Plot went on vacation in the middle and never came back…

First of all, let me start with the great points of this series.
1. Cinematography
2. Action Scenes (in the first half)
3. Acting…. Sure..

That’s kinda all that I can give on for now. Definitely not something I would rewatch. What hooked me on to the series was the BGM ngl. The plot…. OOO BOY let’s get into it.

So first it’s kinda explained that there are 2 obvious foxes who are ‘thousand years old’ and they smart and shit and then the demon hunters, one who SEEMS to be male lead and the other who SEEMS to be the second lead characters…. The OG ML is also portrayed strong and not easily trusting yet kind… contradicting but okay i took it at face value. Through out the plot it’s interesting cause their missions or objective of these characters keep aligning and each character doesn’t always stay on the same side.
It’s when they try to fight the sand demon and enter into like a mirror dimension, AND EVEN THEN, it’s okay. The story inside that mirror dimension is quite interesting and all BUT it kinda irked me on the OUTSIDE of this mirror dimension that exists inside that stone, where some side characters try to keep this ummm ‘stone’ from breaking, IT GOT ME LAUGHING BRO IT’S RIDICULOUS, no matter how much you wanna throw logic out the window…
They say the mirror dimension works on a different time space so the time outside might not be much while the time inside could be 50 years (this is when a lot of feelings develop understandable), but the guy who is keeping this thing alive is using a lot of energy and THIS OTHER GUY JUST STARESSSSS HAHAHAHAH he just LOOKS HAHAHAH omg and this WEASEL,,, TOOKA DAY TO GO AND GET SOME TOOL FROM HIS HOMETOWN AND MY OTHER GUY WAS STILL STARING HAHAHA

Anyway after this is when the plot decides to take a permanent vacation cause wtf… from this point you don’t know who is the ML and who are the side character and who is the villain in this big “plot” cause my DRAGON DEITY LOVES SINGLE TEAR SCENES it’s almost in every episode at least once, the ‘thousand year smart old foxes’ are suddenly sad and just ‘omg how could this happen,,, i mean i still know a lot but i don’t know why this is happening’. We see more of Ji Ling and Lu Wuxi and honestly heartbreaking but like WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING??? Out of no where there is TIMETRAVEL and new identities at the last min and THE WEASEL FALLS IN LOVE in the middle and umm THE DEMON IS EVERYWHERE APPARENTLY?

And there’s this battle of ‘no I’m going to sacrifice,,, no me,,, no me i would give life for you,,,nooo let me sacrifice myself insteaddd” moments and then an anti -climatic demon battle WHERE THERE ARE FIVE OR MORE HEROIC CHARACTERS AND ONE DEMON. ONE. They defeat the OG demon body in one shot. Then the demon shift into Lu Wuyi and THE DEMON DETROYS THE OG ML IN ONE HIT and it takes SEVERAL HITS for them to WOUND HER WHEN SHE NOT EVEN MOVING FFS AIWUEFBAWIF, at this point Ji Ling is confirmed dead. BUT THEY BRING HIM BACK ALIVE TO STOP ONE DEMON (and i say this is ridiculous cause they have to travel SO FAR AND COME BACK AND THESE GUYS ONLY MANAGE,, ONEEEE MF HIT ON THE DEMON LIKE BROTHER SHE NOT EVEN MOVING THERE ISNT EVEN A TALK NO JUTSUGOIGN ON HERE THEY JUST HAVING A BLOOD SPITTING MOMENT AND THEN SOME HERIOC DIALOGUE BEFORE THEY HIT A NON MOVING DEMON,,, and then JILING who ISNT EVEN THE OG ML COMES TO SAVE THE DAY WHEN HE’S NOT EVEN THE ALMIGHTY DRAGON DEITY WHAT DO YOU MEANNNNNN HAHAHAHAHHHAHA

And then boom everybody comes back to life and everybody dies and comes back to life AGAIN AFTER THEY TIME TRAVEL AGAIN.

I don’t know what i watched ngl.
