After years of reading various novels, I just realized, It turned out the legendary Emperor Xiao Yan from "The Great Ruler" might be the prototype of Luo BingGe from SVSSS!
The legendary character from back 2010 series that devoted Qidian readers would at least know and recognize! To quote a review I saw from NU pages it's like this:
Here's a girl, there's another girl, MC nearly died here whew, here have another girl, power up, oh no girl A went back to her clan, power up, another girl please, the girl from before that disappeared returned, oh that girl almost died, filler chapters, power up again, girl hates MC but doesn't kill MC even though she wants to, another girl, more pretty girls, girls.

Shadowheart being part lycanthrope feels terribly underutilized at the moment and that’s all I have to say on the matter. nothing else. nope.
nothing about the possibility of Shar’s influence also suppressing the curse and Shadowheart potentially being a late bloomer after she rejects her. nothing about the association of lycanthropy with the moon tying it to Selûne and making that already complicated relationship even more confusing. nothing about a Shadowheart who ended up letting her parents go having to potentially deal with delayed onset of that curse alone, looking in the mirror and being a constant reminder of what & who she’s lost by rejecting Shar. nothing about her struggle to come to terms with it being a metaphor for her journey to re-learn herself as a cleric of Selûne. nothing about how Shar had essentially leashed her and turning to Selûne brings her back to the wild again, free to explore new thoughts and impulses that had been trained out of her which is both freeing and terrifying at the same time.
nope, no more thoughts (I Am Being Normal About This Concept, Currently).
