Reviews for Wo Qi Ku Le Baiwan Xiulian Zhe
Back to AnimeThis show is actually dreadful. The fact that this got made is frankly absurd. So let's break it down. The MC get's sent back to some weird psuedo-ancient china after getting blood on his smart phone. He takes over the body of a useless noble and get's a system (who is later personified as a "Cruel Loli" and I am quoting the characters directly). The system lets the MC get more powerful when he upsets someone else. This allows him to just become the most powerful person on the planet (except his dad, but we'll get to that). The MC himself is just obnoxious, butnot in a funny way. Instead, we get a "This is an asshole who is just coasting through life for the sole reason that the script needed him to do so" kind of of way.
The MC's father is a much more interesting character, and I would maybe watch a show about him, but not MC.
Furthermore, the art is just horrific. Assets are constantly recycled. Background characters ALL MOVE IN SYNC enough times to not be a suprise.
The writing is just so totally uninteresting that it got to the point it wasn't even funny to make fun of it anymore.
The story itself is just nonsense. Nothing really happens other than the MC and his brother seeing something and doing 1 of 2 things.
Option 1: Be oddly cruel to some random character for no reason. Like, he just tortures people and forces them essentially into slavery, and the show is just like "look at how cool and funny MC is". And it's not just for Anger Points either, sometimes he just makes fun of disabled people who don't even give him AP. He's just cruel.
Option 2: A painfully drawn out and boring fight. The animation is slow, terrible, the effects are essentially just JPEGS smashing into each other as they fly around.
I will give you a visual summary of every single fight. Some characters square up, MC says something obnoxious that the show alone thinks is funny (except when he admits he "no longer lusts after toads" after meeting someone, that was funny). Then MC and whoever is one his side throws hand, moon, and Yin-Yang JPEGS at the enemy, as the enemy summons the same fucking gate model to summon some other bullshit JPEG back. Eventually the MC and Co will have their JPEG smash into the opponent and they will win. That's it. You can now go and watch something else, I've given you the whole show.
A brief note on the sound of this show. It adds random annoying sound effects that sound like it's from one of those shitty youtube videos that targets children, but to everyone who isn't a child it's just annoying. And the voiceactors just randomly walk outside of the recording studio or some shit because out of nowhere the audio for the voiceactors just drops hard. Add to that pretty much all the sound effects are stock sound effects I bet you could find on a royalty-free soundboard, I can safely say that it is certainly not worth much (if any) praise.
If you are looking for something good to watch in the Cultivation genre that's similar to this but done well, watch Soul Land. It's pretty, the fights are good, and the MC isn't just the worst person to watch exist.
If you are looking for something more serious, Record of a Mortal's Journey has been really good. I'm not done with it yet, but what I've seen is just great.
If you are looking for something bad to watch to make fun of or just marvel in it's terrible glory, watch My Cultivator Girlfriend. It is so bad it is hillarious. I really can't recomend that one enough.
TLDR: Don't bother with this one, it's funny to make fun of for 30 episodes if you stretch, then it becomes so redundent that's not even fun anymore. If you are looking for anything other than that, look elsewhere for much better shows.
I can just say that this is awesome. Don't go on the false reviews just watch it. It amazing and the story gets better as the anime proceeds .after watching it I can really appreciate the anime. Like how he makes people angry that really interesting and new. I have watched 35 episodes till now as only till here is aired now. I don't know about anyone but I found it very satisfying and entertaining. It's hilarious as well as interesting. I think it obviously deserves above 7 rating on mal. So just watch it you won't regret it. The story of this anime is very uniqueas well as entertaining. Like how has to make people angry to increase his cultivation. It's always great to see him make people angry.
I upset millions of cultivators follows Jiangbei after he reincarnates from the 21st century into an Ancient Chinese setting. What follows with him in this new world is a virtual assistant user interface that tracks all Jiangbei's properties (physical health, psychological health) including his combat skills and anger points. Jiangbei is reborn into a useless son of one of 3 powerful families in his City. The person he reincarnated to most likely died because he overworked in cultivation and couldn't progress. However, this new cultivation system is governed by anger points - which increases every time Jiangbei pisses someone off and the more powerful theperson the more points he receives (example: family patriarchs/cultivation masters). He uses this to the best of his ability by spending his reincarnated life at a leisurely pace by disrupting the order in his City which pisses his family and the other noble families off. He also seduces the Princess with his poetry from the modern world.
Story: 5/10
I upset millions of cultivators feels like a blatant copy of Metropolitan System, it even has the same MC (Jiang Bai) and same virtual assistant UI except the reincarnated world isn't a parallel modern world but instead Ancient Chinese. The story is bland and uneventful, there isn't much progression because every time Jiangbei is in trouble either his father, older brother or Martial Master intervene to save him. Examples are when the Princess' guards fight Jiangbei and his brother steps in to protect him (his older brother is several stages higher than everyone or when Jiangbei fights one of the noble family patriarchs and his father and Martial Master secretly protect him) At this rate, I doubt we'll get any interesting content out of this series despite it first showing great potential being a cultivation series with a unique twist.
Art & Sound: 6/10
The art quality is pretty good, the character rigging and scenes aren't the flashy.
Sound is ok.
Character: 5/10
There isn't much character progression. The story only centers around Jiangbei's family, the other 2 noble families and the Princess at this stage. It would be nice to see some real conflict that Jiangbei can solve on his own with his virtual assistant UI though.
This was an incredibly funny anime in my opinion. I thought that this was gonna be a bad anime until I got to the 3rd episode and my whole mood made a 180. I really recommend this anime to people who love animes based on the main character needing to make others angry (in a funny way). There's really nothing more to add or else I would be pretty much spoiling the anime. If you like animes where the main character is really cocky in order to get strong, this is your choice. Most other donghuas make the main character cocky for no reason and thecockiness of the main character gets more dirt put on his name.
I have not read the source material so this review is based exclusively on the donghua. I Upset Millions of Cultivators breathes fresh air into the Chinese cultivation genre with its focus on comedy. The story begins with Jiangbei being isekai'd from a modern world into a traditional cultivation one like Great Doctor Miss Nine but with a unique cultivation system that's exclusive to the protagonist. Jiangbei is rewarded with experience points that can be used to level up, learn new abilities, and forge powerful weapons by simply pissing people off so in the first 30 episodes or so we see him purposely getting under everyone'sskin so he can rack up points to become OP which leads him to become one of the strongest cultivators in his country (he eventually leaves and is no longer as OP but he still wins every confrontation).
The uniqueness of this show is great but for whatever reason it takes a turn for the worst when the showrunners start leaning towards a more serious style in which the worldbuilding and overall lore becomes more fleshed out. Normally, this would be seen by many as a good thing but this ridiculous-to-serious transition creates a jarring contrast in tones that doesn't seem to be reconciled very well. The overall plot of the show is confusing to follow and seems to be arbitrarily made up episode-by-episode. The characters also maintain the same shallowness you would see in a slapstick comedy. Again, normally this would be fine if the tone remained the same as the first 30 episodes but now that it doesn't, the series really doesn't have any selling points worth mentioning as its now is clashing with itself.
I'm giving it a 4/10 as of episode 57. If the show maintained its style from the first 30 episodes, I would probably give it a 6.
