   It is indeed an odd experience to be part of the 1% of the human population who was not swept up by the #Untamed craze and kept failing to be swept up by it despite numerous times trying to.

   I tried reading the novel, watched the donghua and even the #Cdrama and could not last more than a couple of episodes. People tell me to "soldier on" for a few more EPs but I couldn't I just couldn't.

   Also tried reading the author's other books & just 😴

   I think my 🧠 is built diff or something

   #Cdramas

     @loke it is a hyper popular Cdrama with lots of homoerotic subtext 😁

     I think

     @liztai@hachyderm.io People like different things, it's fine. Just let it go. People talk about things they enjoy. They hardly linger on things they don't, unless it's popular but they hate it. It was out during initial covid lockdowns, it was a lot of en circles first Chinese drama, the novel it's based on was many people's first danmei novel so the timing of it was perfect. You don't have to watch something you don't enjoy. If you've tried a few episodes, and it's not for you, then it's not for you. I didn't like the show but I know exactly why I didn't like the show and it's probably for different for you and I've also learnt to accept not liking some really popular books because I'm just not the target audience. And that's okay

     @geraineon I did try the Seven Seas version, and part of what out me off is the er, Americanisms that occasionally pop up. It took me out of the moment and made the novel feel very juvenile 😅

     @liztai@hachyderm.io I didn't finish watching the show. I liked the novel for the characters and relationships and I found the story interesting. I like how the tragedy is set up. There are some things I don't like about the novel too but my overall experience was enjoyable. The official tl has some issues. I didn't read the seven seas version so idk how well those reads.
     
     Again, it's perfectly okay to not like. Just means it's not for you and that's okay!
