Xian Wang de Richang Shenghuo

China is putting out more and more anime and i have to say that there are good ones like King's Avatar, Antidote, The Grandmaster, Spiritpact etc. But this anime was just really plain. No real story, terrible writing AND so many plot holes ???
I feel like they tried to make every character have some sort of character growth, but in the end they didn't address any internal problems everyone had, except for the main character.
And also why does this have the tag of "slice of life" that makes no sense.
Something that also bothers me is that this anime had 15 episodes and half ... of them where just fillers to make "memories" for characters so they could somehow make an emotional ending. terrible ending by the way.

Anyways, the characters are still cute and the concept of buddhism/spirit/magic/underworld is cool too.

This isn't even the real 'the daily life of the immortal king'. What can i say? When you want to make 'Justice League' out of 'Courage the Cowardly dog' then you will get abomination like this. Dude i read the novel and it was nothing like this. Yes, you don't need to follow the original but you still can't change your root completely and this was just that.

Let's list the cons

*There is no romance in the novel, or should i say not so early. Even if there is romance, it will be brushed away in a comedic undertone. That's how it should be. Man, ... do they even know what slice of life means? They made 'star wars' in 'simpson'.

* The original Wang Ling cares only about keeping his powers check and his noddles. And the story revolves how the adversary keeps poking mc, only to get squashed and that results in more pain in the neck for mc, all in a comedic undertone. And they made this 'romeo and juliet' somehow.

*This story somewhat follows upto the six assassins part after that all made up. Even those parts are poorly done. They rushed through the main punchlines like the frog summon or frog test, the novel was hilarious there. Also the limited sword part, they changed the original to mama Wang buying a cheap one. The real one was way more funny, go check no spoilers.

* Character? Like i said, Wang ling only likes his noddles and he doesn't care about nakama bullshit. And they made this shounen which is a disgrace. Lotus sun or the heroine is kind in rivalry with mc, but they made her a direct romance target from the start.

*Lot more can be said about how they changed the theme altogether. Even if i ignore the novel, the work is not done well that much either. For example, what is 59 or 60 high school? How this happened? Assuming that's the plot, and 59 and 60 being rivals how did 59 get 60's data instantly as if they are the main organization overseeing the data. And what about sword spirit? Why did they introduce it when they weren't used that much at all. Only the class president's were used. I can nitpick more but that's the gist without mention the novel.

Art is good like all Chinese animations. They had budget unlike most poor cheap ass Japanese productions. But the industry is shallow because of their inexperience and greed. Do you think people will jump into an unknown anime if they didn't hear about the novel first? Most of us wanted to experience the adaption of novel and I'm pretty disappointed

Just read the novel and one downvote for this

Honestly, this is basically a Chinese version of Saiki-K, but done poorly and forces the comedy.

The story ends up all over the place and at some point you sort of have to throw away any care you have for the overall story of it. Because it is near impossible to follow and you need to throw your sanity away to care.

The show throws in the idea that this is basically suppose to be a comedy with extreme magic. With all personalities over the top except the main character. However, it's played off poorly and it just ends up with the other character's personality is only ... praising him for literally no reason. Which makes no sense as the show sets it up so that no one knows he's "powerful" and if they do he memory wipes them.

[ For example, the main girl fell in love with him for no reason except he touched the side of her face and was zoning out in class. ]

He shows disinterest in everything, but doesn't ever put any effort into avoiding things. The whole show is basically following a boy with op powers just cause? The most he'll do is just some memory wipe. But even that doesn't work cause the characters will mention it again in the future.

----

All in all:
This anime can't figure out its own guidelines for the characters and the story. It jumps back and forth on ideas but can't keep anything consistent. It's simply all over the place.

