Chuan Shu Zijiu Zhinan

Shen Yuan has read enough xianxia novels to know that the protagonist will somehow cultivate the demonic path, take revenge on his scumbag master, and gain a massive harem along the way. So when he unexpectedly transmigrates into the world of Proud Immortal Demon Way, he knows exactly how the story is going to proceed. However, he does not get to play the role of the protagonist, but instead he becomes the scumbag master destined to suffer a humiliating defeat.

Shen Yuan, now known as cultivation master Shen Qingqiu, makes it his mission to change his fate so that he does not fall to his disciple, Luo Binghe, the protagonist of the novel. Trying to break away from the cruel personality of the original Shen Qingqiu seems impossible as any uncharacteristic behavior is blocked by a monitoring system meant to keep him from derailing the plot.

Shen Yuan must find a way to befriend Luo Binghe so that he has no reason to seek revenge on his teacher in the future. But with the set series of tragedies meant to befall the protagonist at the hands of Shen Qingqiu, this teacher has his work cut out for him.

I am mxtx biased. Lovel their novels.

The 3d donghua adaption of SVSSS was a a new experience? (first time, I think, watching a 3d animated series.) They changed a bit of the story in the adaption but still followed the main events of the novel, so that's good! I actually enjoyed the donghua but it was a bit awkwardly animated? like some of their movements and head nodding, stuff like that but it was fine, just funny to look at.
Sad they ended season 1 on the important part but looking forward to season 2.

I would say give it a try, it might ... not be everyone's favorite but it might be enjoyable for some.




..extra
Everytime Luo BingHe said "Shizun"...fr was about to punch the screen, jk but stop🙂

Before going into the review, I just wanna state that I have recently read the first book of the novel series. I decided to watch the donghua to see an adaption of the novel. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and will use it as a foundation when reviewing this donghua.


Story (8/10):

I really like the story. It feels unique and I also really like the humor in the series. Just the premise that you get transported into a novel you hate so much and then also turned into the villain is just hilarious. The series is clearly a parody with many clichés and standard tropes. Unfortunately, ... I feel that the donghua don't express this as well compared to the novel. Because in the novel you read about Shen Qingqiu's constat critique to the story and characters, which is serve as entertainment but also as world-building and understanding of the series.

What I feel were missing in the donghua were Shen Qingqiu's comments and reactions. There are quite many comments from Shen Qingqiu that did not get adpated in the donghua, which is fair because it would probably have ruined the pacing. Still it's Shen Qingqiu's comments and reactions that makes SVSS so entertaining. I just think they didn't catch the tone of the novel so well. I probably would not have enjoyed the donghua as much if I hadn't read the novel beforehand.

The story in its whole stick close to the novel and is well adapted. Something that I did not like in the series were The Immortal Alliance arc. They focused more on side characters instead of Luo Binghe and Shen Qingque. I also felt like the animation dropped a bit. The action scenes were not that well made. I also found it odd how they just ended the season in the middle of a scene? I would be so mad if I did not already know what would happen afterwards.


Animation (5/10):

Now, I'm definetly not used to this type of 3D animation. This is the first donghua I have watched with this type of animation. Needless to say, I think the animation quality varied a lot. Some scenes were actually really impressive and well animated, while others (the majority of the scenes) were poorly made. The character design for Shen Qingque and Luo Binghe were, compared to the majority of the other characters, remarkably well done and they were also well animated. Their clothes, hair and facial expressions were of so much higher quality than the rest of the characters.


Sound (5/10):

The soundtrack were nothing special. It wasn't bad, but it's not something you really remember. I did not have a problem with the soundtrack, however the sound effects were quite poorly made. I reacted multiple times to how poorly the sound effects were at times. I feel like the quality of the sound effects dropped during the last episodes in The Immortal Alliance arc.


Characters (7/10):

I really like Shen Qingque as a character. He is one of the most dynamic characters in the series. His comments and thought process are always entertaining. I think the donghua did a pretty good job in catching his character, but he does not have as much depth compared to the novel.

Many of the characters lack depth, but its also a bit of the point of the series because the characters were poorly written in the universe the series take place in. I do feel like the donghua does not convey this as well compared to the novel though. I have to say that most of the characters feel much more flat in the donghua compared to the novel, but I still enjoyed watching the characters in the show because I already had some background to them.


Enjoyment (8/10):

Even though the donghua lacks in many way I still enjoyed watching it. It's quite possible I enjoyed it more just because I had the novel as a foundation. It was entertaining to see visuals to what I had read.


Overall (7/10):

I think this was completely fine adaption of SVSS. The story is really entertaining and I will definitely watch the next season. I think this donghua is worth watching, but I would strongly recommend reading the novel beforehand if you want a better experience.

Mixed Feelings

Its a very ironical series. Basically it starts through mocking generic Chinese harem novel through protagonist point of view. So I thought it was going to do something unique. But later on, to my regret I found out the part they were mocking was not towards poorly done generic story but mock was going towards the harem genre. So the series itself turned out to be a poorly written generic Chinese Yaoi series baited as a harem series. But still its decent enough for atleast one time watch.

Story- (5/10)
Story is about protagonist transmigrated into a Chinese harem fantasy story as its antagonist and He is ... basically trying to prevent his death flags from happening in that story. Premise would have sound interesting if I had not watched anime with same story premise before. Yes, I know of two anime which has same story outline (1 chinese - There's a Pit in My Senior Martial Brother's Brain and 1 japanese - My Next Life as a Villainess). Atleast execution of story is not so bad, but still its generic.

Art - (6/10)
Compared to other chinese anime, the CGI is better than average. Though don't expect too much.

Sound - (6/10)
It is more or less like every chinese anime. OP was average.

Character - (4/10)
Other than protagonist and his disciple (who is actually the instoryworld protagonist), every other character is bad. Maybe it is purposefully done like that to show that Chinese harem story is trash, but still that makes this story less enjoyable. Especially all the female character except for one were worst that rubbish. Even that one female character is only slightly better. Though Protagonist and his disciple dynamics were good

Enjoyment - (5/10)
It was somewhat enjoyable, Atleast not boring enough to drop it. One things I expected from a Chinese anime is to have good action. While action was present, I was not very good even from Chinese anime. There was one scene which particularly annoyed me was a fight between 2 female character. Instead of fight, that turned out to be some sort of weird dance where basically another character is explaining it as some sort of hyper movement fight which eyes cant see. Yes, it basically a joke towards action in chinese harem series.

Overall - (6/10)
Even for a yaoi series, there are better Chinese anime out there than this one.
But if u can look past the mocking nature where it ironically fell flat and it baited nature, then its not a bad series to watch either
