Synopsis

The mere mention of the Yiling Patriarch strikes fear in those who hear it, even though the man behind the title has been deceased for 13 years. It is said that, as a practitioner of demonic cultivation, he raised the dead to wage war against the great cultivation sects. The true name of the Yiling Patriarch is Wei Ying, courtesy name Wuxian, and he has returned from the dead, summoned into the body of a mad man!

When Wei Wuxian reawakens, he finds himself in Mo Village, which is owned by a branch family of one of the great sects. No sooner does he have time to get his bearings before his world is thrown into disarray again—by a dismembered arm leaking an immense amount of demonic energy. However, the origin of the limb is only the first mystery. Shortly after, the ever-stoic Lan Wangji—someone whom Wei Wuxian believes to harbor great animosity toward him—arrives to sweep Wei Wuxian off his feet!

As Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji seek to unravel the mystery behind the demonic arm, they face both enemies and friends of old, and its link to Wei Wuxian's downfall all those years ago.

Preliminary (189/260 eps)
This is the best Boy's Love manga I've read. Despite being a Chinese manga, and having to follow the strict censorship regulations of LGBT+ content that exist in China, the relationship of the two protagonists has been adapted clearly and beautifully, being as faithful as legally possible to the source novel.

But Mo Dao Zu Shi is so much more than a gay romance.

Story: 10/10

There are several arcs in this story. With its current 190 chapters, the manhua has adapted roughly 60% of the full story, as presented in the novel. The Mo Dao Zu Shi storytelling combines different timelines, slowly unveiling many mysteries and providing ...

Let us start with what this Manhua actually is as it is by far most important factor.
You see - the name of the manhua is BY FAR the most misleading title in the history of mankind.

If you were hoping for some serious evil demonic cultivation series - throw your thoughts away, RIGHT NOW, leave this page immediately and never return!
You are still here? Alright, let's continue then.
The demonic cultivation is mostly an afterthought. In fact 'cultivation' is outright not present at all, characters are Mary Sue from get go.
There are elements of Chinese Xianxia but they are so barebones they might as well not exist.

The ...

In short, the entire mdzs universe is worth it for the donghua. At the beginning of the manhua the art is really bad. Then, it improves a little, but not enough, since the story is poorly adapted compared to the donghua. The manhua in general, and sex chapters specifically, are childish and this causes the loss of all the solemnity, mystery, and delicacy of the story.

So disappointing that this manhua is not up to par the story. And probably it's the same for the original novel. To sum up, the great work have been made by the creators of the donghua. Long live ...
