I honestly dunno if I'd call it "the new Untamed". It IS extremely gay (obviously in a not-openly-gay-but-subtext way), and it was quite enjoyable, but the plot was a bit of a clunker for me, and the ending did a character seriously wrong, in a way that makes the happy ending feel unearned. (Trying to keep this non-spoilery as I can: the fallout from Character A's unilateral decision that Character B was quite upset about should've led to a conversation-slash-argument, but it didn't - and then the situation repeats almost identically, with Character A making a very similar unilateral decision, and then... happy ending. Alrighty then.)

Yeah I was okay with a lot of the things they changed from the novel but the ending was not one of them. Especially since there wasn't really a need for it but from what I've seen it has a lot to do with how Chinese censorship works. It's not that different from the Hays Code - so gay or implied to be gay characters getting a 100% happy end is not allowed, and the way the ending was changed reflects that.
