He's sassy, confident, and has a genuine warmth that makes you instantly root for him. The premise is intriguing: Xiaohui inherits a house and guardianship of Luo Yi, his deceased friend's son. Luo Yi, initially portrayed as a polite and intelligent young man, quickly became a character I was both fascinated and wary of. As the story progressed, the undercurrent of mystery kept me hooked. ### What Works Well The plot is undeniably gripping, and the author excels at creating suspense. I found myself constantly on edge, waiting for the other shoe to drop. The dog blood elements are definitely there, and the emotional intensity is dialed up to eleven. Even when I wanted to look away, I couldn't. One of the novel's greatest strengths is its exploration of complex relationships. Wen Xiaohui's friendships, particularly his bond with Luo Rui, felt genuine and heartwarming. The cameos from characters in "Sissy" added an extra layer of depth for those familiar with the series. And while the central relationship is fraught with issues, it's undeniably compelling. ### Areas of Concern The ML's actions are, to put it mildly, problematic. His manipulation and betrayal of Xiaohui are deeply disturbing, and I struggled at times to reconcile these actions with any sense of redemption. Some readers may find the ending unsatisfying, feeling that the ML doesn't truly atone for his behavior. The "wife-chasing crematorium" trope is pushed to its absolute limits here, and it's not for the faint of heart. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning *Proceed with caution; spoilers ahead!* The revelation of Luo Yi's true motives and his subsequent actions towards Wen Xiaohui are shocking. The fact that he uses their relationship to steal Xiaohui's inheritance and then puts him in danger is a hard pill to swallow. The ending, where Xiaohui ultimately returns to Luo Yi, may feel unearned for some, given the extent of the betrayal. ### Final Verdict "Additional Inheritance" is a dark and intense novel that explores the complexities of love, betrayal, and redemption. While the ML's actions are undeniably problematic, the story is undeniably gripping. If you're a fan of the 188 series and enjoy morally grey characters and high-stakes drama, this novel is definitely worth a read. Just be prepared for a rollercoaster of emotions and a potentially uncomfortable ending. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
