This Monk Wants to Return to Secular Life

It's over, but this book is the best I've ever read on Qidian. I don't know what the author's purpose was in writing it—maybe it was just a passing interest, maybe it was to educate readers, I don't know. But I've had many thoughts after reading it. Before, because of my so-called "face," I accumulated a lot of debt, and my family was heartbroken. I even gave up on myself for a time.

A closing wish: The author spreads kindness and righteousness, a truly meritorious act! May this book be widely disseminated, bringing comfort and blessings to those who uphold kindness, and warning and inspiring repentance in those who have harbored evil intentions! A truly meritorious act! PoeticSatan sincerely wishes you well.

1: Many people say that the monk in the beginning of this book is full of foul language. The protagonist was preparing to return to secular life and become an ordinary person. Isn't it normal for an ordinary person to swear at the beginning? In the middle and later stages, did you see the protagonist utter a single swear word? 2: Some people say that the protagonist did not return to secular life.

I read this book from beginning to end. It's truly the best book I've ever read. The ideas it evokes are wonderful; it's full of positive energy from start to finish. As some readers have said, the Buddha isn't just the Buddha of Buddhism, but the Buddha of all sentient beings.

A note to the author: Hello, I am…PoeticSatan, a loyal reader of your book, *The Old Monk Wants to Return to Secular Life*. What sets me apart from other readers is that I used to be a publisher, a role similar to a film producer—meaning the editor-in-chief, editors, art directors, etc., All worked for me, and I paid their salaries.

I don't know what's going on, but a bunch of people are saying this book is incredibly inspiring, and some are even saying it made them cry! My god, a book that 7 out of 10 people call garbage, and yet some are saying the author did a great service by writing it? A high start followed by a low finish, is this just hype?

I couldn't continue reading past chapter 80-something, so I'll objectively share what I found offensive. First, the supporting characters collectively seem to have lost their intelligence. Every time a new supporting character arrives at the temple, it's as if they have a grudge against the protagonist, mindlessly causing trouble like an idiot. Is the protagonist really that hateful?

So, the author managed to finish the story before it was completed. Big Yellow, you need to keep it up!

The beginning of the novel was so well-written, with touching moments and laughter; I even wondered why such a good book wasn't in the top three. But then... Well... I almost couldn't continue reading several times. Can the author find their old style again? If you agree, upvote this so the author sees it.

It's tragic that a wicked person can instantly become a Buddha after laying down their knife. A murderer can have all his wishes fulfilled before death and even save his daughter, unaware that the person he killed also had a wife and children. His wishes were fulfilled, but other children are waiting for their father to return. It's too cruel; I can't bear to watch. Every time I see no description of the harm done, I really wonder what the point of saving these criminals is.
