I’m someone who tries to stay away from fantasy romance because experience has told me I’d rather read them separately. They usually have a duller, less original plot and magic system in exchange for having glimpses of a romance that tends to have too many unnecessary cliffhangers and one satisfying scene right before it finishes. MXTX broke all the stereotypes giving an extremely well-thought story that needs to be read twice to catch every single detail of this complex story. Even if you are reading it for the plot, you won’t be disappointed. But it also has romance, and it makes it a billion times better.

My two cents? It's not worth a 150USD series imho. My personal opinion is that all pre existing fan translations are at least more accurate to the original text (though granted they could be polished up). It’s embarrassing that we’re even considering this because the sole complete translation was written by a 16 year old during her free time. Surely an experienced publisher with a full fledged team could do better than this.

Aside from their capacity to perform superhuman feats, most cultivators are presented as gentry scholars who train and may become proficient in the Chinese Six Arts, which places them at the top of the social hierarchy. [14] Meanwhile, there are also those who exist as "rogue cultivators," ones who do not belong in any clan, sect, or organization due to them abandoning it, never being in one, being expelled, or their clan/sect being destroyed.

En este libro es muy común que se refieran a un personaje casi que por tres nombres u honoríficos diferentes, así que les recomiendo leer el anexo que viene al final del tomo para que no se confundan con eso. Yo, personalmente, sí pude seguirlos bien tras unas cuantas páginas porque estoy muy acostumbrada a recordar nombres asiáticos. Fourthly, readers have noticed that an entire paragraph was missed/omitted by 7S. In Chapter 6, there is a paragraph that reads "Although he harboured animosity toward Wei Wuxian...who leapt up to the top of the trees to avoid them." The next paragraph is missing. It's the iconic line “他一直以为江澄会站在他这边，而蓝湛则会站在他的对立面。没想到，事实却是完全颠倒过来的." (He had always thought Jiang Cheng would always be on his side, and Lan Wangji would oppose him from the other end. Who would have thought that things would completely reversed in reality). This line is included in the chinese pinsin version, all fan translations, including the most recent German translation. It's a very important line as it shows that wwx starts to realise where jc and lwj stand in his life.

Wangxian' is the portmanteau of Lan Wangji's and Wei Wuxian's courtesy names. Also their official ship name and the canonical title of their love song. The audio drama's massive success and popularity led to it being brought over to Japan for a localized adaptation, produced by Brave Hearts and in close collaboration with the original Chinese audio drama team. [38] Known as “魔道祖師日本語版ラジオドラマ” (lit. " Ma Dō So Shi Japanese Radio Drama"), it started airing on January 24, 2020, and is simultaneously broadcast on the Japanese audio streaming app MiMi FM [39] and the Chinese audio streaming app MaoEr FM every Friday at 6pm Japan Standard Time (GMT +09:00). The show has broadcast up to the end of Season 2 as of December2022 [update].The remaining four chapters printed on the special Side Stories Edition (usually the “fifth book” in most foreign editions): Intrusion, Metal Hook, Lotus Seed Pod, Dream Come True. For the record, the 7S version does translate this line correctly so I don’t know what prompted the translator to make such a comment.) THE TOUCH OF A HAND, A ROLL OF THE DICE Xie Lian has confirmed that the bewitching youth San Lang is actually Hua Cheng, one of the Four Calamities and a supreme ghost despised by all heavenly officials. Still, he has trouble matching the terror of his companion’s reputation with the charming, clever, and protective young man he’s come to know. When a distress signal leads Xie Lian into Ghost City, a bustling metropolis containing all the horrors and delights of the dead, he sees Hua Cheng in his element—and his true form—for the first time. But despite their chemistry and care for one another, there are missions to fulfill and secrets to uncover, and Xie Lian’s centuries of troubled history are never far behind. It feels the reverse to the usual progression, where a complex novel is boiled down for a movie, no doubt in part because a typical movie runs 2 hours and the TV series ran 50. It's more like a scaffold of a novel got fleshed out, at least in the live-action. Although the excellent animation version (very pretty!) does still give a lot of useful visuals only barely described in the book, with only a third of the screen time it felt abridged and truncated compared to the live-action. It's going to take the other two volumes of the novel to find out if it grows by accumulation, which it may well do. I'm certainly on for the rest of it, in due course.
