The Sequel to Journey to the West

To be honest, when I first saw the linkage between Journey to the West and Red Mansions, I rejected it, thinking it must be nonsense. It turned out so delicious. The author is very thoughtful in exploring the foreshadowing of the Red Mansion. He cleverly integrates elements such as the Yuan Chun Festival and the illusion of Taixu into the main line, rather than copying them mechanically. The fighting scenes were written quite solidly, and the part where Tathagata suppressed the Five Emperors with one palm made my blood boil. What moved me the most was the chapter where the mother and son of Golden Winged Roc and Dark Phoenix were fighting each other. I scolded the author for stabbing me, but also felt that the beating was not enough. The overall style is relaxed but not childish, and the humor has depth. It is the best Westward Journey derivative novel I have read so far. Already tied, waiting for updates.
