Damn, thank you, you managed to summarize it in the most perfect way I’ve ever seen
normally you'd go to the novel hoping to clear up the details the comic didn't cover. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
the donghua and the comic tend to leave out a few details and the pacing is of course rushed so I'd really recommend finishing the novel! Also, anything other than the novel will be very censored as it's made for a more public view, if you want all the romance and stuff, read it!
Oh, I finished reading the novel a couple of days after writing my original comment! Agreed, though! The novel is a must, but the other adaptations are always fun. The donghua is better than expected too, so my fall is pretty much made just from that!
Yeah, I doubted the donghua at first but the first episode was so funny I wasn't even concentrating on the animation style lololol can't wait for the next episode :D
I know, right?! They're supposedly going to release the last 5 episodes in one go (if you go premium) in a couple of weeks too, so that's fun!
bro my wallet is so empty there's an echo TT-TT do you know how many episodes there are gonna be in total?
Ouch, I feel ya :'D I mean, there are other ways too if you can't afford them, so don't worry about it haha. I think there are going to be 10 episodes this season, which seems about right considering how fast-paced it's going and where they're most likely gonna cut it
Nooo I need so much more, I seriously hope they don't stop after the first season ;; it's such a small fandom but I hope it'll get enough viewers and new fans because of the animation
I mean, MXTX is getting a lot of popularity lately thanks to CQL having been such a success. I heard that she's working on another novel and we've got donghuas for both SVSSS and TGCF, and they're working on a drama for TGCF too. I'm not sure how they're gonna hide the gay in SVSSS, but if we're lucky we should get another two seasons (maybe three, depending on how they're going to handle it) to cover all of the novel and, who knows, if we're REALLY lucky maybe we can also get a drama for SVSSS too!
I don't think they're likely to drop the donghua, though. Yeah, the animation looks really bad at some parts, but the reception is pretty good overall. If bad CGI didn't stop them from dropping three MDZS seasons despite it having a waaaaaay larger and pickier fanbase, I doubt they will with SVSSS since we're all so starved for content we'll literally take any scraps they'll give us (as long as they don't force some hetero couple with any of the main characters, anyway, which is unlikely because I bet Chinese producers are TERRIFIED of the Chinese MXTX fans at this point). Hopefully they have a bigger budget for next season though, it would be tragic if Airplane Bro ended up having lifeless eyes because all budget goes to making sure SQQ and LBH look dashing and perfect lmao
I’m actually really hoping you can answer this but do you know where I can read the novel? I don’t know where to look ╥﹏╥
Sure! You can find it at:

I think that there are currently people on tumblr translating it with better quality, but bcnovel's is pretty decent as well :)
So, I came here after reading the novel's first chapter, because I was so confused my head hurt. I was hoping that it would clear some things out, but so far I only got:
A) Everyone is ridiculously beautiful
B) The novel's MC looks like a kicked puppy and I want to hug him
C) The art is a joy to look at
D) MXTX and the people making adaptations for their novels have a thing for grey area protagonists in black and red who happen to be seen as evil + "righteous" mountain sects that absolutely NEED to be dressed in white and blue and look ethereal as fuck (not a complaint)
Pity there aren't more chapters, but hopefully the animation will go through. I have pretty high expectations from this story and so far it looks like it'll be hilarious (and probably horribly tragic as well, because I'll never trust MXTX not to create some heartwrenching drama).
