Okay but not Great!
Some of the settings reminded me of Ten Miles & Ashes of Love. Some of the settings, Ancient Love is better but some environment like the palace, demon realm etc i prefer Ashes of Love. Power effect, fighting skills, outfits i prefer Ashes of Love.When i first watched it i didnt like the female lead for Shanggu. She is afterall the God of Chaos/Chief God, ideally she should look the part. Wu Huan looked more suitable to be the God of Chaos.
Bai Jue is known to be COLD, ignored all females but he developed a little feeling for Shanggu at Ep2. BORING. Too Soon and Too Easy for someone who ignored all females for a long time.
Storyline could be interesting but went off along the way.
Shanggu sacrificed herself to stop the Tribulation of Chaos but it was still on hence Bai Jue's "elaborate" plan to take over Power of Chaos in order to save Shanggu from the next tribulation.
I have a hard time looking at Shanggu romancing with Bai Jue because no offence its like looking at a brother confessing romantic love to his little sister. I feel yek.
It was also boring that a powerful being with the Power of Chaos doesn't show her power much. Finally when she managed to trained and successfully gotten stronger, i was like YESSS then she sacrificed herself and back to square one, a weak Houchi. Even after she absorb the spiritual energy of Pilgrimage Hall, she still did now show much potential. It was boring watching her character. Her acting is good but when shes with Bai Jue, shes the eager beaver smiling playfully like a child. Again to me this is not suitable for God of Chaos, maybe in the beginning but eventually needs to be developed.
She causes trouble trying to do big things but with no capability and ended up causing more harm than good and people have to save her (exp, collecting the 3 relic to help Boxuan).
Gu Jun is impressive, i wish to see more of him in action. His presence, the way he speak, the fear he instill is wow. He is more suited to be the Heaven King instead of weak Muguang.
Tianqi could be impressive but turns out quite disappointing. He could do a lot of interesting damage but hes too busy going around chasing after Shanggu who doesnt want him.
When Tianqi and Yuanqi are together, both of them bantering are so cute.
Wu Huan is pure evil, power hungry and her defeat was somewhat unsatisfying, I would say too easy. Her punishment also somewhat unsatisfying and am also wondering why Jingzhao is allowed to run around free even though she poisoned Bai Jue.
I wouldnt say nono to this series but do watch it, maybe you'll like it more than i do. As for rewatch value definitely no no for me, I cant bare to look at a brother romancing his little sister all over again.
