Huh...
I stumbled across the first episode of this the other day, entirely by chance, and was intrigued and watched it and was impressed (and cynically amused by the pro-capitalist messaging).
I didn't even consider the possibility that there might be a thread here for it though.
A lot of the reason I ended up watching it is that it's one of the very few times that I've come across a donghua and not been immediately put off by the story, the animation or both. Though an isekai, which is far from my favorite genre, it looked promising (and the pro-capitalist messaging looked cynically meta-amusing), and the animation looked to be both relatively traditional, instead of creepy CGI, and with relatively high production values. That was enough all by itself to give it a shot.
Even with that, I was sort of pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the first episode, and this episode just that much more so. This actually looks like it could be pretty good just on its own merits.
And it's good timing too - this season started with an unusual number of promising anime, but most of them have turned out to be disappointing, so I was just about ready for something interesting to follow.
I read some of the manga of this, and it was a really fun story. This looks like a good one.
