Party

We readers knew what's coming in the next episode when we watched episode 8.

Donghua watchers said episode 8 was funny, but little did they knew what's going to befall in the next episode.

This is, well to be honest, the happiest season out of all.

People are not ready what's coming next.

This episode was just another masterpiece, Lord of the Mysteries never disappoints in giving peak after peak episodes.

This is geniunely such a heart breaking episode, lotm peaked at this ep since it started at ep 1 and will continue to do so, this deserves a better rating than all the previous eps or in par with ep 6 if not more, the musics and the cinematography were perfevtly done, the characters emotions were portrailled in such a good way.

Supernatural power, human-surpassing abilities, abstract concepts, knowledge of the beyond, and unnatural instincts are some of the powers that come with being a beyonder. If I were in high school, would this not be the coolest thing to become? But this, and the other episodes in this later part of the series have been touching upon the dark side of the beyonder world. Mysteries, horror, evil gods, corruption, temptation and now, it touches upon the prospect of what happens when your own ally, someone you share dinner with, becomes a monster after being corrupted? This episode follows one of the members of our Nighthawks getting corrupted, by what? The Hidden Sage. The show gave this information rather indirectly, Crester Cesimir, Klein's test-taker told him to be careful of taint from the high sequence beyonder of his pathway, in case they may be evil existences. While Klein himself may not have any need of that yet, another Nighthawk member from the Mystery Pryer pathway was indeed getting tainted by his pathway's 'deity' level figure (I think), The Hidden Sage. It shows the absolute fear and dominance of a high sequence beyonder within one's pathway, and we have already seen how Zaratul may be connected to the fate etched for Klein, which could very well be a taint from him to a lower sequence beyonder of the Seer pathway.

Regardless, this episode focused on the emotional aspect of losing one's comrade to corruption, and needing to eradicate them of it. It is a painful episode and perhaps a reality for many in the beyonder world, this is just the start of what awaits for us.

I had a lot of expectations for this episode and somehow they managed to surpass those to deliver this piece of cinema. This episode deserves a 10, I don't know what more they could have done and even if we don't count the review bombing, I don't understand how it doesn't get a 10. Even though I already read the novel and I knew what was going to happen, I cried really hard and I can't begin to imagine what those who didn't know felt watching this episode.

Finally the last scene of this episode was just too much to handle for me, this scene is just a cinematic experience. After the episode, I had to process what just happened while the end credit rolled.

10/10 episode, I hope a lot more people are going to get more invested in the series thanks to it.

Sad that curly haired baboons are already giving 1 and 2 star ratings. The way they handled the Old Neil stuff was so peak. The first half was also handled really well. The flaws in the previous episodes are no more. They also covered all the important stuff in the novel without anything cut out. I wish we got a tarot meeting before the advancement.
