on spirealm and how to wife a virtual bf:

(but who's wifing who?)

listen i have very mixed reaction after completing the drama. only tried to get through one arc per day until i reached Sachiko's... i basically just couldn't put it down. that arc was an absolute fave. all the set designs were unbelievably accurate, it was like being transported into the world of doors.

(after all, i fell in love with xi zixu's writing because they're really good in describing horror elements.)

it was such a good experience all in all !!

but since they basically changed the premise while keeping the arc elements, the ending was quite expected. it became a bit predictable and cliché (virtual reality, opponent organisations, capitalism...) with all these cartoon-ish antagonist forces, instead of the novel premise which was... far more bleak.

i'm glad they kept most of nanqiu's notable scenes and lines. and sneaked this in.

one thing i was really pissed about was the absence of the actual gu longming. he was such a memorable character in the novel. im so sorry, comrade, you were cut down from expenses.

games were also being cleared in a more emotional way. idk how else to explain it. although it was not that bad, it made me miss the novel's creepier vibes.

some off screen deaths were also made significant on the drama plot, which i appreciate very much because it made the stakes higher.

(i said, you know, like a liar haahaahhaah who would've thought this shit would hurt ten times more)

NOW the best thing about having the doors be related to qiushi's past and this best friend we never saw is... every doors were spawned from quishi and 这好朋友的 brilliant brains and the reveal about nanzhu's existence was just so fucking homoerotic all these STEM gays in my screen makes me wanna throw hands.

(cute date af)

*intense bro fist bump*
