Lol I started off watching the donghua several years back at season 1, and just like you I couldn't stand the slow pace the episodes were released, so I ended up picking up the novel😂

Yes it is. Some corrections to the wiki though: In previous life her name was Gan Rushuang (extra 'u', rushuang means "like frost"). Her daughter's name was Gan Jiuzhen, Jiao San (which means Jiao-3) was her call sign when doing missions with The Reincarnation Hall (btw Jiao in Chinese mystic means "dragon like snake", it has the potential of becoming a dragon "long" but still at its infancy form). The Reincarnation Hall didn't appear until volume 2; they put on mask when doing missions, and their call sign was written on their mask. When Han Li first joined their missions, his call sign was "Jiao Shiwu" (Jiao-15) and he was under the command of Jiao-3. Later he was promoted and given a new mask, and his call sign was changed.

Their character modelling was criticized in the first season or two in that the women appearances all looked about the same, but they have improved tremendously since then. Now not only the girls are very pretty. the graphics and animations look top notch as well.

Yes you're right on this account. The storyline is quite flat and like you said it's just about HL's cultivation. What's really amazing in the novel is the author's imagination and his ability to make the battles extremely exciting and tense. When I first read through the novel, there were many moments that made me unable to put it down and wanted to carry on reading, even when it was way pass bed time lol.

😂😂😂

Donghua also did some amount of condensation/alterations. E.g. you'll notice the difference between drama & donghua at Mo's family.

He also gave NGW the ageless pill lol

Douban was infamous of score manipulation by rival companies. Douban had fought hard against this problems and had installed many anti manipulation algorithms, but you can still find traces of that if look carefully.

The first 3 books started slow, because it was the author's first novel, and he wasn't sure what to write lol. The donghua had gotten not so favorable reviews in it's first season too, partly due to poor modelling of the characters and partly the not so rich plot. The pace will pick up after this.

Season 1 drama ends at chapter 363 (book 3), out of a total of 2446 chapters (11 books) in volume 1 (spiritual realm). Lots of stories were condensed to fit into one season while a few were expanded (e.g. Ms Mo's story), but in general they did a very good job adhering to the main story and all the main stuffs are included.

The drama ending didn't show but he did teleported with Qu Hun. The later even helped him destroy the array at the receiving end.

I couldn't remember already because I randomly reply to people's comment lol.

Han Li eventually realized it was NGW, after returning to Tiannan and asking the people in her sect, and they told him NGW didn't have any cousin... but that's long long way down the road.

He doesn't have time ability to time travel, not until a very very very long time later (after ascending to immortal realm). But even after he had the power he didn't do it, because the author explained that it's way of Tao for people to live and die, especially those who are cultivating because what they are doing are against nature/heaven. But he did travel back once to save one of his... erm... friend (girl of course lol).

The drama ends at volume 1, book 3, chapter 363.

They have the intention but whether they can get the funding for S2 depends on whether S1 is a commercial success for Youku. And I heard they spent lots of money on S1, each episode was estimated to be 1+ to 2 millions RMB (I heard). If they lost money then it probably won't be...

He was referring to the donghua😂 Han Li will ascend to Nascent Soul this weekend in the donghua.

There is one on Youtube, "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality", look for the channel "Ani-Mi Asia". It's currently at season 4.

He teleported to a new continent to begin his new adventures, and the place is called "Sea of Chaotic Stars" in the novel, although the donghua calls it as "Sea of Stars".

Ok fair enough, peace 👍
