It's quite good, the writing is very good, but the paragraph breaks are a bit problematic. There are long paragraphs that are a bit difficult to read. There are two women in the story, but there's no romance between them. It's much better than those rambling fantasy novels.
I've read all the comments. Regarding the points raised about the protagonist's arrogant and complacent personality and his tendency to make mistakes due to drinking, I acknowledge that the character's traits weren't handled well and caused a lot of reader backlash. While I don't like conspiracy theories, I personally believe these elements were necessary to advance the plot.
They don't seem like modern people who traveled there, nor do they seem like ancient people who traveled there; they seem like heroes from Liangshan in a TV series who traveled there.
I haven't read such a good novel in a long time. The writing skills are exceptional. Also, I've seen some comments like this and that; don't listen to them. Truly inspiring novels focus on the spirit, not the form. Like the fleeting world, everything is transient. Express the meaning of life you want to convey!
It's pretty good. It's not mindless writing, nor does it show off its intellectual prowess. For today's Tomato (a popular Chinese online literature platform) writers, it's a masterpiece. The characters are well-developed and fit the synopsis. If the time-travel element weren't included, the story would be even better.
It has the feel of Water Margin, and it looks quite interesting!
I'm listening to an audiobook, and I'm currently on the part where the Five Spirit Officials chased the protagonist to the Western Sea. My biggest question right now is that the protagonist initially cultivated the Turtle Spirit Mother's techniques, but after the Turtle Spirit Mother's death, he cultivated the techniques given to him by Tongtian. How did he cultivate the Three Pure Ones' righteous methods for hundreds of years and end up with a demonic aura? I'm quite curious.
It's alright. Although the protagonist seems to have various short-sighted issues, it's understandable since he's an ordinary person who transmigrated to this world. Besides, he didn't become a monk after transmigrating 😏, and his combat power isn't diminished.
Overall, it's over 9 points; the current rating is too low. It's very well written. The plot is full of twists and turns, and the writing is superb. However, it's a bit unsuitable for the pace of modern life; the exciting moments aren't frequent, and the setup is a bit long, which might explain the low rating. If the goal is to tell a good story, this is good enough.
This isn't one of those mindless, formulaic wish-fulfillment stories, nor does it rely on rote leveling up and monster-slaying. The author has their own ideas. Those who aren't new to wish-fulfillment stories might find it a bit frustrating, but for those tired of formulaic leveling-up novels, this is a refreshing change. I hope the author continues to write well.
