As a cultivation donghua lover, I find this show rather unique from most of the other cultivation donghuas out there ("most of").

The visuals are great. Story differs from novel time to time and many details seems vague as a result. But the animators did great by putting clues in the early episodes which makes it very interesting and satisfying once you uncover those mysteries; you have to do your own digging outside the animation though.

I know that early release watchers are disappointed because of slow pace and some logics which they don't understand and thus defame it and slander it on reddit and other forums. But they are merely like a child throwing tantrums after reading their reviews.

You have to watch atleast 50 episodes to get to the good part.

Update: S1 (52 eps) was good, s2 had change of director and the story starts to deviate from the novel too much such that they add forced comedy at every episode and neglect story details and flex their studio graphics power by adding unnecessary fights. If only it has some of "A Record of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality" story telling done by the same studio, it could have been one of the best donghuas out there.
