A better drama compared to Sword & Fairy 6/Chinese Paladin 6 but has pacing issues
As mentioned by everyone, this drama sadly has pacing issues.
The first 10 episodes also sends a wrong message about the show being about the coming of age of the MC and starts off slowly, but quickly changes into the usual "Demons are coming and I'm going to save the world" xianxia.
There's also a huge info dump around the last 10 episodes.
Of course if you watch often, you'd already know that this is very typical of dramas from China.
The criticism aside, the show is still a much better experience to watch compared to Sword and Fairy 6, which is airing at the same time as this drama simply because of the action/fight scenes. This is a mix of traditional and modern action scenes, where the usual finger pointing is still present but there's also a lot of acrobatics, making it a very enjoyable watch.
While Sword and Fairy 6 is basically Naruto, where the pacing is much better but everyone is just doing hand signs.
That said, Both Sword and Fairy dramas still falls into the "Demons are coming and I'm going to save the world" trope regardless as it's an adaptation from the game and can't really stray too far off.
