I'm spoiled for a bunch of stuff just by osmosis, but it's still enjoyable! The CGI is derpy, but at least they have the wisdom to do a lot of the "terrible monster" signaling with sound effects/music and not showing the monster.

Fic desires so far: Shen Wei getting a hug, Shen Wei getting his hair ruffled, Zhao Yunlan seeing Shen Wei get injured so Shen Wei has to pretend to be a normal human being who does normal human being stuff like being injured, and then there's some hilarious hurt/comfort where the comfortee isn't actually hurt, but can't tell that, because that'd jeopardize his disguise. Also, Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan raising children together, because Shen Wei at least would be very good at it.
