People are "quick to judge" because the story and Lakan himself make every effort to have them make that judgment, Lakan himself is the one that heavily implied he just raped and impregnated that courtesan to lower her value. Not judging Lakan would be ignoring what the story and the characters are telling you.

2024-08-09 23:22:48 +0000 UTCIt's insane how you can go so many episodes hating a character only to have these last two episodes turn your whole world upside down. They brought all the small stories together with the ceremonial 'accident', but the way they wrap up this season is phenomenal.

2024-08-09 23:19:41 +0000 UTCThe irony of the master strategist no being able to see the moves Fengxian was making and missing the big picture plan is a massive tragedy.

2024-08-08 23:57:19 +0000 UTCAs for the drinking game, Lakan wasn't thinking that he was going to lose. What Maomao did is the equivalent of filling 5 cups with 11 proof wine and the adding 3 shots of 151 proof alcohol. Lakan was expecting that he could at least handle the wine, but wasn't expecting the high alcohol content shot.

2024-08-08 23:13:50 +0000 UTCMade in Abyss, Frieren, Apothecary diaries. 3 epic anime back to back to back. Probably 3 of the most complete anime series in recent memory from the stand of production quality, writing, acting and adaptation. They all surpass their already great sources.

2024-08-08 23:02:45 +0000 UTCAlso, you're right that Lakan previously mentioned that he could beat Fengxian in chess but never beat her in Go even once. He choose to play Go, knowing he would lose and she would take what she wanted.
