Thank you! I always appreciate you taking the time to read and respond to my comments and reviews. Completely agree with you about editing and pacing - they sped up during the key moments but then slow down too much in others.
Also, apparently it would have needed a higher budget for all the CGI needed to follow the novel exactly especially the ending.

Thank you!!!😊

Ah thank you for clarifying! I thought the cave and underwater scenes were done well and realistic. The show felt high-budget so to spend even more...well, even with stars like Dilraba and CXX, there has to be a limit :D

I was wondering the same thing - was the little sister killed very early on by Lin-yi or was she kept around for awhile?
I am happy that all the original couples survived.

I am starting the novel now to fill in the gaps. I think it would have to be a 2 part series for the show to fully adapt to the novel.

The finale did carry a bit of a “let’s just get this over with” vibe—as if the writers were too tired to fully develop the late-game characters they introduced. Still, I’m satisfied overall, and I am so ready for any possible season 2.

Right? After the Mad Blade going on a crazy killing spree, it could have ended better with LYR.

Romance is good - from being antagonistic towards each other to falling for eaxh other - the pacing was good and the development really draws you in. They properly got together in ep 18 and after that no break up and no love triangle.

This show is not all about the romance though - it's about hunters versus the fiends ultimately but the last two episides are focused on them again.

Ep 31 - good use of reverse psychology! Luckily YT is listening to Ms. Lu and the other ladies 🤭 I am kind of enjoying the return of snarky NJL.

There were many scenes I enjoyed but the use of the closing OST during the ending scenes of ep 30 with YT was particularly touching.

Episode 29 both thrilling and a bit of a letdown. All that build-up, and the final showdown was a bit meh...Love the whole NJL going Mad Blade style but that phase ended too quickly. I wanted a epic face-off between LXR and NJL but got a "let's get it over with" scene that cannot even be called a fight.

Wow Lv Xian's reveal 😮

That said, I’m glad they didn’t end the show right there. The suspense and emotional rollercoaster keep going, and the r emembrance of the fallen was actually a really moving touch. 😭

Thank you! Actually knowing the ending of the novel and anime makes the watch more satisfying now since I can imagine them actually reuniting.

Hot pot - always the featured dish from the future 😂

Fun show - sometimes I just want a feel good drama where the lead is always ahead of the game!

Gatling Plus 😂 This male lead is so entertaining...

True - Ling Lin is key to her survival but the mine has a lot more than Yan Tuo. I would at least install a CCTV 😅

Thanks for the heads up! Shows with low budgets are not a problem for me. I’ll give it a try and see if I can stand a dysfunctional lead couple 😁

Whas a great summary of her skills! I was ging to start Luoyang but I am more in a mood for a modern drama so I'll give Brilliant Class 8 a try. Thank you!

Ah ok - yes, they were both quite stiff with each other. Ok the. Maybe I don’t ship her with every ML 😆

Oh really which one? I have not seen all of her dramas…

Exactly - they should know that leaving four normal guards is practically useless. Either they were overconfident or too careless!
