The storytelling adheres to traditional supernatural tropes—possession, exorcism, atonement through service to a god like the Third Crown Prince—without any infusion of contemporary progressive ideology. Casting is entirely appropriate with Taiwanese actors portraying culturally fitting roles, including male leads like Kai Ko as the anti-hero Han Chieh and supporting female characters such as Buffy Chen's optimistic student with cancer, who serve the plot organically without feminist framing or empowerment lectures.

No LGBTQ+ representation, identity politics, systemic oppression narratives, or critiques of traditional norms appear in the plot, themes, or character arcs. Creators adapted faithfully from a Taiwanese novel, emphasizing spectacle and genre entertainment over activism, with zero audience backlash, controversies, or complaints about 'woke' elements in early reception. This pure focus on escapist fantasy devoid of political messaging makes it a refreshing example of unadulterated storytelling.
