no no, it's reverse. We have 8th rank the lowest (copper gong) to 7th rank (silver gong), then 4th rank is gold gong, Lord Wei the boss was 2nd rank and 1st rank is the highest power in whatever the department (fighter, scholar, sorcerer, etc). He must go "up" to 1 to be more powerful. That pill will show us how much he advanced in power.

oh no ! is in order, because I was also curious what chapter we are at and it was so easy to find.

I think is because there is only 1 ep/day. before this everything was good and connected but now 45 min pass too quickly and too many questions arise. I bet they will explain in the next episodes. And we'll have 2 of those the next 3 days. If you go back and watch them with no interruption it makes more sense.

I understand what you are saying and yes, a novel it's so much more complex. Plus it allows the reader's imagination to go wild. That's why they shouldn't be compared. I don't even want to read the novel until the drama finishes. I don't want to compare or have certain expectations that shouldn't even be there in the first place.

I thought the same way too.

of course it's a happy ending. but until then it will be a roller coaster of emotions. It's such a fun ride !

agree

don't forget he is already at spirit level, 7th rank.

Thank you, Aleks !

don't worry. they'll be back soon. meanwhile we'll be introduced to some new characters.

the last time I quickly checked (around 2 episodes ago) we were around chapter 140 out of aprox 240 (if I remember well) which means Book 1/5 and they were talking about princess pingyang death. I think ep 40 will be made from the last 3-4 chapters of Book 1. A chapter is short and very easy to read. The pace I observed is similar to the book minus unnecessary information (ex. : describing process, more info then necessary about certain characters, etc.)

I so agree with your comm, even with the muscle part.

it also has a game. On Android and iOS as well. https://www.taptap.io/post/8682225

This is a good point and accurate. I actually saw a user on MDL who said that will not rate it until the Douban score appears. People that can be influenced so easily is scary. And the fact that they state it out open and proud of it, is more scary to me.

no. it got 69k people rating and 3.6M is still currently watching which makes it no. 1 most viewed right now on Douban's list. When these 3.6M people will rate it then we talk about Douban rating.

I understand that the rating was given by 60k people while more than 3.6M people are currently still watch it which makes it no.1 on Douban list. I really don't care about these ratings. I will never trust in other's taste besides my own.

no matter what we say, money will forever talk

exactly

I might add that I don't think it's about the hetero agendas, I'm sure. It's about what brings the most money on the table. And this depends on what the viewers prefer in that country. And of course that takes into account the level of open mind-ness.

In this case is because the drama was adapted after a harem novel so adjustments were made. A lot of viewers would have preferred for this drama to lack romance entirely but the truth is that most people are just romance-oriented so it's hard for these kind to get noticed and even recognized as what they truly are. I am also a romantic but I agree with them. One thing is one thing and another is another.
