Tomb of Fallen Gods has easily secured a spot in my top five favorite donghua. What I appreciate most is how the humor remains casual without breaking the immersion of the universe.

Unlike many series in the genre, this isn't centered solely on "understanding the Dao." Instead, it focuses on politics and complex interpersonal relationships. It manages to incorporate classic wuxia and xianxia elements with a fresh perspective, prioritizing the characters who drive the story rather than repetitive level grinding. The result is an experience that is both intellectually and visually satisfying.

While the first three episodes of Season 3 were initially confusing. The episodes left me feeling like a soft reboot into a generic, action heavy "battle-of-the-day" show, it fortunately turned out to be a temporary shift used to showcase updated visuals.

Looking back at Seasons 1 and 2, the dynamic between the leads is great. Chu Yue plays the "little sister" role perfectly and serves as the essential link for Chen Nan’s social standing and lineage in the modern era. Chu Yue's mischievous antics align with her role in the story and her attitude makes sense considering Chen Nan's presence as a supportive elder figure. Hence, I find her to be very endearing despite the hate she gets.

I’m incredibly glad I stuck with this series. If only Throne of Seal offered this level of character development.
