I haven't watched it yet, it's not available internationally at the moment, but I know more than half of the people who are down voting it aren't interested in the movie quality itself, they've just come here from Twitter and other platforms to be angry about their delicate sensibilities π I mean, the movie might suck for real, but I'ma watch it myself and decide based on the plot and acting.
Does anyone know the name of the song that is played during the final scene where LJS reunites with RLZ? Who is…
That's the outro song to the series! It's sung by Huang Junjie (Ling Jiushi) and the Chinese title is ζε€ (direct translation is Accident). https://twitter.com/i/status/1781269972989473030 Xia Zhiguang sings the intro, and Huang Junjie sings the outro. Symmetry.
anyways, since there's a little bit of spoiler up there, let me write it here lol. do yall recommend me to read…
Yes! The novel is very different in many ways, and the ending is totally different and is absolutely a happy ending. Without giving spoilers, that's all I'll say. My advice is usually to ignore the last 8 min of the series and read from chapter 130 in the novel for the best possible outcome for the series, since it ties in very well with the novel from there (entering the 11th door). But if you're gonna read the whole novel, then that'll also sooth the unbearable feeling of the series ending! βοΈπ
What other series are you watching?? Cause I can't finished the book I read, before I get back to read the novel.
Ah, Pitch Black, Chronicles of Riddick, all the F&F films, all the John Wick movies, basically anything Leonardo ever acted in...besides The Revenant. Good stuff man.
I am happy to explain the novel ending in detail, but I will have to do it in English because if I use a translator…
Spoooooiler tag please xD Yeah, censorship is the reason for the ending and the extensively overkill 50 year time lapse. Imo, the series is better in some ways and the show is better in some ways, they both have their strong points.
The novel is totally different at the end. There is no game for one thing, that concept is purely in the TV show.…
Well the spiritual realm belongs to him actually, but yeah, he's an other being. Basically refers to himself as a God of the world in the novel extra.
As for Qiushi, see, Nanzhu had people passing through his door world endlessly, living, dying, and so on. One day, he discovered Qiushi (as a kid) and he watched Qiushi grow up and then when Qiushi got older and started entering the door world, and being so skillful at it, Nanzhu became 'interested' in him, if you know what I mean π
Quishi was the original founder and boss of Obsidian though, by the time Nanzhu decided to take on a corporeal humanoid form and meet Qiushi in the doors in order to actually get to know him. And Nanzhu, as the God of the door world, has control over the memories of people who have encountered his world, so he erased/altered Qiushi's (and company's) memory and basically adopted part of Qiushi's life as his own because he needed a believable 'history' to exist in the other world convincingly, then he reset Qiushi's doors back to 1 and went through it all with him from scratch and memory-less.
By the end, after a brief separation, Nanzhu regains his memory in the 11th door, and when the comes back out into the real world (Qiushi's world) Quishi is already there, having exited the 11th door before him, and they are reunited and they end up together. π
As for the age gap question, well, yes and no. Nanzhu as a God is hella older, but having adapted and formed a corporeal body based on Qiushi's body, they're basically the same age.

Okay no prob! So, the novel has many different points and the ending is VERY different. First, I'll answer the question about who died. Yes, every main character who died in the series, died in the novel too. The series did keep most of those major points. However, due to censorship, they ultimately changed the ending so that Lanzhu and Jiushi could not conventionally ending up together, as you watched. The censorship forced a separation at the end.
In the novel though, Nanzhu (Lanzhu) is a real being, not an NPC/virtual program. He really exists and he is the main God of all the doors (i.e: The 12th Door God/The God of the Door World). There is no game in the novel, it's all a real alternative universe. So at the end, for the 11th door in the novel (which is much longer and far more complicated than the series) Qiushi (Jiushi) takes a bit of time surviving and existing inside the door world, eventually losing touch with Nanzhu until he figures out the clue and acquires the key first. He then exits back into the real world (the world where all the people who died are still dead because if your die in the door world, you die irl) Real life being Qiushi's world.
But when he returns, Nanzhu is not in the 'real' world, and people don't seem to know who Nanzhu is and Qiushi is forced to live that way, with Nanzhu's memory eating at him by himself, trying to go on with his life. But even though they are separated for a period in the novel -roughly a year, not including the time they are separated inside the 11th door-it's still quite brief all things considered. And eventually Nanzhu (who takes all that time in the door regaining his memories of being the door world God who gave up his Godhood to pursue Qiushi because he fell in love with him) finally gets the key and returns to Qiushi.
Once back in the real world, he and Qiushi and reunited and there after they stay together as a couple (since in the novel there were already an established couple since after Tan Zaozao's death) and there are some great extras where we get to read about them just being together. It's great.
So that's a rough breakdown.
If your interested in a novel-esque ending, you can ignore the last 8 min of the series and read the novel from chapter 130 (the entrance of the 11th door), it offers an experience of the series merging with the novel from the point where Jiushi says he wants to find the Spirealm. That ending fits in quite closely with Qiushi's experience in the novel before he and Nanzhu are eventually reunited.
Otherwise, if you're content with the series outcome, then I hope this explanation just cleared up the major differences between the show and book π
In the series, they played the game in spiritual world and after restoring the game they came back to the real…
The novel is totally different at the end. There is no game for one thing, that concept is purely in the TV show. The door world is an alternate universe, Nanzhu (Lanzhu) is not a virtual program/NPC, he's real and he's basically the God of the door world, and despite a small separation between Nanzhu and Qiushi (Jiushi) in the novel after the 11th door, (only about a year) ultimately they both return to Jiushi's world and they end up staying together as a couple, Nanzhu having given up being a God in order to be with Jiushi.
If you'd like more detail, let me know! βοΈπ
I feel like they hooked up in the series at the same time as they hooked up in the novel tbh, there was a shift…
Yeeees! Even the conversation they had just before Tan ZaoZao's award ceremony, I felt the vibe between them in that conversation was different, it had very personal domestic tones to it.
