it only makes sense that i start with MDZS. this will probably always be one of Those pieces of media that ill forever be attached to. it feels like coming home, probably bc it let me get close to a group of people who saved my life in late 2019. famously adapted into The Untamed (see below)

shaking your hand fay 🫶🖤 truly the story is life changing!!! very much like a warm hug!! and also ive cried so many times so maybe also like a cathartic hug ive truly maybe watched cql like 8 times in full 😭😭 and the movies. its just so easy to lose yourself in seven seas has an illustrated tl!!

i started reading when it was a fan translation epub i had downloaded on my laptop in college and i didnt get that far because it was a tough time in my life, but CQL and the fandom at the time kept me going. ill forever love the nie brothers and fatal journey. jgy is my jester!!! jin ling is my son

so obviously my opinion is biased but.. guys idk. MDZS is just that bitch. between the theme of regrets and revenge, and how revenge is fruitless. it manages to not only set the stage in an engaging way by showing you wwx’s path to current day, but also set breadcrumbs for you to notice on a re-read

wwx is also just one of Those protagonists. he makes it so interesting to root for him bc he is such a victim of his narrative. He really is a good representation of how beaten down someone with good intentions and care for the world will be by politics and those in power. he's an inventor!!!

wwx and lwjs relationship takes the backseat to just how insane everyones plotting goes, but its never Not There. wwx is thinking about him often, and lwj will Never forget him, branding himself with the same mark and adopting the young boy wwx cared for and raising him as his own. theyre SO in love
