Douluo Dalu

Tang San is one of Tang Sect martial art clan's most prestigious disciples and peerless in the use of hidden weapons. With high expectations, the sect's elders believe his future will be bright; yet Tang chooses to forsake this life at the cost of obtaining the sect's forbidden lore—an action punishable by death. Tang, now content with his ascension of knowledge, sees no reason to keep on living and jumps from Hell's Peak, but little did he know that that would not be the end of his existence.

In Douluo Continent, the strong prevail and the weak perish. Each person possesses an innate spirit, some of which can be cultivated and strengthened, bestowing its user with various benefits. Those who were born with such spirits can become Spirit Masters, a profession regarded as one of the continent's most noble.

Tang, reincarnated into this strange world, knows only the life of a blacksmith's son. At the age of six, he takes part in the Spirit Master ceremony, and discovers his spirit is Blue Silver Grass—supposedly the world's most useless spirit. In contrast, however, he possesses strong spirit power. Now, aided by the memories of his previous life as well, Tang's future as a Spirit Master is in no way bleak.

This was my introduction into Donghua, and I don't want to go back. Basically, the series follows Tang San, a young soul master, as he navigates a world where strength is determined by one's spirit. The narrative is filled with twists and turns, and kept me captivated from the beginning to end. Given that it was my first donghua, I found that the quality was better than expected, and improved throughout the seasons. I also found the characters to be relatable, and each had their own distinct personalities and motivations. Tang San's growth and relationships with his companions are a highlight of the series. I ... also love a good one-woman man :) and since this had that, I went all in. So, if you are looking for fantasy, romance, friendships, this is a must-watch for you. While it may have some minor flaws, the overall experience is highly enjoyable

Mixed Feelings

If you haven’t watched this anime yet, don’t start it at all. Its rating fits an anime from seven years ago, when there weren’t many good options. Now there are much better choices. The story is extremely slow so much, so that the main story doesn’t even appear until around episode 70. The production quality of the first season is also very low.
The character development is extremely slow and filled with unnecessary dialogue. The storyline has lots of extra, irrelevant scenes so much, even the start of a simple fight in the entrance exam includes ten minutes of talking!

I started this show in 5th grade and now I'm a high schooler, I kept watching because it had some nice memories from when I was younger but after episode 213 I'm finally dropping the show.

the episodes are getting shorter and shorter, its becoming really tiring and no longer an enjoyable experience which is really upsetting considering how much I loved it as a kid. After about the first 100 episodes, it started to feel like a chore and by now the story feels pointless and repetitive.

the story has a lot of likable characters and it was really fun seeing these characters grow which ... was the primary reason why I even bothered to keep watching.

I'm not sure whether to recommend this donghua to anybody because I really did love it for a long time but now its just become a disappointment. the experience felt like biting into a really good apple that turned out to be completely rotten with worms on the other side once you got to it.
