Story: 7/10
It's a decent story. MC gets kicked of the team/ retired from the company he was in. Goes and transfers in a new account. Rebuilds a new character in-game, gathers up a new team, astonishes a bunch of people and rise back to the top. Something I liked about the anime was that it was a MMORPG gaming show without the whole "stuck-in-the-world" aspect, making it refreshing. Moreover, it has cool action scenes and finds a nice balance between Real life and Gaming.
Art: 8/10
Pretty slick animation, not just for a chinese anime, but for anime in general. The lighting kind of reminds me of Fate/Zero. A few frames were re-used in the first 5 episodes but it gets better later on. I take in-game repeated frames as the people using the same skills. The character design looks a bit weird- they look younger than I expected and some are not quite as distinct designs as others. The CGI background people are also a problem. Overall though, the art is very nice.
Sound: 7/10
The music is alright. Nothing too impressive, not terrible either.
I applaud the VA for doing a good job voice acting. Most of them sound pretty natural. Compared to other Chinese anime, this show has excellent voice acting! Also, I was told that the characters don't sound very emotional. I think they usually sound like normal Chinese people. The show doesn't tend to exaggerate voices like many Japanese shows do, so maybe people are just accustomed to JP over exaggerating voices? The Chinese language was not a problem for me and I was told that many viewers got used to it soon enough.
Characters: 8/10
Characters are both the strong and weak points of the show. On one end, the villains are portrayed as rather one dimensional in the anime. On the other end, I love the characterization of Ye Xiu and other veteran pro players as well as new players on his team. The MC is a troll and a God-tier player. OP. So OP. If you want a weak MC this is not for you. He is intelligent, strategic, and he's not a stupid teenage boy. His interactions with other gamers are the best and super shameless and he bargains with them to gain the materials needed to level up his umbrella weapon. The females of the show are alright. I find the manager a bit thick and annoying but Su Mucheng (blond girl) is nice and so is the stubborn Tang Rou (short hair). Many have their eyes set on Huang Shao Tian, a super talkative but skilled trashtalker, and Steam Bun Invasion, an oblivious trashtalker who's very fun. Both would be annoying in real life but fans love them. Also, Wang Jie xi, wizard pro, showed up in the latest episode and he's quite good too. Important characters have distinct and lovable personalities that balances out the blandness of the company leaders and other villains.
Enjoyment: 9/10
I really enjoyed the anime despite how much it cut out from the novel. It's at episode 7 but it has the content of chapter 120+ in the novel. Otherwise it's awesome to see the fights animated and adding to the awesome characters is the bits of humors that are pretty funny, mostly from Ye Xiu's shamelessness.
Overall: 8/10
Despite my personal enjoyment, I'm rating it 8/10 because there are many holes that came from the anime showing but not telling enough to the viewers. Cutting so much novel material also made it a problem. However, the animation is top notch and the characters are great! The series has gotten more enjoyable as it goes on and I hope you'll give it a chance!
