I finally started BTTH and my mind is blown... WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS IN AMERICA?!?!?!?!??!?!

Discussion

FIRST OFF THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU THAT TOLD ME TO WATCH BTTH ORIGINS FIRST! YOU ALL ARE AMAZING!!!

Little history - I am competely new to the world of Anime/Donghua. I started watching Anime this year for content and and it's mostly been pretty bad tbh. Some are good, most are bad. I also post my reactions to the anime on YouTube and Tiktok and one day, someone commented suggesting and showing me a clip of BTTH.. All I knew at the time about Donghua was I loved Super Cube and Lord of the Mysteries, so I decided to give it a shot.

And my life forever feels changed HOLY SHITTTTT!!

FIRST OFF, WTF IS CULTIVATING!? I've noticed it mentioned a TON and I just imagined it was like "awakening" their Qi? (Which I've been pronouncing as Chi, so I hope i'm right).

Also, they're not really Brother and Sister right? They're a tad closer than a normal Sibling would be. I'm assuming Xiao is the family name? Or Surname, thus they're not actually blood related, just part of the "family"???

I'm lovin this MC so far. And the dynamic of Yao Lao's death and Xiao Yan has his ring and the guy was in his body/ring suckin up his Qi the entire time. So damn cool man. I was so happy because I figured the ring out haha.

I'll never understand how this is not super popular? This is insanely better than anything I've ever seen in Anime..

I'm about to start episode 3. I have a feeling i'll be binging this. Thanks again, so damn much for the suggestion.

If anyone cares, I do post these reactions on YouTube - CrixAnimeReactions - www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fUgXj9F1DI&t=
