The Way of the Great Dao

I finally finished reading it and give it a five-star rating. I mainly appreciate the book's interpretation of Buddhism and Taoism and its use of poetry. The author's literary skills are quite high, far superior to the average light novel. The book's low rating is likely due to two main reasons.

I don't know why this book has a low rating. The author writes very seriously, and the cultivation aspects are presented step by step, showing a deep understanding of true cultivation. Perhaps it's because it's not an overpowered, hilarious, and lighthearted story that fewer people like it?

This novel is truly remarkable; the author possesses considerable skill, with well-placed and logical foreshadowing. The poetry and prose within must have been written with a solid foundation, leaning towards Zen within Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, demonstrating a profound understanding of Buddhist teachings. The Sixteen Contemplations, in particular, provided ample room for my imagination.

It's well-written, though the ending was a bit rushed. The author has a good writing style and a certain level of historical knowledge. I really enjoyed it.

It's no longer a novel full of fighting and killing; it contains more Chinese elements and Buddhist and Taoist interpretations, which is commendable.

The book's narrative of that chaotic period of history is seamlessly integrated with the plot, preventing the novel from being mere fiction. Few books choose to depict such a turbulent era; the author has clearly put in considerable effort!

This book is very well written.

It's beautiful, with a novel concept that makes it worth watching. I look forward to seeing more of the plot later.

The pacing is superb, the plot is well-designed, and the logic is clear! An absolutely first-rate work!

I was going to give it four and a half stars, but no work is perfect. Oh well, I can't give it half a star in this review.
