Great Spear Fights, Otherwise Boring

LIKES:
Wardrobe of FL & ML
Costume of Snake guardians of ML, nice hair accessories for females and males
Buildings and outdoor scenery very familiar, obviously used in other dramas.
The spell casting on par with other magic use dramas
Fitting music
Xu Kai’s spear fighting & fight choreography in general was good
Great cast (I watched this because of Xu Kai)

DISLIKES:
FX:
Terrible CGI, as shown throughout drama, starting from opening sequence with deer.
Terrible/lazy makeup for the demon/zombies
FX for Demon God was dumb, especially the helium balloon voice
WRITING:
Usual tropes of this genre, same old formula which is disappointing for 2023, messy/lazy plot strung out for 40 episodes
Also trying to entice gamers with attack names popping up on the screen like in Mortal Kombat (which in 2023 is very cheesy).
The FL, a goddess who is weaker than the average warrior is way too funny.

Bad Directing in too many ways to bother listing.

Costumes:
Mask of bad guy 2nd in command was terrible, like a cheap dollar store costume mask.
Lion costume was cheesy head, the director didn’t even have the actor doing any cat like behaviours.

MUSIC/SOUNDS:
The Sound effects in Ep. 39 for consuming another person’s essence sounded like someone flushed a toilet and it got stuck in flushing mode! LMAO

OVERALL: Disappointing even with Xu Kai trying his best in this role. I used a lot of fast forward just to get through the whole drama. Pacing issues and so many boring parts that it dragged down the drama.
