Authentic Primordial Era Fiction: No Dumbed-Down Characters or Broken Power Systems
Looking for books similar to "Pangu: Systems, I'm Back for Revenge!" I'm really tired of those stories that break the whole cultivation system, as well as the prehistoric-world novels that water things down. They're all so mindless. I want a proper prehistoric-world story, like one about a human sage and so on.

Fantasy, Wild Imagination, and a Vast Worldbuilding. Get It?
Looking for books similar to "You Were Supposed to Support Your Master in His Old Age, So Why Is He Seeing You Off Instead?" I want a fantasy novel that's not the traditional kind. A childhood betrothal is fine, but the woman shouldn't break off the engagement. The sect's senior figures and disciples should be smart. No harem. There should be an upper realm.

First of all, this isn't the first book about Journey to the West I've read. I think this is a great, fast-paced read that really got my heart racing. Secondly, the author's slow-paced progression of the quest for immortality and the struggle against it is good. While the theme is fast-paced and enjoyable, it has the potential for depth. I hope the later chapters will be even better. I also want to know who the protagonist is reincarnated from.
I've read almost all the fantasy novels with a 9-point or higher rating on Tomato, and this one easily ranks in my top three. Its highlights are: ① The character dialogue is very well-designed and three-dimensional, avoiding a one-dimensional feel, showcasing the author's skill and making it a captivating read.
It's good, the rating shouldn't be so low. Every author has the right to create their own genre and writing style. Even if there are unreasonable differences from the Investiture of the Gods and the Primordial Era genres, that's fine. They're all novels, and we should read them however the author writes. Investiture of the Gods and the Primordial Era are also novels; they just appeared earlier.
This book is truly excellent, and the latest version I've read doesn't feature a female lead. I'm not very familiar with the specialized techniques and spells in Journey to the West, but I feel that the protagonist, as portrayed by the author, is not childish and acts with great magnanimity. There are no romantic entanglements interfering with the protagonist's actions, which align with their initial character. It's a genuinely good book, and I really can't get enough of it!
The author is amazing!!! The story takes off from here on out, I love this kind of destruction followed by construction, all that buildup made it all worthwhile in the end!
It's alright, I'd say. Skipping some chapters makes it readable, at least I finished reading it.
Wow, I finished it in one go! So satisfying, so good, so great! Many of the concepts in the book resonated with my fantasy worldview. The only downside was the lack of detail regarding eternity at the end; it could have explored the legendary, mythical, and ineffable aspects more thoroughly.
I've finished reading this book. It spans from Journey to the West to the Primordial Era, then from the Primordial World to the Universe, progressing from Sage (Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal) to Boundless (Heavenly Dao) to Legend (Great Dao) to Transcendence (Unity of Positive and Negative) to the Unity of the Three Realms (One Proof, Eternal Proof).
[I'm full] Putting everything else aside, it's intelligent, has satisfying moments, no female lead, no moral blackmail, very dog-like, very exciting, I like it.
As a seasoned bookworm, this is a masterpiece, the pinnacle of the system genre. When one's power surpasses all expectations, one becomes the progenitor of systems. After reading this book, my takeaway is that one should be self-reliant, be one's own master, and while indulging one's desires, maintain a certain bottom line. Overall, the book is very good.
