!HUGE SPOILERS AHEAD!
Jun Wu’s eng voice might be the hottest deepest voice i’ve ever heard, however
I do like the original Jun Wu’s dub much more
Because! And it’s not a complaint, no, the writer and the va did an amazing job
But!
They made him a little too obvious.
In the book I could NEVER suspect Jun Wu of anything, he seemed genuinely good, wise and just
I mean I was spoiled from the begging that he is an asshole
and I fucking FORGOT, because he just was so G O O D
And that’s what’s SO AWESOME about him as the main fucking villain, and as a character in general
Because once he genuinely was this good. And he probably really wanted to be. Wanted to pretend that he still can be.
Because he pretended far too well.
And in the original chinese dub it’s absolutely the same. He doesn’t feel like a villain.
Not at ALL. He is like a tired, wise and strict, but good-meaning and caring parent.
His manipulations are so incredibly good
Because they go unnoticed.
I absolutely adore him as a character, this mad ass with two opposite personalities, seemingly saint at one and pure evil at the other
But what do you think? Did you ever suspect Jun Wu while reading the books?
Or maybe he was also more obvious in the English version and just wasn’t in my language?

Okay but what if JW is genuinely completely exhausted at some point in the story and he just kind of gives in. Stops caring. Oh heaven needs the emperor? Too bad, the emperor is laying in bed contemplating suicide

Oof. I love myself an exhausted villain

I don't have a lot of thoughts about He Xuan, but I do think it's kinda funny that he's the only ghost king who isn't obsessed with Xie Lian.
Like I imagine him finding Hua Cheng's secret Xie Lian shrine with the thousands of statues he made himself of Xie Lian... And like it just gives him so much psychic damage he's like "damn even hanging out with Qi Rong would be better than this" only to find out that Qi Rong *also* has a bunch of Xie Lian statues he made himself just laying around... Only his Xie Lian statues are all like bowing to him and crying so...
Then idk how but he ends up encountering... Just... *Everything* White No Face has going on and at that point his Xie Lian obsession perspective has been warped so much that Hua Cheng just seems completely normal like
HC: I like Xie Lian a normal amount
HX: .......yes 👈😎
