I've had to just step away and remind myself that justifying my feels is not worth harshing other people's squee.
Let me just say how much I appreciate this? Because I have Many Strong Feelings about NiF (to the point where reading fic is difficult), and that means that while I love hearing about people's positive experiences with the show negative ones get to me equally hard. If it's something like "too bad they dubbed Jin Dong" that's pretty easy to agree with because it doesn't get to my heart in the same way "I think this character is a bad person" would. Even if maybe one could argue that they are - Fei Liu doesn't really work for a living, he keeps slacking off, what a freeloading brat! - that could probably ruin my day as I tried to think of good counter-examples for reasons of loving him. (*Not actually an opinion I hold or have ever heard!)
So yes, thank you so much, and may you one day find someone else you can dissect this character with so you can get some validation for your read on them in private!
