Are there any that don’t...

This book is truly amazing, especially the depiction of Zhao Yun fighting Optimus Prime to the death for his sister all day. However, the White Bone Demon was simply too powerful; if it weren't for the Blind Monk's sonic boom and Dragon's Tail Slash, she definitely wouldn't have survived that AK47's automatic barrage.
Well written, but there's one thing you might be mistaken about. Shi Jian of Maoshan disdains being the Grand Master of the Underworld. Lin Zhengying became a ghost messenger because of his life in the human world. Moreover, in the movies, Shi Jian commands immense respect; even Lin Zhengying would have respected him if it weren't for his son.
Not bad, not bad, worthy of praise. It's at least a high-quality read. It features dual transmigration, Taoist magic, public displays of power, and decisive killing. It has all the elements of a satisfying read, and the quality is not compromised. I will continue to follow this book. I'm not a shill.
I was originally going to give it three stars, but after seeing some readers in the comments saying they really enjoyed it, it's true. Although it's an old-school urban fantasy novel with a classic plot, and the protagonist is the kind of pretentious virgin who's all talk and no action but can't even openly flirt in a karaoke bar, only daring to date a pure, innocent young virgin, it's just so…
The author's writing style is excellent, with no filler words (this is very important; I've read many books lately that are extremely padded), and I really enjoyed the pacing of the plot. The transition between the two realms is also good, as are the relationships between the characters. Finally, it's not just the protagonist who's all powerful and arrogant.
This book is absolutely brilliant and worth reading again and again! The content is profound yet accessible, offering invaluable insights. The author's writing is fluent, and the genuine emotions are deeply moving. The plot is tightly woven, gripping, and impossible to put down. The characters are well-developed and memorable. This book is a feast for the mind, sparking with wisdom.
The text discusses the need to limit oneself to the Lam Ching-ying series when writing about magic and Taoist arts novels. It suggests five older films that can be used to supplement the setting and expand the world-building: The Thousand Faces of Dunjia film series: *The Thousand Faces of Dunjia* (1982), *The Exorcist's Appearance* (1983), *The Ghostly Exorcist* (1984), *Dragon's Roar* (1985), and *The Yin-Yang Master* (1986).
Opinions on this book are mixed. But I think this book is well written! First, the author's handling of the character Song Jiang is very novel and unparalleled, completely breaking away from the previous style of Song Jiang being obedient to Tang Seng. Tang Seng is also not like before, always nagging Lin Daiyu and not doing his job.
Classic storyline, turn-based combat, no major flaws. You need to come up with something new with these outdated plots! It's always the same story, with everything getting overshadowed before the main character gets their turn. It gets boring towards the end; it's so repetitive. Otherwise, it would easily have gotten an 8.5. I'm exhausted from watching it, so I'll leave a comment later. 🙂
So far, I've enjoyed it. The protagonist is decisive and gets revenge without being overly sentimental. It's worth watching.
