The first season of The Daily Life of the Immortal King is now streaming on Netflix, complete with English dub and subtitle options. This 15-episode ONA follows Wang Ling, a seemingly ordinary high school student who is secretly an immensely powerful immortal cultivator struggling to live a normal life while fending off supernatural threats.
Produced by Haoliners Animation, the series adapts a popular web novel and blends urban fantasy with school comedy and cultivation tropes. While its MAL score sits at a respectable 7.31, the show's appeal lies in its satirical take on overpowered protagonists and the mundane struggles of maintaining a low profile amidst extraordinary circumstances.
This season covers the initial introduction to Ling's world, his attempts at a quiet existence, and the inevitable chaos that ensues. Viewers looking for a lighthearted adventure with a powerful, albeit reluctant, hero may find this a worthwhile binge.
