Wang Ling is a high school student with a cool and carefree demeanor. Coming off as someone with a very low spiritual force, he actually possesses a power capable of destroying the world at a moment's notice. To mitigate the volatile force within him, his parents have resorted to using an amulet as a temporary solution. However, the amulet weakens over time and Wang Ling's emotions also accelerate its deterioration. Now with the amulet on the verge of breaking, Wang Ling and his father race against time in order to fix it.

China is putting out more and more anime and i have to say that there are good ones like King's Avatar, Antidote, The Grandmaster, Spiritpact etc. But this anime was just really plain. No real story, terrible writing AND so many plot holes ??? I feel like they tried to make every character have some sort of character growth, but in the end they didn't address any internal problems everyone had, except for the main character. And also why does this have the tag of "slice of life" that makes no sense. Something that also bothers me is that this anime had 15 episodes and halfof them where just fillers to make "memories" for characters so they could somehow make an emotional ending. terrible ending by the way.
Anyways, the characters are still cute and the concept of buddhism/spirit/magic/underworld is cool too.

This isn't even the real 'the daily life of the immortal king'. What can i say? When you want to make 'Justice League' out of 'Courage the Cowardly dog' then you will get abomination like this. Dude i read the novel and it was nothing like this. Yes, you don't need to follow the original but you still can't change your root completely and this was just that. Let's list the cons *There is no romance in the novel, or should i say not so early. Even if there is romance, it will be brushed away in a comedic undertone. That's how it should be. Man,do they even know what slice of life means? They made 'star wars' in 'simpson'.
* The original Wang Ling cares only about keeping his powers check and his noddles. And the story revolves how the adversary keeps poking mc, only to get squashed and that results in more pain in the neck for mc, all in a comedic undertone. And they made this 'romeo and juliet' somehow.
*This story somewhat follows upto the six assassins part after that all made up. Even those parts are poorly done. They rushed through the main punchlines like the frog summon or frog test, the novel was hilarious there. Also the limited sword part, they changed the original to mama Wang buying a cheap one. The real one was way more funny, go check no spoilers.
* Character? Like i said, Wang ling only likes his noddles and he doesn't care about nakama bullshit. And they made this shounen which is a disgrace. Lotus sun or the heroine is kind in rivalry with mc, but they made her a direct romance target from the start.
*Lot more can be said about how they changed the theme altogether. Even if i ignore the novel, the work is not done well that much either. For example, what is 59 or 60 high school? How this happened? Assuming that's the plot, and 59 and 60 being rivals how did 59 get 60's data instantly as if they are the main organization overseeing the data. And what about sword spirit? Why did they introduce it when they weren't used that much at all. Only the class president's were used. I can nitpick more but that's the gist without mention the novel.
Art is good like all Chinese animations. They had budget unlike most poor cheap ass Japanese productions. But the industry is shallow because of their inexperience and greed. Do you think people will jump into an unknown anime if they didn't hear about the novel first? Most of us wanted to experience the adaption of novel and I'm pretty disappointed
Just read the novel and one downvote for this

