Plot summary: The MC is a gaming streamer, likely a top-player as well, of a wuxia martial arts game. After recieving a bracelet modeled after an ingame item (believing it is for him to promote/advertise) he is sent isekai into the game world. He arrives in an alternate timeline China, where the assassination of the Qin Emperor prevented the unification of China and led to the continued war until the "modern" time. The MC uses the bracelet (artifact) and cultivates to live and rise up in this world.
The setting can be considered a mix of Japanese isekai and Chinese cultivation stories. The MC does have a cheat, but not a OP broken cheat right off the bat. Instead he has to work/use his cheat to strengthen himself. Since it is in the historical fantasy genre, you can expect similar setting, presentation, speech and drama of historical dramas. Expect the more gradiose/long-winded political debates, cross class romance, romantic drama, etc. Intermixed is some decent comedy. The plot so far is not too deep, but we can clearly see there are things going on in the background that is being built up.
The character models and art is good. The animation quality is also high; it is a bit childish, but that's fine. There are quite a few characters who will probably be main contributors to the plot, though most of the focus for now is on the MC as he gets stronger. This Season 1 can be could be considered a prologue to the story.
If you like historical fantasy drama or cultivation type works, this is a good watch. I would recommend it.
Now as an adaptation, this donghua is probably the closest I have ever seen to a "perfect" adaptation. One of the reasons for this is because the original work is a manhua, which has much more manuveurability in it's plot than a novel. Novels tend to require prioritization because of how detailed it can be, while manhuas have looser plots and require readers to "fill in the holes". That said, there are some noticable changes to the donghua plot. Part of it involves introducing certain characters eariler to build them up as an antagionist, quick recoveries from injuries to spare resources on animation. There does appear to be some details and dialogue left out that suggested the "awakening" that happened at the end. All the other changes made the plot develop more smoothly so they were all considered good changes.
By the way, the donghua adapts manhua chapters 1-39.
Adaptation score (how faithful to source): 8/10
