YAO-Chinese Folktales 2 has reached 65.22 million cumulative views on Bilibili since its January 1 launch, with daily traffic trends showing a steady increase rather than a one-time spike. The nine-episode anthology format has encouraged repeat watches and sustained platform interest.

The series has attracted over 6.75 million new followers, while comments, reposts and user-generated content have remained consistently active throughout its run. Engagement indicators point to continued user participation and social sharing beyond the initial release period.

This strong digital performance builds on the franchise’s previous feature-length spin-off, which generated 1.719 billion RMB at the mainland box office. Elevated viewership and follower growth could strengthen advertising sales and subscription uptake for Bilibili.
