Along the way, he faces formidable challenges, meets unforgettable characters, and learns valuable lessons about friendship ... and resilience.

What Makes It Good

What Could Be Better

Pacing Issues: Some viewers have pointed out that the pacing can be uneven. Certain arcs feel rushed, while others drag on, which might disrupt the flow for some. Personally, I find the pacing intriguing; it keeps me on my toes, even if it’s not flawless.
Familiar Tropes: The series does lean on familiar fantasy tropes, which might feel predictable to some. For me, though, the execution still keeps things engaging. Sometimes, there’s comfort in classic storytelling.
Character Depth: While Shi Hao and the main characters are well-developed, some supporting characters could use a bit more depth. I think that with a little more attention to these characters, the overall story could become even richer. But the main cast does a great job of carrying the narrative.
Conclusion

Well...
After i saw the trailer, i was omg this will be fantastic.
I started to see
-word is good, i like it, i love it
-story is absolute okay for me
-chars are not bad, i like it
-sounds effect are ok
-chars voice are hard, sometimes good, sometimes bad
-the animation... hmmm... its very hard. the total world looks like "omg, very goood, i mean very very goooood"
but the chars animations, when do something (neck break) in the world is strange or face in speech, not what i like
... need much more work in chars
in my opinoin

all - it is a good anime, but not great one, not a masterpiece
as i think, the possibility to be better is there

so it was good like maybe approximately 40-50 episodes and then everything went to hell when he defeat his cousin's brother for stealing his bone. by hell i mean they literally made MC into some garbage trash. also don't go by the frecking genres tags there is a harem and that's also where everything went to hell MC got 1 too many girls and honestly like none of the girl characters aren't worthy to be in a harem-like they frecking surpass his stupid harem they should have been in the league of their own MC wasn't worthy of any of the girl this is basically ... night and shining armor tropes where MC saves some girls and she just fell for him god why they do all the female characters so bad. they made the girls absolutely weak. furthermore, the only reason i stuck around was to see MC reunited with his family but no they start to frecking giving random villains when he is done taking revenge on his cousin's brother. honestly wasted my time. i hate the fact that the genre tags were "action, fantasy, and adventure" there was no tag mentioning that there was gonna be a "trashy" harem-like, way to go ruin good female characters and make MC into worthless trash. also, I'm not just upset cause they did the female characters badly let me put it this way MC literally imprison one of the fairy girls and made her become his maid nice right (sarcasm) it totally not any Stockholm syndrome oh yes, and to make it perfect they sugar coat it as if she actually wanted to be MC maid mind you although she lost to MC she went down fighting. 1 more thing the same girl MC was like "keep her by my side wouldn't bring me any trouble, right? stay by my side I will protect you" mind you he was checking her mind out littery diving into her consciousness totally not invading of privacy it's for everyone to go into someone consciousness (sarcasm). anyways i haven't seen him meet his parents someone who likes this show commented on the episode where he meets his family cause no way in hell I'm gonna waste more of my time watching this also MC's plot armor made him into a garbage person heck his personality is hypocritical cause he's like don't bully the weak but he does the same thing also slowly his male friend disappear as soon as his harem start to be building. i haven't seen the little monkey for a good while and the lions with many heads. so yeah I'm dropping this also his male friend is way better than him so far that i see. also when i say "male friend" disappears i mean you don't see them anymore in the anime barely any screen time most of his time is with his harem screen time.
