…though i did just have unfortunate and highly cursed but not inaccurate thought that at least some of the plot/coherency issue may be familiar from acd holmes to bbclock adaptation issues, i.e. the addition of Big Backstory Plot followed by the shoehorning of said plot into what were mostly standalone cases in the original writing with varying degrees of success
#catch me eating popcorn @ seeing the 极乐塔 arc getting adapted onscreen (i have to caveat that i AM a mystery nerd at core)#also trivia: this is the case where novel!llh acquires hulijing actually#anyway to summarise the key difference is novel!llh truly gets to be Just A Lil Guy (annoying too-smart gremlin) like 90% of the time#whereas drama!llh is just here like. tortured greek hero on main. can't catch a break from angst the poor man#to borrow a succinct take from lofter: to novel!llh lxy is just a 黑历史. maybe a little cringe in retrospect but he's moved on#but for drama!llh lxy is an entire Painful Past To Atone and so any carryover themes/dialogue on letting go etc kinda rings a little hollow#no one in this show has moved on not even the monk. amituofo help yall man#mysterious lotus casebook#ramble tag