Im impressed with this one. This one makes it feel like chinese animation is really making strides, and that they can make good quality animation if they wanted to. Im really impressed with the animation. Normally i don't really like chinese animation that much. Most of them feel like they are either game cutscenes, or they are missing a few frames. But this one looks really nice. The voice acting is pretty good also. Normally i don't really like the voice acting on chinese animations because they don't really sound like they "fit", but i enjoyed the voice acting in this one.

If you understand/enjoy ... "wuxia" and "xianxia" you will most likely enjoy this very much and find it very funny. But if you don't follow wuxia or xianxia, it might be hard to understand some of the jokes that are made.

I could give this anime a 9.

This Review is mainly about all the .. well.. mediocre reviews by people who "pretend" to have watched all the episodes. How can i tell that they "pretend"? Well ez: they say things like "If you want something similar watch Saiki K." (Truthfully one of my most favorite and objectively best anime ever with some of the best Comedy in all of Media.)

The start: the anime starts out like Saiki K. It has an overpowered protagonist that doesnt want/need his power. At first mainly the animations hooked me to this point. It clearly does a worse job than Saiki ... K. at establishing his character at this point of the story as Saiki as an example doesn't really need his power AT ALL. He is in a world of humans. He is also not a god but has just a plethera of abilities that just make his life boring. Yare yare..

But let me shock you all by making a 180° turn: this anime but shines in all the aspects Saiki K. just brutaly failed. To this conclusion i only came to after the 14. Episode of this anime.

To further make my point without spoiling too much i wan't to point out to what conclusion i came after talking about this show with a friend.
There are a lot of overpowered Main anime leads out there. Most of the people that watched this specific show will also probably have come across at least a handful of these. They all are similar in the way that the one super special girl is in love with the lead but he is just too motherf****** powerful for his life and just either doesn't care about his entourage bc his purpose is above their existence or his life - to which they belog - is just overall too boring. Btw the whamen is always in love with this neutral-hearted dud bc he just ignores her at first sight.
This anime starts out as exactly that. If it weren't for the tasty af animations up to the last 3 episodes one would probably not even stick around for that long.
That leads me to exactly .. the point that makes this Anime all the much better. Wait. for. it. In a way there IS a real similarity to Saiki K. That would be that it takes on it's genre fellows. But not in a comedic way as Saiki K does it .. or Gintama as the most iconic example .. but in a serious way. If i may throw this in: just as MAGIC GIRL MADOKA !! Also one of the objectively best and one of my favorite shows out there.
The essence of these anime is not something like overall insane Stories. It's not that they pull out a theme insanely well like what you'D say about GOT for example. No it's much rather that they manage to get.. serious. Serious and that not right off the bat .. but progressively.. rather surprisingly. Basically it's a to the ground taking unexpected turn of events that comes in an unexpected manner because it takes place in a genre where it's just so unusual. Actually numerous of my favorite and objectively best shows do something like that. Madoka, this anime, Re:Zero, overly cautious hero, Watchmen (the movie o b v i o u s l y). There are probably many i don't know, some i forget and of course, i leave out all the cemodic approach anime.
I don't want to stick around the point for any longer. But it is essential bc it is the reason some of the top comments just wont get in my head. How can one even COMPARE this anime to Saiki when it's approch is completely differen??

So now i just want to spill out a couple of amazing or a bit bugging things about the show in some flow without major reasoning about them or so:
the characters are decent which is even better for the climax, the audio is .. weird at best as it's often times not really ambient which jap anime seem to do a much better job at, the animations are too gorgeous - i could talk about some specific scenes which completely blew my mind as if it were a movie -, i very much enjoyed the kind of out of nowhere scientific approach the anime had from times to times (which further enhanced the serious aspect of the show and made even more.. close to the heart.. or feels.), the end feels weird in a way where you would expect a 2nd season but i very much doubt this shows has an even greater climax in store for us, the soundtrack is awesome but could be a bit less generic outside of the fight-scenes and last but not least i loved the anime but only after the 14th episode which can either mean that it was all the more great story telling (my opinion and.. pretty much indubitable) or you could make the point that it's maybe a bad thing because some of the audience might've dropped at that point.

