A God Named Qi Xia, a Madman Named Lin Yuan, and a Legend...
I want to read something similar to "The End of Ten Days." After "The End of Ten Days," "The Bureau of Legend Management," and "My Seven-Year-Old Self Enters the Rules Horror Game," there have been no more masterpieces. Debate me if you disagree.

Having read over 20 chapters, I'm here to comment. The author has a strong literary foundation, clear thinking, and a generally humorous and witty style. If it doesn't fall apart later on, it could be a top-notch read. The combination of traditional shadow puppetry and modern cultivation is a novel concept. The story is tight and concise, and the scary and thrilling beginning is quite amazing.
I rarely write reviews, but this book is truly excellent. I'm not angry that the author didn't finish the book due to completion issues, because he's an adult and needs to take care of himself and his family. I highly recommend this book to all readers; it contains many profound insights and you can learn a great deal about shadow puppetry. The integration of elements is also very natural.
Yes, it looks good. I'm giving it five stars because of Old Fish.
Old Fish said: I have shadow puppetry, which I sing for ghosts and gods to hear. Where there is no true law in the world, evil ways flourish. The Heavenly Palace has become a purgatory, and humanity has no chance of survival. One must attain the true way to distinguish between purity and impurity. Passed down for thousands of years, the legacy of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor remains.
Haha, I've been nurturing this book for a year, and when I came back, it was dead? 🙂
Old Fish's writing is excellent! The subject matter is very novel, both traditional and innovative. The Chinese puppeteer is a refreshing change, and the collision of traditional opera and modern urban style is memorable. The writing style is also light and humorous (especially the direct and witty insults, which I love). There are many foreshadowing elements, and I'm looking forward to the big surprises later on! A very good novel! Love from a group member.
It was quite enjoyable to read, and the whole book didn't rely on formulas; it felt even better than Sanjiu's writing. If you insist on finding a flaw, there is one: stop showing off your vocabulary! Sometimes, smoother language is much better than those slang terms. Five four-character idioms on one page—it felt like I was doing a Chinese dictation test!
It's really good! I support it!
That's a really creative idea! This is the first time I've seen a protagonist's cheat ability be based on shadow puppetry.
A fantastic book, seamlessly blending suspense and humor, making it a light and entertaining read, yet also offering profound insights and food for thought! Highly recommended!
