Full disclosure, I have read the entirety of the webnovel The Desolate Era, the "source material", and I gotta say this disgusting thing they want to call an "adaptation" pisses me off so much for how disingenuous it is. This has basically nothing to do with the webnovel, besides a fewof the same names and general concept. If you started to watch this or are thinking of watching it, do youself a favor and go read the webnovel. It is incredible and, although long, definitely worth the read even if you take your time, because I'm aware that it is fairly long and not alot of people can read the same thing for so long without a break. All in all, read the novel and don't watch this "adaptation"
