The source material is lauded for its intricate storytelling and distinctive concepts, which could provide a solid foundation for the forthcoming adaptation.
The series has also faced accusations of cultural appropriation due to its global focus and the fact that it is being adapted by a predominantly non-Chinese team. However, director Derek Tsang has defended the creators, stating that they have made the story more accessible and have not appropriated Chinese culture.
