i swear, MXTX was the universe's revenge. we've all done something really wrong and are punished by being unable to move on from their books. ill never get over Wèi Yīng. ever. every time i think about him i tear up. without fail.

MDZS and Wangxian make up 100% of my brain and heart.

Nice to see someone going as feral over MDZS and Wangxian as I do. MDZS is just constantly taking up space in my brain. It's SO GOOD. I love all MXTX's books, but MDZS is undeniably my favourite - and also it has my favourite romance of all time. Nothing tops Wangxian!

@kikotsukino1629 5 ай бұрын

This is why for me, among the MXTX novels, Mo Dao Zu Shi (Grandmaster of Demonic cultivation) is my no.1 favourite (and always will be) because I am so emotionally invested with the world setting and the characters back story, not just Wangxian. Although I really love Wangxian love story as well, I am in love with the characters, the plot and the romance as the overall. I also love Wei Ying and Jin Ling relationship on my end as well and Wei Ying relationship with the juniors and how he's seen to be teaching them during the Yi City arc is my favourite since I love seeing Wei Ying as a teacher teaching the juniors. In the end, among the three stories I am the most captivated with MDZS and it's ending. Even when I also love TGCF and SVSS as well, but something about MDZS just hits differently to a deeper level for me

MDZS was my first danmei and i loved it so much that it led me down the massive rabbit hole of reading basically everything seven seas has put out lol. Currently SVSSS is probably my favourite out of the three MXTX works purely because its the most chaotic, but in terms of a great romance nobody beats WangXian!

Also this relationship sounds amazing the obvious guy not seeing that the teasing is him hitting on that guy the only thing that scares me is the multiple name thing

@Manninglicious 5 ай бұрын

Yeah the multiple names thing takes a lot of getting used to. They have a character guide in the back of the book that you can reference if you get lost but it does get easier to remember as you go

I love all the discussion on the shades of grey and hypocrisy in the novel. Wei wuxian was truly the most honorable person! (He just personally self sabotage his personal and political image) The dumbest genius ever. I adore that little shit. And yes, please, to a Scum Villain video.

i gotta say, Wei Wuxian is my favorite main character of all time. he’s so charismatic, mischievous but with a heart in a good place. i’m incredibly charmed by him. so of course, although i love TGCF with all of my heart, wangxian is my beloved MXTX couple. their dynamic is so fun, they’re so good together, i just love them dearly. now, i recommend you to complete the MXTX trio and read SVSSS! it’s the first novel that MXTX ever wrote so the quality isn’t on the same level as the other two but it’s still a lot of fun, the main character is hilarious and the humor is on point. the romance dynamic is also really different than the ones in the other books so it might be interesting to explore! edit: oh, never mind! i didn’t see the ending of the video when you said that you’ve read all of MXTX’s books 😭 sorry!

@Manninglicious 5 ай бұрын

Absolutely, I LOVE Xie Lian and Wei Wuxian as protagonists. Shen Qingqiu definitely didn’t charm me as much them so I wasn’t as big a fan of SVSSS as the other two but now I have to do a video about it to complete the trio!

@shori-ssi 5 ай бұрын

@@Manninglicious yeah, he definitely isn’t everyone’s person but i personally find him really relatable and just down to earth in comparison with other protagonists. his snarky commentary is really funny at times and i absolutely love whole gayification of Luo Binghe - from horny, cold-hearted demon lord from the original plot to (still horny) tender crybaby 😂

When I discovered MDZS, it was before the books were officially published. I think The Untamed had just started airing, but I didn’t know anything else. I found a fan translation and idk something took over my body because 3 days later I was finished reading after binging it and my whole brain chemistry was rewritten. The moment Lan Wangji shoves Wei Wuxian against the god damn tree blindfolded and makes out with him was 👏 like this boy said to himself “I will make you forget every other kiss you’ve ever had” while Wei Wuxian is like “my virgin lips will never experience anything better than this!!!” Like how dumb are these two? How dumb and perfect? The smartest, brightest, most talented minds of their generation and they are also the dumbest boys to ever share one brain cell. The bath tub scene is so iconic, though. RIP that bath tub because it died for WangXian Rights.

mdzs has lived rent free in my head for almost 2 years now and i've read the books, watched both shows, lsitened to the audio drama, read the manhua, and even wrote fic. im soo a wei wuxian girlie and love him to absolute death

@MissCado 5 ай бұрын

I started with MDZS Donghua, then listened to the audio drama and finally the book. I think Donghua showcased how powerful WWX is and the romance is better illustrated than the live action. Strongly recommend you to watch the Donghua! Love to hear what’s your opinions on the Donghua! The audio drama is brilliant! Because the voice actors in the audio drama did such a great job, they were later invited to do the voice acting for the Untamed (WWX & LWJ). There is literally no other person can do it better than those two VA. (Fun fact: VA for WWX is doing voice acting for the Wind Master in TGCF; VA for Lan Sizhui in the MDZS Donghua is voice acting for Huacheng in the TGCF’s audio drama.)

