Fox Spirit Matchmaker (Red-Moon Pact): Spoiler-Free Mini Review
3.1/10 Stars: The worst C-drama I have ever completed. Truly. The CGI was good, but everything else felt like I was being punked..

3.45/10 Stars: Ugh, Bella Naur. An unsatisfying conclusion to the most heinous trilogy in (my) existence.

When Destiny Brings the Demon: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
5/10 Stars: A romance centric Xianxia with a transmigrated FL played by an actress more suited for modern time... and Arthur Chen. It had potential, but I couldn't buy into the romance.

The Legends: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
5.2/10 Stars: A barely passable Wuxia/Xianxia hybrid with a romance that had good chemistry which was ultimately cancelled out by bland acting, choppy editing, and a plot that got bored with itself.

Feud: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6/10 Stars: A twisty, complex Xianxia whose story is wasted on a high school theatre level production, bland acting, and too many episodes. Put me in there coach, and I will paper mache a set worthy of the plot. I can't full heartedly recommend, but the story is good...It's just all the other things.

Back From the Brink: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6/10 Stars: A silly Xianxia that embraces absurdity over angst, in a somewhat bumpy, but fun ride that almost pushed me to the brink of dropping with its uneven pacing. However, it reeled me back in with the bewildering whimsy.

The Legend of Shen Li: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
3.1/5 Stars: A Xianxia that tells the same 6.2/10 Stars: A Xianxia that tells the same old story well, with a battle hardened FL who struggles to emote and a ML who considers love a taboo. Pacing is iffy and acting wasn't the strength, but there was good chemistry and production quality.

The Starry Love: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6.4/10 Stars: A cheesy Xianxia that subverted tropes and focused on sisterhood, but got lost in the episode count filled with repetitive storylines. Still worth a watch for fantasy lovers though.

Moonlit Reunion: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6.6/10 Stars: A campy Xianxia/Wuxia hybrid with epic side characters, demon hunting, and a Male Lead who phoned it in.

Love in Pavilion: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6.6/10 Stars: Ahh! A mediocre prequel to the Fox Spirit Matchmaker series that can (AND SHOULD) be watched as a standalone. It's the only good one of the three. Please spare yourselves from the others.

Love Game in Eastern Fantasy: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6.6/10 Stars: A pure fluff Xianxia Transmigration drama with beautiful costumes and a story leans too YOUNG... as in Toddler characters galore.
