The PlusUltra Perspective

One thing I PROMISE to do is ALWAYS give you my real and genuine reaction. To those that truly love this series. I RESPECT you! Please continue to support LOTM regardless of my opinions! My hope is that I can re-watch in English DUB and hopefully that might help in some way.

I appreciate the honesty. It was very hard to understand....maybe English might be easier to understand, but I think it is one of those things that maybe we might have needed to read the book. Unfortunately I didn't so I am not fully getting it.

PEAS SLANDER??? FIGHT MEEEE 🤣

I am surprised by lamb too. Mostly meats that are that fatty are popular with the Arabs so it kinda stood out to me. But the way she mentioned it being like... a reward? Ig it's not supposed to be something they eat much but klein likes it. Like that one dish you like a lot, can only eat rarely and sometimes it's cooked to celebrate something?

Calling old people especially old women young is usually like a flattery thing. Many women at least in my country get very mad if you act like they're the age they are...idk something about being old gets on their nerves??? Despite being true?? Idk. But calling old women young or active and all is usually a flattery thing or distraction thing. They soften a bit if you act like that (but idk if its the same in tingen)

Stella

Tarot cards, card games and like...introducing efficient sea travel? That's the kind of thing he's seen on earth and learned about in history so not too far fetched to think the emperor has stopped foot on earth I think??

The lil interlude you called the OP lists the gods and goddesses that are worshipped in this world. If I remember right, there was only one goddess and the rest were gods or other spirits. Which answers your questions about 'which goddess'

Zhou mingrui = zh sound is pronounced like j. So like Jou Mingrui

Stella

I think he called it 'an attempt' because clearly its neither made him lucky nor sent him back (he tried to reverse whichever spell sent him here). He doesn't wanna reveal WHAT he was attempting So he'll go for 'mysterious boss sounding' thing...hence AN ATTEMPT and no details about it

Stella

Ah it's a bit different from Joe but not too much so that works!

Szymon

you're not really supposed to get it at first, that's the fun of mysteries ;_;

Stella

The grey fog seems to be disguising their appearances and their voices (at least kleins voice)

I get that and for some people this might be fun. I love mysteries but I felt like they were trying to pack way too much lore and terms without explanation (or accurate translations) into these 2 episodes. A story does not need to be linear to be enjoyable. I love the "Heavenly delusion" manga, which is by no means linear. It feels like the creators of the LOTM Donghua need to slow down and take more time with the source material. This seems to be a common complaint among people who have read the novel series as well. I am still going to give it a chance and stay open minded. I really do want to like it and was very excited for it to come out. It was very beautiful but at times the animation was a bit blurry. I will be honest and please don't hate me for saying this, but it has not been the best start. I want to be pulled into a universe and not feel like I am drowning in it. With how highly LOTM is talked about by fans, it must be an amazing story ! I hope the creators of the Donghua take the time to flesh out characters and world building and not rush the story.
