a quick review
The "Jade Dynasty" (2019) movie could be a very fertile ground for fanfiction; in other words, the plot is so thin and hole-y, that it hardly makes sense on its own.
It might have fared better if it was a 40-episode drama, allowing some backstory, laws of the world, and intrigue to be developed and incorporated.
Or if it was only a prequel to the real story, explaining how Zhang Xiaofan has become the wielder of the weird mixture of magics. But it would have looked better as a series of fragmented flashbacks in the main story.
Moral choices of the protagonists? Them finding out their vulnerabilities and being forced to overcome those? Inner conflict? Something that would engage the viewer and make them cheer for or worry for the protagonists? ...Gimme that! I want that!
...And what's with the monkey?..

Just finished reading Jade Dynasty and oh god, I can't with how the novel ended, like wtf
First of all, I'd like to point out the beautiful writing the author has; he has a cool way of describing and decorating the paragraphs and making them fluent at the same time. Fan of his writing and I'm going to read his next shared universe novel, for sure.
Poor zxf, his life was full of sorrows, but the novel made it quite clear that mortal life is that, the peril, the existence of many tones of grey and grivances (it's not entirely that but, anyway), and I'm glad he lived up to what the novel set.
And then, I loved how by the end he was so ethereal. As if he had transcended matters of heaven and earth. Calming to a certain extent.
Now, lxq loves him so much it hurts (she was with him and let him know he wasn't alone 😭😭). The author played with us a lot because each time she was in danger and someone saved her, it was never zxf.
I'm glad they didn't officiate anything, not even in the epilogue (tho deep down that was what I wanted the most), cause zxf needed to let go of the last shadow of Bi Yao embracing him, not forget her (in fact, I liked that detail of the green robe waving near him), but rather idk, his love for her and xq changing.
I like how they both (zxf and lxq) could live well without each other and were at ease with their reunion.
It was (literally) like the last chapter of a book and the end of the story, but with a new beginning full of possibilities and a new book ready to be written.
⭐⭐⭐⭐/⭐
(Is there an extra?)

Jade Dynasty is low-key hilarious, bc it sets up a huge mystery for Xiao Zhan's character motivation and then literally never solves them.
✨Spoilers ✨
Who massacred his village?
I dunno, one of these 8 people, don't worry about it.
