A heads-up: in chapter 161, the protagonist and Yao Huihui become boyfriend and girlfriend. The writing is simple yet interesting; I enjoy this kind of slice-of-life storyline. However, the romance isn't very engaging. The male and female supporting characters are all rather inexplicable—oh, now it's not the female supporting character, it's the female lead! [Petrified]
I've read another work by the same author, where the protagonist, if I remember correctly, is the fortune teller in hemp clothing, who raises five ghosts. However, this work differs from mainstream ghost stories in that its plot progression and writing style are very slow, deliberate, and delicate.
Although I haven't read many novels of this type, I think this book really suits my taste. It's very unique, with rich and realistic content. However, I feel that a separate male lead is sufficient; adding a female lead (I'm a girl) feels a bit odd. I think focusing on the male lead's individual storylines is fine; adding a female lead feels strange. Also, I hope the author updates soon! I can't wait!
It's very well-written, with one short story after another, so the reader won't get tired of it.
It's incredibly good, no doubt about it. It can be seen as short stories interwoven with the main plot, which are very interesting to read. It has a similar feel to Baku Yumemakura's Onmyoji, and it doesn't feel cramped at all. Absolute strength represents absolute satisfaction, and it's also just right in its restraint, without any sense of power inflation or devaluation.
I really enjoyed this novel. Every chapter and the plot gripped the reader's heart. Once you started reading, you wanted to keep going; it was so addictive! The story was clear and coherent, suspenseful yet entertaining. I hope the author keeps updating! I really can't get enough! [Requesting more updates!]
"The Fortune Teller in Hemp Robes and Fishing" was the first book that introduced me to the world of cultivation. I thought it was alright at the time, but later it turned into a cultivation novel. The setting of the first book was different, but it still couldn't escape the cultivation theme. When I got to this book, I thought it was really good, better than the previous books.
Putting aside the romantic details, overall it's pretty good. It's a male-oriented novel, and the plot is well-paced. Also, could the author please update faster? 😢 Several of my favorite books are still being updated.
Overall, the story progresses very smoothly. The author has many interesting stories, the protagonist is invincible, and the problem-solving is smooth and efficient. It's perfect. The second male lead and the female lead are a bit hard to watch in the early stages, but it gets very enjoyable later on.
My impressions after reading the latest chapter 449: The language is quite interesting and not tedious to read. Regardless of whether what's said in the story is true or false, reading novels is just something to pass the time when you're bored. Also, I want to ask the author to update soon! 🤔🤔🤔
