This novel is more like a story: an ordinary person without any special abilities accidentally stumbles into a life filled with ghosts and monsters. The banter between the protagonist, his brother, and the old Taoist priest is quite entertaining and enviable. The protagonist, true to his name, is impulsive but a good person; though timid, he is kind. The character is easy to understand.
Having read many types of books, this one is both terrifying and captivating, with each element seamlessly connected to the next. I found it excellent and very engaging.
Help! This book is so good! I really love Mr. Lü!! It has so many wonderful stories, and the characters are so well-developed. I absolutely adore it!! 🥰🥰
Unlike other books where you can predict the ending from the beginning or give up halfway through, this is one of the few I've read all the way to the end in recent years. The plot is very engaging and enjoyable.
It took me a long time to finish this book, and it's truly excellent. Many people only read the beginning and think Zhao Mang is too ordinary, even a little weak. But that's not the case. Faced with countless major issues and setbacks, he confronted them in his own way. What seemed like fate's arrangement was actually inseparable from his own courage.
I think this book is very good. Some people say that the protagonist is too cowardly and a bit ungrateful, but I don't think so. The beginning of the story already states that the protagonist is a college student who has never been exposed to Taoism or anything like that, so it's normal for him to be afraid.
I give this book five stars. It's arguably the best horror novel I've read from Tomato's collection. Unlike other horror novels about ascending to immortality, this one is more down-to-earth and relatable to ordinary people. The biggest highlight of the character Zhao Mang is his imperfections; he's greedy, cowardly, and suspicious—just an ordinary person yearning for a simple life.
The protagonist of this supernatural novel is the most ordinary-looking person, yet he experiences extraordinary events, and the plot is both interesting and humorous. The author completely subverts existing understandings of the underworld and celestial deities, leaving readers utterly disappointed with the concepts of the Yin and Yang realms. Only genuine human emotions shine through. Life is often mundane, but true happiness lies in the ordinary!
Fourth reading complete! I used to follow this series every day back in 2015 or 2014, waiting for the updates. I really love the trio. Their bickering and sabotaging of each other is hilarious. Who would have thought I'd be laughing like a pig while reading a horror novel late at night? There are also shortcomings.
It's great, I really like it, but one small suggestion is that the characters don't feel very well-developed. It's like they were just added in wherever needed. After finishing it, I felt that the plot was great, but I could hardly remember the characters. I think the author could try to put more effort into developing the characters. The plot is really great!