I could give this anime a 9. This Review is mainly about all the .. well.. mediocre reviews by people who "pretend" to have watched all the episodes. How can i tell that they "pretend"? Well ez: they say things like "If you want something similar watch Saiki K." (Truthfully one of my most favorite and objectively best anime ever with some of the best Comedy in all of Media.) The start: the anime starts out like Saiki K. It has an overpowered protagonist that doesnt want/need his power. At first mainly the animations hooked me to this point. It clearly does a worse job than SaikiK. at establishing his character at this point of the story as Saiki as an example doesn't really need his power AT ALL. He is in a world of humans. He is also not a god but has just a plethera of abilities that just make his life boring. Yare yare..
But let me shock you all by making a 180° turn: this anime but shines in all the aspects Saiki K. just brutaly failed. To this conclusion i only came to after the 14. Episode of this anime.
To further make my point without spoiling too much i wan't to point out to what conclusion i came after talking about this show with a friend.
There are a lot of overpowered Main anime leads out there. Most of the people that watched this specific show will also probably have come across at least a handful of these. They all are similar in the way that the one super special girl is in love with the lead but he is just too motherf****** powerful for his life and just either doesn't care about his entourage bc his purpose is above their existence or his life - to which they belog - is just overall too boring. Btw the whamen is always in love with this neutral-hearted dud bc he just ignores her at first sight.
This anime starts out as exactly that. If it weren't for the tasty af animations up to the last 3 episodes one would probably not even stick around for that long.
That leads me to exactly .. the point that makes this Anime all the much better. Wait. for. it. In a way there IS a real similarity to Saiki K. That would be that it takes on it's genre fellows. But not in a comedic way as Saiki K does it .. or Gintama as the most iconic example .. but in a serious way. If i may throw this in: just as MAGIC GIRL MADOKA !! Also one of the objectively best and one of my favorite shows out there.
The essence of these anime is not something like overall insane Stories. It's not that they pull out a theme insanely well like what you'D say about GOT for example. No it's much rather that they manage to get.. serious. Serious and that not right off the bat .. but progressively.. rather surprisingly. Basically it's a to the ground taking unexpected turn of events that comes in an unexpected manner because it takes place in a genre where it's just so unusual. Actually numerous of my favorite and objectively best shows do something like that. Madoka, this anime, Re:Zero, overly cautious hero, Watchmen (the movie o b v i o u s l y). There are probably many i don't know, some i forget and of course, i leave out all the cemodic approach anime.
I don't want to stick around the point for any longer. But it is essential bc it is the reason some of the top comments just wont get in my head. How can one even COMPARE this anime to Saiki when it's approch is completely differen??
So now i just want to spill out a couple of amazing or a bit bugging things about the show in some flow without major reasoning about them or so:
the characters are decent which is even better for the climax, the audio is .. weird at best as it's often times not really ambient which jap anime seem to do a much better job at, the animations are too gorgeous - i could talk about some specific scenes which completely blew my mind as if it were a movie -, i very much enjoyed the kind of out of nowhere scientific approach the anime had from times to times (which further enhanced the serious aspect of the show and made even more.. close to the heart.. or feels.), the end feels weird in a way where you would expect a 2nd season but i very much doubt this shows has an even greater climax in store for us, the soundtrack is awesome but could be a bit less generic outside of the fight-scenes and last but not least i loved the anime but only after the 14th episode which can either mean that it was all the more great story telling (my opinion and.. pretty much indubitable) or you could make the point that it's maybe a bad thing because some of the audience might've dropped at that point.
If you red this all.. wow. I just wish one could comment down below the reviews whichever you want to debate on.. but eh. This might reach someone. Have yourself a wonderful day or whatever time :D.

Generally I really like series that have an insanely OP lead, because they usually make for some cheap and simple entertainment. This show did the very opposite of entertaining me, and from my own experience I would give it a 3. However, I realised I watched a very shitty sub so, assuming the original version and other subs have coherent sentences, I'll raise that to a 5. On to the actual review. Story: 3 The idea is pretty good, but the execution is terrible. The story is completely filled with plot holes and irrational decisions just to move the story forward: Let's seal this defeated demon kingup under a school, yep that sounds like a great decision. Oh, and let's use him as an entrance exam! Great way to show how OP the MC is - but WHO THE FUCK would ever do that. A teacher of the opposing school almost killed a student who then literally disappears before their match in some kind of tournament? Sucks for you, guess that opposing school is going to win because that's definitely not something they'll be disqualified for, or the tournament will be cancelled for. Nope, the show must go on or our dumb plot wouldn't work out. There's a bunch more dumb shit like this, so if you're easily annoyed by randomly pushing the plot forward, you're in for a treat.
Characters: 4
The MC's main 'thing' is that he either doesn't want to or can't use his insane powers - which, IMO, is a weird call. The main attraction of a show with an OP lead is that character being badass - making him do nothing whenever he could do something to help is uhm, not a great way to make a likeable character.
Apart from this, character development isn't nonexistent. A total of 4 characters have some kind of character development (the side characters definitely don't). Some of this is decent, but there's so much irrational forced behaviour that it still doesn't deserve a passing grade. Especially when some girl completely falls in love because a dude touches her hair deserves an award in this category. No, I'm not talking a crush, she'd die for him. Yeahhhh, sure.
Art: 7
Nothing special, but definitely not bad either. I'm honestly not too good at ranking the art, but it didn't bother me.
Sound: 7
Personally, I am not used to Chinese yet, which made the sound somewhat annoying for me. Disregarding my very subjective opinion about that though, the sound is , just like the art, not bothersome but also nothing special.
Enjoyment: 4
At the end of the 13th episode I'd have given enjoyment a solid one, but the ending was actually pretty cool so it ended on a good note: +2. I also raised it with one more because I probably found the most infuriating sub there exists for this series.
Overal: 5
I definitely did not enjoy watching this series. If you're into OP characters, consider if one somewhat epic scene at the end is worth suffering through 14 episodes for. If you're not at all bothered by weird rationale and a plot that just does whatever, you might as well give this a shot. If you don't speak Chinese definitely do take your time to find a decent sub though...

