What to Expect From The Qi Refining for 3000 Years Source Material Compared to The Anime?
While the Qi Refining for 3000 Years donghua doesn’t freestyle the source material story as much as some other donghua adaptations do, you should note that the anime does jump around the story a lot, and skips large chunks of it as well as changes how events go.
You may have a particularly difficult time jumping into the story if only because the character designs of the manhua are quite different from the anime.
While I do recommend reading this series from the beginning due to the amount it skipped and changed, you can technically jump in and glean the details from context.
Will There Be A Qi Refining for 3000 Years Season 2?
