Shut your whining and trust the plan!

Didn't they say it would all be fixed after episode 3? Now they're saying, what exactly? It'll all be fixed next season?

>>280824923
LoTM is far better than Lily's terrible show.

I'll keep watching it, but they made some goofy decisions.

>>280825078
cute girl!

>>280825078
I can't believe he got away with it. Why are the nighthawks so bad at their job?

>>280825238
That was a bad matchup. Plus she had the home field advantage.

>>280825238
They are not, the fight in the show is literally fan fiction lol

>this is the most attractive woman in the entire lotm franchise

lol

>>280824835 (OP)
Yea. ATP I'm tired of seeing "donghuas didn't do this", "donghuas didn't do that" every half an hour.
Like bitch stfu and let other people enjoy in peace

>>280825364
To be fair it's the staff behind the show bring it up just as much in an attempt to deflect criticism. Even preemptively.

>>280825318
She's the "Jewel of Backlund" not just Attractive. Either way she's cute so shutup.
>>280825364
I've read the WN twice now and I'm enjoying it.

When have you ever seen the director of a series with such a high level of production make multiple statements trying to placate backlash while only 5 episodes in? Yes, I know it's primarily directed at China but I think we can extend it a bit.

I liked the show, so I came here to talk about it, only to find the constant bitching and moaning and whining and crying about how "the donghua didn't do this! The donghua didn't do that!" There is the occasional fun post but holy fuck this is fucking miserable. I've read the first volume, so I kinda get it, but I also don't... at all. A bit of criticism here and there, sure, but this is ridiculous.

I have personal reasons for sticking around this long, but can you imagine what it's like for excited donghua fans, looking to talk about this new thing that they like, only to find this? It's no wonder the series isn't as popular as you fags want it to be (which it is still really popular for a Chinese production). You're constantly talking shit about it!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the worst part of the donghua is the complaining novel fans. You fags are successfully gatekeeping the series.

Why does she keep poisoning her dog

>>280825450
Tencent probably has a gun to the groups head even though they activelly sabatoged the first three episodes.

>>280825436
God damn LoTM has ugly girls.

>>280825486
She doesn't. The dog is just being a dog. And she's still a sheltered young lady.
>>280825503
Are you just trying to get You's?

>>280825450
There will be no adaptation until the end of time where you won't have source fags losing their mind, especially when it's this different

>>280824835 (OP)
I've said this from the very beginning since Episode 2, but the DongHua does a very good job of the "Show, not tell" aspect. They leave many subtle clues and hints instead of outright pointing them out.

The client who commissioned the Nighthawks to find the missing Elliot and the faint sound of scribbling whenever the feather appears are some examples that come to mind.

In episode 5, even without knowing anything about the Demoness Sect, you can tell with certainty that the woman who bumped into Klein is Tris because she is holding her arm the same way he did, due to the gunshot wound he obtained at Tingen Underground Market while being pursued.

>>280824835 (OP)
Isnt it sad that the director has to tell people that in a mystery donghua there are some misteries set up for later?

>>280825610
I agree. Unfortunatelly the modern audience isn't used to that and doesn't pay attention lol. Just about everything they show has been explained at some point earlier. And if not, it's a goddam mystery show just fucking wait!

>>280825503
They're cute. For me, it's Elizabeth. She already wants to fuck.

>Chinese Ministry of Culture demands Tencent adapt Lord of Mysterious in order to show the world China's cultural dominance.
>It's shit.

Who's gonna pay the price?

>>280825364
>>280825450
>donghua didn't do this
This isn't how English people type. It's a very awkward way of phrasing things. You read like a marketer.

>>280825662
The fans. Like always.
#280825669
Oh good the racist schizo is back.

For me episode 5 was absolute PEAK?

Legit everything was perfect, the detective work was cool, the fight was amazing and we got the best background art I've ever set my eyes on legit at every second of the show.

The underground market did NOT look this good in the book.

The pacing was good and the plot for this episode should be comprehensible to anyone who's actually watching the show. There was nothing confusing in this episode and it really feels good after seeing some donghua onlies being left hella bamboozled after the first 4 eps.

This woman is a 10/10.

>>280825730
>The underground market did NOT look this good in the book.
Litterally copied Harry Potter lol. Even the music in some parts is almost a 1 for 1. Chinese gonna Chinese.

