... How to say this. You can take a look. It has a bit of a traditional flavor. But it also has a novel plot. Just... Why are there so many slap-in-the-face plots? But as a Taoist, the protagonist pursues a smooth Taoist mind. But it's not like there will be so many slap-in-the-face plots. … So it's hard to comment But you can take a look and pass the time
Dear readers, how are you? This is my own book review and summary at the end of the volume (laughs) According to my own outline, it should be about 60 chapters to the end of the Taoist Examination, and then about 70-75 chapters will be the end of the first volume, which is the complete story of the Taoist Examination. Unfortunately, I didn't wrap it up, and now it is finally completed around 80 chapters... I don't know if you have read the latest chapter. The protagonist is about to leave the Novice Village, so I may have to write about the world view. To be honest, I'm a little worried because I'm a complete novice and I'm afraid I won't be able to grasp it (laughs). In fact, the results of the book are good now. I thought about deleting the outline and just passing the exam all the way. But I feel that repeating it is not only boring, but also sorry for the readers. There are too many readers of Tomato novels, and it's really hard to agree with them all. But now that I've written it, I still want to present a complete world and the growth of a Taoist genius to readers. (Well, let's set a small goal first, starting with one million words!) As for the results, it ultimately depends on whether the story I write is exciting enough (of course, if it fails, it will be treated as if I didn't tell it, laugh~) In short, thank you again dear readers for your support~~
With the unique "Tao Kao" cultivation system and the integration of classical cultural heritage, it creates a flesh-and-blood protagonist's path to seek Tao. The plot is intertwined and it can be called a clear masterpiece. I sincerely recommend it to bookworms! The author has a very deep understanding of Taoism-related content and is very good at it.
I have read the latest chapter, and I feel good about it. There are no poisonous points, and the fun points are very dense. The main thing is that there is no messy romance, which is good. Is this book supposed to be CP-free? Or is it that the CP of the protagonist has not appeared yet?
I tied it in one breath. I feel that the world of Tao is very interesting. I really like to read Taoism-related content. When the content of the article reached more than 200,000 words, I felt that the content of the Taoist scriptures was significantly reduced, and it inevitably became vulgar. There is a plot in the novel where the protagonist helps students train for exams, which is not handled well, because on the one hand, this kind of exam-oriented education is very abrupt in a fantasy world, on the other hand, it does not help to show the protagonist's abilities, and it also takes up a lot of space. We even need to ask: How can this world accept so many people who can pass the exam? Will the exam become more difficult as a screening mechanism? Regarding the positioning of the protagonist, there is obviously a god, so why should he be a copywriter instead of a simple communicator of Taoism? As for the emotional line, if you don't plan to have one, you don't need to describe Chen Xuanmo. The role of this character needs to be carefully considered.
As of Chapter 191, the overall reading is still very comfortable. I hope the author will work harder. More and more people are writing about traditional Taoist culture, but it is difficult to say whether it has that charm. But after reading this book, I feel very satisfied, and it also makes me understand more. I don't know if it is correct or not. Next, let's talk about the plot: This book is a combination of imperial examination literature + traditional Taoism. I have only seen one book for the time being. There are other similar ones. Please recommend it to my brothers. On the whole, it is still a good article. I have used the bonuses from my previous life to reach the top in this life. Everything else is good. However, the fighting skills are a bit exaggerated, but it is good (🧠Throw it away). There is also a plot that is satisfactory. In addition to the urgency at the beginning, many imperial examination papers start to be taken for exams (what I mean here is: the protagonist of some imperial examination papers is in the provincial examination or above. There is no hesitation in the choice of taking the test. I will definitely pass the test. However, brothers who know me well know that achieving the two honors of "three points" and "six points in a row" are very rare in history, because for an exam that is difficult, competitive, and has a rare passing rate, most people will consider whether they should accumulate some experience and then continue to try instead of blindly continuing to take the exam.) But the situation in this book makes it easier for me to accept it: my own experience + the sacrifices of familiar elders + the sacrifices of the elders in my hometown (I don't remember this part of the plot clearly, there are mistakes, thank you for correcting me), which prompted the protagonist to continue to take the exam, giving the protagonist a change in mentality and a sense of urgency. Finally, I hope that the author will continue to work hard. It is too little. Can anyone provide a small dark room to encourage the author (a spur in the physical sense [smile] [smile])
Looking through all the relevant reform records, whether it was top-down or bottom-up, it was full of twists and turns, how could it be so easy. What's more, it's a different world where you can cultivate immortality. Of course, it's a novel and it's fine, as long as the author thinks it's reasonable. The second reason for giving it four stars is that it promotes Taoist culture, the subject matter is novel, and after reading it, you will take the initiative to learn about the relevant Taoist culture, and the update is slow [awkward laugh][awkward laugh][awkward laugh]
It can barely be regarded as the first book of a small branch of Confucianism and Taoism. Anyway, I have never read Chun's writing. It has some shadows of Confucianism and Taoism, but not much. I thought that there would be something similar to the Confucianism and Taoism where saints come. For the sake of novel setting, fine grain and grass, with the potential of fairy grass, cheers for the author,
This book is one of the strangest I have ever read, and it looks like a fairy seedling.
[Laughs][Like] I felt relieved when I saw the comment section where the author said that there is no female protagonist. It's too speechless to engage in a bloody and engaged relationship between a man and a woman after they have already cultivated immortality and pursued the high road. They also said that the male protagonist's parents pushed for marriage and had no children and were unfilial. You only look at the era and don't look at the actual cultivation of immortals, right? [I wonder if the male protagonist's parents have lost their fertility. Besides, cultivating an immortal is similar to taking the exam for the public. If you take the exam, your family will be eager for you to find a partner and have a child. Will this make it faster for you to get married? I'm afraid that if you just get involved, someone will secretly tell your boss that you are focused on having a partner, and you are not serious about doing things. If you have a quarrel and get involved in a relationship, your impression score will be even lower] If you like reading about harems or stories about girls cultivating in an ambiguous way, you can leave after reading this comment. There is no imperial sister master, no coquettish junior sister, no domineering female rival, no bloody divorce from the marriage, and no hero saving the beautiful yandere beauty who falls in love at first sight and refuses to let go. The protagonist is not Brother Pig, he is really dedicated to the Tao.