I refuse to believe the people giving this good ratings are real, they have to be bots. I genuinely don't see how anyone could give this above a 4 and that is insanely generous. This show is literally just a way, way worse version of The Misfit of Demon King Academy, which is already bad. This dude literally just does the most op stuff imaginable, with garbage music playing and incredibly shoddy animation, and everyone around him just acts like their blind and ignores it??? It really makes no sense, the show has no merits. Even if you try and watch this show while skippingthrough until the fight scenes its bad. He's also got this girl whos obsessed with him for no reason besides wish fufillment... don't even get me started this show doesn't deserve a comprehensive breakdown. Even as a trash show you watch to kill time, I would not recommend it.

It looks mediocre to me. i thought this one gonna be better than mob 100 or something like this category but it doesnt. character feel mediocre. powerfull trying to be weak combining with weak story, weak enemies and silence unemotional attitude till 12 episode. They didnt explain detail each of the character, yeah they are trying to explain their spiritual power but.. it seems crowded. Yes you had spiritual power, you had spiritual pet ,and yet you need spiritual sword ? what is this harry potter ?. the action in this anime looks good but sometime looks meh. character when doin expression/dub seems not syncenough with the animation.
the only anime that i like chinese. Quan Zhi Gao Shou.

If you've ever read any of my anime reviews, you'll know how they usually go. But this one is gonna be slightly different. Kinda because of how bad it was, and kinda because I am lazy. The main problem with this anime lies in the animation, the plot devices, and the characters. Which is basically the whole anime. If you don't know the gist of this anime, its basically the OP MC genre. And I've watched hella OP MC anime. I enjoy OP MC anime. But this particular anime really just doesn't offer anything story wise. So lets go through that. 1. Plot devices- Themain plot device, and one that I hate after watching this, is the MC's forgetting art which basically forces the people around him to completely forget that he is extremely OP. However, while this provides some logical backing to the other characters not seeing how OP he is, it really is infuriating that the MC has to do this, essentially making every plot movement redundant and as if it never happened. Without any movement, the story doesn't go anywhere and you get an extremely boring story. Even in other generic OP MC anime there's some form of plot advancement, usually centered around the OP MC slowly being recognized as overpowered. However, with this forgetting art plot device, there is none of that in this particular anime. Which for me constitutes a huge problem in how the story is allowed to flow: its basically not.
2. Characters: The characters themselves are also relatively bland, and the MC himself is a prime example of this. The fact that he has to keep his powers sealed (despite them leaking out) makes for a very poor character as there is again, no movement with his character. The supporting cast is entirely static, or makes little progress in terms of character. The MC himself is also poorly done, a completely nihilistic and unlikeable MC.
3. Art: although the art is relatively good, the colors sound (albeit slightly bland), the animation and action scenes are sparse and poorly done. One thing with OP MC anime is that they do get carried by the animation and really good fight scenes because OP MC anime already have pretty basic storylines, thus they have to appeal to the audience in different ways. And of course, one of the things people like to see with these types of anime is how the MC is going to smack down his opponents. However, there is almost none of that in this story, which leaves the audience feeling empty without it and makes the story visually boring.
Other notes:
- The music is good, nothing to write home about though.
- The world-building is pretty good though, the city and the back story is good.
- the fourth wall breaking humor, although slightly overdone, is not too bad and is relatively good taste.
- This anime is done completely in Chinese, and as someone who speaks Chinese, this didn't bother me in the slightest. However, worth noting if you're expecting JP language.
- This was so unenjoyable in fact, that i watched this in 1.5x for about 10 episodes. unfortunate for someone who really does enjoy the OP MC genre.
OVERALL: 4
Grading this, it would be 2 for world building +1 for art and + 1 for comedy for a total score of 4.
I would avoid this anime, or at the very least be very apprehensive about trying it. It does hook you in well, but after the 2nd episode it does nosedive in quality and enjoyment.

