Introduction
After being defeated by the leader of the Beimu clan, Mount Xuandu's chief disciple Shen Qiao falls off a cliff and nearly dies from his injuries. Unfortunately, the ruthless Cleansing Moon sect leader Yan Wushi, known for his cunning and skills, chances upon him and comes up with a sinister plan: turn the benevolent disciple into a vengeful cultivator who could one day become a worthy rival.
Shen Qiao is thrown headfirst into a world of betrayal and deception, contrasting with his once-strong beliefs that good could exist in everyone. As he encounters further hardships that push him to his wits' end, Shen Qiao is faced with the decision of continuing to uphold his kind nature—despite the cruel reality he has been shown—or giving in to the deceitful scheme of the spiteful Yan Wushi.

They said that this has a BL/Boy Love feel, so I tried watching it, (I'm a fujoshi haha🗿)
(Oh yeah, this is from my language to English (translate) so maybe the language will be a bit strange, I've commented in my language, but it was deleted by the moderator😭 I don't know the rules about comments, and this is my 2nd comment so I'm sorry🗿🔪)
Here's just each person's opinion about how much to score, if here it's just my opinion..
Many people say that those who have read the novel are disappointed with this donghua, if I haven't read the novel so I don't know..
My opinion on the STORY
The plot isn't that heavy (in my opinion) about fighting over what volume (treasure) and the golden flower ring, well typical stories in general, like the villain wants (goal) to rule the world (?)..
I…

Okay, so. I understand there are some flaws to this series, and I just...don't care. I will elaborate below.
Story:
"It's super rushed! The pacing is off compared to the book!" Yada yada, I don't care. If you come to an anime adaptation expecting an exact version of the book, you're probably not going to enjoy yourself and instead nitpick your way through. For someone who hasn't read the book, the story was interesting, I loved the worldbuilding, and I am thoroughly intrigued. It's also very much a series based on part of an existing novel - do not expect to figure out everything or get full character development for everyone, and you should be fine.
Art:
This is definitely on the lower end of the budget scale for danmei series, but the studio did a decent job (compared to, say, Dinghai…

As an adaptation of the novel this only gets a 4/10. If I were rating it as a stand alone show, I'd give it a 5 or 6 out of 10. My review is spoiler free for both the donghua and novel.
Story: 4/10 Compared to the novel, the pacing is extremely rushed. Every episode features one of the climactic moments from the novel, so the show just feels like a montage of all the cool fight scenes, with very little down time in between. For context, many of these fights happen weeks if not months apart from each other but the donghua does not make this very clear. I think they were maybe worried the slower pacing of the novel would be boring in an animation so they focused on the martial arts more. While martial arts are a big part of the novel, I would say it focus more on the philosophy behind ma…

First of all I would like to start by saying that I am a hardcore fujoshi i.e. a yaoi/Boy's Love(BL) lover. I started watching this donghua because I saw that it was based off of a bl novel. I knew NOTHING about the story prior to starting this donghua since I hadn't read the novel.
After watching the first episode, three things were clear to me : 1) the art was great, 2) the OP and ED were really catchy and melodious, 3) the story was interesting. By the first 5 episodes I was in love with Shen Qiao and Yan Wushi's characters and the relationship dynamics between them, which is kind of like the main attraction point of the series because of their polar opposite personalities and morals. But don't get me wrong it's the main attraction point, NOT the ONLY attraction point. The plot in itsel…
