Just started and I gotta say ...

I was not into taht story but its different since i was try to watch its dongman and lrave in 4 episode. Donghua inyend to add stupid stuff just to make some ‘joke‘ and thatone add love romance between boys so if u compared to this one, its really different.

When you said Mao dao jcndnxx I was shookt because will Schweizer be really alive like Lan zhan or will it be Iris who plays that part O.O

I'm ... not really sure if I understand what you are trying to tell me. Sorry. o.o

I just try to said, both its not the same. Clearly in different things.
That chinese manga and anime was tagged as boy love boy and this one is not while this is body possession maybe similiar with reincarnation with same country and big gap timeline

I can't even believe that MDZS and this one looks similar to anyone. Sure they both have some of now popular tropes but that the same with a lot of mangas (if not all) ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Please read all translated chapters and you'll find different but also an epic adventure there (〜￣△￣)〜

This has nothing to do with mo dao zu shi, I have read both manhwas, and seriously see no freaking resemblances...

I will just reply openly, to no one in particular, because I will have to say the same to everyone anyway: Are you all unable to read? It's okay to say you don't think they are similar, but being to hilariously offended as some of you are, I doubt you got what I was saying. Because you don't have to be offended, once you realize I didn't make this point after reading or in other words: I never said the story itself was similar, but the summary sounded like a cheap ripoff. In other words, the summary doesn't really show any of the unique feelings you get when actually reading and makes it seem like a run-off-the-mill story. I also don't take it, that you only wanted to inform me of the differences between the two, as I was clearly not asking for it, but mentioning that I started reading now, so I would either still think like that or find out it's different myself. You just piss around because you felt like you need to protect the story, I get that to some extend, but just actually understand other people first, before you jump to conclusions. It's obvious you think I »accused« the story of being a ripoff, or being the same, but I just stated that it sounded eerily familiar to me, when it comes to the summary.
I made it clear though, that I barely read any of the story, and only commented on the premise stated in the summary of this work. So I didn't care if it is or isn't the same, I even mentioned (as if that wasn't already clear enough by stating that it's my thought on the summary, not the story, as well as mentioning in the second half of the post that I was just a few pages into the very first chapter) that I did not yet knew if I was wrong or not and that it didn't matter to my point.

Also, the sheer fact that MDZS is BL and this one isn't, isn't actually any point to make when it comes to the similarity of two stories. But aside from that, I was also relieved to see that only the premise was similar, the story itself on the other hand, felt quite different. That's nice. And that's all I'm going to say to this, so take it or leave it.
- I'm out -

The other being a BL and this one not being doesn't really matter because the stories are completed different and the characters are very different too, and this one has a completely different concept... And even if you just started reading, I still don't see why see similarities betwen this and Mo dao zu shi, they aren't even in the same historic time

»completely different concept«
=> Super strong mage (*cough* cultivator *cough*) from the past comes back after a guy, who is the disgrace of his respective family, can't endure anymore and takes his life, so that the mage can take over his body to enforce revenge. Also, something is somewhat wrong with the guy he took over.

Yeah, you REALLY opened my eyes there, I gotta say. They are basically incomparable from that standpoint. Not just a few minor numbers and details exchanged and completely indistinguishable aside from that, right?


All jokes aside:
I actually said I'm out, but I this answer is just too dumb to be left alone ... Well, in the first place, it is stupid to tell me something that I already acknowledged and second:
Similarities between a premise have nothing - nothing at all - to do with the exchange of timelines, sexual orientations within the main cast or fucking character designs. The premise and feel can be one and the same, even if you set it into a different world. And of course the timeline wouldn't be the same, as this one is set in an alternate world, while MDZS is mostly set in the our world, but way back. It's not the timeline that is scewed, as this world has a similar historical make-up, just a tad more modern, more westernized and, of course, completely made up, unlike MDZS (as far as I know - I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to the chinese terrain, so I can't confidently say it's not actually an alternate world after all).
Point being: If there are similarities or not, that isn't determined by how characters look, what gender the LI has or, as I said, the timeline, but the premise behind it and how those characters act within that world, to carry out said premise. And you can certainly NOT tell something like that from half a chapter, you dolt.
To top it off, I didn't even read half of that chapter to make my statement, I also never said I did - I made that statement, solely relying on the summary and I never pretended otherwise. If it somehow offends you, that this summary sounds like a korean bootleg of MDZS to me and thus, doesn't do the story a great service, in my opinion, then protect yourself and ignore the comment that was never directed at you. Anyway, making points that don't even hit the mark by a landslide, only for you to look butthurt and stupid in the process, really isn't how you do it.
Maybe one day you will learn how to make valid points in an argument. I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul.

