For me it's Vinland Season 2 and Frieren for storytelling. Jujutsu kaisen 2 and The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 for raw fun.

That's only marginally better. I'd rather it just continue being episodic sherlock holmes solves a daily mystery in old china. It still ultimately changes course to a traditional values thing.
I get the feeling that this show was written by a cis woman for cis women, with a large part of the vicarious escapist fantasy of being the only feminist in ancient china is landing the hot eunuch boyfriend
Mmmmmm maybe. Plausible. Still ends up being "the feminist who behaves combatively with men ends up falling to the hot guy's wily charms and giving in to the natural feminine heat aching in her womb"(yes i'm aware how uncomfortable that is to read) though even if written by a woman. It makes it marginally better but is still something worth criticising as a trope, at least imo.