>>280825730
Yeah every episode seems to improve over the last, the scenery and the action was peak fiction on this one
>>280825758
T. racist

>>280825758
She's also lewd as hell and dtf. Makes Leonard blush sometimes. They just don't show that in the show.

>>280825730
I just didn't like how those Punisher guys jobbed

Two different situations.

>>280825450
Based. This is an anime board, nobody cares about muh novel.

>>280824835 (OP)
I love how the flashy animation is working to get me into the series but everytime I come near a Lotm thread there’s a good handful of fags who apparently don’t think people like me exist or side swipe us with insults for liking the show. It’s hard to get into a show when it fans is canabilising itself trying to get rid of any new fans just because they don’t meet an avid Rick and Morty enjoyer level of intelligence. People who want this show to be much slower paced but also keep its viewership numbers high enough to warrant multiple seasons don’t understand that the people making this show want as many people to watch it as possible, not as few as possible. I’d understand the anger if the show was already canceled and the flashy scenes didn’t seem to be bringing anybody new in or not guaranteeing a future for the series. But as far as I looked up season 2 is confirmed which means the flashy scenes are working and it is giving the series a future. You’re mad about sitting on a bus with a crayon eating window licker but if they weren’t there then the seat would be empty. And if the seats are empty there’s no point for the anime/bus in general. Animation isn’t cheap and I think having a few crayon eaters in the audience to pay the bills doesn’t hurt as much as your making it out to be

>>280825851
Novelfags when every episode isn't 30 minutes of Klein monologuing about how to eat stale, rock hard bread

>>280825450
Same situation as the lord of the rings movies, without going any further, the fellowship of the ring omitted half of the first book (and something more), completely changed the personalities of the characters and took away the prominence of some, even though they won 4 oscars, there are fans who read the books and think it's crap (and this applies to the two towers and The return of the king too)... anyway, it's impossible to please everyone.

>>280825450
I am someone interacting with this story through the Donghua first, with no prior knowledge of the webnovel or manhua. From my point of view, it is undeniably very fast paced, but not impossibly so. All of the information that you need IS there. I think the problem is the speed of the show absolutely requires 100% of your attention 100% of the time. Long gone are the days of 90's media where you could just leave the room take a piss, get a beer, smoke a cigarette and return without losing the plot.

The folks expecting and demanding a 1:1 adaptation, regardless of the story in question, need a reality check. They are entirely different art mediums, each with their pros and cons. What works for one will not necessarily work for the other. I am glad the author and the rest of the team recognize this and are comfortable in adapting the story to screen. I am hooked and will probably pick up the web novel after this first season concludes.

I find it funny that weterns says that china hate gays or etc. But i swear to god that i haven't read a single famous modern chinese web novel that didn't had LGBT+ protagonists.
Even in the only one that the mc seems to be hetero, you have a group of transgenders that like cukcing hetero males as one of the main protagonists of not only this novel but the sequel too.
The mc from the sequel is trans too for most of it.

Post a single frame from this show that doesn't look like a blurry overprocessed mess.

So where do anons read this webnovel?

>>280824835 (OP)
>read the synopsis
>first couple of words is a chinese name
>it is the protagonist
Dropped.

>>280830991
Everyone knows LotM is the "Only Good New Chinese Novel" that's not harem/ai/trash jank of the current web novel scene lol.

>>280830991
>first couple of words is a chinese name
>"Klein"
Will someone tell him? Or just send him to
>>>/his/

>>280831068

>>280831165
Ah yes, "In a Victorian world" sounds like a "chinese name" indeed. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt that you at least meant the show itself where the first word (after the flash forward) is indeed a name, but it seems you really meant the synopsis but simply don't understand the difference between "is" and "contains".

Damn, Chang sure is peeved.

>>280831165
What makes absolutely no sense other than for propaganda reasons is how Chinese web novels that take place in other worlds have chinese culture and names. Like bro, we get it, you are a Chinese nationalist, but, could you at least do it in a subtle not shoe-horned fashion?

>>280831431
Japanese isekai often does the same thing, or the protagonist enlightens them about the superiority of japanese customs.

>>280831431
Ah yes, stereotypical chinese names like Klein, Benson, Melisa, Sonia, Alger and Audrey. Retard.

I read up to chapter 260, it really is “trust the plan”, end of volume 1 pretty much explains a lot of the questions I had, while keeping many things still a secret for the time being.

Not anime or manga

Klein lampooning about watching porn via voyeurism for example is actually funny, and so is every on Klein x lampoon moment, it would not be the same without it