But don't worry, now I'm really out. Those fruitless argument starts to take a toll on me, so I'll heed my own advice and ignore you from now on. Best wishes!

He doesn't take his body to take revenge... After he takes his body he just does whatever he wants, and continues to do what he did in his previous life, he trains and gets stronger, and fights the gods and demigods, so yes tye concept is different, and in mo dao zu shi there is no magic, there are tecnics that are not considered magic.... And in this one there is actually magic. And Mo dao zu shi is a story focused on two main characters and their relationship in the past and how it is now and their evolution while they have to deal with problems and people that end up getting in their way.
Mo dao zu shi is based on the real world, on China probably, while this manhwa is a world completely invented.

I find it funny that you lash out at us because you think the comments were aggressive, but then you come and say that my opinion is "dumb"... Dude, look in the mirror please, also I have never been aggressive or said your opinion was dumb, I said that to me it did not make sense, and I have read both manhwas, and also they have completely vibes

Also you have not finished reading this manhwa, so you have no idea how different this is from mo dao zu shi, do read it until the end please, it's amazing, and then you can come try to give me lessons about how they are similar, whish they are not in my opinion xD

Dude, in my opinion with that atitude you are as much of a jerk as other people are when they dismiss your opinion, you just did to me what you were complaining that they did to you, in my opinion that's what you call a hypocrite (￣∇￣")

In the end, I got too curious, seeing a lot of new answers ... I just can't stop arguing with people, but at least I know my flaws. Meh.

Well, whatever, first things first: Why can't you put your answer in ONE post, though?
I also only skipped through them, because I grew tired long ago. But I will match my statements with your posts in order.

1. Post:
First: Revenge can mean a lot within a summary and be interpreted in a lot of ways, which also includes how Wei Ying comes back and needs to take revenge on the family of the guy he possessed as well as later on, when it becomes clear he has been controlled during the later years of his earlier life, killing his Shijie among others and being all the more hated. All of that wouldn't be weird to be summarized as just that and the same goes for this Mage-Story, as it could have hidden a story quite similar to this one.
Second: Cultivation is basically magic-exorcism, I already stated that. Just because it's called differently, that doesn't make a difference, so stop the useless quibbling.
Third: The reason I'm calling this whole argument dumb (we'll get to that later, but it needs to be addressed here, nontheless) is because you can't or won't understand that I never talked about the »story«, but the mere summary and nothing else. I already stated back then, that I didn't know if I was right and I already revoked that statement when it comes to the story. But you keep on and on and on and on and on. God, how annoying can one person be, especially if you don't even know what your argument is aiming at? Are you a troll? Seriously, did I fall for a troll here? Embarrassing.
And the last of what you said just really took the cake. I literally explained to you that the time you said was different, wasn't the problem, but the world was entirely different, and how that doesn't actually make a difference when it comes to samey stories. Where do you get off, trying to explain that to me now? Yes, you must be a troll. You can't be an actual person who's like that.

2. Post:
Yeah, because I never addressed you, but every time one of you commented under MY post, I got a notification. I have no obligation to be nice to a bunch of numbskulls who can't even understand what people explain to them with painstaking effort. Shame on you.

3. Post:
I can't even ... Where do you get off, telling me how much I read? In fact, I didn't only read all of the chapters available of the Webtoon, but now, starting from chapter 1, I already finished the Webnovel all the way up to chapter 90, so I'm beyond the point where the Webtoon left off already. But that doesn't change jack shit. You know why? Because my comment was never about the story and what comes later. That information just doesn't seem to get through your thick skull, bruh.

4. Post:
Same as Post 2, so I ignore it.

Gosh, I really don't like falling for trolls. Gives me the feeling of being made a fool of.
