Would be nice though if the tags were updated so people don't get scammed into watching it. I did not mean you, you were a perfect gentleman. I wish myself that there was a tag so people who tend to get agressive would not badmouth this story, even based on fan comments only, because that happens sometimes. But there is actually no direct proof in the donghua that the relationship in question is not platonic, so I can see why they haven't tagged it. This might yet change, or not. But it is still undeniably a special bond between two men, and knowing nothing about you as a person I won't take the responsibility of giving any guarantees that you would not regret watching it, after all. If it helps any, Revolutionary Girl Utena, despite being THE staple shoujo ai/yuri anime, is not tagged shoujo ai or yuri on MAL either. Neither of the extremely gay seasons of Sailor Moon (the 3rd and 5th) are tagged either. MAL pretty much requires people to kiss multiple times on screen before it will tag a series as shounen or shoujo ai or yaoi/yuri, which is absurd. TLDR; MAL tags cannot be trusted for LGBTQ stuff. |
| Imma give it a 10 just after this episode, i've been taking Chinese animes for granted it seems The visuals!!! SUCH A SEXY GHOST! *DROLLING OVER THE SCREEN* (also it's clear who'd be top and who'd be bottom if it were a bl lol, i can't stop thinking about it, damn) |

My attention span is around a few secs lol so reading a novel is out of question, i'd read it if it were a manhaw tho |

| holy mother of God the subs were way too fast, I didn't honestly understand that much but it was G O R G E O U S x___x I seriously can't understand how something like this that doesn't seem that popular, or from a big studio, can get such insane animation quality compared to popular anime omg. I'm not complaining! I'm just mindblown in all aspects lmao from colors to animation to the music... WOW. Still, in order to understand something I think I'll first read the book (from my understanding it was written by the creator of MDZS so I'm looking forward to it!) uwu |

Manhua was at 1st place on billibilli even before the first chapter was posted. |

+1 for this suggestion :) |
| nice first episode, didn't really get what was going on. I haven't read the novel. all I got was dude who got banished 2 times already decided to join the realm of gods thingy then he gets sent on a mission to kill that demon that has been taking princesses recently, then plot twist, he knows the dude that has been doing this all along from back in the day? may be wrong here. Does anyone know why Xie Lian has two henchmen if no one likes him? or am I asking too late. |

Does anyone know why Xie Lian has two henchmen if no one likes him? or am I asking too late. The two henchmen has their own history and their own reason why they doing that, but you won't be knowing it for now because it will be revealed much later in novel, since this season 1 will only cover up to book 1, you wont know much about them. The thing with tgcf is, you just have to be patient and wait until you gets further into the story and they will revealed more until you get the whole damn thing lol. After finished the novel for the first time I even go back n reread tgcf novels bc going thru them the first time I had no idea what the Fuck was goin on lol after reread it for 2x times it becoming more clear. So for first time watcher/reader it was like an information overload so pay attention, theres gonna be hint throwing here and there, dont be confused to each detail/expression/reaction between each character because the way the act and talk all have their own reason that will be much more clear later on(tho you wont find it on season 1). |

| I don't know if it's just me but even though I really liked this episode it has left me very confused, especially the in the end. Should I read the novels before watching the rest of it? |

Should I read the novels before watching the rest of it? It can be confusing for first time watchers, especially if you are not used to this kind of world building/setting. You could watch this season then jump to the novel or go straight to the novel if you want more details and explanations of the characters and the world then come back to watch the donghua. The choice is yours. I'll just say that as a novel reader, I am enjoying this adaptation. |
ilalochezia said: Asena said: Initial thoughts: I love the visuals and character design. Animation is lacking but I feel like it would not have bothered me much if at least the voice acting and OSTs were much better but that's unfortuantely not the case. The voice acting feels very underwhelming and the soundtracks don't fit TGCF's vibe either. Also the pacing is indeed quite fast, especially for all the dialogues. Anyways I'm only one episode in so we'll see where it's gonna go! Be somewhat careful: the pacing goes from fast to slow, and there's going to be some underwhelming elements, which will be particularly irritating for viewers unfamiliar with the source material. Because of this, I highly recommend you to read the original novel or to at least get a better sense of the story on the TGCF wikia. It will definitely aid your viewing and enjoyment. Have fun! Maybe avoid the wikia... It contains spoilers. Definitely +1 for the novel though. |
| I've always been interested in the bureaucratic nature of the ancient Chinese heavenly pantheon so this is very cool in my view. I'm getting some yaoi vibes but since I initially saw some of the cover art I was not entirely surprised. I'm still interested in the story and the art style is very nice so I'm gonna watch this till the end. If MAL synopsis is to be believed this is his third ascension into heaven at the beginning of the episode. the first one was narrated near the end. I'm interested on what happened between the first ascension and before his third ascension, as there were some vague references and scenes to it on the narration. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Japanese Dub Ep 1 They merged 2 episodes into one so lots of scenes were cut... But still awesome !!! hope they dont cut any other scenes !!! |
| Watched it in English dub. The animation and the music is top tier. Didn't fully understand what's going on but this one episode is enough to convince me to keep watching this series. |

| Im surprised its chinese yet apparantly people say it has bl in it. Not judging but chinese arent really known for acceptiing gay stuff much >< Anyways i didnt really notice anything bl yet? First episode seems interesting so far :) just the action could be animated a bit better in my opinion. It felt more like moving pictures at some parts >< 2 tsundere men heh XD this will be fun lol Ungrateful girl tho he just wanted to help you know.. wonder who the ghost will be Also the ending song is soothing and beautiful |
 |
| watching the first episode, let's see what happens. |
 |
| This donghua is top gorgeous! Although I'm struggling at reading the text though, cuz It goes too fast º_º; But I'll still give this one a try. Great start by the way ^^ |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| Art, design, animation all very good. Fight scenes were cool. Lil lost, hard to remember the names, but I got the gist of the story. The prince was once a ruler then ascended and the "monster" is the boy he saved? |
| WOW the animation is very beautiful, worthy of Japanese animation, just like the opening and ending which are MAGNIFICENT! Be careful if you watch on Netflix, the episode is cut in two, I got fooled... |
| this is so peak So many hot people Its gorgeous and is quite different to the painting style of the manhua and the novel covers Voice acting could be a bit more expressive is my only complaint On the Chinese va’s Don’t know how its hard to understand for people.Guessing if your unfamiliar with cultivation |
