A Taoist Priest in the Hong Kong Cinema Universe

Nowadays, novels like to portray mythological figures and villains as idiots, while depicting the protagonist as incredibly powerful and everyone else as fools.

Great book! The author's brilliant writing makes even poorly made, plot-flawed movies interesting. I personally recommend a few films that could be expanded into ghost storylines: "Speedy Zombies" + "New Human Lantern": The side story involves eliminating a traitor from Maoshan. Maoshan sorcerer Mao Long, having painstakingly practiced the Ascension Technique, seeks to become an immortal demon.

In the movie "A Lifetime of Good Fortune," even the female gambler is more trustworthy than the characters in the film. I think those three guys should just die. I watched a movie called "The Exorcist" today, and I hope the author will write about it in the next arc. That family that got burned to death were truly awful. The little ghost was a brat, and the female ghost was an even bigger bitch. She should be beaten to a pulp, never to be reincarnated!

After reading dozens of chapters, the protagonist's actions seem haphazard and disjointed, resulting in a chaotic and disjointed world. The various spells and talismans are poorly explained and used inexplicably. The introduction of characters is abrupt and lacks any foreshadowing or introduction, with the author continuing to push the plot forward as if the reader already knows everything.

After reading a few chapters, I found the main character's writing to be quite poor, and the world-building felt somewhat chaotic and unclear.

Sigh, I've read five chapters. This kind of subject matter is relatively rare, the structure is good, and the writing is decent. Unfortunately, the protagonist's character drags the whole work down several levels. Perhaps the author wanted to capture the classic nonsensical humor of Hong Kong dramas from that era, but the protagonist's tendency to be witty and his numerous inner monologues don't…

I admire this kind of writing the most; it's about scholars jumping straight into the system without even understanding Taoist culture.

The protagonist's personality is too arrogant; he acts like a scoundrel. The writing is excellent, but the protagonist is really unlikable.

The Taoist priest didn't seem like a Taoist priest at all; he looked more like a supporting character in a Hong Kong movie.

I've read a few chapters, and it feels so confusing...
