Complicated XianXia with good CGI, good story but dragging and too long winded

I have quite high expectation on this drama. I love Xu Kai and he performs very well in this drama and can bring the character well. ZDY also performs very well, can depict the innocence of a low power, playful goddess. She can portray the emotions very well through out the story. Playful, naughty, desperate, in love, longing, sadness of separation, all emotions can be seen on her acting.

The CGI on this drama is also quite impressive considering this is a TV series with multiple episodes. I can imagine the creative and illustrator team working on bringing the CGI to live, it must be a tremendous effort to make it flawless.

Now my opinion about the story. The first 15 episodes can make me feel engage to this drama and keep wanting to go to the next episodes to see on how the relationship between ML and FL builds up. However, I was expecting more romance building up, but I don’t feel that I am getting it.

After that, I feel like the story started to be drifted and dragged to side stories of the supporting roles. Starting episode 16 onwards, ma patient ran out and started to be skipping some scenes, pressing fast forward. All because I was eager to see what will happen next between Xu Kai and ZDY. Are they going to be together? When they got separated will they be reconciled and how is the process of reconciliation?

Total of 49 episodes are quite too much for me, the pace is a bit slow and too many side stories. By fast forwarding some scenes, I didn’t lose much of the main story.

So in conclusion, if you are patient enough then you will love it. But is you are too anxious to see what will happen next (like me), then it kind of too slow pace. I am not saying it is boring but skipping scenes will help and may not lose the essence of the story.

But I guess it is fair to say that the story involves more than 60 thousand years lifespan so having a 49 episodes series is understandable ?
