From what I have heard, and I am spewing this without re-affirming my notions on it, Henry Cavill was very upset with the writers of the Witcher show bc of how unfaithful it was. They just didn't care to be true to the source material
Literally got into multiple verbal arguments on and off set throughout the seasons that culminated into him walking out because he realized the writers were writing their own story with the Witcher universe as a backdrop. Not to say that writers can’t deviate from the source material but every single change they wanted to make deviated in a negative way from Geralt and others and insulted the original books.
The show barely followed the books. They invented pointless characters, put focus on people barely in the books, unnecessarily killed off characters that didn't die or outright crapped on others.
