In short: if you like a strong main character and well animated fights, without a structured story, you may find some enjoyment in it.

First of all, this show, and the reason I am watching it is because it is based on a Chinese light novel with the same name (around 2000 chapters), which I have finished and heavily recommend.

For the donghua, even though a lot of hard work has been put in to it, and the sound and animation is not bad, compared to the novel, so many important plot points are missed, and most arcs are rushed without explaining things about how the ... world works, how cultivation works, and what the main character actually goes through. It just feels like a highlight reel of the main battles of the novel.

For these reasons, it is quite unsatisying and confusing to watch this without having read the novel. I will only continue to watch it because I am too obsessed with the novel and want to see certain scenes animated.

Bottom line - If you enjoy reading, read the novel instead, and watch the donghua for some of your favorite scenes animed. The donghua show on its own is not a good story.
