I hate it. There's this irritating cute girl acting some actresses do...uuuuugh, it makes me want to scream at them, YOU’RE A THIRTY YO WOMAN, NOT A SEVEN YO!!!!

Thank god cfy and lyx neither overacts. I hope the rest are good too

For me, a plot is very important. Efficient storytelling comes first. If it's stupid, incomprehensible or they fail to convey the story in the best way possible, then I will be very angry.
Changes are fine. I generally like the way that cdramas adapt stories and the changes they make, the way they decide to tell those stories in a different media, are some of my favorite parts of the adaptations so I don't mind changes as long as those are good and logical changes.
I don't care for CGI much. If it's good, then it's good. If it's bad, then it's whatever. First plot, then natural acting, good design and costumes, and good directing.
Overacting or over-the-top melodramas really piss me off.

Now you see why I stopped! Lol

Doubtful. The rights to svsss belong to mxtx now so making it depends on her.

It's fine if it's a game or a book or a script like tiger and rose. They won't call it transmigration. They'll just say it's a game.

I think Mo Ran's soul going was definitely because of the soul fragments that were between the bodies but I don't remember what the logic was or if it was even explained.

No, I don't think that was a part of it? Like CWN wasn't planning to send TXJ's consciousness into Mo Ran. He wanted to send his own memories to CWN 1 and he even put a fail safe with his own shizun so if he didn't remember it on his own, then the memories could be traced like that. the fact that Moran went to the other universe was unexpected. It was something related to Moran, not something cwn did on purpose.

CWN found out that the flower was eating TXJ's heart but it was too late to save him. He planned to kill TXJ and he almost did it but then TXJ suddenly hugged him and said he had a dream that CWN taught him to read and he was slow but CWN did not mind and it was super good and there was this innocent look in his eyes so CWN couldn't kill him. He used the last fragment of his own soul before dying to nulify the flower, knowing TXJ was no longer a complete human and it was too late to save him but he hoped that it would at least end things sooner.

I'm still stuck on chapter 4 due to having to read too many things at the same time!!!

yes, personal male qin players are pretty familiar tropes in cdramas now I think. I think everyone recognizes the euphemism now. I really like it too. It's pretty clever.

Oh no problem! Yes, some of the summaries are very vague and unhelpful!

I vaguely remember an in-universe explanation? Like I initially thought this was a simple rebirth story too and that's just how transmigration works with the memories and stuff but then I remember when I read the ending and it turned out to be parallel universes, then there was a question of , well how tf did Mo Ran remember all those stuff then?

Well, I'm not 100% sure which soul it was and what not. I'm not even sure if it was explained in the novel! I interpret it like this in my head. I think it might have been because of CWN's soul fragment. Because a part of it was in the other universe, it could travel back there with the fragment in TXJ.

Or it could be a Mo Ran thing! We know that Mo Ran's souls don't work like normal souls because even after he died in the second universe he didn't really go to the underworld, he reattached himself to TXJ! So maybe it's because he's a demon?

They might not have that part in. He might just keep CWN as prisoner.

It's common knowledge!
I think it's Mo ran's earth soul that goes back? It seems to be the one to keep the memories? Not sure if it's traceable in the mtl because mtl's a real mess!

I tried to find the answer but I just don't remember where it was explained. I'll tell you what I remember but take it with a grain of salt. From what I remember, the Che fei put half of his earth soul in Moran 1 and half in CWN 1. Then when he got back, he was going to kill TXJ but TXJ still remembered sth so he couldn't do it. Instead he used his remaining soul to save what remained of TXJ's sanity. I think when TXJ dies, the soul fragments reunited in Moran1's body and that's why he had the memories. It's hard to tell from the mtl though. We should wait for proper translations in...fifteen years?!
And yup, Chu Fei is in the show but we're gonna call him the "imperial guqin player"That's ok, though. That is shorthand for "male concubine"!

I'm sorry I am rereading the later chapters and I don't know if I should laugh and cry. I'm at the part when Chu Fei figured it all out and he's contemplating whether he should kill Taxian jun or not and he just goes "but he's the victim! I failed him!" and two seconds later he's like "yeah, but also he's getting hornier by the second. I have to kill him!" lmao.

btw jokes aside, cwn opening the gate was okay because it was a small opening. CWN himself explained that if the tear is so big as to combine two worlds, then there will be a heavenly punishment for it.
Other than that, the myth goes that the person who tries to use the gate to change something about the past will basically end up bringing about that same thing they tried to change. So if someone tries to bring someone back from the dead from another world, that person will still die. The reason CWN got away with it was mostly that he didn't change much? But he also sort of, in a roundabout way, paid with his life.

I may read extreme abuse but I draw the line at eating a baby!!!!
