Nanu D:
When I was reading the novel, I literally wrote down the names of the character and their relation to the main character in the notepad and referred to it. There are way too many characters and the names are confusing too but got used to names by the time I reached half of the novel. I watched the drama after reading the novel so I had no problem while watching it.
Lucky you, I just went straight to watch the series without reading the novel or watching the anime. In the first scene I was so confused, like who is who?! Is he a vampire(I was talking about Wei Wuxian, he had blood on his mouth)?!?! Lmao!!!! Propably after I watch some episodes of TharnType, I'll watch some of The Untamed...