To begin with, I rarely write reviews but i write it honestly. And now I will say that this is my first Chinese work in the form of an anime and I will say that I was disappointed in this anime. Firstly. Everything is very superficially told. Not properly revealed the main character, how did he become like this, how did he develop his strength? It's the same with the rest of the characters. Their story is told only by small ones and for the stretching of the series, otherwise I do not see. Now about the universe. It's a shame. The whole plot takes place inonly 1 country, I would even say 2 or 3 cities, and these same cities are limited to only one school and a house.
I could not enjoy this piece, because after 3 episodes I started to skip empty scenes. And yes plot holes. There are many of them and with each episode they are filled even more.
Anime for 1 time and then if you like everyday life with a little of humor. And I put a solid 4 points. (At least there will be 1 anime that will deserve 10 points or even 9?... Hmm.) From me everything.

Just watch it to ep 14, that's all I will say. The ep 14 will make you LOVE this series! This is one of if not the best Chinese anime out there. The story might not look like it have anything of values, or look like typical op mc go to school bla bla bla, but later in to it, the more and more lore are in this series and it's kinda good. The comedy is also really good and refreshing, it have a unique style to it comedy I will say, that aren't the same with Japanese comedy. Like I said above, ep 14 isa BIG turning point in the show, won't spoil anything much here, but I will say it alone make this show went up from 8 to 10 for me. The animation is also really really good, top of the line for Chinese anime for sure, I will say it's on par with MAPPA and Madhouse level, but a bit behind ufotable.

The most Re****ed anime of the all time. F****ng waste of time. If you wan’t to get frustrated every episode of what u are watching the please be my guest and watch this shitty show. Otherwise stay away. MC is just plain stupid.🤮 Story: The start is a bit interesting but starts to show the author's lack of any sort of talent when it comes to story telling around mid episode. Every story wants you to question what the f is going on in the storyline. The MC's power are only convenient when it wants to and most of the time wants you to question howthis garbage was even animated.
Animation:
The only good thing working for this anime is the animation. The animators did a really good job for this poor excuse of a story.
I have watched almost all of the anime ever released and this is the first time I have despised anything related to anime or manga. This anime made create this account just so I can post this review so people can stay away from this garbage.

Don't get me wrong, I seriously tried to like this anime. I wanted to enjoy it. But, I couldn't. Watching this anime made me feel pain and confusion all together. The first couple episodes were honestly not bad. It wasn't until they decided to try and make a plot. The plot of this show made no sense at all. I was trying to follow along but it felt like stuff was just happening to happen. Once I got to episode 8 I was near tempted to drop the show in its entirety. Not only did the plot make no sense, but the subtitles were also veryoff. For someone who doesn't speak the language, subtitles are the only thing I have for the show. And the fansubtitles were TERRIBLE. There were times they would say stuff and I had to try to understand how it correlates to the plot. But it never worked. Sometimes I would just watch the animation instead of reading the subs because they never were useful.
I honestly couldn't tell if the subtitles of the show made it bad or if the attempted plot in general made it bad. I would have preferred if they just did random stuff each episode instead of a garbage story. For being considered an "18 minute show" boy did those episodes drag with pointless scenes. Every episode felt near 45 minutes, when I would see if I was near the end of the episode it always disappointed me to see I was only like 6 minutes in.
In the end, Xian Wang de Richang Shenghuo did actually make me laugh a couple times and had a pretty good opening. But, I can 100% say that it was not worth the watch. The fact that it also was 15 episodes instead of 12 makes me sad. The story of the show completely ruined it along with the dreadful subs. I wish I could take back my time to have completed a different show.

this is my first review on an anime, and this i what i gotta to say about it. this chinese anime it can be very enjoyible, only for people who just love watching anime for the fun, and want to waste some time. it's a goofy anime with some good jokes and quike paced and even some romance, i can't really recomand this to critics. the story is simple but very rushsed the comady can either be a hit or miss, there is not really any character develpment, there are alot of plot holes in the story. but even tho with these flaws it canbe a very enjoyeble anime it tought me that being with good people can change you for the better .overal you should just give it a try, it's not the best anime or or the worse anime, i can see that the producers loved making this anime and that's what count the most to me.

