Li Changshou, a disciple of Xiaogong Peak's Master Qi Yuan regresses 200 years into the past after a catastrophic event occurs that puts Duxian into a state of disarray. Terrified with the loss Li Changshou becomes motivated to cultivate to the realm of immortality along with his Master Qi Yuan as soon as possible in order to be prepared for the impending doom. Will their preparations be enough or will the catastrophe swallow them up a second time? Story & Character: 6/10 The story of 'My Brother is too steady' does well in building an expansive world with a deep lore from the beginning. We start offwith an interesting hook about the remains of an evil faction lurking in the shadow while the righteous peaks partake in their own affairs oblivious. The story is interesting and I'm sure that there is a lot of potential world building in the works but as it stands now it lacks depth in many fundamental plot elements. The two main arcs that start and end the season feel very lacklustre mainly due to their lack of importance or contribution to the narrative. Conflict is bound to happen but it felt meaningless where a coup is staged and a tournament between species occurred. I was expecting an ease in and maintain a pacing that allowed for better exploration of the world but also at a rate that was comprehensible; In this series new lore is thrown left and right but isn't elaborated on in depth in any way.

Characters were enjoyable and developed well throughout the series. Although they are introduced almost as abruptly as the story, they feel organic in terms of interaction with each other and had their own personalities. Characters that you'd expect to be stoic and reserved are shy yet playful; Likewise characters who are young are actually old and old are actually young it throws me off in a good way. The chibi comedy adds a lot to the character's demeanors too and are a fun addition to the series. As for the antagonists, we haven't seen any clear faction pop up beyond what's already been established as characters but I can expect to see a faction or two in opposition of the Duxian like we see in the concluding arc.

Art & Sound: 7/10 & 6/10
The art is of good quality and textures are clear, in some close ups you can see wrinkles in Li Changshou's fists. The clothes and hair have physics so they are animated and the particle density during many scenes are high. I enjoyed the chibi designs since they had a better effect on the comedy despite it being CGI, I think it worked better than 2D. The battle/sword aura animation and lighting in general were high quality as expected of Sparkly Key Animation Studio. I think a lot of the fight scenes could've had better angles and shot choreography, many of the shots were too wide for immersive action. Some of the character rigging felt very rough and you can tell especially in the smaller actions like moving arms or small head movements.

The sound is passable; Voice acting and sound effects were of decent quality. There is a good use of effective music and sound effects for comedic effect but beyond that there wasn't much explorative or extraordinary.

Overall & Enjoyment: 6/10
I personally enjoyed the series for its shift of focus being on its characters not just the main character. I do wish the main character Li Changshou would be more greedy and focus on his own circumstances but he chooses to put others before himself in many situations; Furthermore he is a very safe character which makes altercations fairly anticlimactic. The events also aren't anything new in terms of the typical donghua with tournaments and disciple missions being the norm in usual martial arts stories. However, overall I think this series is worth the watch.
