Overall Opinion
The story adapted from a manhua, and because they only have 7-8 min per episode, it rushes the story way too much. If the writers had given the series more time, they might have been able to flesh out the story and characters more. Overall, it is not a bad watch, and does not take too long to finish. Mainly comedy, but if you’re into Chinese Mythology, that is an advantage too. You see a lot of powerful figures and characters from Chinese Mythology and see how they have transformed themselves in better living versions. Kind of like Percy Jackson, where the Gods are often a more modern, down-to-earth version. To put in best words, this is an outstanding story, but it required more screen time to flesh out every detail from the characters.
