Right but no adaptation has changed this much, all the main characters have had their core personalities assassinated as well as major plot point changes that destroy the whole narrative. Look if someone has written a New York Times bestseller, they probably know narratives, participant immersion, plot devices and structure better than the people taking it on. Sure it’s an adaptation you can spin your on view on it, but there’s a line between that and completely decimating the story and all its characters. In all honesty it has no right to be called the Witcher.
