The foundation of this series is strong but there are severe cracks that begin to spread throughout. The characters and the backstory are intriguing and I enjoyed the development of the relationships of our main characters. I have watched many Xianxia dramas and this one is mid-level as it does not employ any deep plot themes and the character's actions do not support their supposed positions or status within their respective realms. It isn't necessarily a fluff piece, but it isn't of substance either. If you are looking for better writing, more intricate plots then I'd recommend something like Love & Redemption or The Mysterious Lotus Casebook. In Last Immortal there is only one strategist who is on the Devil side and all others are simply falling into line within this villain character. There is no counter to any ploys. There is no follow up to any mysteries/scheming, and they just confound to the point of chaos and confusion where I myself question if anyone has any wisdom at all. The elders don't even question anything - so there is no hierarchy within this show based on hierarchies of Immortal, Demon, Devil, True God. I say the writing is the culprit because we have all the ingredients for a 10/10 show but the infuriating way the writers took it detracts so much from the story. There are no character arcs that have any depth. So if you want a surface level Xianxia then this one has a good story line of friendship and the lessons seem to be about people pleasing and the costs of not listening to your own truth. There isn't really a lot of adventure, and so hopefully you enjoy a bit of politics. Overall good but could have been much better and the poor development made me write the review - not the enjoy-ability which speaks volumes.
