The Legend of Yang Chen · review
Its ok. For a progression fantasy series its pretty standard stuff and the plot is similar to a lot of manhua I've read. The pacing is lightning fast, this first arc takes place over about 4 months. A lot of things are not explained, like when the mc is suddenly able to ride a sword despite never learning (or mentioned learning) before. He uses mythical tools to save the people around him, despite being a novice cultivator. So it doesn't really seem like the mc earned all the power he has by the end of the season. Also the women in the series are clearlyarchetypes that only ever have conversations with the mc, they don't have unique personalities. The writing is... not good and the characters are bland happy go lucky heroes (or villains bent on revenge).
I do think this style of 3D animation has gotten better over the last few years. The faces of different characters are more recognizable, and the expressions are clearer. Also the textures of the clothing are fun to see. The poses and movements are still awkward but its like that for this whole subgenre.
TLDR its watchable but there are better ways to spend 5 hours of your time.
