A Record Of Mortal’s Journey To Immortality Episode 195 Indonesia, English Sub

I’m sorry I did not care much for this episode at all. It is so pale in comparison to the description in the novel. The only thing worthy of praise is that they made the Late Nascent Soul chase much more interesting. Other than that, they removed wayyyy too much from the Novel. I am not against refining source material, but when you cut away so much that the finished product loses the intent and spirit of the original author, now that is a problem. (BTW, why do some character voices sound low and strange, like they are using AI?)

Here is a rundown of things that were changed or outright omitted from today’s episode:

They removed the part where Han Li uses the Yin Devil Execution Art against the Mulan Saintess (This is forgivable cuz she blocks it and it doesn’t change much of the story, but it would have been cool to witness)We don’t see Han Li use the Silver Chime Bell to impede the Saintess’ movement, and the way they make Han Li throw that 1000 Fold Mountain was just so lazy(expressionless https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f611.svg ) for such a powerful ancient treasure; he doesn’t wield it or utilise it as properly as was described in the books. (They can do better)They completely forgot to add the scene where Silvermoon uses the Purple Cloudlace to restrict the Saintess effectively. In fact, she was supposed to go a step further and use the secondary attack power of the artefact, which is the ‘Purple Cloudlace True Jade Fire’. Once again, they underutilise Silvermoon when we could have seen a glimpse of her true nature, AND don’t get me started with that truly boring way she used the ancient flower basket to capture the so-called ‘greatest’ Mulan treasure. I expected some kind of minimal struggle by the treasure in the exciting way they have always portrayed the flower basket capturing other itemsNow this one is absolutely unforgivable: We don’t get to see the destruction of the Silver Chime Bell…WTFFFF???. I think they just hate that treasure for no particular reason. First, they failed to introduce it properly in Han Li’s fight against Wen Tianren when it first appeared in the Novel. Now they can’t even give it A PROPER BURIAL. Yes, in the novel, the Bell is absolutely destroyed by the flames from the Mulan Ancient Lantern. The bell literally melts; that’s why the Saintess tells Han Li that he would lose his Life-bound Treasure too. This helps show the power of the flames from the Lantern, and they just did not show it. SHAME.IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE. They absolutely nerfed the Apex Purple Flames FFS. In the Novel, Han li first combines the celestial blue ice flames with his sword to attack the Ancient Lantern Flames, but he underestimates the flame’s power; the flame sets his giant sword ablaze literally, and for a sec he thought it would get destroyed like his silver chime bell. Then he introduces the Apex Purple flames, which take the form of a bird and strike his own sword, and then begin to battle the Ancient lantern flames. I really waited so long to see the stunning visuals they would cook up for having a standoff between two powerful flames on a burning giant sword, only to be disappointed by the changes they made. WHY CHANGE STUFF FROM THE NOVEL IF YOU AREN’T GONNA MAKE IT BETTER? GOOD LORD.
