Inkstainsonpages - Ale

right, so some of y'all asked me to share my slides from the presentation i did on dmbj at my friends' powerpoint night, and so i finally got around to posting some of it. notes before we begin:

i cut out the most spoiler-heavy slides, just in case. these were mainly the ones explaining in-depth plot as well as worldbuilding history

the target audience for this presentation was my cluster of friends who signed up to listen to me infodump about something with no intention of watching the source material. if you are someone looking to get into dmbj but aren't sure how to go about it, this may not actually be helpful. you have been advised

ok, go!

Intermission: if you'd like to learn more about Xiao Hua and Hei Xiazi, please refer to this presentation by Ao3 user Ilgaksu

Bonus: my transition slides in between explaining the main series and Sha Hai novel plots

(for the record, the Sha Hai part of the presentation took up five whole slides)
