If the tradition of spirit mediums is real, I'd like a truthful account of what disciples go through before becoming mediums, their experiences and state of mind, what life is like afterward, and the taboos involved.

Looking for books like That Guy Is Both a Northern Shaman and a Southern Taoist. I want something realistic, not exaggerated, with no savior or superpowered hero.

This book isn't fantasy; it tells real stories of shamanic practices in Northeast China—engaging and down-to-earth! The couple's dedication to establishing a proper shamanic practice, their various experiences of being scammed along the way, are very educational. The spirits speak with a clear and measured tone, depicting the trivialities of daily life during shamanic rituals.
This is my first time listening to audiobooks on Tomato Audiobooks, and also my first time writing a proper book review. I'm from Northeast China, and the text uses authentic Northeastern dialect—not exaggerated at all—and it gets more and more addictive the more you listen. I hope there will be live voice-overs in the future; it would definitely feel even better. Looking forward to it!
The official backend asked the author to write a 100-word book review 😂, and after thinking about it for a while, I'll just say a few honest words! I wouldn't dare say this book is the best in the industry, but I guarantee it's absolutely authentic!
The content is very engaging and interesting. The couple in the story are kind and compassionate, and the writing is very relatable. It's practically a guide to avoiding scams. The couple were cheated and deceived along the way, yet they still maintained their compassion and helped others. The author is a person with great love for humanity.
This book can be summed up in two words—authentic! Unlike those other shamanistic novels that are all hype and excitement but ultimately feel unrealistic and pointless, this book tells the story of a couple who tried to establish a shrine three times, spending a fortune but failing to do so, and nearly becoming exhausted. Yet, they didn't give up or accept their fate.
This novel, brimming with Northeastern Chinese flavor, deserves official voice-over. It depicts the reality for many: the stubborn disbelievers, those who believe in flawed logic, those obsessed with their own convictions, and those driven to madness. I hope readers can find a mirror within the book, learn from their experiences, and truly move on.
Having read many novels about shamanism, all of which are fantastical and exaggerated, this novel uniquely exposes the inner workings of this industry. Many shamans, posing as spiritual masters, spout nonsense to their followers, harming others and themselves in the process. Their illusions may fool the eye, but they cannot escape karmic retribution!
This is a fantastic read! The shaman's arduous journey of cultivation is realistic and down-to-earth, definitely worth reading. It's rooted in life, reality, and personal experience. There are no fantastical elements; all the hardships are relatable to ordinary people's lives.
The book features a woman who failed twice in setting up her altar, and was even taken to a mahjong game by a swindler, winning and being cheated at the same time… The book is full of people like this—those with a predestined connection to the divine, those who have been scammed, those who are half-dead and struggling, and those who are almost ready to give up.
I've been following the story closely. It's captivating and realistic, making it very immersive. The pacing is perfect, neither dragging nor feeling rushed. Although I always urge the author to update after finishing, the quality of each update remains consistently high. The couple struggles with both physical and financial issues, only to be told they have a destined connection.
