The premise of this story and everything going on made things very complicated as far as the main characters relationship was concerned. It would have been really easy to fumble it and have things turn out kinda hinky and weird. So, major props to them for toeing that line so beautifully it looked like a dance. The whole thing was so wholesome and just kinda kept the weird away. I was honestly wondering how it could be handled with how things were, and I wasn't disappointed, surprisingly.

I've read the novel, so if anyone has something they'd like to know, feel free to ask.

Funnily enough, the other guys accept him before she does. They basically promise to help him win her over if he can help them get her back. If I remember correctly, their official mating happens when they are at shenmu village. The people that have a connection to plants.
The lotus never becomes human. She gets a magic bracelet that can store various awakened plants and the lotus is either in one of the beads or just hangs out around her.

You read the novel too!!! It was really good, i enjoyed most of it, there were some weird parts tho. Like the whole dragon thing. Like is she going to get with the dragon bro isn’t he like three years old. I know he has the mental age of like 3000 generations or something but he’s three years old. I know his body is an adult too, but I don’t know I find that weird. I didn’t finish because i started reading something else and then never got back to it I think I left off on chapter 803. I’ve been thinking of picking it up again, but I’m scared that it’s gonna have a bad ending.

No bad ending. Honestly most novels like these usually get a tied up with a little bow all happily ever after. Not sure if you actually want the spoiler or not, don't read the rest if you dont.

She doesn't(?) end up with the dragon. At least not as far as the novel goes. He basically desides to explore the world a bit and gain more experience because she keeps pushing amd saying he's too young. There is the potential that she could except him in the future but that's all just hypothetical.

She does. The four wolf pups, then two tiger cubs, then a chick, then a snake. As far as I know Xiao Ba (the system) is always around because they regard each other as family and try everything to make sure that nothing happens to each other. Though if I remember right, Xiao Ba ends up with his own little body.

They aren't actually blood related and they didn't know eachother growing up so there are no familial relationships or grooming. Male lead's stepsister had a secret child and only brings him back after he's an adult.
So it's only considered incest if you care about like...marriage certificates? Idk the whole family doesn't care for each other at all anyway, so they might as well be just two individuals that met.

I understand the first season was pretty and it's disappointing for it to change but after looking at all these comments I was fully expecting it to be horrible or something. The art isn't even bad, it's just a different style and not as detailed. Sure, it's not as pretty but did it absolutely ruin the story for me? No.
For those just coming here and checking the comments, it's still totally worth the read. Yes the art is very different but if you're expecting it, it's not so hard to get used to.
There's no reason to go off so hard on the new artist. Something could have happened to the first one, there may have been personal differences, or they may not have been able to continue to afford the first artist. Who knows. But the art isn't bad on it's own. People are just comparing it so much to the original.
I see a lot people complaining that the rape from the brother was completely unnecessary, or that the brother and dad should have somehow gotten their just desserts in some way but...if I'm being honest, that's not the way it happens in real life most of the time.
These abuses do happen to real people, like sure it may have been unpleasant for you to read but it wasn't unrealistic. Most of the time people just have to/want to move on with their lives rather than spend that time screwing them over. Main character did what he wanted for his own peace of mind.
I'm sure some might yell 'But this is a story, it doesn't have to be realistic!' And...okay? Go read one of those as this is the story the author wanted to tell. As someone who has lived a life very similar to our main character, I'm okay with how it went. Not everything had a satisfying end or got wrapped with a bow, but our main character (along with others) is moving on and healing, and I think that was the point.
