well the original is often called the fate symphony so it is a kind of nod to Beethoven i guess

you can try forge of destiny on r*yal r*ad, it's a xianxia setting with an mc using a flute. it's quite good but pretty slow paced

it can also be solid, liquid, gas and energy (fire) for changing between states 👍

The real friendship was the curses we gained along the way

I think the pacing is all right might be different if you had to wait for each chapter though

think guys like Feixiong are almost always wrong about other people's motivations, so that girl was probably trying to help him