If you red this all.. wow. I just wish one could comment down below the reviews whichever you want to debate on.. but eh. This might reach someone. Have yourself a wonderful day or whatever time :D.

Generally I really like series that have an insanely OP lead, because they usually make for some cheap and simple entertainment. This show did the very opposite of entertaining me, and from my own experience I would give it a 3. However, I realised I watched a very shitty sub so, assuming the original version and other subs have coherent sentences, I'll raise that to a 5. On to the actual review.

Story: 3
The idea is pretty good, but the execution is terrible. The story is completely filled with plot holes and irrational decisions just to move the story forward: Let's seal this defeated demon king ... up under a school, yep that sounds like a great decision. Oh, and let's use him as an entrance exam! Great way to show how OP the MC is - but WHO THE FUCK would ever do that. A teacher of the opposing school almost killed a student who then literally disappears before their match in some kind of tournament? Sucks for you, guess that opposing school is going to win because that's definitely not something they'll be disqualified for, or the tournament will be cancelled for. Nope, the show must go on or our dumb plot wouldn't work out. There's a bunch more dumb shit like this, so if you're easily annoyed by randomly pushing the plot forward, you're in for a treat.

Characters: 4
The MC's main 'thing' is that he either doesn't want to or can't use his insane powers - which, IMO, is a weird call. The main attraction of a show with an OP lead is that character being badass - making him do nothing whenever he could do something to help is uhm, not a great way to make a likeable character.
Apart from this, character development isn't nonexistent. A total of 4 characters have some kind of character development (the side characters definitely don't). Some of this is decent, but there's so much irrational forced behaviour that it still doesn't deserve a passing grade. Especially when some girl completely falls in love because a dude touches her hair deserves an award in this category. No, I'm not talking a crush, she'd die for him. Yeahhhh, sure.

Art: 7
Nothing special, but definitely not bad either. I'm honestly not too good at ranking the art, but it didn't bother me.

Sound: 7
Personally, I am not used to Chinese yet, which made the sound somewhat annoying for me. Disregarding my very subjective opinion about that though, the sound is , just like the art, not bothersome but also nothing special.

Enjoyment: 4
At the end of the 13th episode I'd have given enjoyment a solid one, but the ending was actually pretty cool so it ended on a good note: +2. I also raised it with one more because I probably found the most infuriating sub there exists for this series.

Overal: 5
I definitely did not enjoy watching this series. If you're into OP characters, consider if one somewhat epic scene at the end is worth suffering through 14 episodes for. If you're not at all bothered by weird rationale and a plot that just does whatever, you might as well give this a shot. If you don't speak Chinese definitely do take your time to find a decent sub though...

It looks mediocre to me. i thought this one gonna be better than mob 100 or something like this category but it doesnt. character feel mediocre. powerfull trying to be weak combining with weak story, weak enemies and silence unemotional attitude till 12 episode.

They didnt explain detail each of the character, yeah they are trying to explain their spiritual power but.. it seems crowded.

Yes you had spiritual power, you had spiritual pet ,and yet you need spiritual sword ? what is this harry potter ?. the action in this anime looks good but sometime looks meh. character when doin expression/dub seems not sync ... enough with the animation.

the only anime that i like chinese. Quan Zhi Gao Shou.

If you've ever read any of my anime reviews, you'll know how they usually go. But this one is gonna be slightly different. Kinda because of how bad it was, and kinda because I am lazy.

The main problem with this anime lies in the animation, the plot devices, and the characters. Which is basically the whole anime. If you don't know the gist of this anime, its basically the OP MC genre. And I've watched hella OP MC anime. I enjoy OP MC anime. But this particular anime really just doesn't offer anything story wise. So lets go through that.

