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
