Good Taoist Novels, No Systems. I Really Can't Stand System Stories
Looking for Taoist priest novels. The important thing is that they don’t have a System. I want one without a System. Whenever I see a System novel, I feel like every kind of story becomes boring. Any experts have good supernatural novels to recommend? Remember, no System, no System.

This is a memoir; those who don't like that genre shouldn't read it. It's a well-written book, quite rigorous overall, with some comedic elements later on. It's a pity the master died in the end, unable to be with the one he loved—such a regret! I originally wanted to give it four stars, but because it's a memoir and this type is relatively rare, I'm giving it five stars (it's truly excellent).
I really love reading this kind of story! It features a powerful and humorous master, no female lead, and no harem. Does anyone know of any similar stories? This author hasn't written any other books, so I'd like some recommendations. Thanks! 😜
It's such a shame that my master died later on; it really affected my mood. I wish the ending could have been more perfect. The part where they went to school was really good and funny.
It's good; those who like Taoist culture should check it out. The story flows smoothly overall, but the novel is too short—I wanted more! 😔
Do people really have the ability to see ghosts? It's all just made up, right? 😄😄
There's absolutely no fluff; the language is concise and well-researched, making it a pleasant read. It concludes properly, unlike other authors who tend to ramble on to outer space. Very good and highly recommended.
A true Taoist priest—was this based on the author's personal experience? Perhaps there's some exaggeration, but it's still quite shocking and gave me a better understanding of real Taoist priests. The novel is very well written. I suggest the Taoist priest write about some of his own experiences exorcising demons and monsters; it would be very interesting.
Overall, it feels authentic, not exaggerated, like someone writing about their own experiences. A key detail is the mention of a curse in the latter half, which is inconvenient to state directly, adding to the realism and emotional connection. It's a shame the ending, where breaking the curse is only mentioned briefly, isn't as difficult as one might imagine—after all, it's a problem that hasn't been solved for centuries. But it's not a major issue and definitely worth recommending.
It seems alright, let's take a look further.
It's well-written and concise. It draws the reader into Hu Daodao's emotions and life, witnessing his transformation from a mischievous, fighting, and greedy child into a self-reliant, calm, and collected adult. It also evokes admiration for the bond between him and his master. It's heartening to see him with friends like Li Chuanye who care about him.