1. Plot devices- The ... main plot device, and one that I hate after watching this, is the MC's forgetting art which basically forces the people around him to completely forget that he is extremely OP. However, while this provides some logical backing to the other characters not seeing how OP he is, it really is infuriating that the MC has to do this, essentially making every plot movement redundant and as if it never happened. Without any movement, the story doesn't go anywhere and you get an extremely boring story. Even in other generic OP MC anime there's some form of plot advancement, usually centered around the OP MC slowly being recognized as overpowered. However, with this forgetting art plot device, there is none of that in this particular anime. Which for me constitutes a huge problem in how the story is allowed to flow: its basically not.

2. Characters: The characters themselves are also relatively bland, and the MC himself is a prime example of this. The fact that he has to keep his powers sealed (despite them leaking out) makes for a very poor character as there is again, no movement with his character. The supporting cast is entirely static, or makes little progress in terms of character. The MC himself is also poorly done, a completely nihilistic and unlikeable MC.

3. Art: although the art is relatively good, the colors sound (albeit slightly bland), the animation and action scenes are sparse and poorly done. One thing with OP MC anime is that they do get carried by the animation and really good fight scenes because OP MC anime already have pretty basic storylines, thus they have to appeal to the audience in different ways. And of course, one of the things people like to see with these types of anime is how the MC is going to smack down his opponents. However, there is almost none of that in this story, which leaves the audience feeling empty without it and makes the story visually boring.

Other notes:
- The music is good, nothing to write home about though.
- The world-building is pretty good though, the city and the back story is good.
- the fourth wall breaking humor, although slightly overdone, is not too bad and is relatively good taste.
- This anime is done completely in Chinese, and as someone who speaks Chinese, this didn't bother me in the slightest. However, worth noting if you're expecting JP language.
- This was so unenjoyable in fact, that i watched this in 1.5x for about 10 episodes. unfortunate for someone who really does enjoy the OP MC genre.

OVERALL: 4
Grading this, it would be 2 for world building +1 for art and + 1 for comedy for a total score of 4.

I would avoid this anime, or at the very least be very apprehensive about trying it. It does hook you in well, but after the 2nd episode it does nosedive in quality and enjoyment.

I have low expectations for Chinese anime as they don't have a high production level historically. However, I enjoy the cultivation genre overall so I make sure to keep an eye out for new releases. Out of all the Chinese anime I've seen so far I can say this one certainly has come the closest to traditional Japanese anime in how they handle production. No crappy 3D, and the drawing is up to a level where it doesn't hurt your eyes to watch. Voice acting still leaves a lot to be desired but I can chalk this up to not being used to listening to ... Chinese voice acting yet. My only main complaint production wise is for the subtitling,I've checked several sites online but from episode 3 onward there seems to be a consistently terrible subtitling on the episodes. If you can get around this then the series may be worth watching.

I dropped the series when I saw the terrible subtitles however I feel as if I would've dropped it anyway regardless. The series got a few giggles out of me here and there but overall it just didn't grip me and it seemed to get less interesting as time went on. HOWEVER, what really made me drop the series was plain and simple. I suddenly realized that the cast and characters and even the setting minus the cultivation world - as well as all the gags were simply Chinese renditions of Saiki Kusuo no Psi Nan. I decided then and there that it wasn't worth my time. As for what you do with your time, that's up to you to decide.

I'm gonna be honest with you: I'm not a fan of chinese animation, i've tried severals time watching chinese anime, but none of them hit me like this one.
Also this review contain minor spoilers but still spoilers, read this at your own dangers. (I tried to not make them too much)








...
















