evaluate

[edit]

In terms of character creation and emotional rendering, "Love Game in Eastern Fantasy" is quite ingenious. Ling Miaomiao, with the independence and wisdom of modern people, is not bound by the framework of the system, is brave enough to explore the unknown, and tries to rewrite the destiny of the characters under the constraints of the system in her own way. At the same time, "Love Game in Eastern Fantasy" also extends and explores the topic of "harmonious coexistence between man and nature". The so-called "monsters" in the play, from dust monsters to water monsters and bamboo monsters, are all incarnations of all things in nature, and they have their own emotions and feelings. In the interaction between humans and monsters, both sides gradually let go of their prejudices against each other and reached empathy and understanding.[13]
