Whats with the low score?

i'm 7 episodes in and i'm really enjoying it. 8/10 rating so far

i've realized i like this "cultivation" stuff. and i like the chinese wuxia style of film, so these donghua shows match my interests

most chinese shows don't get many viewers or ratings. i hadn't noticed the 1/10 vote brigading going on before, but DAMN it's definitely happening with this show. i wonder if the score will shoot up once the series ends and some of the low ratings are excluded

I was watching a bunch of "Chinese Anime" to see what they were about and this one was actually the first one I liked, so I don't know about the brigading, but a lot of them just suck.

This show though: it looks really well made, the story is engaging, overall nice, but it is an entirely different thing. First of all it's CGI, but the whole pacing, art style, setting and mostly the story feels much more like a movie than anime.

The fact that there are multiple episodes with this level of quality is remarkable.

It is maybe dumb to wonder about the limits of a genre, but maybe the low scores are a reflection of this?

This is cool, it's Asian, but it really isn't anime.

I love this show, i just dont understand why a ton of people rated it at a 1 when it hasn't even aired like 10 eps yet?

I honestly think it's a case of review bombing. I've watched a fair amount of wuxia cultivation donghua and as others said, most of them are pretty bad as a result of terrible CGI, poor adaptation from source material or 'copy & paste' cultivation tropes/clichés leading to many of what is out there to be unoriginal.

The 3D CGI animation of Wanmei Shijie is leaps and bounds beyond the majority of its competitors. The story is relatively unique from that perspective as well.

The only justification I can give to support the review bombing is based off my experience with these other titles and comparing the percentage of 1's with all 2-10's. There are many unquestionably trash adaptations that are nowhere near this percentage of 1's.

Overall, I personally like the show and haven't felt this satisfied since Soul Land/BTTH adaptations.

Me too! I literally love this show as much as soul land and Btth! It's really unique like you said, I wish people would give it a chance. It really is on a different level.

I agree that the show is pretty good. I also love douluo dalu(soul land), and battle through the heavens. But I've gotta ask any know of any sites where I can watch this in order? Because almost all of the sites I've tried watching this on have had out of order episodes or even repeat episodes. The site I usually watch anime on only has 16 out of the 70 something episodes released for this series.
