Wei Wo Du Shen

I wont waste a lot of words. Typical chinese "cultivation" scheme level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 master and grandmaster etc. This is to be expected so its not a negative or positive because that part truly is about implementation. Lots of really decent action scenes, some romantic tension and decent plot to overthrow an entire kingdom.

i give them credit for all these good things. there tho is underlying problem...too MANY storylines. im sure they'd say...well deal with that season 2345...but no guarantee this will happen so viewer is left asking...but what about this and this and ... this etc etc some 40 times and thats just TOO much. they could have semi wrapped these mini stories without ending them forever and it would be easier on the satisfaction level for viewer. frankly they had no choice but to leave them just in lala land because they didnt have enuf 6 minsegments to cover even 10 of them.

THE REAL RUB - you watch all this and i naturally hoped a FEW maybe 1 even MAINstoryline is resolved. its not. terrible ending very lackluster almost sleepy. theres this sickly emperor that just TOTALLY RIPS the excitement and anticipation out of ending. ITS PROFOUNDLY AWFUL. these folks have fought endlessly over 44 episodes with decent action as i said, romantic tension, secret love interest etc and then in comes SICKLY EMPEROR and sucks any remaining life outof the story. no resolve to main romantic tension love. just empty nothing. no resolve of grandmaster maniac did all this.
no hint of his true identity either ...just a bloody hint.

everyone cultivated to really high levels risked life love and limb to basically wander off staring into the sky...

no literally STARING AT THE SKY...

watch for action. then BRACE YOURSELF to be let down hard..

they ARE hoping for a season 2 but i know ill be very leary of them do it again at season 2 end.

god so MANY MANY story lines left unanswered. i could list easily 30-40. very bad storytelling. these other storylines wont hit you right away but as you ponder the series it will begin to hit you.

read enuf... good i hope you enjoy 1-40ish and that my review has properly braced you for the toxic wrapup. cheers

Let's get right into it. Here are the reasons why I do not recommend watching the show:

- too much focus on adding useless scenes (filler characters greeting the MC, praising what MC did)
- rushed interactions between MC and other important characters regarding key events (dialogues between MC and other important characters are not shown, but hinted that they took place before the scene; what was discussed? we do not know but we can see they are not happy about it)
- things happen before they are explained. Even though that's not necessarily a bad thing, here the issue lies in the disorganization and cramming of way ... too many scenes in an episode
- a lot of things don't make sense. Fantasy world, I get that, but since when does an army get inside the enemy's camp(+3k soldiers) unstructured by no-one? Walls (just for show); guards (nah, a well organized army camp doesn't need them); scouts (never heard of those)
- we know nothing about MC or any other character (background, past, family, how he got to where they are when introduced)
- no time spent setting the ambiance of a scene, creating an atmosphere between characters
- the development of the story is too fast for the viewer to be able to make sense of what actually happens, what is the story about
- the thing that is missing the most are DETAILS.

Long story short of this series: This and that happens because god knows why, and those guys that came out of nowhere participated. Also, MC does his best to help(?) and cultivates 2 seconds to get to the next level.

Who needs in-depth when you can cram a lot of scenes together and call it job done. This show is the definition of quantity over quality.
