it's a bit different, in svsss sqq was directly replaced. in this one he (or everyone) was reincarnated. basically death, but their soul are still the same. and they know that, so they can try to move on at least. meanwhile, with sqq, his senior brother (and also most people) didn't know that he had been replaced by entirely different person at all. i'd say sqq's situation is more tragic

idk about the previous ml in svsss, luo binghe og is straight as stick and if he were the one to have encountered the reicarnated Qingqiu he would've done what he did to of Qingqiu, (amputated him then placed his upper body in a jar, it's horrible, though og qinqiu lowkey deserved it). Though in side stories, I was hyped up when there's a crossover, I still don't trust og binghe over current binghe.
both here and svsss it kinda makes me sad when they separate the previous and the new versions of the mls bc like what abt the previous one I feel so bad lowkey
