I'm reading it in English. I do plan to power through, but I really can't pretend to care about Luo Ji's imaginary to real girlfriend pipeline and everything that occurs in-between. The whole thing just seems silly to me, and not in a good way.

I just reached part 2. I'm hoping things start to get more interesting from here, but I did need to take a little break after slogging through part 1.
