I'm reading this series about a year after watching the Netflix show (twice) and as much as was on YouTube for free (legally, I promise) as I could.
When I tell you I love WangXian. If I could live in this world and just watch them interact forever, I'd die happy.
But anyway, I am very invested in seeing the source material of the show I love so much, not only seeing scenes that already have a visual map in my head, but to see what was changed and how the story was actually told timeline-wise. In the show, we saw all of the past at once. In the book, we get flashbacks, and not going to lie, I'm a sucker for flashbacks.
Furthermore, I'm obsessed with seeing more of just how much Lan Wangji secretly (unless under the influence) loves Wei Wuxian because we couldn't get that conspicuously in the show. MXTX is a great storyteller, and kudos to the translator!
