None of these dramas come close to the novel/donghua because changes are made for drama and best parts are cut and hard to tell story in 40–60 episodes and also cast did well it's just hard to do justice to the story unless they use big budget and film is the best way to tell story, because in these stories protags meet so many people and each encounter helps them get more powerful, and it's hard to show them all with earth-shattering fight scenes etc.

Good show.

They are all playable on pc. Prices of all these games are affordable, you can get them on steam store during sale, Chinese new year sale. Games are playable on laptop as well. Except for Gujian 3 and Sword & Fairy 7, xuan yuan sword 7 all other games are playable even on lower end systems.

Check YouTube for wetv drama subscription, wetv is banned in few countries, so the app version may not be accessible there, but YouTube version of the app can be accessed.
Just type Tencent video on YouTube search you will find the site, it has this drama episodes but need membership it's cheaper than the app monthly subscription.

Thanks

In the story, he has 2 wives like the protag from Fight breaks sphere (snake lady & girl from his home who grew up with him).
Lin Dong wives Ling Qingzhu, Ying Huanhuan.

He is the protag of another drama adaption of the novel/donghua A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality, it's very hard to make a drama version of 1000 plus chapter's story in 40 episodes, total no of episodes is not the issue, but this story has earth-shattering fights etc like Martial Universe and drama version will nerf it, when drama can't focus on rich story world and it's characters and various fights they go with immature brat starting cultivation scenario while in donghua at least despite having a humble background Han Li was never immature, dramas like going over the top when the main character have a humble background at start only rarest of the shows try to do justice to the story and characters.
If one find a show has a donghua version, or game, it's better to check the original as well.
This drama version is very bad compared to donghua which is far superior in quality, even if actor was different the drama will still be bad.
I liked him in Who Rules the World if he is not that great actor he can still do well in Leading roles he is suitable for like Who rules the world etc, Jerry Yan also get criticized for his acting even got criticized for his ex gf marrying and him still single and being paired with young idol actress etc, when people start criticizing them it's brutal sometimes.

If you want fully story can play the game, main story length is around 40 hours, it has puzzles and maze like areas so might take some more time to reach the ending, gameplay is not easy as well.

Only sword & Fairy 2 takes place few years after the event of first game, while drama skipped second game and went with 3rd game story, rest of the games are standalone and even if Sword & Fairy 3 and 5 has 2 parts they mention it's either prequel or sequel except that rest of the games are standalone so you can watch both Sword & Fairy 4 & 6 without worry as it has different story, it's like Final Fantasy games or Dragon quest games each part has different story, and it's complete.
Game presentation of story is far superior to drama versions game has a plus ie immersion plus it has main story and side quests and more info about the story world also talk with npcs when visiting an area etc.

But still better ending than most shows I watched because show that starts great always have trouble near the end or at least few episodes one might feel they are just dragging.

1) Love triangle is there.
2)They are together from start to end because the story revolves around them, she is a ghost when he meets her first time, and only he sees her, romance angle start maybe after 10 episodes.
3)No.
4)It's not bad or depressing ending.
I rewatched this show after a long time now I like it more, compared to many fantasy/supernatural dramas that came out around that time period this show was far better, story is slow paced don't expect big supernatural fights or anything like My demon or dramas like that but far better than My man is Cupid.

I enjoyed watching this film, good one.

I finished the webtoon and I liked it, part 2 of drama might include the cop from webtoon because I saw a guy on rooftop only cop has the reason to be on rooftop in the webtoon to catch suspects, they made a random guy from webtoon into a massive something in the drama, his lover in webtoon left him and novel writer was different woman so making them one in drama make this more complex and challenging for the drama team to make everything connect. Hope everything works out.

One actor is another country got sort of banned for taking a photo during a trip, his last drama was a big hit, these kinds of things don't make any sense, just bad luck for some.

No, the last scene before credits shows his mother getting the item she pawned with her son's item.

It's hard to make a live action that come close to the donghua, unless they make big budget film series based on the show, even films can't fully cover the story.

Same, how the story progressed from the start was disappointing.

True, typical cdrama style protag being the best option to become emperor will give it up to random people who are there only to become emperor once protags give it up, protag becoming a ruler with his talent can bring forth a prosperous era.

That's great, I was just seeing I have seen many dramas keep the bad or parts that can be removed while remove the best parts that can make the show even better etc, but I think in this drama only him sitting near her is shown so they won't show the part where ML is not happy with cousin regarding what he did in drama etc.
