Journey to the West is a massive calamity, author. At this rate, the demons will devour everyone.
If we say that the Monkey King is no longer the Great Sage, then this is like someone telling me one day that General Yue Fei wasn't a famous general who resisted the Jin dynasty, but just an ordinary farmer.
It's a bit wordy, repeating the same thing over and over again.
This book is a huge disappointment to me. First, the monkey went to cultivate immortality in order to achieve immortality. The protagonist was easily fooled by the monkey with just a few words. Is the Spiritual Stone Monkey so easy to fool? Secondly, in my mind, Sun Wukong is the fearless and invincible Great Sage Equal to Heaven, and this is how it turned out?
Let me explain.
The worldview of this book is roughly a combination of Journey to the West and the Primordial Era, as well as some of my own creative ideas. There are some differences from the mainstream system.
Even the synopsis is a mess. The book is still readable, but the synopsis is like a fool's self-indulgent rant.
Author, are you referring to Sun Wukong as the monkey you wrote about? Why didn't Houzi learn immortality? The monkey sacrificed everything for immortality, and then in just a few lines from the protagonist, the monkey stopped learning it? You've given the protagonist a huge cheat code! Even a system would have been better than the monkey not learning immortality. 😅
Something suddenly occurred to me: if the Six-Eared Macaque heard all the things the eldest brother taught him, how could he possibly have encountered another ordeal later?
I persevered until chapter 62, but ultimately I blocked the book.
"Gou Dao" (苟道) means to survive by "surviving" and mastering the Daoist arts. Only then can one have the means to survive. The novel the author writes isn't about survival; it's about being a recluse, suffering from paranoia, being overly cautious, and cowardly. The protagonist's personality is suited to modern novels, not fantasy or cultivation novels.