Story 9/10: Easy one, this MC is overpowered, still he tries to go to school without achieving outstanding marks et simila, and just by that this series got my attention. The flow of the fabula and the intertwining is greatly done with some miniflashback of events happened 5 minute or even 5 second earlier of the main event. Nothing more to say cause what i'd like to say it's just spoilers about what the MC astoundingly achieve with the help of his friends (omg episode 14, OMG EPISODE 14)

Art 8/10: I'm kinda undecided between 9 and 8, but i put 8 because even if the drawings are in the overall very nice and clean, some animation are... Simplified? They literally drawed the mona lisa and then BOOM, here you go an apple with 10 fps. I don't understand the meaning of this, but i guessed that it was for some budget reason(?) because i think the art are truly good for some poorly made animation like that. Even if they are something that happen seldomly it's still annoying (but funny in some way). The CGI was good, they used it frequently but sometime i didn't even notice that.

Sound 10/10: SO YOU CAN WATCH ME NOOOOOW WHEN I AM SET FREEEEEEEEE
I don't think there much more to say, AMAZING opening and ending. The osts are greatly done and the pairing with the scenes are truly something to be mentioned.
Even if i don't like that much hearing chinese the voices are kinda funny and enjoyable tho.

Character 10/10: Nothing much to say also for this section, the characters are really alive in this series, none of them is similar and even the stereotyped bullies seem real. MC and friends are all diversified in some ways and the personal growth for each of them is done perfectly. The enemies have their own substories realized in less than one or two episode and for an anime so short it's well made.

Enjoyment 10/10: EPISODE 14, HOW CAN THAT BE SO GOOD? The love story are not my daily bread but this one is amazing, it push you into becoming a fangirl and fangirlscreaming for each contact the MC has with the female co-protagonist. The lack of real fighting scene is COMPLETELY satisfied with the last events and the funny commedy that is spread within the episodes (the IT one got me so hard that i fell of the chair irl)

Overall 10/10: I see that the users in this site usually don't give really high votes like this random (i'm not that used to this site, so i don't understand why, maybe i'm just too young? i'm sorry MAL people :c), but i have to say it: this anime felt so good to me that seriously, how can i not give 10? In normal condition i'd give 9, just for the 8 in art (my standards of marking impose me to not give a vote 2 vote higher than the last one, so i should have picked a 9), but some exceptions can be done and i'd love to give it one to this anime.
I want to excuse me for my poor dictionary, but this is the best i can do x)
From Italy that's all, i hope this will be usefull to someone also because i've never wrote a rewiew xD (even for my favourite anime... I'm sorry for this Reborn!)

I refuse to believe the people giving this good ratings are real, they have to be bots. I genuinely don't see how anyone could give this above a 4 and that is insanely generous. This show is literally just a way, way worse version of The Misfit of Demon King Academy, which is already bad. This dude literally just does the most op stuff imaginable, with garbage music playing and incredibly shoddy animation, and everyone around him just acts like their blind and ignores it??? It really makes no sense, the show has no merits. Even if you try and watch this show while skipping ... through until the fight scenes its bad. He's also got this girl whos obsessed with him for no reason besides wish fufillment... don't even get me started this show doesn't deserve a comprehensive breakdown. Even as a trash show you watch to kill time, I would not recommend it.

I recommend researching what wuxia and xianxia (cultivation) before watching this. If your into wuxia and xianxia this show would be very enjoyable and funny, but if you don’t know what they are I wouldn’t recommend watching this because it would most likely be confusing to you. You wouldn’t get the jokes at all, and would find it kinda cringey. Also know what although there are action in this show, it’s focus isn’t about action but more of comedy.

This show has the same humor type as saiki k, some call it a rip off. While I can see the similarities, and why some ... people may feel that way, imo it’s not a rip off or at least the author did not copy everything from saiki k. Theres are many differences. The biggest difference unlike saiki k where only he has powers, everyone in this show has powers.

So if you like wuxia and xianxia, and like comedy then I would really recommend this. As it is basically a parody of typical wuxia and xinxia stories.

