Strange Tales from Western Henan

I finally caught up after half a month of following it. Actually, I thought I could finish it in two days when I first started reading, but it took me much longer. The reason is probably because there is so much useful knowledge in the book, and reading it word by word was indeed a bit slow (plus, I'm also quite busy with my studies in real life).

The author is a highly narcissistic professional Taoist priest who narrates his daily work from a first-person perspective. His writing is realistic and delicate, balancing philosophical reflections with personal emotions. The novel avoids excessive embellishment and repetitive phrases, eschewing exaggeration for a concise and lively style that will keep you awake. It can be both awe-inspiring and soothing, suitable for all ages! Highly recommended!

The author, Mr. Lin Yi, has incorporated his learning, observations, and insights into this book. The content covers feng shui, divination, exorcism, and demon-binding, with a rich tapestry of captivating stories and a masterful writing style. His literary talent rivals that of Sima Xiangru, and his eloquence is comparable to that of the Jian'an era.

To put it simply, this supernatural novel is one of the few truly realistic stories I've patiently read to the end. The author didn't exaggerate the word count; it's packed with substantial content. What I saw most was genuine emotion. From the master to Fugui, everyone was a kind person. Initially, I didn't plan to read this book because many highly rated stories later become incredibly absurd.

It's just so good, much better than other novels I've read. It's a very down-to-earth novel, without so many weird and wonderful things like flying or being possessed by gods. Honestly, it's just good. Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people.

Highly recommended! The writing is excellent, more realistic than typical supernatural books. Although I'm not a Taoist, I enjoy researching this topic and am aware of some taboos. It's very well written! Keep up the good work, author!

Having listened to audiobooks for over ten years, this book is truly top-notch, packed with valuable information. It broadened my knowledge and horizons, allowing me to listen to the stories of many different lives and experiences—the full spectrum of human emotions, from joy to sorrow, from sadness to depression. It's written by someone from my hometown, and I'm so proud of them!

Without exaggeration, the events are true, and this is another highly recommended book. It also includes many commonly used Taoist exorcism techniques, and the author teaches some that ordinary people can use. It's truly worth recommending!

A must-give five-star review! So true, so incredibly true! Author Lin Yi, a professional Taoist priest with rich practical experience! The Little Tyrant of Western Henan, the face of Western Henan, the Daniel Wu of Western Henan, the most handsome guy in Western Henan, the dream of thousands of girls in Western Henan, the most handsome man in Western Henan 🤭.

This is a very down-to-earth book. There are no fancy plots. The author is more like a friend, telling the story of human joys and sorrows in detail. The author's concise writing reveals a series of reflections on human nature, especially the stories of several children, which evoke sadness and helplessness. The author repeatedly reminds everyone to cherish life, live with a sunny and cheerful attitude, and strive to make the most of each day. It is worth taking the time to savor this slowly.
