They could take a break from the game or quit if they don’t want to continue anymore. There's no rule, without specific arena (the arena is the whole city), the participants could still interact with non-participants, allowed to go anywhere, doing whatever they want. It's straight The Hunger Games ripoff in a badly organized way. IMAGINE IF BAD GUYS HAS THIS GENE AND EXPLOIT IT? AND THE PALACE HAS NO STRICT RULE ABOUT THIS. And the possessed person would have no recollections of when their body was possessed. The abandoned body would become "empty vessel" until someone inhabitate it again. There’s a “jumping” gene that allows the owner to invade and possess other person's body. The concept of the magic system was actually cool but has a lot of flaws. Also their names were so unmemorable, which is annoying for a complicated fantasy like this.
It’s giving “Barbie is everything, he’s just Ken”🙃 There's a LOT of side characters that instead of adding more layers to the story, they simply just make it more confusing.
Anton, on the other hand, doesn't even have a solid personality. Calla, the female main character, is the more feral & violent version of Juliette Cai. Up to this point, it sounds amazing, right? But the thing is, the execution was terrible and made zero sense. It also mainly involving a deadly game inspired by The Hunger Games. This is CG’s adult debut about Antony & Cleopatra retelling in a setting inspired by Kowloon Walled City.
I really tried to enjoy IL but it’s just not appealing whatsoever. Disclaimer, l enjoyed her Secret Shanghai Series-not my fav series ever but enough to make anticipate her upcoming works. Immortal Longings is an absolute ambitious story to write, but sadly, CG failed toĭeliver it.
