Donghua is still ongoing (and being made by the same team as the drama). But it’s far from over — it my take a decade or longer to finish up both novels (we estimated 2040).

You guys really are making it hard to stay away from donghua. We estimated it’s not going to be done with both books until 2040 😳

In the novel NGW had even less scenes at this point (from what others told us). Unlike most dramas, there’s very little romance overall (in the books, donghua, and live action) and — since the novels are very, very long — it will take many episodes for things to unfold and progress.

He dropped to Qi (due to NGW) at the end of Season 1. In season 2 (if there’ll be season 2), he will build himself up and get to Core. I really need to start watching the weekly donghua version :)

“When Destiny…” is pretty good so far. I’m glad I watched TIA first because it prepared me for clans/sects being bad/selfish people.

Drama adaptation also has NGW causing him to drop to Qi stage. Won’t spoil you the details because they may be different from donghua :)

Isn’t 3850 chapters = both novels? Official English translation of the comic (manhua) stopped at 307, but I don’t know if it was ever completed fully.

To cover both novels would take 9-10 seasons at this pace (going by # of chapters). The novels are epically long, especially the first one.

In the drama we probably won’t see much progress between the two of them until end of Season 2 or Season 3 (if they make them). The source novel, animated donghua, and live action drama are all about cultivation with very little romance. NGW doesn’t have a lot of scenes in the live action drama but novel readers told us the book had even less!

As others mentioned, it’s part of his strategy. Thibk of it as playing a video game and your character is Level 10. You may fight enemies a few levels above you, but if you see a Level 50 monster, you are going to avoid the battle, go get some more XP, level up, get more items, better weapons and only then come back for a fight.

Didn’t he do You Are My Glory for Tencent? (Genuine question because TKA was in 2019 and YAMG was in 2021)

How many years will it take to get to the wedding episode? 😁

Let’s hope this is enough to convince YOUKU to do Season 2! 🙏

Nice to see the rating slowly going up — it’s 8.4 now.

Haha, I get your point. But at least in AYtO the main bad female actually got it pretty bad. She wasn’t favored in the palace, got framed for poisoning Emperor & Empress, and went crazy after that. Inthink in that drama it works out okay because the heroes weren’t tortured/beaten like they were in Peony/Blossom.

Otter transformation! 🦦🥰

The most important event will happen in episode 9 (spoiler ⬇️)

Apparently in the book the drowning thing made sense. The experts explained that in the novel it was a naval battle and then FL had a PTSD moment (she originally died/was killed by drowning or something like that). So that’s when ML saved her (no underwater kiss, I think?).

You are welcome, lol

Goof point about expectations. You were more prepared than most of us — we hoped that after season 1 relationship between the leads would be more like a true couple.