I don't understand why so many people view this donghua as a ripoff of Saiki K. While there may be a few parallels both shows take a completely different approach to storytelling. While Saiki is one of my favorites, and a hilarious episodic anime that gradually develops its characters, Xian Wang de Richang Shenghuo focuses more on drama, emotions, and the fighting aspect of its xianxia genre. I am certainly not accustomed with cultivation and chinese mythology, but I still found this donghua to be enjoyable. STORY: The entire story feels relatively drawn out of context. Especially the introduction and relationship of the male opmc (Wang Ling), and the lead female (Sun Rong) is rushed. Even though nearly all events are highly exaggerated and not quite plausible, when not knowing about the antagonists' motivations, they are still presented well. I like the producer's humor and the comedic elements of the show as they add to the story. And while those gags could never hold up to Saiki, they are still valid and pulled off fairly good.
Nonetheless, the viewer has to deal with a lot of plotholes, and a lack of development as the show rather focuses on portraying how stuff happens, than why it does. 4,5/10
ART/ANIMATION: Generally nothing special, but they did justice to the fight scenes, as those were visually stunning. (Ex. Ep14) 7/10
SOUND: The OP has grown on me, idk about the ED.. the sound design is good though. 7/10
In conclusion, this show is still watchable, even without profound characters or a coherent story. 6/10

Overpowered hero Shounen that hides his power and is underestimated by peers and everyone around him. The set up and world is good but the series lacked a soul. The show hits typical shounen tropes: special main character with world destroying powers; powers supressed by a seal; gains friends that changes his outlook; school battle arc. As the main character has to supress his emotions to supress his powers, it's hard to root or even find him likeable. You don't feel a connection with the other characters either. You also don't get a sense of a story as events just kind of happen. The inconsistenciesstops you from feeling invested and it's hard buy the bond or friendship that is supposed to develop between the characters. The characters just all feel a bit wishy-washy and underdeveloped.
That is until the last few episodes when it does get good. But it all feels too late.
The rules of the world are also a bit unclear and not as well defined as other shounens. The animation is decent, but the sound and music mix is off.
The pacing is slow and low energy most of the time. As a result, it just feels soulless.

I would recommend watching this show if you like Konosuba. Just be prepared for the horrendous fan subs. I stumbled upon this show as an instragram video of all things. It was some small scene from the show that just seemed cool, so I threw it on my ptw. Turns out my internet was being funky and it ended up on watching instead. I thought "whatever I'll watch it," and I am glad I did. This show is a unique mix of action & comedy that can only be compared to konosuba. The humor in this show is more subtle, and you have to know alittle about China and Chinese proverbs to catch most of it, but it is there and it is good.
The story and characters could use some fleshing out, but take it as the satirical action comedy it is and you can overlook where it is lacking.
The action is pretty good (especially towards the end when there is less satire involved).
The art and animation is solid.
Quality-wise the voice acting is good (I say this this way because I do not like Chinese voice actors as much as Japanese ones).
The OP and ED do not fit the show, but overall the music is the right beat at the right time.
It is a shame that this show is fan subbed and does not have quality subs yet because that is the killer for this show. I think this show would be a solid 6 or 7 if not for the absolutely trash fan subs. Maybe one day we can get some licensed subs and I can come back and give the show the rating it deserves.

Let me first start off by saying not all Chinese anime are bad. But this was one of them. When I read the synopsis, I was expecting a somewhat overpowered MC who was just trying to be low key but what you get is something a little different. AND when they said "cultivation," I was actually expecting to see some cultivation stuff like in Doulu Dalu, Tales of Demons and Gods, or even Reikenzen but nada! Although they did have 1 scene that could be said to be related to cultivation but it was barely there one moment and gone the next never to be touchedupon again.
The story was a bit bland but I did laugh a few times here and there. The characters seem very meh in my opinion. I wasn't really attached to any of them although I can say I hated the main female lead cause she just annoys me.
This anime had soooo much potential to be amazing but sadly, it wasn't realized.

