Nobody has said anything about a 1:1 adaptation, and these things can have a sliding scale. It is possible to keep certain elements while rearranging and editing a story for different mediums. You do understand it is people who write these things, yeah? Theyre not like, handed down from on high and then filmed. Also: The Last of Us.

I mean yeah, that's what I'm saying - a good adaptation, changing things to fit the medium, rearranging to tell the story better etc., that's all good.

What Witcher did is they took the rough skeleton of the overall story and practically build original story on thay skeleton. Especially season 2 has almost nothing in common with the book they were adapting. The story started and ended in roughly the same spot, everything in between was made up.

Also I feel whatever they rearranged was for the worse and made the story make less impactful.

Not sure what you meant by this.

Ah, sorry I misread. Seems we agree. Apologies.
