Autumn

the first two episodes are oddly difficult but the rest of the series I've understood everything so idk what's up with 1&2.

I'm so in love with this series oh my god

Because of the way their ruts/heats work none of them were in control of themselves. Hua Yong's rut came early and he had himself chained away until he smelled Shaoyou which made him lose control, and Hua Yong's rut triggered Shaoyou's heat/rut hybrid. Gao Tu's heat was triggered by Wenlang and Shaoyou using their pheromones around him, which then triggered Wenlang's rut, plus he wasn't sober, he completely blacked it out which is why he doesn't remember it was Gao Tu so Wenlang feels like he was violated. It's a complicated situation as they're all both the perpetrator and the victim.

wenlang is the definition of it’s a good thing you’re pretty 🤦😂

not trying to sound condescending so sorry if it comes off that way but have you ever watched a Chinese bl before? it's a miracle we're getting any kissing or intimate scenes to begin with. The actors seem very comfortable with each other in the bts and live streams, but their scenes have to be censored to an extent to keep the actors safe because they are still living and working in china. Also this is Heng's (wenlang) first acting role, he'd never filmed an intimate scene before so there probably was some discomfort or awkwardness for him, but he's all over Pei En in their live streams.

Both the cast and the authors have expressed disappointment with the editing. the Taiwanese director they had also messed up a scene that was very important to Hua Yong and Shaoyou as characters and they had to salvage it in anyway they could because they didn’t have time to refilm. Unfortunately the censoring has to do with Chinese laws, even if the series isn’t airing in China the actors are still living and working in China so they have to protect them with censoring.

Wenlang’s an 🌠idiot🌠 (it’s not even like they dumbed him down for the series he’s like that in the book too 😭)

I feel like it's a combination of censoring to protect the actors because of china's laws (even straight dramas can't get that spicy) and also probably some discomfort since this is Heng's first acting role and he's never filmed a scene like that but those two are all over each other in their live streams so they seem more comfortable now than they did during filming.

I've seen people say it's cause they "have a right to" and like yeah you have a right but what's the point other than starting arguments that'll lead nowhere..

y'know, my problem isn't the criticism or people hating the SA (which I mean yeah, I hate it too), it's the people that had no prior knowledge of the genre coming in here acting like they're the morally correct ones for being disturbed and acting like we're sick for enjoying dark stories. It's like watching a murder mystery and getting mad that there's murder in it. This is a 20 year old genre that's never been adapted before, obviously there were going to be new people that knew nothing about it before watching it, but you are your own responsibility, you need to know what you can and can't handle before going into a genre you've never heard of. This is normal for omegaverse stories, not all of them have this stuff in it but majority do, it's okay if you can't handle it but the rest of us are not morally incomprehensible just because we can, dark genres like this are often coping mechanisms for a lot of people. I grew up on horror, I'm not too rattled by violence like this so maybe my perspective is just different but you can dislike this series or aspects of it all you want but coming into fandom spaces just to hate on it is getting ridiculous. (and I'm talking about HATE, not criticism, the people that attacked the cast, authors and other fans)

I just left this on another comment but here: Shaoyou couldn't recognize Hua Yong because the room was pitch black, it was only lit for us as viewers to be able to see what was happening but Shaoyou couldn't see anything, Hua Yong also changes his voice and pheromones when he's in Omega mode, this time he was his Enigma self, he used his regular voice and natural pheromones that Shaoyou couldn't recognize, plus he became completely entranced from Hua Yong's pheromones. Wen Lang's was a mix, he was not sober, it was dark in the room just like with SSY and HY, and Gao Tu's heat triggered his rut so he lost control and didn't even remember it afterwards. All of them lost sense of themselves basically.

gonna be listening to the ost for the next 15 hours

Well small chains can absolutely be strong, for example dog chains, but Eliot has to yank and break a chain that’s hooked to his throat, they definitely didn’t want to make them too big or tough.

just depends on the company and where it's airing. Some do multiple episodes a week and others follow the standard network schedule of once a week.

next episode’s gonna be crazy 😭prepare yourself

I already said this here yesterday but I’m saying it again after the preview just in case, You cannot apply human morals to an Omegaverse world! Nobody is justifiing what Hua Yong is doing, but they are animals, he is running on primal instincts, he chains himself up away from Shaoyou every time he has his rut because he literally can’t control himself. Does not make it right, but this is toxic yaoi brothers if you can’t handle it stop watching.

8.1 is still very good, it's just being review bombed by idiots. Just make sure you rate every episode, rating on imdb could help the show too.

Really need people to understand that this is a fantasy world, they are closer to animals than they are human, they have a different genetic makeup than us, they have completely different instincts than us, you cannot apply human morals to an omegaverse world. If you cannot handle that then stop watching. Review bombing or trying to get the show banned is pathetic and immature.
