- where should i start?
- there is no specific order, so you can start anywhere! but the novel is the original source so i would recomment reading it first and leave the live action for last. the drama has a lot of plot changes and the donghua changes a little the order of what happened so be warned!
- i would also recomment to get a visual guide for learning their name/faces easily. this sect guide is very helpful for beginners.
- why some people call it the untamed/chen qing ling/cql?
- that is just the official name for the live-action! chen qing ling is the official chinese name and the untamed is the official english name.
- "why did they changed the name and what does it means?" you ask? well, there's an explanation for this too!
- i don't want to read the novel, can i only watch the drama?
- of course! it's up to you if you only want to get into one of these. a lot of people get into the drama only, because of the r-18 content of the novel, and cql is worth watching on its own.