Yayyy, you read it! I’m glad you liked it. The moment after the bathtub scene where Lan Wangji says “Normal?” rips my heart out every time. You should read Erha next 😊 it’s my favorite. I didn’t think I could like anything more than Hualian but Ranwan takes up like 80% of my brain. I think you’d really love it. Chu Wanning is my spirit character.

@kikotsukino1629 5 ай бұрын

I love hearing your reviews to this to be honest. It's always nice to hear other fans opinions to my favourite novel. But I just want to add something to this on my end. *** Wei Ying's feelings and his pov **** To shed some light, which I felt like theres a need to, for those who might not really understand Wei Ying's pov. Be warned, long post ahead, but I will appreciate immensely if you take the time to read this ‼️SPOILERS FROM NOVEL ‼️ How Wei Ying felt for Lan Zhan is actually realistic, and if you have read the novel, it's explained why he felt that way... First of all, Wei Ying puts Lan Zhan high up there like he's the epitome of a perfect person. He also have his own insecurities, and that's normal, since he's only human. Some people do take slower to realize their feelings and the other party feelings and THAT'S normal especially when it comes to same sex relationship, since it's not a norm in the society eyes. And for Wei Ying, he doesn't see someone like Lan Zhan would be interested in him in that way is because (1) it isn't because Lan Zhan is doing a crappy job at it, but it's because Wei Ying doesn't think Lan Zhan being as proper as he always is, righteous as he always has been, would be interested in him that way since its a 'same sex' relationship. And 2) he most probably didnt think highly of himself if he felt that way because he probably thought that someone like him who's been slandered by other people, who cultivates the demonic path, why would someone perfect like Lan Zhan be interested in him, etc. I'm not saying that Wei Ying doesn't deserve to be love, because he does, but you need to take these into consideration as well. This is not something to laugh at him or ridicule him about because it is something realistic that can happen to anyone too... Even for hetero relationship/love, they have their insecurities, so can you not imagine how hard it is for same sex love? If anything, for them, they have more worry to think about. Honestly calling someone dense or stupid for *not realising* is unfair, because it's like when you put that label on him, you can't understand that character(in this case, Wei Ying's) feelings or insecurities... Wei Ying clearly expressed his fear in the novel, so I dont know how anyone can miss that. He's not afraid of loving Lan Zhan, he loves him, but what he's afraid of is if he confess to Lan Zhan, he will receive an answer he doesn't want to hear(a rejection), and then they cant return to being friends since they will just be awkward around each other, IF it is a rejection... In the novel, Wei Ying said and touched on Lan Zhan's feelings, even before he realised, he noticed already that Lan Zhan is treating him different(in a good way) when compared to the others, BUT it did also touched on his insecurities where he said (inner monologue) that he couldn't dare to think its something more, because he really cherish what they currently had. Why else do you think Wei Ying got Lan Zhan drunk to affirm if he was right or not(I.e. if Lan Zhan likes him or not? In its own way, that is courage), that's not dense... In the novel, Wei Ying already expressed why he felt that way, so it's understandable. Adding along to when Wei Ying was about to confess to Lan Zhan after they partly did it, Lan Zhan pushed him away, so anyone can get the wrong idea that the other party (Lan Zhan) didn't feel that way (romantically) for him, which is what Wei Ying was afraid of. For Wei Ying's case, what I'm trying to say is, if you were Wei Ying and was about to confess to the person you love (Lan Zhan), and then have the person you love pushed you away after that intimate moment, ofcourse you will be under the impression that he don't love you the same way as you do on him (romantically). So in my eyes, with that all said, Wei Ying isn't dense, or stupid for not knowing Lan Zhan's feelings. It's actually realistic and understandable. If Lan Zhan didn't push him away, Wei Ying would have already confessed before finding out from Lan Xichen, but then we wouldn't have gotten our touching confession that we had. I personally don't mind how it played out in canon because it gave me the touching confession that I loved (because of all those angst).... I mean, it's not hard to understand his feelings especially when the novel already touched on it why he felt that way becase he's just too afraid to confess to Lan Zhan and then having to face the possibility of Lan Zhan rejection and then them losing what they currently have I.e. can't be friends again etc. Wei Ying being too afraid to confess to Lan Zhan upfront about his own feelings is the same as how Lan Zhan is too, they both are afraid of what the other person would feel about them and they are content to keep their relationship as it is. So to end this whole topic and what I'm trying to say, I will never label Wei Ying is dense or stupid for not realising because I can understand why he felt that way for all said, it's normal and can happen to anyone.
