A Thousand Demons Slain in Strange Tales

Originally titled "The Swift Blade of Liaozhai," it has now been changed to "The Thousand Demon Slayer of Liaozhai." To be honest, I think these two names are really low-class. (˃᷄˶˶̫˶˂᷅) Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio was written by Pu Songling. Pu Songling had a teahouse called "Zhai," where people drank tea for free and were only told strange and unusual stories, called "Liao."

I think marrying the young widow is enough; don't do anything else.

The comments section is flooded with praise. Putting everything else aside, the first few chapters alone are incredibly saccharine. My comment might be deleted soon, but I wanted to say it anyway.

This is one of the few times I've supported a novel author. Judging from the first few chapters, this work shows a high level of skill. The writing is concise and fluent, the expression is clear, and the characters are vividly portrayed. I hope the author will keep up the good work, continue to improve, and create even better works.

**A great book, really good. The characters are vividly portrayed, the plot is coherent and engaging, lively and exciting. The story of Fu Sheng, the master swordsman from *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio*, comes alive. A principled protagonist who yearns for family and possesses superb swordsmanship leaps off the page. (Don't attack me, I'm just speaking my mind.)

Ah, I thought it was a thousand monsters...

Are you trying to write the protagonist as a saint? He's so poor he's killing people, yet he still won't take the jade doll. Would someone who can't even afford meat once a year really throw animal carcasses off a cliff? And he refuses all the rewards and gold! He's practically saying he'll hand it over to the state! The content is good, but the details and character immersion are terrible!

Honestly, indigenous languages ​​are bound to flop. Reading a novel is about immersion; how can you immerse yourself if there's absolutely nothing in common? Keep this book for yourself.

While I don't particularly dislike Ma Qingshuang, she's not exactly a good character... Why keep giving her more screen time...? And it's really jarring that a commoner would act this way towards imperial power. Given the historical context, it's hard to understand why a commoner wouldn't show any fear or deference towards the emperor, but instead actively speak the truth. So far, this character is unlikable and meaningless, a slight failure.

The protagonist is the same as the one with the innate staff.
