I agree. The last few episodes, in my opinion the last two especially really made me love this show. Looking back at it all makes sense too, the whole teasing about people being confused by Shāng's sword and of course all the talk about backstabbing.

And the pay off was amazing IMO, the action scene in episode 12 with the wooden stick is so good.

The last episode was great too, I wished the Demon God would’ve been an actual puppet and the fight would've been a bit longer, but the way they ended it with Shāng pulling a Matrix-style armory scene with the scroll was great.

I'm happy they're making a sequel.
