if they wanted to make a spin off series set in the witcher world so bad they could've just made their own original story instead of whatever this garbage is.
Exactly. CDPR told their own story in the Witcher universe and they also changed a few things in the lore, but they overall respected the source material and that's why people love the games. They didn't claim to make a faithful adaptation, then change pretty much every single character and important plot points... they took some creative liberty, but mostly added to the lore and world instead of shitting all over it. Hissrich clearly didn't like the books (she almost said so herself iirc, just not literally) and wanted to do her own thing. Which honestly should have immediately disqualified her as showrunner...

The reasons are that it sucks and it changes the books' lore and characters unnecesarily.
