Mock the Week: Unlikely Lines from a Romantic NovelAnother line could be 'You entered my life like a clumsy oaf, knocking over my carefully arranged books, but somehow that chaos became the most beautiful disorder I've ever known.' It's not the typical smooth and flowery language of a romantic novel but has a unique charm in its own odd way.

Sometimes it's for character development. An unlikely line can show a character's unique perspective or a turning point in their feelings. For example, if a character says 'I don't believe in this so - called love anymore' after a series of events. It shows a change in their view of love, which can be a crucial part of their development in the story. This also helps to make the character more three - dimensional rather than just following the typical romantic plotline.
The lines of the movie week, the Venerable ExorcistThe lines of the Venerable One in the movie "Zhou Chu Exterminate the Three Pests" were: "I thank my parents! I thank heaven and earth! I am a sinner! A natural disaster, an earthquake, and thousands of people were killed or injured. Have you ever hated the heavens? Have you ever hated the land? When a normal person was duped into a sinner, they would naturally obey the Venerable One. They would do whatever the Venerable One said and give whatever they wanted. It was an honor and happiness to sacrifice themselves for the Venerable One. If the Venerable One said that there was a demon in their body that could not be removed, they would naturally have the obligation to give up their personal body and protect the Elysian World that they were collectively searching for from being destroyed. Therefore, when Zhou Chu exposed the Venerable One's true colors of toying with the common people and exposed that he was a wanted criminal who carried 50 lives, the common people refused to face reality. On the contrary, they strengthened their passion for the Venerable One to defend him to the death. Because in the eyes of sinners, the Venerable One was their world, their parents. They could only thank him wholeheartedly, how could they hate him? Let alone 50 lives, even if there were a million lives, the Venerable, who is equivalent to heaven and earth and parents, would be the savior who gives life to the common people and allows them to restart their lives."
This novel has an outstanding translator but it caught up to the author and is slowly decreasing his release rate to 7/week from 14/week back then. Story has some substance but nowadays its full of filler lines and cliffhangers that i thought the author seemed dissatisfied to continue the webnovel.
