We get it you read the novel.
First, you choose to interact with it.

Second, it a public comments section for those who watch the drama. I.E both of us

Third, you clearly dont know what my comments is about. when I mention episode 7 and 8. Nor do you care, you probably assume "O it different from the novel".... funny enough that not the problem and that why I say it deja vu

Lastly, in both drama and novel adaptations, the most important thing is storytelling. I understand why they changed some of the things they did for the drama. It creates a more engaging CP romance for a broader audience, but at the expense of the story's overall message and themes.

This has happened in other female-centric stories as well, most notably Princess Agents and its less popular sequel, Rebirth. In both cases, changes made to emphasize the romance often weakened the protagonist's personal journey and the themes that originally defined the story.

I’m not sure if I’d call myself a “mom fan” lol, but I am a ZYR fan. I’ve been following this drama…
There is nothing that can be done when a drama adapts a well-known work. The reason why there are so many novel drama adaptations is that it is "safer" with an already existing fanbase of the novel.

It will ultimately draw criticism, however not every novel drama adaptation is inherently worse, for example, I recently watched and read Fate Choose You.

And the drama was vastly superior, and the change in that adaptation was day and night they basically use the lead character name for ML and FL and the rest of the drama cast was 95% made up for the drama and they didn't exist in the novel. Plot-wise, everything was different, and for the better.

But it not just because people want to boil it down to "Because it not like the novel". That's why there are haters, no, that's not the point. Their criticism is that they took a great female-centric story with a strong female lead and turned it into a generic romance-revenge plot.

Is this actually worth watching ?
It is good for what it is, you will find a lot of people compare it to the novel.

Which is fine, I myself do prefer the novel as well. But I also understand that it difficult to adapt 392 chapter into a drama.

On episode 3. The writing is weak. As it is rebirth, as it is political, I was expecting sharp dialogues and smart…
it was definitely a choice by the scriptwriter, the novel go to great length to show us why and how she is smart and cunning.

Maybe a few more episode before episode 1 to show case that wouldn't be a bad idea, but it was condense down to a short monologue

Agreed. It's like two different dramas are happening simultaneously. I think the main couple is cute, but to just…
Yeah romance was really a sub plot in the novel, but they turn it up like 100% in the drama.

Not saying it's a bad or good thing, just what was changed

This could've been a hit like Ashes to Crown if they hadn't limited Cdl and JZ screen time. Their chemistry and…
Ashes To Crown have their own problem.... mainly the terrible adaptation of the novel. Which ultimately will doom it douban score.

So in episode 22, minute 14:40, Lu Wuyi starts telling the story about how "some people are destined to be…
From what we are shown at the time when she meet Puppet Ji Ling.

This is just speculation, but from the perspective of LWY the character at that time.

She was also dealing with the loneliness of not being seen by other foxes besides WWY. She was just seeking love

And she was having a heart-to-heart moment with this seemingly random stranger at the time, which she ultimately used word magic and made the puppet JL forget that she had opened up to a stranger at the time.
