I've changed my mind. I don't want this show to be a huge hit. I want it to become suddenly super low-key without any huge blowout for the actors. Just a quiet and peaceful run and a silent end.
idk, I never do this. I opened twitter to see if they say anything and was hit in the face by this terrifying scandal from another actor. Now I need to hide under a blanket for a week so the anxiety goes away. Someone @ me if hyx starts!
I think unless it’s really that bad or major changes, there won’t be any backlash. Sure, some people won’t…
I personally think despite the persistence on clean and virtuous protagonists in cdramas, a lot of shows have more nuanced characters than the average western show? I'm thinking about the implications here. For example, when I watched cql, I felt the implication of a morally grey character, the aftermath of trauma, as well as the hypocrisy of war despite the fact that the show downplays those elements. Same goes for a lot of xianxia shows that usually show the heavenly court as corrupt and scheming as opposed to the alleged evil demon tribes who are usually just trying to survive with a few bad apples. So I think most shows get the point across with some well-balanced symbolism and such. And of course there's woh now that essentially has two villains as protagonists!
Maybe if you are unfamiliar with east asian writing culture, don't throw the word plagiarism around and instead…
You will definitely enjoy this genre then. There are a lot of similar stories and if you are not an exclusive bl reader, then you might also like The Glass maiden. It also has both fantasy elements and the cultivation sect system. There's a lot to love here as a fantasy reader. I found Cnovels to be a breath of fresh air at a point when I was getting really tired of the repetitive themes in western fantasy novels.

Well since you are so well-informed, then I'm sure you already know how all the elements in this novel, including the tropes and elements you mentioned are common to the genre of this novel and have nothing in common with the magical elements that are used in HP, most of which are inspired by other works themselves. If my reaction seems extreme, it's because similar accusation come from new western fans who constantly down grade asian cultures with great prejudice and contempt so whenever these sorts of implications come around, it's best to reject them immediately. As a fellow asian, I'm sure you understand what I mean.
I'm not accusing the writer of plagiarism or anything. I love the novel and I like it even better than mdzs. But…
Maybe if you are unfamiliar with east asian writing culture, don't throw the word plagiarism around and instead go learn about their genres and fantasy fiction, first? This comment comes across as very rude, which I'm sure was not your intention but england doesn't have a copyright over "fantasy". the rest of the world have their own fantasy genre staples based on their own mythology, folklore and culture. This book and every other book of the xianxia genre is one such work based on chinese mythology, daoism, taoism and so on. If you are interested, you can go google about this more and learn all about it.
