The new book's rating is fairly low. The first 26 chapters are all setup, with little suspense or combat. Readers who want high-energy action can skip it.
After staying up late binge-watching a show, Li Cong accidentally transmigrates and is reborn as a frail Tang Monk. His disciples are no longer Bajie, Sha Seng, and the White Dragon Horse; instead, each one is a powerful figure from the demon or divine realms.
In this offbeat version of Journey to the West, the pilgrimage for scriptures becomes a fight for survival to save the Three Realms, and Tang Monk becomes the only one capable of changing the fate of all living beings.
Armed with a nine-ringed monk's staff and riding a pterosaur-like mount, he teams up with the unruly Sun Wukong, the overpowered Bull Demon King, and a stunningly beautiful demoness. Together, they'll carve a bloody path through a dark and treacherous world.
Just how far will this journey to defy fate take them?
