hiii, could you please tell me if the donghua has any inappropriate/explicit scenes? I wanted to watch it during my free time at school, where I'm surrounded by people so I wanted to check first haha, thanks!
It doesnât have sex scenes, but it should have some violence/potential gore. Iâm not sure to what degree made it in the donghua though since I have never watched past the first few episodes.
Hi I hope this isnât a dumb question but I saw that you answered another question about the meaning of er-gege and I was wondering if gege was like oppa in that itâs normally women who say it to older men or is it normal for guys to also say it?
Hi! No worries, itâs a bit confusing. I donât understand the ins and outs of it myself, I think women would normally only say it to older guys if they have a more intimate relationship (or maybe on the internet, fans might use it?). Either way, itâs a cutesy term of address. I think usually women call their older male friends ge or surname-ge.
I donât think itâs a term guys generally use? I could be wrong. I did once see a video of two musical actors reading each otherâs fan letters and they got embarrassed reading gege out loud since itâs not something theyâd call each other even though theyâre good friends.
(of course, itâs an actual kinship term for âolder brotherâ as well, so anyone would use it to say âi have an older brother/two older brothers etc)
pls correct me if iâm wrong. when I was young, I used to call everyone ć„ć„ and ć§ć§ (in cantonese), but Iâm pretty sure thatâs bc I donât actually know cantonese (also they were way older, I was like 10 lol). I know a weird mix of set phrases and some âbaby talkâ language lol so take what I say with a grain of salt.
so. if youre in the same generation more or less, calling someone gege or jiejie is normal. it's also normal for cousins, or close family friends. it can be flirty with adults, but guys can also say like (name)-ge as a recognition of like... seniority, or strength, among close companions. that sort of thing was more common in the past, when things were more formal. gege, two words, is definitely more childish and is for family members for guys.
honestly wei wuxian is just making lan wangji sound a) like he's stronger/someone to be looked up to and also b) younger, as the second gege... but also it's kinda unintentionally flirty.

Is the mo dao zu shi manhua in english completed? If yes where can I find it....?
I have a feeling itâs not complete yet? You can find it if you look on google, it might be listed as âGrandmaster of Demonic Cultivationâ. I know ExR was translating it originally, but idk if theyâre still the ones on the project.
do you have the link of Mo Dao Zu Shi in Chinese? the original one
I think itâs locked on the original platform? You can buy the physical books online. Other than that, youâd have to look for it on your own, I canât read chinese so I canât look it up.
hi i so hate to bother you, i read your post about their speculated/actual ages, and iâve been trying to wrack my brain to remember how old jiang cheng was when he became sect leader. like i know he was probably 17-20 but for some reason i cannot think of his exact age (whether itâs my memory or it was never outright said i do not and i am horrible with time progression) , so i was wondering if you happened to know
I no longer have any idea whatâs going on with the timeline of this novel haha, sorry. Iâve been mia for so long and I never had a good grasp on the ages except what was explicitly stated in the text. it wasnât really outright stated, like many of the ages in this book, you just have to extrapolate.
I think the text does state what age they are when Xuanwu thing happens, and you can kind of base the rest off how much time passes between that event and the sunshot campaign.
UGH Zhou Shen sang Huang Cheng Du again and Iâm dying. After watching one of the singing shows he was on (Super Vocal), I have an extreme bias for live singing over OSTs loool. I think this performance sounds better than the recorded track. Dayu/Big Fish will always be my favorite from him, but his ethereal voice really sums up the tragedy of the Yi City arc.
Chapter 4: Discussion Between Three Fools In The Ju Yang Temple At Night (I)
Another loooong piece of exposition about the ghost bridegroom. Little urban legends, folktales, and rumors like these can be fun in a novel if you go into this story knowing itâs going to take its time to set the world up and eases into the action and main plot. I honestly skipped some of it the first time around, but now I can appreciate the worldbuilding it delivers. Itâs stuff like this that makes a world feel real and lived in, not just a set piece used to tell the reader about some awesome main characters and the stuff they end up doing.
