Yes, it's not surprising there are so many novels and donghuas based on it, plus and with fan fiction one will end up with similarities in different stories.
At least the donghua is still airing, I have seen many donghuas that never got another season compared to that, at least this is good.
This is the second drama after Blood of youth in youku I watched while it was airing and finished it.

Yes, which is a rarity I was surprised, but last few episodes they made changes maybe they don't plan to do another season.

I liked this one, it was interesting.

Sun wukong stories all have something in common, female characters sacrifice their lives. In one drama, monkey gets the girl but the twist it's sort of fake monkey, the true one goes with the monk. Wukong travels though time so some of this things get changed like in one story the bull demon's wife falls in love with wu kong.

The show is not bad, it might feel like slow and very depressing, but it was interesting as story progressed, I paused watching it when it aired but resumed few months ago and finished it and I liked it, watching season 1 first get to know more about the sibling rivalry.

Maybe Censoring issue, still better than few episodes airing and then going down, I have seen two such shows one in IQIYI another in Yoku.

After reading comments, decided to skip the show