“The Daily Life of The Immortal King” this title describes the anime perfectly, it walks you through the main protagonist’s daily life and it is Boring! Starting with what was good about this series. The animation, Haoliners Animation pulled out all the stops on some of the scenes. Most of the anime looks really good. The action is really smooth and the visuals are incredible. It was pretty much the only thing that got me to power through. The story is not interesting in the slightest, it starts by introducing this massively overpowered character and then proceeds to follow him around whilst he holds back his powerand keeps it a secret from everyone else he meets. None of the characters have any depth and because of this half the series is just the writers jumping back and forward into the overly rushed backstories. The comedy is massively forced, and it feels like almost every character attempts some form of comic relief at some point in the anime.
The plot felt pointless, there were some problems that could’ve been solved in a much quicker and easier way that it was painful to watch the characters taking it a really long round-a-bout way to achieve the same outcome and that’s just not enjoyable.
The sound and music choices for the anime were okay, nothing really stood out but that’s also nothing to complain about. I suppose in a way that fit with the theme of this series.
While I didn’t enjoy the story. I can’t deny the interesting world building of this anime. The fantasy and mythology side of it was what kept me watching, spiritual swords, demons and cultivation powers. That’s the difference that the Chinese anime brings to the table and it was slightly entertaining. But not enough to get more than a score of 3 out of me and I was not convinced to watch the second season.
UndefinedDes
this anime is a total rip off of Saiki kusuo, overpowered MC whos' trying to live an average life, both have power restriction (kusuo has those ball on the head made by his brother while here he has talisman made by his cousin) both hide their powers, both like to eat 1 thing (kusuo pudding - this guy noddles) I still enjoyed the series, the ending was bad but thanks to it I won't miss this series overall 5 story 4 Art 6 (animation was poor very often but I liked the style) sound 5 character 6 (coz rip off) welp if u didn't watch saiki and u likedthis one, definitely try the other one, u won't be disapointed

This ONA is generally stupid. Really stupid. But it was funny. Although some parts of the show were cringe and so gruesome to watch, the comedy in other parts made up for it. If you are someone who enjoys stupid random comedy, this is your go-to. I haven’t had a good laugh in a while. The last few episodes of this ONA, a Chinese anime, stood out to me. I believe the last few eps were what saved this ONA. Without them, this show would have been bad, really bad. The first few eps were the same cliche bullshit. An overpowered emotionless student who isliterally god-like, with all the dudes and girls looking up to him. But there is a reason he is this way — which will be told towards the end of the show. This show has hints of romance, and hints of a yandere female character. Yes, Yuno fans, there is a “yandere” here.
It is obvious that this anime was rushed. The last few eps had too much happening — the pacing was way too fast. Anyone who knows about anime can tell that the budget from the anime makers was low. But I don’t blame the producers who are definitely not a large animation corporation.
SUBTITLES (BAD): The subtitles were way off; as someone who is fluent in both Mandarin and English, there were a lot of errors in the english sub. For example, wrong grammar, misleading translations, and even misgendering the characters. They keep calling the female protagonist a goddamn “he”. Other times, there weren't even subtitles at all.
ART/ANIMATION (GOOD): The art style looks relatively fancy. The characters are well drawn and the surrounding is good. But DAMN the last few eps looked like the anime “The Garden of Words” in some scenes (watch in 1080p). The animators really put an effort to include shadows and make the world seem more 3D. The art style was good but the characters and fight scenes were sometimes way too childish and low-effort.
“Forgive me, Father. I didn’t become as strong as you hoped. But I’ve found my motivation to get stronger!” - my favorite quote from this.
I recommend you watch this anime if you just want a stupid laugh in the first few eps. The last eps are where shit really happens. For now, I'll give an overall score of 7 - Good. They need to slow their pacing, and try to avoid cliches, and INCLUDE MORE COMEDY.
I’m excited for season 2. Hopefully they can fix the subtitles this time.
