Easily the best LotM episode so far.
As a previous novel reader, Azik Eggers was my all-time favourite character. I was initially worried characters in this Donghua wont be fleshed out due to the fast pacing and donghua-only watchers wouldn't connect to the characters but this exceeded my expectations by a long-shot. I even believe they did Azik better here than in the novel, they just did him THAT good!
I thought it was interesting they portrayed him as a suspicious individual at the beginning, but then reveals he's a very kind-hearted and tragic character. It certainly adds suspense and intrigue to his initial character which makes it all the more engaging.
I also believe the beginning of this episode was just as great too and I love the visualization of Klein being burnt by gazing at a God, it really helps put into perspective the strength of these deities.
Overall, I'm a LotM glazer and Azik's bootlicker, regardless, they did everything right from his portrayal, his backstory, the animation, everything!
