Synopsis

A 28-year-old corporate drone in the city and an ardent Stephen Chow fan, he unwinds by cracking jokes and roasting everything around him. His mind is full of modern internet memes and practical knowledge, and he has a hidden knack for using humor to ease awkward moments. By chance, he touches his grandfather's old film canister of The Saint of Gamblers in Shanghai and unexpectedly enters the world of the movie. Thus begins his journey across different films.

In The Saint of Gamblers in Shanghai, he poses as an extra, pokes fun at Chow Sing-Cho's supernatural gambling skills with probability theory, and helps him turn the tables with anti-cheating tricks. In Flirting Scholar, he fires back at the scholar who challenges him with a roast-filled couplet and solves the mosquito problem at the Hua residence with his knowledge of chemistry. He later travels through other classics such as Kung Fu, A Better Tomorrow, and A Chinese Odyssey, using modern know-how in sports management, data analysis, and first aid to offer the characters advice, while collecting fragments of the Dimensional Hub and uncovering the secret that his grandfather was once a Guardian of Dimensions.

From a mere bystander who cracks jokes, he gradually grows into someone willing to take responsibility, joining forces with cross-world companions such as Ah Jie and Yu Jiaolong to fight the villainous Guardian of Dimensions. He always uses down-to-earth humor to break through the screen between worlds. He is both the ultimate wingman for Stephen Chow's characters and a unique link between reality and the worlds of film. At last, he must choose between returning to reality and staying to protect the cinematic dimensions. His story holds the passion of an ordinary person and a love for the classics.

Any Nonsensical, Funny, or Just Plain Bizarre Books?

Books are great, or even just casual chatting where I can vent. If I have time, I'll definitely read it. If I don't know what to say, I'll just give you a like. I've had a lot of crap going on lately and can't get motivated to do anything, so I want a novel with a real knife to it. The ones I looked for before weren't categorized, and I couldn't be bothered to browse through them.

Recommend Me Some Books, I'm Starving and Can't Find Anything Good to Read

I'll read any genre, but not female-oriented fiction. The writing just needs to flow well. My only requirements are a good plot and believable characters who don't act like they have their intestines wrapped around their brains. I'm fine with brainless wish-fulfillment too, but the basic logic still needs to hold up. I'm open to female...

What Is This Garbage Everyone’s Writing These Days?

What are all these books supposed to be? They're either full of pointless filler or use exactly the same setups. Every one of them is toxic and brain-dead, and their ratings are all boosted by bots spamming votes. Is there really not a single book that's comfortable to read?
