@ BunQiao oh I get it! I do think the darker version of him works really nicely in the book due to the fact of that a lot of the theme being YWS and SQ’s diametrically opposing worldviews. Personally, I think the reason the change works well in the donghua is that a) it allows them to turn it into a more straight up wuxia thing, which is fun, and b) it gets the point across very effectively with less context of like, being in characters heads and plays nicely into the comedic nature of like “…ok somehow in trying to convince him everyone would abandon him I’ve somehow become the person who would never abandon him, thus completely destroying my own point…how…how did I get here…?” I’m also a firm believer that you SHOULD be able to watch the show and come away feeling like you had a complete experience, you know?
@MissEve Glad you really enjoy it. Tbh, thousand autumns donghua is pretty good, but maybe it’s because i have already read the book with the expectation it’d follow closely to the book, because as much as i remember in the early chapter yan wushi never made sad face lile he is the real assh*le character and that’s what’s interesting though! So I was kinda dissappointed when they did tone down him and change some plot. But I assumed, they did it so people who watch it won’t hate YWS as much as YWS from the novel 😂.
uh…. audiobook is not the same with audio drama. u can listen to audio drama in missevan! iirc, 3 chapters are free.
Oh that’s SO FUNNY you say that, because I absolutely loved what they did with Yan Wushi in the donghua 😂😂😂 BUT I think it might also have to do with the fact that his actor has one of *the sexiest voices* I have ever heard on a man 😂😂😂 I’ve been following a blog that does audiobook translations on Tumblr too for the same reason 🤦🏻♀️😂
@MissEve yes the animation is called donghua yet the donghua is always censored because of the strict law in China. So, to be honest, it’s more convenient to read the book in full since the adaptation like donghua and manhua are not including a lot of details from the book or usually adaption like audio drama is the most faithful one among others. my only gripe for donghua is sometimes they do tone down the characters, such as like in donghua thousand autumns, they also change the plot and tone down yan wushi’s character. that’s why to understand the plot and characters’ personalities, reading the books is the right choice to know what is canon and what is not coz not all adaptions are faithful or follow the books 😂
@ BunQiao Oh no obviously it has nothing to do with the artist, they’re working off the script they’re given 😂 I just thought this was going to be more of a pretty cosmic horror and was excited about it! Maybe it will be as it goes on, I’m happy to stick around and find out!
I am new to manhua but it’s not my first and I…KIND of know the drill in that they’re most often based off light novels! I did start with the…the shows are called donghua, right? Of TGCF in 2020 and now own a full set of the books and have my little Bilibili app for the manhua!
@MissEve I assume it’s your first time reading manhua and danmei judging from your comment wanting to see cool creatures. So fyi, Little Mushroom is originally a danmei book written by Shisi and of course the manhua artist should follow the book plot otherwise she would be bullied even more by Chinese readers.
Cool if you do enjoy the manhua more, it’s okay, I understand that. But just don’t rush the artist recalling she already got mallice comments by Chinese fans because they thought it didn’t fit the novel description.
@BunQiao I don’t think I’m interested in homework or spoilers for this, not yet at any rate 😂😂😂 I’ll just keep an open mind and see where the story goes here!
I’m guessing you really enjoyed it though, and that’s awesome!!!
@Ane Oh it’s not a bash on the artist! IMHO they are almost single handedly carrying this entire thing on their shoulders, I just wish we had an opportunity to see more of their gorgeous critters! 😭 it’s what I primarily came for
@MissEve I understand but we have to be patient and positive remember that the artist almost drop this cuz of comments like “such a waste” or things like that
Yeah I’m gonna say I don’t think this is playing to what drew me into this – art is still beautiful but I’m gutted we haven’t seen any cool creatures in so long, it seems like such a waste of such a talented artist 🙁
