This is fantastic! Although sometimes the plot is disjointed, this novel gave me a wonderful feeling. People who love this country are all working hard. Most know they face enemies far stronger than themselves, but they're willing to risk their lives for the protagonist. They are brave and strong, utterly loyal. They don't believe in fate; they believe in themselves and their country.
I've read every single one of Lao Zhang's "Notes on Suppressing Evil" series. I've finished them all. When I first saw this book, it felt so familiar—the text and style were so familiar. And then I saw the author, and sure enough, it was the person I was looking for. I especially love reading Lao Zhang's writing; it's fast-paced and romantic, so enjoyable to read! I support Lao Zhang!!
It's super good! The beginning is supernatural, and the later parts are mythological. Although the transition is a bit fast, the plot doesn't drag, the scope is grand, and the narrative is clear. It's definitely going to be a hit.
Super good! I've read every single one of your books: *The Demon Suppression Notes*, *Thousand Corpse Town*, *Soul Suppression Stele*, and so on.
Old Zhang's books are as good as ever, quite funny, with themes of brotherhood and patriotism.
As soon as I heard "pockmarked" wasn't "pockmarked," I knew it was Old Zhang.
It's so good! 😢 I finished it in one go. The gods are so evil! I really want to know what happens to the main characters later.
I've read so many of Lao Zhang's books, from Zhang Wuren to Lao Zhang himself, from the Soul-Suppressing Stele to the Demon Hunter's Notes, and now to the Corpse-Hunting Chronicles. I feel he's a seriously underrated author of supernatural fiction. The relationship between the Zhang and He families is also very compelling. Some of the settings in Lao Zhang's books are actually the same, and his knowledge isn't fabricated; it's genuinely based on scholarship. 💕
It's great, I love reading these kinds of satisfying stories where the protagonist doesn't swallow their anger! 👍
Clear logical thinking, good. It's not like those movies I used to watch that started off scary but then became adventurous.