I really do like how all of these scenarios are so realistic. A few missing brides and their attendants out of how many thousands donât get snatched up by a ghost on their wedding day? Why should the bigshots in heaven do something? To them, those brides are tiny fish in a big sea. It takes a wealthy manâs daughter going missing for them to finally do something about it, which is, well. Itâs how the world works. Those other bridesâ families had to have been just as upset, itâs only that this family was able to raise a fuss large enough to attract attention.Â
Itâs so relatable, almost no matter what culture you come from, and it definitely makes sense for the time period. Thatâs how you make a reader feel connected to a fantasy world. I could go on, because thatâs just how much Iâve been irked by other fantasies Iâve read in the past few years, but Iâll move on now. :p
We launch into some investigative work and wow, does MXTX like this sort of thing haha. MDZS is also basically a detective plotline.Â
[âYour Highness the Crown Prince, how did you decide that the ghost is a bridegroom? That canât be certain. No one has ever seen it before. How can you tell if itâs a man or a woman, if itâs old or young? Are you thinking of things too simply?â] The fact that Nan Feng thought of this is neat. Yup, assumptions are...well, everyone knows what they are.
[âFu Yao, why are you rolling your eyes again?â] Xie Lian should probably stop asking this to save his breath.
[Donât mention how their own mothers wouldnât recognize them, there were some Heavenly Officials who couldnât even recognize their own Godly statues.] Lol some more realism thrown in there. Makes sense. It gives the narrative a good excuse to be humorous which is honestly necessary for stories set in rather bleak times in human history. Iâve said this about MDZS before. The one thing I really liked about it is that Wei Wuxianâs narrative kept things light-hearted or at least had gallows humor, to contrast with the absolute angst-fest that was the events of that novel. Striking that balance between serious and humorous is important. To me, at least.
So, Fu Yao is super fastidious. One way to distinguish him from Nan Feng.
[Unfortunately, who would have thought that Fu Yao would choose to leisurely speak up now. âI know what you wanted to ask. You must have been wondering, out of so many believers who had come here today, why were there such a large amount women, right?â] Heâs also a little shit, isnât he lol.
[It was clear you could no longer count on him. Thus, Xie Lian had no alternatives other than doing something himself.] If you want a job done right, do it yourself! Xie Lianâs narrative is so frank itâs great.
Itâs also interesting to note that even though heâs definitely matured since his early days of Bad Decision Making, it hasnât entirely faded. Back then, even though people told him what the consequences of his actions were, we see he didnât believe them and did it anyways. Now, even though heâs more mature, when he goes to help Little Ying he doesnât really think of how she will react to seeing him half undressed lol.
When it comes to doing the right thing, heâll do it without hesitation. But he doesnât always think of the consequences, whether thatâs because the possibility just never occurs to him or he doesnât think things will turn out like that. Itâs a character flaw, but for once this flaw doesnât annoy me lol.
[The moment his voice faded, Nan Feng pointed at him before asking, âYou⊠Did your wound open?â] So Fu Yao is the asshole, Nan Feng can indeed show concern for others (possibly those he is actually acquainted with only). But also, is it possible for a heavenly official to be wounded so badly and not be recovered from it? Maybe he thought it was a recent thing. Or maybe Xie Lian not having his powers has to do with it.
[They were the wounds he had accumulated as he rolled down from the Heavens.] Which begs the question...he fell from heaven a while ago, so are they still wounds? Scars?Â
[A black collar encircled his snow-white neck.] More of these markings?
Alas, that shall be answered on another day, because that is the end of the chapter.
Did Lan Zhan stop wearing his headband after he got together with Wei Wuxian?
Does he ever stop wearing his headband? I didnât think so, but I last read the novel a few years ago and I never finished the later chapters so I donât really know.
the jjwxc link is not available. is there another link to read the original jjwxc version?
I donât know where you can read the novel online (in Chinese) anymore since the novel was locked by the platform, ironic considering both an animation and live action were produced based off the novel. So aside from physical copies, Iâm not sure where to read the original.
