I’ve read the English books. The Netflix series was kinda faithful to the books but it’s only season 1 so far. It’s not finished yet. There’s a Chinese tv series as well which is a lot harder to find but I’ve watched a bit of it and it seems much more like a direct adaptation of the books.
Which version, aren’t there a couple ones you can watch?

I haven’t read the books, but I did watch both versions, and they’re both decent, but I would recommend the Chinese version. Not only is it obviously more faithful to the books (you can just tell as it is so much more detailed than the Netflix version), but I found it fascinating to watch a high budget series from China, as I’ve never seen any Chinese art/media at that level.
I wouldn’t say the Netflix version was bad (much much shorter, and not the full story yet) though.
