I'm halfway through and loving it.

Like with Guardian, I think the fact that they don't "go there" makes it hotter. It's not like the tee-hee Western subtext; in this, everyone involved knows that the relationship is supposed to be romantic and sexual, plays it as such, but the fact that they have to skirt the censorship laws and can't show anything explicit plays into the love vs. duty aspects of the characters. Also from what I've heard of the sex scenes in the book, it's...kinda squicky? So with the show you can imagine better sex scenes.

The sex scenes are awful, like crappy fanfiction. I'm not sure the show needs it, there's a LOT of amazing UST there even though nothing is explicit.

the author does some nice buildup, but the sex is terrible

I'm not a regular reader of slash and I don't know the common tropes, but it was seriously wtf...kinda rapey and weird where Lan Wangji fucks like a machine and Wei Wuxian alternates between begging him to be gentle and being super provocative and flirty? The footnotes mentions the whole seme/uke thing, don't know if this is typical or what.

So many people are sad that the newest book by that author doesn't have smut but all I could think was that, considering how icky that smut was in the last two novels, I can't say I'm particularly sad about it. And the sex in MDZS was actually not quite as bad as in Scum Villain, which ... says a lot.

Whith Scum Villain it was super weird as we didn't even get a real sex scene besides the dub con which both participants didn't like. There might be soething in extras but it's not the same.

The romance in the novel is super slow burn and well executed - the (not good) smut is in the extras and not part of the main romantic development in the main plot.

Ah, I think I was mistaken, there is some smut right at the end. The really weird part is the dream smut in one of the extras though.
