A remarkable adaptation
As a native Chinese speaker I usually have a pretty high bar for webnovel adaptations, but this one hit it out of the park. Of the ones based on books I've read, it is second only to Joy of Life. The adaptation does a great job of preserving the essence of the books while simplifying/streamlining the story, and adjusting it in small ways that add more emotional heft and flesh out the supporting cast.
The only complaint I have is that the show isn't available in 4k to stream (in the US). Otherwise it's really a 10/10, top tier acting, top tier music, top tier action, top tier story. Everything came together really nicely.
Unfortunately I'm not overly looking forward to the second season since most of the best bits of the book are in the front, but this is still one to savor and appreciate.
