[let there be no romance between QT and him because at this point, it's not needed.]

^this. QT is calling herself a governor. She should spend some time actually governing.

Go kill ur evil dad Rumu! AND FINISH HIM THIS TIME!!! (That's directed at Fugui as the only one here who reliably can be trusted to try and do this.)

Missed opportunity for the writer tho throwing the Mguffin in at this point so randomly tho.

The earlier arcs might have actually felt meaningful if we'd been told back when Fugui left or smth that these were the things they needed to gather together to defeat Black Fox, and rather than randomly stumbling across them all they could have actively been trying to and happening to already have them all to hand by the time we learn we need them.

Yup. Writer's fault, not the actress, especially given the dub is a voiceover and not even her saying it and solely the director/producer's choice, but QT's thoughts right now aren't relatable to me at all.

Sharing my thoughts here on this question:
1) In Ep5, she declared she would stay forever with Fugui to repay him for turning her into a human, only remembering baby bro when she was sent 2 of his legs.
2) In Ep13, she spent 2 months nursing Fugui, and then a happy lantern festival with him, during which she never wrote to her brother or invited him to come live with her or showed any sign of remembering his existence at all.
3) She showed wariness and fear when she was first trapped by him in the city, her inner monologue saying 'He's pretending to be kind to me, but in reality I'm trapped here. Something's wrong. I must find Fugui soon.' And tried to escape several times, showing frustration and fear (at the start) when she couldn't.

^Somehow, within the space of some eps, during which she found out Baby Bro was willingly welcoming the Black Fox's power, was sucking out demon cores to gain power, was controlling her body with talismans and touching her without her consent, was telling her she belongs to him and he's the only one she's allowed to depend on and need, was lying to her, was framing her for killing whole families by slaughtering said families himself, and threatening self-harm if she didn't obey him, and was quite literally stooping to murder to be the only one in her life she's allowed to hang out with and be with:

"QC, we're building a happy city together." *misty eyes* << this is her memory of him.
"What's the point of cultivating if we lose those dearest to us?" << this is her thoughts too.

So for me, it's because the writing doesn't fit. Before he trapped her she barely thought of him, when they're dying isn't the only time you remember someone and want to hang out with them if you're close to them, and after he did he was a controlling, abusive jerk. I can't see how these fond remembrances of him came to be in existence now.

^^just my thoughts as to why I don't get it and find it weird.

It’s early in his creeper arc after he lies about Fugui being dead and she becomes governor, she says lets build a town that doesn’t suck but it’s only ever her dream not his. For her to say they’re achieving it posthumously together is just 🥴

Laughed at the little kid saying "can't cry or my blood red tears will betray me" *proceeds to leak normal tears* lol. (or maybe I misunderstood that bit o.o) He was cute though, love Fugui boring him to sleep with sword techniques. Also like how casually Fugui just trusts QT to have the 10HP goons while checking on the health of the kid.

I can't with her either, "what if we're always destined to lose the closest one to us?"/"QC, I'm achieving our dream to build a happy city for all people together" my foot, lol. He spent his free time sucking out demon cores, murdering humans, and outright told her he didn't want a peaceful city and hated absolutely everyone of every race except himself and her.

I'm trying to pretend he never happened but she's making it hard ;-;

I can semi get it, songs won't make me stay if I'm not enjoying, but a good song can definitely turn whatever is happening at any given moment into epic for me. Those ones from LiP never fail to elevate a scene when they show up.

Yeah, the songs are really good here, there are some truly beautiful ones

Shame they can't divvy out the credits, because I would watch something written by whoever did 1-12 again in a heartbeat.

It's not necessary-- this one can be watched as a standalone, as they have flashbacks to the relevant backstory of the dad where relevant to the plot.

Yup.

On the plus side, what they're doing matters so little to the plot that not having any idea what's going on with them in no way stops you from following it, since everything that's happened these past 11 eps coulda been summarized in a 30-minute sand painting.😒

Did you want to add a spoiler tag? 😅

(But yeah, feel your frustration, ML gets more screentime in ep29 but the arc of 18-28 is looong 🥶.)

Hmm, by then I was finding it epic, the fight scene in that ep was really cool and I loved how the leads were working together and the brotherhood with Rumu.

If you’re not enjoying by ep5, the show may just not be for you.

Yeah I think it’s mainly terrible writing. All throughout 1-17 QT has basically been happy chilling with FG and not even remembered bro unless someone is sending her his legs or otherwise actively hurting him— she talks about how she wants to save him sure but they never have any scenes showing any kind of bond there. To suddenly have her wanting to die with him and declaring brotherhood with him is crazy for someone not even writing him butterfly letters or remembering him for 3 months during the ep13 arc lol. The actress did the best with what she was given but it wasn’t a lot, can only blame the writers 😂

Ep29 at least kills off QC

This is better by my book 😂

leads get more screen time too

Which ep are you up to? 29 is getting better for me 🎉

神火 (Divine Flame) <<< yesss this one is epic

🤣🤣🤣
