It is banned to be broadcast domestically in any platform.

Since the series is banned, can't be broadcast domestically, so tjey are not allowed to do promotions, roadshows, fanmeets, or whatsoever.

They can only talk about this series separately, whether in interview or livestream on weibo.

The production team occasionally shared the bts videos and photos.

You are mostly welcome.

There are no cut or additional scenes on both versions.

If you have got all 78 episodes, you would know that in the last 8-10 episodes of that versions, the duration is less than 20 mnts, so it make sense if the repckaged version is only 38 episodes.

There is no scene as you quoted in the series.

Ruan Lanzhu and Obsidian never sold hints nor asked new players to pay for Onsidian's assistance. He explained about this after they got out fromt the first door.

There are no RLZ selling clues.

LDY asked RLZ for clues to the 9th door and willing to par for high price.

RLZ said he didn't want his 'dirty' money but asked LDY to accompany LJS to the door instead.

Then when LJS prepared himself to enter the door alone, RLZ basically gave lots of words stating his worry that made LJS annoyed.

Is this the scene?

😊🌻👋🏻

It's good that you are fine now 🌻

Where have you been?

They enjoy stirring up our emotion to the max.

There are some different opinions about the ending.

Majority viewers said it is a sad ending, while the minority ones [including me] said it is bittersweet but acceptable.

Actually the book and the series are quite different [plot, setting, characterisation, etc] including the ending.

Thank you 😊🌻👋🏻

The original version : 78 episodes with 20mnts duration.

The repackage version [for int'l broadcast] :
38 episodes with 40mnts duration.

There are no additional nor cut scenes on both version.

Thank you 😊🌻👋🏻

No one will be like you, making friends with the door god.

Hi there, I would try to answer your question based on the episodes that you have watched.

1. After Ruan Lanzhu broke the egg, they attacked Nanwu [the witch] first on the triplets' birthday.

2. When they didn't succeed, they ran downstairs upto to the first floor and Nanwu didn't dare to chase them because he would be vulnerable if he went down.

3. After that, they made a plan to safe the 'mother' [one of the triplets] and the rest of the story you probably know.

4. As for the main reason why Nanwu didn't kill Ruan Lanzhu, it would contain big spoiler of the further episodes.

Thank you

I read first few chapters of the novel a year ago then dropped it because it's really scary, too scary for my nerve to hold it.

Then I watched the series, and grateful because it has much less horror parts shown.

Then I re-read the novel but still skipped most of the horror parts.

The novel and the series, both are really good with its respective strengths and weaknesses.

I would suggest you to watch the series first.

Although you haven't read the novel, the series is much simpler and easy to be followed through.

Actually, the series is quite different from the novel, the characters are made more humane and lots of morale lessons that could be found in our daily life.

As for the MLs relationship, I found the series shows deeper emotion and more characters growth.

The chemistry itself is superb, both between two main leads and the side characters

Thank you 😊🌻👋🏻

You are welcome.

I'm glad to explain 😊🌻

Based on my understanding :

There are 3 worlds exist.

1. The real world.
2. The world inside the game where the main setting on the story.
3. The world inside the door.

Everyone who got in touch with the game, even only logging in without even playing it will be sucked into the door world for the first time.

On the 1st door, the delivery man was shocked because he was going into the restaurant but ended up in the snow village.

It was also shown on the further doors, all newcomers would experience the same thing.

They 'touched' the game on the real world, then got sucked into the door world, and would be staying inside the game world until they conquer all of the doors without them realising it.

Ling Jiushi was sucked into the door world on his first quest.

Then after completing the first door. He returned to the world inside the game where everything is similar to the real world.

All the players were 'detained' inside the game world [without them realising it] until they could clear all of the doors alive or dead.

That is why the code name for the prototype of this game is called 'The Spiritual Realm' because once you played it, you will be staying in that spiritual world [the game world] until you successfully finish all levels or die in the game.

They met at the first door to start the survival journey inside the door from the beginning, with the setting that their life and memory had been altered as the results of Ruan Nanzhu chose to leave his life as the 12th door god and pursue Lin Qiushi.

Hi There, Allow me to share some points of view to answer your questions.

1. The 12th door was never created. Once they reached 11th door, it's the end of the game.
[RLZ explained this before departing]

12th door was meant for RLZ only which is to purify the game.

=================

2. Viewers' understanding about this series are vary.

Many think that everything is only Jiushi's dream while he was in a coma. [Majority viewers]

There are also other opinion that everything is real, everything happened inside the game world. [Minority virwers including me]

=================

3. The answer for your question no. 3 onwards will be based on the my personal understanding after watching it for so many times.

=================

There are 3 worlds exist.

1. The real world.
2. The world inside the game where the main setting on the story.
3. The world inside the door.

=================

After the game is compeletely purified/ restored, the game world and the door world are completely erased, disappeared along with the program [Ruan Lanzhu]

Everybody returned to their real life which is really different from their life in the game world without having any memories of their survival journey inside the game world before.

Only Jiushi retained his memories, because he is like the 'technician' of the game, someone who hold the program [Ruan Lanzhu] to restore/delete the game to its original.

=================

Their last conversation, on the stairs, at the last episode.

LJS : Long time no see
RLZ : It's not long

50 years in the real world, if I'm not miscalculated is around 3-4 years in the game world.

That is why Ruan Lanzhu said that it was not long.

=================

Ling Jiushi didn't re-create the whole game. What he created was the 12th door only, the door that was never created by Gao Dawei before.

He created the 12door as the Spiritual Realm [world], a place where his Ruan Lanzhu and Obsidian family [including Tan Zaozao and Li Dongyua] lived together happily.

Those people are NPC that only exist inside that 12th door.

Ling Jiushi re-created them all as NPC with their memory intact as before the game was purified/restored.

=================

I hope my explanation would make the ending more understandable and not make you mor confused.

Thank you... 😊 🌻👋🏻
