Mo Dao Zu Shi: The Founder of Diabolism

Mo Dao Zu Shi: The Founder of Diabolism (2018)

My rating: 2.5 of 5 stars


I remember starting this series several years ago, but am unable to recall if I ever finished it, and doubtful I had watched the following seasons continuing the story. It has since been recommended multiple times in the original light normal format, and now has a color manhua release as well, lending to the series popularity. With all of this combined, and my daughter's own interest, it seemed time to pick this story back up again. The story itself is a little difficult to follow as it is very complex and pulls many clans together. In reality, the story mostly follows Wei Wuxian as he rediscovers life and the new trials of the cultivation clans. Perhaps reading the novels would give a clearer understanding, especially as the start of season 2 appears to take us back to the beginning of the original series, so it is difficult to tell if it is truly a continuation, a different point of view, or something else entirely at this stage.
