"Not all things will start great then ends great, and not all things also start bad then ends bad." - me.

Although this show doesn't end yet (as of the time of writing), I just realized it on this particular donghua after watching 41 episodes that this show is really good! Best donghua in terms of animation so far imo (better than mortal's journey to immortality even if they are somewhat alike). There is no stutter in their motions. It's very fluid even the way the mouth and body moves. It's just that, many people dropped this because of very long prologue/intro that took more or... less than 10 episodes.

The story is good. The pacing is slow, especially the first quarter of this season (which is too slow), but it tells you what you need to know about the world our MC currently living and how cultivation works in detail. As usual, there are humans and demons fighting against each other but the demons here are not really that evil unlike other cultivation donghua or anime where the stereotype about demons are "evil". I'm not literate enough to tell you the detailed, well-versed review in terms of its story. You can say that it is a generic cultivation donghua, but it's good imo.

The visuals are the best in this show as I stated from the beginning. It doesn't feel awkward watching their reactions to certain things. Of course, everything has its improvements but as of the time of writing, from big to small details, it's flawless! 10/10

The sounds are good but not so extraordinary. It's well complemented with how the show change its pace.

Don't let the rating fool you. I almost dropped this too but good thing I let the time pass to where it is now before I start watching it again. I guess my decision to watch this really pays off. Great job to the production team! I'm eager to watch more! Whether you take my personal review or not, it's up to you. If you have enough patience, even if you are new to this genre, definitely worth a try! If not but still curious, then you might skip or put it in your "plan to watch" and let the time decide for you. If not both, skip!
