Nobody ever made me crazy like this

For those from Xuan Hua Sect: (quickly) Leftrightleftrightleftrightleftright.
Blazing Sun Sect: In, out, in, out, in, out.
For those from Moon Sect: You go right, left, right, left while I sit on my ass and wait to stab you in the back.
For those Divine Pine Cliff: Black, White, Black, White, Black, White.
If you’re a Celestial Creature: East, West, North, South, East, West, North, South.
For those from Qiong Qi Peak: Right brow, left brow, right brow, left brow.
For those from Mt. Dream Cloud: Ask Wang Chan what to do .
Anybody who lives in Bamboo Grove: Left, right, second right, third left, ninth left and second right.

LOL. I have some others too!
If you're Chi Xue: Attempt to follow Xuan Hua, Blazing Sun, and Moon Sects all at the same time. Or go blood, sword, blood, sword, blood, sword, blood, sword, blood, sword.
Don't ask about the rest, they're way too hilarious.

And Chapter 68 is just way too harsh. But amusing, in a way. Or maybe my thinking of 'amusing' is just warped. And the scene of Xue Wu randomly hacking around the Moonlight Lotus Gateway is so amusing! Well, yeah, to me that is. OKAY CUT RANDOM CRAP.

"And I'm sick of the debate about CX-WC-ZY when it escalates into sticking pins into voodoo dolls of CX/ZY." OMG LOL YES I TOTALLY AGREE. It's retarded, and when you see people arguing over laugh like that I just end up going into hysterics. And THANK YOU those people who had the common sense to see that XL-WC is JUST NOT POSSIBLE LOL BECAUSE XL IS ALREADY TAKEN HAHAHHA OMG WHY AM I LAUGHING SO HARD.

"Why should we be spoonfed a definite ending just to be satisfied? There were enough subtle hints to indicate that WC accepted ZY, just as LT accepted Avian and vice versa. I find it better this way... there's indications, but nothing concrete, so we fans are allowed to speculate and decide for ourselves what we would like it to be." YES. Whoever this person is I love you. Please, it's only the diehard XL-WC and CX-WC fans who can't accept it, or the results of the match.

"it's a pretty nice sort of open ending where everything isn't too straightforward." FINALLY, someone who has common sense! I mean, seriously, does it actually matter? I'd much rather vote on the outcome of the match, only that I'd get mobbed by the CX/XL fans. Ouch. And you also don't know how many hundreds of threads there are about WC-CX-XL-ZY like SERIOUSLY. It's just a side-story, fine, a side-story that is relatively important because it adds to the characters doing what they did. But beyond that, since it has ALREADY ENDED, what value does it have? None!

One thing I dislike is how everyone is so 'flat'. Like CX and XL are do-no-evil-ers and MM and JR are irrevocably evil, etc. WHICH IS WHY MY FAVOURITE CHARACTERS ARE XW AND BS AND JA AND ZY! But through the entire series the only people who are actually very well characterised and are NOT FLAT are XW and ZY because they show that they have good/bad sides too! And BS and JA to a lesser extent because they died off in the first series? I guess that's just my take though, CX/XL fans will pummel me. (LOL for some reason I am starting to sound like a CX/XL hater, which is amusing because I never really hated them. It's just that I prefer other characters, you know?)

For those people who say the characters all look similar: hello, it's the same person drawing. Could YOU do any better? I bet not. At least I can still tell P and CX apart, and no, not just from the hair. And the same goes for WC and XW. No, it's not just the angling of the eyes, or anything, but the CHARACTERIZATION. Like how CX never smiles. And the more subtle hints of the drawing, like how CX's eyes are rounder than MM's. HOW CAN YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT I ASK HOW CAN YOUUUUU. D:

And I also absolutely love (read: dislike) how people on the forum can complain about the translation skills and bad grammar when HEY, LOOK. Theirs aren't much better either, I take about five minutes to read a 10 post thread. Like, what the hell.

Oh, it's also very interesting how 南方朱雀 got changed to, or is now made equivalent to, 凤凰, and 苍龙/青龙 is so easily mistranslated, because they are different. Like how 朱雀 and 凤凰 are mixed up BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. Sigh. People never seem to get that.

DO WORK. MUG. ARGH.
