Wrt to B) … kind of? Like there was this one meta I came across that brought up how making some characters more sympathetic didn’t really eliminate the moral complexity, just redistributed it to other characters — like for example, softening JGY and going harder on NMJ

And yeah, the characters to me are just the actors 🤣

For me, the big tells are Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji. CQL JC and LWJ definitely have their difficult qualities, but they both tend to have rougher edges in MDZS fic, at least that I’ve read.
Novel WWX’s clown act often feels a lot openly ruder and less charming, especially toward LWJ.
comment in response to
post
Also back to Wangxian: I get the impression that CQL allows Wangxian more bonding opportunities early on than MDZS does, which as a taste thing I do appreciate, as it at least makes them seem to outsiders like they could’ve been friends before shit starts to hit the fan
comment in response to
post
So there’s definitely some censorship bullshit that CQL absolutely suffers from — Wangxian as a couple is technically subtext, so that’s fun 👍
But I think CQL has some pretty compelling emotional interpersonal moments. I think it’s worth at least trying some more episodes (altho there are 50 haha)
comment in response to
post
Little thing, but I didn’t realize until I started getting into fic that the Twin Jades were called that because they looked like twins! Ok but srsly,, I think in CQL, LXC feels more like a semi parent to LWJ than I gather he does in MDZS and their age gap seems wider
comment in response to
post
So again, I can’t speak to the actual content of the novel, only my impressions from what other people have said about it, but I do get the sense that the novel is definitely more *coherent,* at least in terms of who’s doing what kind of Wrong Cultivation (demonic vs ghost cultivation or w/e)
comment in response to
post
That being said, I *have* noticed that there seems to be be a built in sexual politic for the two leads (Wangxian in our case) that I personally find a little tiring, e.g. absolute “never had eyes for another human being” monogamy and fixed unchangeable dom/sub roles, but that’s a taste thing
comment in response to
post
I also am not familiar with BL as a genre, so the impression I get of MDZS the novel is definitely quite foreign to what I’m used to in fiction 🤷🏾♀️
comment in response to
post
Howdy! I’ve been thru CQL multiple times at this point and have tried the novel — tbh both of the translations I’ve found have bounced me right off lol
so my perception of the content of the novel is built on what people say in Tumblr meta and what my discord friends tell me when I ask

and then on feedings they’re both shivering with sensation as lxc feeds and trying not to show it
but then there’s a time lwj moans out loud—
comment in response to

typical modern vampire narrative where lxc is all “oh no I don’t wanna hurt u” and lwj is all “but u could never hurt me”
