I actually started reading the manhua first then the book but this was way back in 2019 when the manhua was halfway through. From what I remember the manhua does leave out some nice details but its still very accurate. So you can def start it
Oh however! There are many other side stories in the novel after the official ending that weren't adapted in the manhua. So you should the novel for the extra stories
I actually dropped the manhua because I didn't understand anything. Then I accidently came across the novel and it become my favorite novel of all time. By the time I searched for its manhua that I realized that the manhua I've drop so long ago. So yeah... I recommend reading the novel first. But it's just my opinion.
can someone tell me if i can read this without reading the novel or watching the show. i remember when i watched TGCF it was super confusing until i read the novel but i don’t feel like reading a book rn lol
