I do hope that there's a lot more romance in the donghua + live action version though. The problem with romance in the novel version is that it never goes anywhere. (maybe in volume 2 but that's another 1400 chapters for ya) I hope they continue the trend with Xuan Er (live action ver) and give the characters more depth and development + more romance.

I mean, if you count that, then yes, there's a little bit. Which is why I said almost zero. Like, if you divide the number of "romantic moments" by 2446, the result is infinitesimally close to zero. The reason for that is Han Li is 100% hell bent on ascending and everything else is a distraction. When there is romance, it is over in the blink of an eye, boom, no more romance for 700 chapters, that's kinda how it works.

TOO diligent in fact, and now I don't wanna touch another cultivation novel for the next 3 months (lol)

I feel like if they film the future seasons exactly like the novel

then the requirement to enjoying the show is "if you don't mind ZERO romance"

Well, according to the rumors, they deleted a ton of Gina Jin's scenes (during the 40 -> 30 episode shrink), which...is great. Cai Huan is the absolute fan favorite domestically and internationally. Now I'm hoping that they change some stuff and add more Cai Huan scenes in season 2.

As for NGW (Gina Jin), I think most people do NOT want the story to proceed exactly like the novel because of...um...poor reception of the live-action version if you get my drift.

Finally finished the whole 8-book series (excluding the so-called 'part 2'), god damn 2446 chapters, that took a WHILE. To those who are fans of Cai Huan......honestly, maybe watch the animation / donghua instead ngl. There is almost zero romance in the novel.


Context: I started reading after episode 30 and started at around chapter 360-ish.

Yeah I'm reading the Chinese version directly (fluent in both languages), I'm seeing a lotta bad comments for immortal realm arc (1394 chapters) so maybe I'll just stop and read something else ngl (after volume 1)

I just found out what you mean by "volume 2" and reading some of the comments...yeah maybe I'm not touching that ngl, even for Zi Ling

I thought I was already reading the full version? Like, the Heavenly Realm (or whatever the English name is) arc? Doesn't the story end after 2446 chapters?

Mfw major female lead loses a loved one


And Han Li can't even do the bare minimum of giving a hug or even some comforting words lmao

Maybe there's some romance in the last 50-100 chapters but if you want romance...

Ngl even the show has more romance than the book lol

"go read the book, it's a harem novel"


Me after reading 2300+ chapters: "nuh uh, that's bait"

The rating got nuked while the show's receiving like unanimous praise domestically...MDL being MDL as usual (it's genuinely a good show as well)

Welp, there goes all the hype I had for season 2. Their chemistry was awesome, especially in EP12, my goodness that was great. Is it not possible for them to postpone S2? Like, we are absolutely NOT in a hurry.

Episode 1 impression: Xu Kai's look is...alright, I guess.

Wu Zhen (TXW) is aurafarming so hard at every single opportunity though, lmao.

What he actually said was: The Immortal Ascension, starring Yang Yang and Gina Jin, will start the filming of season 2 shortly.

The difference in translation lies in whether or not GJ will return, and honestly I hope not. Hell, NGW gets zero screentime in the next arc anyway lol

Mfw I went through like 700 chapters in one go because of this show

(Yin Yue (银月) (AKA, the fox) is such an amazing character, God damn. Iykyk, chapter 1070.)

If I was the author, I’d make Han Li call out her name one last time before she teleports to the spirit realm to make it EXTRA heartbreaking though

Hot take: 8.7 is kinda overrated considering how messy it got towards the end.

I'm pretty sure Miss Mo is like, universally loved regardless of medium (novel, donghua, love action) lol. That's why I said "bad news for some...?"

(ngl live action ruined NGW for me permanently lol, I'm reading the novel and whenever HL thinks about how "hot" NGW is, trying to visualize that...I um...cannot visualize it at all)

To those who are not happy about the fact that Han Li and Miss Mo didn't become a couple in her first life, here's some really minor spoilers to give you a sense of how fast time passes for people like Han Li.


To form his first gold dan / core, bro literally went into a cave and in the blink of an eye, 60 years have passed. A relationship with a mortal is literally impossible.

Thankfully, Miss Mo returns as Zi Ling and she is still as beautiful and as jealous as ever. She's basically the main FL for S2 (if they follow the novel) and good news (or bad news for some...?), Nangong Wan is practically absent for the majority of the Sea of Chaotic Stars arc. (maybe she appears in like chapter 600, idk)


So stay tuned, relax, and wait for Zhao Qing / Cai Huan / Zi Ling to cook in season 2.

(current progress: chapter 533)
