If I become a Buddha, I will sweep away all evil spirits in the world. If I become a demon, I will defeat all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens.
This book is excellent. The author must have written it in a rush, as some parts are quite abbreviated. It's very engaging, easily drawing the reader into the world of the protagonist.
The plot is full of twists and turns, and the mystery of the young monk's origins remains. The young monk descends the mountain, and his interactions with others reveal a broad-minded, kind, and compassionate nature! The world is a battleground of open and covert struggles, filled with passionate heroism! Keep up the good work, author! 😄😄😄👍👍👍👍
Overall, the book is well-written. As a wuxia novel, I assumed most protagonists would be sword cultivators from Wudang or Huashan, not primarily monks. However, the initial character isn't a Buddha from Buddhist scriptures, but rather a monk who dares to love and hate, which was what kept me reading to the last chapter.
I prefer martial arts novels to fantasy novels; it's just a personal preference, not that fantasy novels are bad. This book is very well-written, fast-paced, and full of twists and turns.
This book is absolutely brilliant! I wanted to keep reading from the very beginning. The chapter descriptions are superb, the characters are realistically portrayed, and it conveys a profound truth: there are bad people among good people (and good people can make mistakes), and there are good people among bad people. A change of heart can transform someone into a good person! Exquisite! Visually appealing! I'll watch it again from the beginning.
The author has a wide range of knowledge, and the novel is fast-paced, but the middle chapters are a bit disorganized.
I can only say that reading this book gave me the same feeling as reading Jin Yong's novels in high school—a certain charm, perhaps. The content is indeed excellent, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable read. The only minor flaw, in my opinion, is that the chapter order is a bit messy. However, I suggest that readers who encounter this problem persevere and finish reading; it's quite interesting.
It unfolds in a simple and slow manner, gradually leading to a deeper and more profound understanding. It uses common sense to reveal profound truths and sincerity to show genuine feelings.
It's well-written, with a tight and coherent plot. Although relatively short, it's very engaging. It's a bit of a shame, though; I felt the treatment of Ah Xiu and Wu Liang was poorly handled. Two people who had suffered so much, one a genuine prodigal son turning over a new leaf, should have had a happy ending, but instead, they didn't have a good conclusion. I think this part of the plot was poorly arranged. This is just my personal opinion; please forgive any inaccuracies!
