I've seen part of CQL already so I came into this knowing that things would be similar but hopefully different enough that it wouldn't be boring -- and it definitely wasn't! While the flashback scenes did drag a bit at times, the present/future parts were enough to get me through those spots. MXTX's humor is, as always, great (I'm still laughing about some of the things Wei Wuxian said/did/thought -- for instance, dude? You're Lan Wangji's dead wife) and the mystery was super interesting. I loved his interactions with the juniors and I was pleasantly surprised that Jiang Cheng wasn't as bad as fandom made him out to be.
