Bathrobes (that's what I call all Chinese serials about cultivation). Typical anime about cultivation. (I try to look at them as much as possible to find good and worthy mentions). So typical that I could predict many moves (it seems that I am already an expert in this matter (actually not, because I still don’t understand the whole culture enough and I miss many things because of the translation)).

The plot is that he was strong, but his best friend betrayed him and actually met behind his back with his bride and she turned out to be a bitch and that's all, hatred for him, disgust, contempt, well, etc. He does not want to do as they want - they demanded some kind of sword, he did not give it away, but killed himself, and as a result, he was reborn 300 years later into the body of some kind of weakling. He began to pump his body, along the way helping his mother, who was close to the emperor, but wandered for 3 years in order to take a place in his harem, because she was the "first beauty" she returned with a baby, for which her family began to dislike her very much. And he had to rake up all this "idyll". It was funny enough to see that protagonist didn't always solve family problems the way I thought, ie. I didn’t just rely on my strength and straightforwardly bent my line, but made more long-term plans (apparently I didn’t get into the Chinese family cuisine too well).

But at one point after the "tournament arc" I became very bored and I predicted everything that would happen in the next dozen episodes (they last 5 minutes each) because there was "a place filled with power, for which countries fought for many years and lost many strong warriors "and they decided to just open it for a while and let the soldiers in there with a certain force and in limited numbers, so that they would increase their strength and "keep the balance" between the states. I've already seen this in Journey to Immortality, where it was staged much better and the reason for it and the competitive component was woven into it. Therefore, here it looked like just another "step" to make gg stronger.

Also, there was not a single worthy opponent so that it was immediately clear at what level everyone was striving. Everyone was stronger than the main character, not too much, and because of the weak gap, it was not clear that he was at the beginning of the path, which brought another dissonance.

If there were more various mechanics and explanations of his past, much more information about the sword that gave him a huge amount of power, then I probably would have watched to the end. But here I have a feeling that at any moment when the main character hits the wall, this magic sword will simply come to his aid and pull him from the bottom to a new peak. He doesn't want to worry about it at all.

I got bored on episode 49, so I put 5.5 \ 10 for diligence with the character of protagonist, his mother, beautiful girls and the question of who his dad is.
