Way of Storytelling kills dynamic Flow
The idea of FEUD might be interesting - the way the story is told isn't.Everytime when the setting develops some thrill and dynamic, it's interrupted by a time swap, e.g. to the boring daily life in the mortal world.
Another weakness of FEUD is that a great actress Bai Lu is paired with a male actor that's good in playing a little kid's mind (last episodes) but fails in playing a divine being.
Overall this drama was disappointing and the weakest Chinese fantasy I've seen so far.

The "only main characters" show
This series is quite special in many aspects and already one of my favourite fantasy stories. Aspects, that makes it special are:- it starts with a dynamic, fight focused storyline
- all characters feel like main characters and have very popular actors who have a great, impressive chemistry (they represent their roles in a way that you can forget they're just actors and not real magical beings)
- many unexpected plot twists
- great costumes and nice special effects
- beautiful songs
The only negative aspect is that sometimes the background music is annoying and not as nice as it is in other series.

The story would deserve 45 minutes/episode
The storyidea is interesting and something new for Chinese series. The lead actors are great and bring their characters to life.[Note: It might happen that you watch a version without OST/just some acapella singing, which is a bit sad for Western fans who like Chinese soundtracks.]
The background of the virtual world/humans is not explained which creates a feeling of being lost in an unknown realm.
It's really sad that this story didn't get more screenplaytime. I think it'll be great then.
Overall it's worth watching because of great actors and some new plot ideas. (It's best to watch it as if it's a movie and not a series because movies usually are similar short and less detailed than Chinese series).