To begin with, I rarely write reviews but i write it honestly. And now I will say that this is my first Chinese work in the form of an anime and I will say that I was disappointed in this anime.
Firstly. Everything is very superficially told. Not properly revealed the main character, how did he become like this, how did he develop his strength? It's the same with the rest of the characters. Their story is told only by small ones and for the stretching of the series, otherwise I do not see.
Now about the universe. It's a shame. The whole plot takes place in ... only 1 country, I would even say 2 or 3 cities, and these same cities are limited to only one school and a house.
I could not enjoy this piece, because after 3 episodes I started to skip empty scenes. And yes plot holes. There are many of them and with each episode they are filled even more.
Anime for 1 time and then if you like everyday life with a little of humor. And I put a solid 4 points. (At least there will be 1 anime that will deserve 10 points or even 9?... Hmm.) From me everything.

Just watch it to ep 14, that's all I will say. The ep 14 will make you LOVE this series!

This is one of if not the best Chinese anime out there. The story might not look like it have anything of values, or look like typical op mc go to school bla bla bla, but later in to it, the more and more lore are in this series and it's kinda good. The comedy is also really good and refreshing, it have a unique style to it comedy I will say, that aren't the same with Japanese comedy. Like I said above, ep 14 is ... a BIG turning point in the show, won't spoil anything much here, but I will say it alone make this show went up from 8 to 10 for me. The animation is also really really good, top of the line for Chinese anime for sure, I will say it's on par with MAPPA and Madhouse level, but a bit behind ufotable.

The most Re****ed anime of the all time. F****ng waste of time. If you wan’t to get frustrated every episode of what u are watching the please be my guest and watch this shitty show. Otherwise stay away. MC is just plain stupid.🤮


Story:
The start is a bit interesting but starts to show the author's lack of any sort of talent when it comes to story telling around mid episode. Every story wants you to question what the f is going on in the storyline. The MC's power are only convenient when it wants to and most of the time wants you to question how ... this garbage was even animated.

Animation:
The only good thing working for this anime is the animation. The animators did a really good job for this poor excuse of a story.

I have watched almost all of the anime ever released and this is the first time I have despised anything related to anime or manga. This anime made create this account just so I can post this review so people can stay away from this garbage.

Don't get me wrong, I seriously tried to like this anime. I wanted to enjoy it. But, I couldn't. Watching this anime made me feel pain and confusion all together.

The first couple episodes were honestly not bad. It wasn't until they decided to try and make a plot. The plot of this show made no sense at all. I was trying to follow along but it felt like stuff was just happening to happen. Once I got to episode 8 I was near tempted to drop the show in its entirety.

Not only did the plot make no sense, but the subtitles were also very ... off. For someone who doesn't speak the language, subtitles are the only thing I have for the show. And the fansubtitles were TERRIBLE. There were times they would say stuff and I had to try to understand how it correlates to the plot. But it never worked. Sometimes I would just watch the animation instead of reading the subs because they never were useful.

I honestly couldn't tell if the subtitles of the show made it bad or if the attempted plot in general made it bad. I would have preferred if they just did random stuff each episode instead of a garbage story. For being considered an "18 minute show" boy did those episodes drag with pointless scenes. Every episode felt near 45 minutes, when I would see if I was near the end of the episode it always disappointed me to see I was only like 6 minutes in.

In the end, Xian Wang de Richang Shenghuo did actually make me laugh a couple times and had a pretty good opening. But, I can 100% say that it was not worth the watch. The fact that it also was 15 episodes instead of 12 makes me sad. The story of the show completely ruined it along with the dreadful subs. I wish I could take back my time to have completed a different show.

1. Plot 0/10
I don't see any development in this story, so I would have to give it a 0. The entire story revolves around the MC with zero personality. He just wants peace and strives for nothing. He has no goals/motivations/purpose. Any development that happens... gets reverted back. So much for development. Maybe there is development after 9 episodes, but I got more disappointed and upset after every episode.

