    I just found this on Netflix.

    So far, it is a cultivation/immortal story as you would expect like desolate era and some others that I can’t remember.....
    You will hear/read about spiritual roots and golden core....
    It’s about a young man joining a sect and he goes through the entrance exams but with a twist..... it’s a comedy and it works!!!!

    This is a guess since I have just started but...
    I think the MC is a reincarnation/transmigration. He talks in gaming terms as the story progresses. The sect elders aren’t the dour type but a bunch of funny beings though they do what they should.

    The funny moments flow in and out without it feeling like they just threw a gag in there. It doesn’t break the story flow.

    Watching this feels like reading a cultivation novel on screen. This flows just like a cultivation novel and it’s the first show that I felt that way.
    It’s very fun to watch. Just had to throw this out and let’s see what others think about this show.

    i wouldn’t mind seeing more of this type of tv shows.

    Haven't watched it yet, but it's from the novel Once Upon A Time, There Was A Spirit Sword Mountain. So it's probably why you feel like it's a novel.

    Pretty sure Ive watched the anime, the S1 is pretty awesome, especially the later parts.

    By TV you mean live action ?

    The novel is amazing. In my top favorites.
    You will miss out a lot if you can't read his internal narration.

    Ahhh.... i know that novel. I bypassed it after reading the reviews..... didn’t think it was a comedy. I guess I’ll try the manhua version first. One spoiler kinda got me to not want to read.... it reminded me of a very stupid Japanese story.... the vrmmo armor series....

    ...so the cartoon is out?

    Or did Netflix finally make a live-action TV adapt and gave the MC role to someone who does not remotely look like a chinese?

    Actually, Netflix has been making the moves/series in their home countries so you won’t run into what your thinking. This is a drama and it looks like it is a new one out in china, not all episodes are available. It’s gonna be available through next month so done around the end of December. I think it aired this month.
