Positive comments

As the second film directed by An Bingji in China, the thriller index of "The Pen Immortal II" this time is significantly higher than that of Mei Ting's "The Pen Immortal". The plot is also a sensitive topic related to the campus "suicide by jumping from a building", which contains the confusion and interweaving of friendship, love, career and desire, and deduces a youth thriller story that makes people feel sad and cruel. The final friend, "The Different Way between Man and Ghost", together with the episode of Park Shu's "Those Flowers", makes the whole story more sentimental than thrillers.
The most wonderful feature of "Bixian II" can be said that the suspense and complexity of the story of this film greatly break the traditional stereotypes of domestic thrillers. The whole story has a compact rhythm and exquisite structure, accompanied by fear and suspense of jealousy. (Tencent Online Review) [1]

Negative comments

Whether it is "Hongrui" who can't join the national team because of his broken leg or "Yang Zheng" who is on Chen Guanxi's upper body, they have a social label and interact with each other very stiffly. The audience can only understand their fate by their lines. If everyone is not dead, it is difficult to arouse concern about the story's context by the film's narrative means. (Netease Entertainment Review) [3]
