I finished Black Myth: Wukong, but I still can't let it go! The real kind of heartbreak that lingers!
Brother Ma's loyalty, the Yellow Wind Sage's honor, Bajie and Zizhu'er's love, the tragedy of the Bull Demon King's three wrong choices, Red Boy's refusal to yield even in death...
So many gut punches, so many things that are impossible to forget, so many regrets that still haunt me!
And then there's Fourth Sister...
She said she'd paved the road for me, but what about her own road?
She said it's easy to save others, but hard to save yourself. She saved the Destined One several times, but what did he do for her?
All he could do was watch helplessly as that old crane carried her away!
But in the end, it was all for nothing. The story demanded it, and there was heartbreak everywhere.
The Destined One couldn't save anyone after all.
He never got to see the mountains beyond her mountains with her...
I thought that after fully mastering the Six Roots, the fourth playthrough would unlock a hidden third ending, a havoc-wreaking rampage through Heaven, a chance to turn the tide. But then it just stopped.
"You stinky monkey, tell me... What do you think the world beyond these mountains is like?"
Fourth Sister's words still seem to echo in my ears.
If even the mighty Destined One can't save himself or anyone else, then I'll become the new Great Sage!
"I want the heavens to never again cover my eyes, the earth to never again bury my heart, all living beings to understand what I mean, and every Buddha to vanish into smoke."
I'll defy the heavens, destroy these evil gods and demons, and rewrite fate!!
It's updated, but I don't know why it keeps getting delayed on Tomato's end 🤦
Yes, the subject matter is good, and the writing style is decent.
Black Myth books are indeed rare.
