Offering Salted Fish to Master

[thispatternismine]

I breezed through Offering Salted Fish to Master (aka When Destiny Brings the Demon) in a few days, as it's a pretty short book. I was wondering how closely it matched the drama, & weirdly it was very close, but also not? There are a few differences like Highlight for spoilers! *the snake gaining human form much later & that form being a child, the whole thing with the ancient demon lord trying to regain a body not being a thing in the book, & the fake sect/settlement (though that's based on a scene in the book at least), & the baby that shows up as a character post-timeskip,* but mostly the drama stayed pretty close in terms of overall arc. If I didn't know any better I'd think someone watched the drama & knocked together a quick summary. It had some funny lines & it was nice reading the FL's thoughts on stuff, but ultimately I like the drama better, because the novel is definitely barebones & the drama filled in a lot.
