Not incest, that would only be actual blood relatives.

Agree though, still ew.

ahahahaha I loved him so much as Tang Lian (sp) in Blood of Youth and Star of Morsha (sp) in L&R that I can't wish suffering on him even if he's evil. Even if both these things happen, I want him to come out of it a chastened author who understands that you need to give nice things to more than just the main lead in your books so that life doesn't suck so much for you when you're the one stuck living their lives lol.

As XQS is slowly losing his own memories, it's unclear to what extent LN is doing the same as well, maybe, so he doesn't want to give him more info than he has? And even if he is LN, it's unclear why he'd want to twist the narrative to deliberately make some kindly people die who MM was averting the narrative to save? Whether as LN or as Kaiyan, both XQS and XMM probably want to know why he did this.

I think it was on the sword tomb but scratched out so he probably learned it when he came back to sword manor but before he killed his family. (potentially)

I dunno, Li Nan said “nope you can’t write realism, I want every golden cheat code and a golden halo lead pls, if you run out of ideas then reset, reset, reset,” and we have reset (ep1), reset (after the first “death”), (not yet the third time though), every golden cheat code, and a golden halo male lead whom I love to pieces. I’m starting to wonder if the outfit changes are a continuity glitch or XMM hate-writing them into the draft purposefully back then because he just didn’t care 😂🤣

There’s only one mask though and the dead water king is using it while chatting to the emperor? (unless I misunderstood that?) o.o I don’t think the emperor is R but I do think he and LCZ paralel XMM and LN in real life with the ghost writing vs ghost advising 🥶😓

😂😂 Sixth Senior will always be Sixth Senior for me, and nah, I tried but dropped it, my problem was probably looking for my next fix after MLC though, that one is just hard to move on from, rather than any issue with FoF 😂😆 Cuz I also dropped L&R at first before coming back after a month and binge watching it and loving it even if I’ll never forget the name “Sifang!!” 😂😂

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.
