Chinese xianxia. The point is for MC to reach enlightenment and become very strong.

What's great about this anime is the really down to earth but still uplifting comedy and perspective towards life. For example the MC is the one that bullies at some point some secondary characters, multiple times, for the fun of it and the out of convenience and it's all in a very lighthearted manner. The anime won't tell you what to think about this event, it's neither bad nor good, just funny and convenient, but usually one can also find a moral.

The main character is overpowered in the sense that he never loses, but in every episode he needs to find a path to become better or work towards his goal. Most of the times he needs to interact with his fellow clan members, teachers or other clan members in a more complex fashion than just quid pro quo or being opponents. I'd say this anime is a great picture of humanity while also tackling the inherent inequalities of life as well as various ways to live your life.

One significant issue is that some parts are really rushed or left unexplained, or the writer had some glorious idea that he couldn't quite accomplish in writing.

The animation is not on par with what is being done now, or 10 years ago. It's not ugly but definitely not nice, it's passable. Art style is fine, but the manga looks way better.

It's probably one of the most honest anime out there.
