I have no comment regarding Tencent thing, but as for ending of JOL, it actually somewhat followed the novel (:

In the novel, Fan Xian did tricked his enemy into thinking that he had left (although no backstabbing, I'll just assumed it was creative control). However, I'll stop there because it'll be alot of spoilers.

Unfortunately no English version ):

Caught up on episode 30. I like the consistency they kept with some things that was in the novel, like how Qing Niao always wear green and now we're seeing Qing Feng in purple, and of course Jiang Ni in white. The novel Qing Feng was ruthless and a charmer, I am glad they casted someone of similar feel. She was very charming as Si LiLi in JOL also.

Although the novel is a harem, there's no tag for it here and so I guess the director left it out, even though there were multiple hints throughout the show indicating that Feng Nian did have multiple *possible* love interests; Qing Niao, Hong Zhu, Wang Chudong, etc. Not romance focus, which is fine. It's just a tiny bit pity that they didn't show some close relationship Feng Nian had with Qing Niao on the journey. With Jiang Ni staring in the back, I don't blame em. :D

Since they wrote his character like this, I am wondering if it's the decision of the writer to do so or did the writer wrote similar to novel but then the director wanted to portrayed it differently? Since Wang Juan wrote JOL and Fan Xian drama was very similar to novel Fan Xian, so maybe for this project, the writer wanted to go for a different route, since he don't want to make JOL and SSS have 2 similar characters? lol

At 400 right now, there's really no one chapter that indicate the cultivation hierarchy, but they do drop names every now and then, especially when new comer arrives or when talking about the grandmasters like Cao Changqing, Deng Tai He, WXZ and the likes. Since it's machine translate, it is probably the literal terms, I just wanted to know the actual names lol.

The drama tamed him. I did liked Feng Nian drama version compare to Feng Nian in the novel in its earlier chapters, because he was such a scoundrel lol. But at later chapters, he was much better. Pity drama did not showcase some awesome scenes depicted in novel.

Btw, are you reading raw source of this novel? And if you are, mind letting me know (if you are able to) the cultivation level hierarchy? I am reading using a machine translation and they translate the cultivation as Vajra Realm, Profound Realm, Rank One, Two, or even Astronomical Realm... hahah.

MC has a harem in the novel, but I don't think they will put that into the drama adaptation. if anything, they'll probably put those ladies as love interests or hinting that they are. No romance focus, but there are subtle hints. Even in the novel, it's not romance focus either (:

Waiiit! 20 volumes??? I thought it was only 4! Novelupdate shows that it's 4 volumes with 997 chapters. Am I looking at the right novel LOL. Maybe since Im reading it via online, they merged to make chapters longer?

The name it goes by is The Snowy Path of the Heroic Blade.

I THINK, and Im not sure, but I think season 2 is already filmed partially? Because I remember when this drama was about to air, the amount of episodes was more than 50. Maybe Im wrong lol. Cross fingers Im not :D

No official translation as of now ):

I heard this author's work is hard to translate, and it has walls of texts.

You should. I am reading it atm (although only understanding roughly 70-80% of it). It's great, but this author LOVESSSS to describe things, so it is like walls of texts. He reminds me of Mao Ni. I love Mao Ni's work.

People say less is more. but I say Feng Nian, go nuts. Literally. :D

Xu Long Xiang is more of a physical fighter. He uses his fist more than weapons. He's very strong and gifted.

He appear here and there with his Sword Servant, but he officially meet Feng Nian at Wudi City later. However, drama adaptation might showcase differently on how they meet.

Pu Ye want that tower of martial art manuals :D.

Just kidding, I have no idea.

Definitely agree~

Ohyeah. I just passed the chapter that she showed up again. It's not that she's learning swordsmanship like Li Chun Gang or Cao Chang Qing to kill or anything, but rather she's learning the essence and telekinesis the way of the swords. She can control swords and ride on them now :D. She's really talented based on LCG and CCQ evaluation.

She wanted to be strong so she can protect their family. Actually, both elder sisters had the same thought and made sacrifices.

Their family goes something like; Elder sister is afraid of Father, Father is afraid of Feng Nian, Feng Nian runs away from Second sister, and youngest brother love Feng Nian the most lol

Feng Nian needs someone to bicker and control him. He jokes around too much and Pu Ye is very hardcore and serious about martial arts. They would get bored with each other very fast lol. Jiang Ni is probably the only one who doesn't care about his status, others are either in awed, afraid, or just wanna sucker up.

If alot of people like Pu Ye then the director did a wonderful job at casting, because in the novel, she's is described as incredibly beautiful and handsome, which translate very well with Zhang Tian Ai :D. Although...so far, the book described Pu Ye as a male. :P

Well if we're looking at actress, then yeah, but if we're just looking at character wise, she is probably 1-2 years younger than him. She was with him during his mother's funeral, so they should be around the same age.

She's Shu Xiu (Zhang Yi Shang). They wrote her character differently compare to novel, but it still works IMO lol
