@hereforthmangas It's not going to change, not for a long time, so if CSI: Faux Imperial China isn't up your alley, this series might not be your cup of tea.

@Inkxin @kuma That's the Webnovel. The manga is based on the Light Novel. There are significant differences.

@Grimmycoffee it's somewhere in early Volume 3, but there's literally no point, the novel doesn't go into any more detail than this

Oh, so they shifted this segment here. It was supposed to happen pretty much at the start. @StickyTar Still damn good though.

@personal852 Nothing much really, it's just that he becomes so powerful, the story regresses into revolving set pieces showing how powerful he is, with little to no variation. Essentially more of the same, then more of the same, then more of the same. And the more powerful he gets, the less...

Not the first time I've noticed this, but the story is straying massively from the Webnovel. I wonder how much it'll affect the dynamics of this series, and for better or for worse.

Somehow, the webnovel Jinshi is just a far more interesting character than the LN/manga version. Still, it's really fun to see his delusions regarding Mao Mao finally be given visual form. However, the manga has really done Rihaku dirty, it's cut out the core of his character development...

@MyriadDestiny 'Lemaikalangkong' just means 'don't tell anyone'. As for 'kongkalikong' without context the first 'kong' can be anything.

I foresaw this happening in the comments. If anyone else sees this. This series is most explicitly not historical. The author doesn't even pretend to be historically accurate, and in fact makes no effort whatsoever to make it historically accurate. Everything is just a setting for the story...

Poor Rihaku. I wonder if his role has changed so much to add more spice to the romance subplot.

Wow, the changes to the original story are legion. Not sure if a good thing.

Interesting. Unlike the novel, they still don't make it clear in the manga that he's a Eunuch.

This series is great, though it seems that they have made significant changes to the story from the original novel.

The translations are hot garbage, but otherwise this series is promising. I hope it's as good as the webnovel. Also, for people who are reading this thinking of China, while the series is well-researched and detailed in some areas, this country is 100% fictionalized for the sake of plot. This...

Thus signifies the end of anything interesting about this series. It's been a good run. The rest hereon is pretty garbage based on the source material.

This is the second-last interesting arc before a massive nosedive in the quality of the source material, enjoy it while it lasts, people.

Enjoy it while you can, people, because I've read the novel, and it goes downhill from hereon so fast it's pretty sad.

Having read the novel... Enjoy this while it lasts, because you're basically near the climax of the story, and the second half is garbage.
