ikr? I am loving it especially when it is Li Nan’s boss order to write it this way and XMM’s passive aggressive compliance to write it in 😂😂

Erm, there is the Water King so kinda, in that Kaiyan has the mask of faces on but will clearly be fighting XQS in the match.

There will be some kind of tournament and the winner will rule the martial arts world, and Crazy Yan will show up at it.

Duality of guilt & principles.

They see how their own sects are doing fine (rich, many disciples, powerful) so there's no guilt or worry about harming their families/parents to wander the martial world to cause a dilemma, as their sects are well off with plenty of people looking after their parents, while at the same time their families won't go against the powerful even when they bully the weak to get justice because they'd rather keep security and power, so these sword bros do not approve that much of their own families lacking morals. Hence they stick around QS more, since they like his morals better.

Yeah, after all my doubting of Prince Liang, he gets a pass.
I was like 'why so over-friendly Mr Hugs-and-shoulder-pats-too-much???" but I didn't realise then that he prob sees the little half-brother he couldn't save from going evil/getting poisoned by his crappy half-bro emperor in XQS, and desperately wants this kid to have some kind of actual support unlike what he and LCZ probably had back then.

I am fully expecting the next line from Kaiyan's "Of course you don't know why you're so randomly lucky!" "I have to rely on my own effort!" to be, "You are the main character of the novel and I wrote you all your cheats!!! You don't deserve them, I do, I am the reason you have any luck at all!!!" and XMM to say (with judgement, and a single tear for all those dead people) "...Senior, you aren't /still/ pretending to be an actual author, right?"

idk what direction they will actually take it but i can dream.

😂😂

c'mon, Yiren's busy being recruited by Kaiyan and selling his soul for emperor plaques, the race to the bottom is not over, don't give up hope on this second contender yet.

Jealousy, pride, and entitlement.

I doubt he'd be trying to lose it since losing it would mean he died. At worst he is trying to make peace by ceding some land that he's already lost instead of fighting to properly reclaim it...

idk about common, it’s crack played straight for me, but agree they are throwing in allll the tropes here in this OG wuxia plot 😂😆

As XQS said himself, what in the soap opera indeed 😂

Yiren thought he was safe in his podium spot, he’s going to need to pull some gymnastics to reclaim his position in this race to the bottom he’s running.

Then you would have a bunch of factions and other princes vying for power, weakening the nation. 👀

Li Nan and XMM are both alive but in a coma in the real world. Having experienced the wuxia world firsthand and how it sucks to be any other character in the world of a wuxia golden halo cheat code hero Li Nan grows and becomes a better author (and maybe writes some books of his own), after serving his jail time for selling state secrets.

XMM also wakes up and continues his career writing less op heroes who are not given cheat codes or golden halos all the time.

They still don’t like each other but they are both better authors thanks to this whole experience, and meanwhile in the book pls give LCZ and XQS happy endings 🙏

manifesting a new ending:

confirming there is not 😃

lmao right? get this office a proper earth leakage system 😂

He forgot, he mentioned there was a gap in his memory so he temporarily forgot everything between the two events. *(waking and the ep1 bug scene, I mean). We saw the corner of desk had blood on it it so was most likely he bumped his head or was pushed falling, causing concussion. (prior to being fried 🥶)

hmm fair, I need to go rewatch it
