LordFengCui

He's NPC that was created just like human being who can feel pain, get hurt, cry, eat, etc.

Ruan Lanzhu was Ling Jiushi's exclusive NPC, his main task is to assist LJS to complete and purify the game. He's not only NPC but also the key to the 12th door. His program begun when LJS started to touch the game.

Obsidian was created not long before Ling Jiushi entered the game world.
It is safe to say that inside the game world, everything can be set up in a blink of eye.

12 doors are divided into 4 categories, each door has its own setting and theme.

Like on the Snow Village door, some people experienced it as their first door, some did not.

So, even if the players have entered high level doors, it doesn't mean they have experienced all game scenes and settings.

Because Ling Jiushi interfered with the game setting [he helped the village chief's family reconciliation], the first door disappeared and it made the game reshuffled, a lot of previous clues can't be matched up with the game.

It's from the human skin drum door. He was hit with a human bone.
If you watch the 78 eps, it's on ep 20.

Ep 20 and 45 of 78 eps version.

Which version do you watch? The 38 eps or the 78 eps?

Ling Jiushi got hurt twice after coming out of the door:
1. At the end of the human skin drum door.
2. At the end of the Lady in The Rain door.

If you meant by got bl is about skinship in its content, then there is none.

It is adaptation of same-sex original work [danmei] but since it's C-Drama that originally planned to be broadcast in mainland China so the whole adaptation was far from it although even without the skinship thingy, we still can see the deep affection and mutual attraction between the 2 main characters.

Both CQL and TZZ' fifth doors were assisted by RLZ. As an expert of crossing the doors, RLZ could also bring along other people [including LJS} so LJS could gain more experiences inside the doors.

If we count by number, CQL's fifth door is actually LJS's third door, and TZZ's fifth door is his sixth door.

RLZ was preparing LJS because RLZ wanted LJS to be his partner to cross the 11th door together.

Because it's adapted from danmei.

You can try to watch the 38 episodes version. It's available on Viu and Viki.

My brief answer to your questions without giving too many detail spoilers (hopefully).

Every player will enter different setting when they enter the door.

For example in the first door, the snow village, some players just entered the game (just like LJS) while others entered the snow village not as their first door, as long as they still in the same level doors.

Ruan Lanzhu was an expert the door world, it is said he had entered the 10th door, therefore he could jump in in lower level doors and brought other players to help them getting through it.

Throughout the story, LJS had entered 11 doors. There's one door that wasn't explained the details inside the door. There's also one door which he didn't enter with RLZ.

When it was first broadcast, in February 2024, there were 78 episodes with 15-20 minutes duration/episode.

Then it was removed and banned to be broadcast in China.

They finally managed to sell the broadcast right to international tv/online platform, then it was re-packaged into 38 episodes with 40mnts duration for every episode, they also added opening and closing song.

There is no difference in scenes for the 78 or 38 episodes.

There are many troubles in this world, but her presence became a beam of light in my life.

A beauty like him should eat lychees.

Tan Zaozao, do you think with my condition now, I can't peel you?

Lingling Ge, please persuade Ruan Ge. He wants to peel me.

What tool do you want to use? Can a fruit knife peel her?

There is a discussion thread above talking about how to get the book online, or you can also find it on novelupdates website.

Ruan Lanzhu [Ruan Nanzhu in the book] was decribed as a very good looking man and beautiful woman when he cross-dressed as a woman [Ruan Baijie] if I'm not mistaken in every door they went through.

He's a beautiful drama queen, even Ling Jiushi [Lin Jiushi] was attracted to Ruan Baijie's beauty.

As for Ling Jiushi, he is described as a handsome man, but not as handsome as Ruan Lanzhu.

Chen Fei [Translated as concubine Chen]

He indeed act like a nagging concubine in some scenes... 🌻😊

Perhaps it can be said as HEA in Spiritual Realm.

I see...