2. Characters: 2/10
The main female protagonist pisses me off. She falls in love with him because of a simple magic dispersing spell that left her breathless. ... I understand this is bias on my part because I try hard to get a girlfriend, yet this MC does basically nothing and has this beautiful female lead drooling over him. The teachers piss me off the most. In episode 9, they have the most retarded role.... they do nothing against the out of control villain. They just stand there and watch? In the last two episodes, they were hyped up as this strong powerful and righteous teacher....

3. Art: 7/10
The art is good

4. Sound: 0/10. Although most of the sound is okay, some of it is unforgivable. For example, when they cast magic and thunder or fire strikes, I expect an exciting sound. Instead, I hear what sounds like a toy going off. I could have done better if they allowed me to edit the sound effects and I am a complete novice editor.

Overall: 2/10. I would have rated this show a 5/10, but there were too many things that were unforgivable.

this is my first review on an anime, and this i what i gotta to say about it. this chinese anime it can be very enjoyible, only for people who just love watching anime for the fun, and want to waste some time. it's a goofy anime with some good jokes and quike paced and even some romance, i can't really recomand this to critics. the story is simple but very rushsed the comady can either be a hit or miss, there is not really any character develpment, there are alot of plot holes in the story. but even tho with these flaws it can ... be a very enjoyeble anime it tought me that being with good people can change you for the better .overal you should just give it a try, it's not the best anime or or the worse anime, i can see that the producers loved making this anime and that's what count the most to me.

First things first, this show "had" potential. I didn't read the manga/light novel of these so I cannot compare, though the first few episodes looked promising. It gave me some "Misfit of Demon King Academy" vibe, but failed terribly in execution.

We have Wang Ling, The generic overpowered MC. I was looking forward to seeing his powers, but all he does is hold back, Literally. it's not uncommon for overpowered characters to hold back to show how powerful they are, but this one is so over the top to the point of annoying and ridiculous. Oh wait, I forgot this was a slice-of-life anime, silly me. ... Kinda pointless tho, there's no challenge, he can literally fight anyone but he won't. Why? because the plot said that the world will end if he breaks the seal on his powers lmao.

It doesn't introduce anything new, it's like whoever created this shit took parts from big franchises and mashed it all together. Heck even Arifureta is better than this

Animation: 6/10 Kinda mediocre, but still better than Studio Deen's seven deadly sins.
Music: 5/10
Characters: 4/10
Enjoyment: 4/10

If you're bored and don't have anything else to watch at the moment, I guess you can give this a try. But if you finished hundreds of anime like me and you're looking for something new and worthwhile, STAY AWAY FROM THIS SHIT. Trust me

I don't understand why so many people view this donghua as a ripoff of Saiki K. While there may be a few parallels both shows take a completely different approach to storytelling. While Saiki is one of my favorites, and a hilarious episodic anime that gradually develops its characters, Xian Wang de Richang Shenghuo focuses more on drama, emotions, and the fighting aspect of its xianxia genre. I am certainly not accustomed with cultivation and chinese mythology, but I still found this donghua to be enjoyable.

STORY: The entire story feels relatively drawn out of context. Especially the introduction and relationship of the male op ... mc (Wang Ling), and the lead female (Sun Rong) is rushed. Even though nearly all events are highly exaggerated and not quite plausible, when not knowing about the antagonists' motivations, they are still presented well. I like the producer's humor and the comedic elements of the show as they add to the story. And while those gags could never hold up to Saiki, they are still valid and pulled off fairly good.
Nonetheless, the viewer has to deal with a lot of plotholes, and a lack of development as the show rather focuses on portraying how stuff happens, than why it does. 4,5/10

ART/ANIMATION: Generally nothing special, but they did justice to the fight scenes, as those were visually stunning. (Ex. Ep14) 7/10
SOUND: The OP has grown on me, idk about the ED.. the sound design is good though. 7/10

In conclusion, this show is still watchable, even without profound characters or a coherent story. 6/10
