Mostly people complaint because they only start watching and get hit by tons of plot which actually as much as…
“First of all, Ji Ling is the most clever character in the whole series, on a par with Bai Zhe.”
I don’t think this is an accurate characterization of Ji Ling. We see this from the moment he transforms into a human, and in the flashbacks to Ji Ling and Puppet Ji Ling, whom Ji Ling (Long Shen) describes as a younger version of himself.
He was innocent, bright, and curious. We see this through his interactions with LWH and Chi Wen. He comes across as childish, and that was most likely intentional. We do not see the shift into a more stoic person until the loneliness and the weight of immortality truly set in.
Even then, he was still the same person inside. We see this in the moments when Li Jie and Lu Wu Yi break through Long Shen's stoic persona.
As for the plans, they were never really his ideas. He was largely following what Chi Wen had set in motion. In one of the flashbacks during the drought, he was crying to LWY and told her, “This was good enough for me,” and for once, a fox acted like the Dragon Deity.
That does not sound like someone who is highly calculating or exceptionally smart. It sounds more like someone struggling with deep insecurity and impostor syndrome.
The story lost all its steam since the time rewind thing was introduced, I swear every episode is like 75%-100%…
I can help clarify some of the confusion if you want to talk about it.
But as for Shi Guang and Ji Ling, I think some people are still confused about the message behind it.
In the show, the Dragon Deity is used as a title.
You have WSG, the rightful dragon who, due to his birth, is destined to achieve greatness.
Then you have Ji Ling, a nameless fox who was, by chance, saved by Chi Wen and, by circumstance, ate the Dragon Scale out of love for YWH, his “adopted brother.”
Throughout the story, you have a variety of characters trying to defy fate, whether because of love or obsession. Xiaowei, Wu Zhi Qi, Hanba, and ultimately Ji Ling and Lu Wu Yi are the most obvious examples.
The flashbacks, the slow motion, and the rewinding of time showcase the helplessness of trying to do the impossible and truly defy fate.
For Xiaowei, Wu Zhi Qi, and Hanba we see how their story end
As you can see, most of them actually fail. Even for LWY, though, she gets a happy yet bittersweet ending because of Ji Ling’s actions.
But the LWY who went through all the countless time loops and endless sacrifices never actually made it out. She died along with all those memories when Ji Ling when back in time and kill the queen and remove her from the timeline.
Even Ji Ling gets to reconnect with LWY in maybe another life or another timeline. But is she really his A’Wu if the time loop never existed and LWY never went through all the events of the original timeline?
The show and the story were never disconnected, if you look at it through this lens.
Also are we sure that Ji Ling would have died when he tried to end his life without LWY? I mean we know that she…
The reality is that we cannot tell for sure; all we know is that he does not appear at the end in WSG timeline.
So we can assume he is not there. Does it truly matter what happened to him?
Not really, because without LWY, he would have died at some point.
and be consumed by Ji Can. But at the same time, we know it's serious enough that Ji Can send LWY back in time; we don't know how many times. to save him, so could he have died in that cave? sure. Could he have lived too? sure.
since you are a professional writer, can you shared with us what would you have doneAlso welcome to MyDramaList…
You still can't understand the point...
You can't even tell the difference between an opinion and an objective claim that you made.
even after it was explained to you... You actually believe what you wrote is an opinion just because you wrote it...... that's not what an opinion is, btw.

lol, you might actually be too dense to realize your original post is ironic.
I just leave you to it, if you haven't caught on. I don't really care about your opinion if the show is amazing, the best ever, or if it was the worst ever.
When you make a claim about the plot and storyline. this become and objective claim about the drama
"And it's not even like I hate the drama. It was fun, I loved the characters and all the actors are talented I just wish we didn't have to deal with gjm obsession so we could have a much better storyline."
When you say have a much better storyline.
And I ask you how so? what? And you can't come up with anything.....

I know I can't convince people when it comes to their favorite actors or actresses.
Keep that in mind when watching it explain ALOT about each characters

him coming to the realization of what it means to be himself, but not being able to wait long enough for Ji Ling to be reborn,
or
not knowing what it means to be himself, but Ji Ling is alive?
Both are bittersweet
Don't act like the victim now. You know what you were doing when you wrote what you wrote.
Their original post was filled with sarcastic, dismissive, and personalized attacks toward the creator.
So I match that energy with all my replies, as this person had no intention to actually talk about the storyline or plot.
As per our back-and-forth, they have not and do not care to actually talk about the plot or storyline.
They are being in bad faith, trying to hide their opinion, saying they like the show, but at the same time, a backhanded attack on the show.
And I call them out on it
and got called out on it, and now acting defensive about it
I ask for specific about the plot or storyline, and they continue to not say anything about say plot or storyline
