While I'm sick, I'm reading #GlobalEntranceExamination by #MuSuLi: novelupdates.com/series/global… (a rec from @geraineon). I'm about a quarter of the way through and it's a fast, fun read!

You Huo, his uncle and his cousin are transported into a mysterious 'examination' system, where the questions could easily kill any of the examinees. Breaking the rules to test the system, You Huo gets under the skin of Invigilator 001, but the two can't get away from each other.

Global Examination

The whole world is subjected to a highly dangerous standardised exam called the Global Examination. Answering questions by putting their lives at stake, they would live if they passed the test.

Special bonus for me: there's an exam question set in the Arctic, where the Barentsz crew is overwintering: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willem_B… #terribleThingsHappeningInColdPlaces

There's a lot of trying to recover events from the past that are forgotten but relevant to today, which is another trope I love. :)

And there are even actual female characters in this!! Comparing this novel with the small but growing list of danmei I've read, there's a certain similarity to #MisterMelancholyWantsToLeadAPeacefulLife, which I did enjoy greatly but couldn't help noticing it had *zero* women or girls in it. Cyan Wings, you really had to work to do that and for what...

Global Examination: not very spoilery thoughts about the main cp

#GlobalExamination: really enjoying the relationship between the main couple here! They are both rule-breakers and tease each other relentlessly, but despite a huge number of unknowns about the whole situation to begin with, they very quickly start to trust each other and respect each other’s competence.

Plus, You Huo’s cousin goes from wtf-my-cousin-has-a-boyfriend?!?!? to calling Qin Jiu/Invigilator 001 ‘brother’ within about two chapters, and that’s :blobcatchefkiss:
