Hey! I was wondering: what is your opinion on CQL!WWX? I find him way softer than the novel's version, especially when he has become the Yiling Patriarch. I dislike his adaptation of his original self, but I can't help to find him way less tragic. I mean, in the novel, you understand that he has lost himself, there is no come back possible. I didn't feel that in CQL. Yes, he was in a bad state but it wasn't as desesperate. Maybe because LWJ was more present? (Their relationship seems easier tbh)

Hello! Here’s our thoughts on CQL!WWX:

He is mentally weaker and I dislike that. In the novel, every time WWX life gets dragged down, he will overcome rather than be held down mentally. That mental fortitude is just lost in CQL. WWX is very self-assured, and so he knows there is no point in moping or letting anyone get to his head that things are ‘his fault’. He knows his worth, and isn’t easy to manipulate in this sense. He is highly aware of what he is responsible for and will carry that fault with him forward. (E.g. an unnamed cultivator said he won’t forgive WWX for buyetian. WWX too said he will welcome all who try to exact revenge bc he too will shoulder that blame and wont resent others for their revenge on him.) Unlike CQL!WWX’s mentality, novel WWX moves forward from that, never forgetting his past, but not letting it weight him down, and just moving forward. And this is imo, a stronger character. Sorry if I missed addressing the ask > ~ R

Hmm… I feel like he doesn’t have this lightness to WWX that I really loved and that immediately pulls you in when you read MDZS. WWX is supposed to have a sad backstory but he’s not a sad person/character. When I imagine WWX, he has a very light aura and he’s very naturally charming that even when he’s being annoying, you still like him. He always has a smile or a shadow of a smile on his face because he finds happiness and/or hope no matter the situation. But in CQL, while Xiao Zhan has a very bright and pretty smile, WWX was still very sad and he carried that sadness a lot even in the present time. I also feel like, during that time in the past from his first return from Burial Mounds to his death and even in the present, he was inconsiderate to CQL!LWJ and lacked empathy towards him in a way that WWX in the novel never was and, I think, never would have been given the changes in CQL. Lastly, I wish Xiao Zhan held back on the crying a bit; WWX is the type to not show emotional vulnerability as much as he can and would always project that he was strong and confident even during times when he felt otherwise, which was even more evident when he lost his golden core and became a demonic cultivator. The things I mentioned are things I feel didn’t have to change and I wish they kept to make him closer to the original. Other things I understand were changed to comply with censorship regulations. I definitely prefer the original WWX and I’m not really in love with CQL!WWX as a character of his own. ~ shay

I haven’t watched CQL so I’d rather not talk about CQL!WWX. I’m inclined to agree with the other mods’ thoughts though. ~ elle

I just wanted to scream about something I noticed. In NHS's first scene in the live action, WWX asks him what he's hiding, and NHS produces a goldfinch in a cage. Says he's been chasing it for 3 days and finally managed to catch it. I know subtitles vary about the type of bird, but he says "金雀" (Jīn què)...Jīn as in "gold" but also as in Jin clan. They told us in the very beginning that NHS was hiding a trapped Jin bird he managed to cage.

The foreshadowing in the show is breathtaking and precisely why I love the series.

Every single scene has something hinting at a future event. It is wonderful and so cleverly done~

i am very amused over how kurikoma was genuinely disappointed to see that shida was in fact not the angry little gremlin she assumed him to be

STOP I LOVE WATARI AND ONAGAWA’S RELATIONSHIP SO MUCH THEYRE SO!1!1!

Can we appreciate misatos character development throughout the series? He went from someone who kept to himself and was all alone to someone who is more outspoken and enjoys the company of his friends. Even his relationship with futaba blossomed, hes more open to saying what he thinks and hes more touchy now. Im really happy we got to see his development

i just started watching bakuten and i’ve managed to become obsessed with the literal over dramatic matchablossom love child that has piercings, green hair, an aggressive personality, good at cooking, and is definitely inlove with their best friend..

imagine seeing bakuten trending. you’ve never heard of it, but you click on the tag and find a fun sports anime about men’s rhythmic gymnastics. it looks wholesome. “cool!! how nice!!” you think. you keep scrolling and see the muffin man post. “that’s a little weird,” you think. but you keep scrolling. suddenly people are talking about body horror. and ghosts. “what the hell?!” you say to yourself. “i thought this was about gymnastics.” then you notice the notes on the posts. very few of them have over 50 notes and even fewer have reached over 100 notes. you exit the bakuten tag.
