"I'm not seeing the clumsiness. Carelessness, maybe - I can see him breaking stuff by not taking care of it much more easily than by being clumsy!
The JJWXC Chinese version doesn't have him being clumsy, either; instead it describes ZYL as extravagant, wasteful and enamoured with new things. Which makes much more sense! I wonder if there's an error in the translation here?"
Yeah, and he apparently throws things at walls on purpose too, lol. All of this makes so much more sense than clumsiness, and if it's not even in the original then I guess it is an error, yeah. Thanks for checking! ♡
"But also by genuinely caring about protecting Haixing! Like, he's terrible and going about it in wrong, bigoted ways, but at least he has principles, which the novel version seems to lack?"
Oh, good point! I feel like the novel version is just some rich guy who is an asshole, lol, not in any way a misguided anti-hero type of character.
