Synopsis

Lin Chen woke up to find himself as Ma Lou in Black Myth.

A monkey from the start, and every piece of gear earned through battle.

[Ding! The Strongest Roleplay System has successfully bound itself to you!]

[Current role: Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, from Dream of the Three Kingdoms.]

Lin Chen slowly pulled out a staff. “You’re polishing these shoes today, whether you like it or not.”

Guangzhi, lend me your strength! Fire Demon Slash, burn all three realms to ash!

Four Heavenly Kings? Come at me all at once. I’m in a hurry.

Old man Tathagata, I hear you’ve been getting pretty creative with your incense-and-faith racket.

With the Dragon Girl Ao Qingqing guarding his way, his second senior brother Zhu Bajie cursing as he charges at the vanguard, and the most dishonorable Destined One in all three realms, who stabs anyone he sees, right in the kidneys.

Ruffian Staff Technique: Phoenix Through the Flowers. One swing, one little Buddha sent flying.

Black Bear Guai, Yellow Wind Guai, Yellowbrow Old Buddha… Line up and come at me one by one.

The three realms rise and fall, heaven and earth turn upside down. Today, all cheer for Great Sage Sun, because the demonic fog has returned!

[In a nutshell] When a Dream of the Three Kingdoms player arrives in the world of Black Myth with his ruffian staff techniques, even the gods and Buddhas of the heavens may find it hard to sit still.

Using a little cheat code doesn't count as cheating; that's the power of the Great Sage.

This book is really good. The interactions between the Dragon Girl and Malouke are interesting, and the dream-creating Wukong doesn't suppress the fighting power. It's fun and enjoyable to read. Our dream-creating Wukong in Journey to the West is really something else!

Very good, invincible style, the Dream Puppet Monkey brings a little shock to the dark Three Realms 😏

Very good. The presence of the dragon girl adds a touch of humor, avoiding the boredom of simply leveling up and fighting monsters. The dialogue between the two is also good. This book can be said to be innovative. For me, the chapters have been easy to read so far, without any mindless or inconsistent power levels. I finished it in one go. However, this also reflects that the book is still too short, which is why 649 people have requested more updates, while there are only a few comments.

It's alright, barely half of the Great Sage's true fighting power, but the speed at which he regains his power is still too slow 🤭

It's really good, with no major flaws, and the plot is logical. The playful banter between the characters and Little Dragon Girl adds to the fun. It's a rare gem among Tomato's books, and I hope it doesn't stop updating. Those who give low scores are usually those who dropped the book around chapter 10, mostly like the Ten Attendants, unable to accept female characters.

It's very well written and not boring at all. There's nothing wrong with having the Dragon Girl as the female lead. Just write it according to your own ideas. I'm really looking forward to the scene where the protagonist uses a prop to revive the Great Sage. It would be even better if Erlang Shen were also there.

Kids, I am Shennong. I've read over 70 chapters; where did the Great Sage catch up with the main force after defeating the Yellow Wind? It's doing pretty well so far. The criticism in the comments section about adding a female lead stems from concerns that you might not handle the relationship between her and the main characters well, and that you might write a typical "strong female lead"…

I've seen the latest chapter, so I'm coming back to leave a positive review. To put it simply, I'd give the concept five stars, the writing style three stars, and the plot development four stars. It's a decent read; those interested can give it a try.
