What readers say
Real reader reviews pulled from Goodreads and Douban — verbatim, in the reviewer's own language, with their star rating.
Wei Wuxian pointed at himself with a wide, happy grin. “What about this one?” “Mine,” Lan Wangji answered. i have 100 problems and wangxian can solve 1000 of them _ “Well, ain’t that strange. How can such a dull person always make me so happy?” WWX: i fought a very pretty man last night and i love to tease him why?? oh bcs hes so boring pfft not bcs i have a crush on him or anything.
I got into this novel (technically, first third of a novel) backward, in terms of the story’s progression through, now, four different media. I first hit the live-action streaming TV version The Untamed , the fullest and longest at 50 one-hour episodes, then the animation, then the web comic as far as I’ve found it—it’s not available in my preferred Kindle mode—and, now that the authorized translation of the parent…
I read the original work two years ago, saw the anime and live adaptations, read the manhua, and am now reading these official translations. By this point, I've practically memorized the entire story, including all plot twists. I wish I could do the same with my course materials. I've already stated how much I enjoy the story in my original review, so there's nothing more I can say.
