    Reader note

    The author has some understanding of Taoist cultivation practices in Journey to the West, including many internal alchemy techniques. The writing style is similar to that of Journey to the West, but without being overly contrived, unlike many modern novels that are too formulaic and template-driven. The overall feel is somewhat similar to the early stages of The Legend of the Rotten Chessboard, but they belong to different paths.
