Journey to the West + a funny girl who transmigrates + dark themes + no romance
A college student obsessed with success manuals struggles to make ends meet by delivering takeout, gets beaten up by her idol, and unexpectedly transmigrates to the world of Journey to the West.
Her innate spell turns out to be the ability to make others agree with her whenever she recites success-manual slogans.
As the heroine learns more, she discovers that the world of Journey to the West is fundamentally different from what she had seen before.
Gods and Buddhas fill the skies, scheming against one another.
Demons and monsters deceive and betray each other.
Ordinary people in the mortal world sink into indulgence and debauchery.
To survive, the heroine tries to use the clues she already knows to maximize her gains.
The Three Pure Ones, the Jade Emperor, and the Tathagata, one after another, actually ask the heroine to teach them and even offer to become her disciples.
The overall plot is within the expected results, but the journey to get there is not.
