So… am working on a project related to this book, watched an episode of the TV series adaptation too (the main actor lifts up an otherwise standard fare Chinese wuxia story).
From what glimpses I’m seeing, this is very similar to Gu Long in terms of the male lead character and the various harem-style female characters.
More than a bit put off by this typical “everyone loves him but he’s the non-committal type smart male lead” (maybe some author projection) stuff I see from what I suppose to be emotionally immature writers, plus the writing isn’t something to hoot about.
But for the nature of work I’m doing it’s pretty fun, so I guess I should reserve further judgment before I have a better feel of what this is all about.
