Condoning and straight up blaming is two different things. Im up to episode 18 and had already thought Yiren fixed his stone headed thinking, maybe let up a little.. But no! It gets worse! It's like Qiushui isn't even his brother anymore. Not even hearing your OWN brother out even after being proven wrong. I really thought that if he was proven wrong, he would change. The writers clearly do not want us to like Yiren.

It might be common sense but not when it comes to tyranny. Thats how it works, one blind leading others thag are also blind.

This is obvious yes but the only problem is that the older brother is in command.. i am responding to you saying "why did father make him in command"
Who else is going to change who is command if the father isnt there???

We the audience know that Yiren is very strong headed in command yes, just because Qiushui showed his intelligence once, it doesnt change the fact that they are still trapped. Just by being smart does not get you the long way at all.

For instance if i want a good leader, lets say i need 4 redeeming qualities. Brave, Chivalry, Loyalty, Problem solving. (just as an example)

Yiren has clearly shown all of these to his father, while Qiushui only has shown that he knows how to problem solve. Just because you saw the things characters lack, doesn't mean the characters in the show can. Like I said, he has proven in the past, but the present is different because father is not there.

Like if you were the father, your youngest son has been a problem maker, showed 0 interest in family affairs. Meanwhile your eldest son who is actually apart of family affairs, and stands right beside you. Who do you choose lol??? It makes complete sense why the father chose Yiren. Trust me bro I don't like Yiren, but him being the command literally makes sense because he has proved it in the past. Unlike Qiushui

Yeah but the father isn't there at this moment, he isn't seeing any of it. This situation that they are in is probably a first, so the father wouldn't have seen this side of Yiren. Infact who knows whether or not if the father will believe Qiushui? The eldest is usually outstanding, reliable, and caught up with jianghu. Qiushui before Xiao ming ming was always going out and about, and making his father somewhat annoyed. You compare this to the eldest Yiren who is clearly the role model of the Xiao family out of the siblings. It always typically goes to the eldest even back in ancient china aswell.

Thanks for the spoilers 😭

I don't know if you're referring to episodes 15+ because none of this has happened so far.

Qiushui has not gathered any "real" evidence to support his case.

He actually hasnt proven anything. He was about to present with evidence but in the end it was sabotage. Him proving himself with his "life" was the result of sabotage. He sadly has no evidence.

Yeah i was frustrated the entirety of episode 14. I think the method Tang Fang used to steal the commander token was so unprepared. And the argument that came after was even more infuriating 😭 Yiren was actually quite understanding before. They really threw that out of the window so far huh

Lets hope that theres a lot more to all of this frustration, apparently theres people noticing things are off so🤷‍♂️

He technically hasn't proven anything (havent watched ep 15). Its all been set up against XQS. I think Yiren has a reasonable response, but hes also got 0 trust in his own brother which really speaks on how the writers either 1. Deliberately makes him look unreachable 2. Thats just how the character is written. Frustrating on all parts

But the problem is he hasn't been reading the novel. This is all brand new, the courses of the novel has clearly changed. If all of this was unchanged then why would we see him struggle? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, he knows about the wuxia world yes. But losing your intuition after 4 traps, then proceed to get yourself in constant dire situations, meanwhile this is a world that he has read, he clearly should have known about the main plot points of this novel he is living in. It's like he is a Wuxia character not from the future, only given a stone that tells him what to do. You might as well not mention the fact that he's from the future anyway

As for his combat progression, if it makes sense to you then alright, to me it just seems very bs ( even though a lot of wuxia dramas are just like this)

My problem (as of episode 12) so far with Qiushui is that he was such a dunce in the beginning, like he spaced out for a good 20-30 minutes within the first episode, then from ep 3 onwards, he becomes some what smarter. Him talking to himself is apart of why we are able to follow how he feels, then that just completely stops and its as if I'm watching a regular Wuxia drama, not one where the MC is pretty much living a rebirth. It just so far feels really off, like what do you mean he improved in the last few days when he fought THREE times after losing the hero token?? Odd pacing so far

I dont think you can fault the actors, its the plot/director that they have to act for and the fact that this is a 2023 drama is baffling.
