I found out during watching the show it's based on, Gujian 1 game, I have yet to play Gujian 1 &2 which has no English translation but Gujian 3 has, it's one of the best Chinese games available, story was surprisingly good as well as it's gameplay, and it's told better than any Chinese drama wuxia/fantasy/xianxia genre I have watched.
So coming back to this drama story is based on first game, it has very popular cast, story takes time to progress like any 50-60 plus c dramas, Visual effects are not that great but for me, I don't mind if the story is interesting, some parts looked interesting some didn't, music was not bad, some of the supporting cast was good, but didn't like the character Fang Lan Sheng he was irritating but the actor who did that role is a good actor, but his character really tests viewers patience, the show quality would have increased more if they reduced the episodes, Romance is there, but it's light no kiss scenes, story focus on male lead and his friends and their adventure what they see, learn and how they grow and overcome difficulties etc.
Supporting characters are also given importance, they are not just there for names sake, but they also contribute to the story world, some of the story arcs were good, but main part of the story sometimes pauses and takes few episodes to continue and most of the major revelations are made after 40 episodes, show faces issues faced by any popular Chinese dramas that is 50-70 episodes long ie clichés, story getting dragged etc.
It's one time watch, maybe playing the game is better than watching the drama some issues might have happened when it was made into a drama and lost the best parts.
