The earlier parts of the story felt disrespectful to women, especially the character Li Jinbang. The protagonist was constantly preoccupied with lust. Taoist cultivation isn't something you can just do with your hands; it requires cultivating the mind. But the protagonist seemed like a scoundrel.
I really liked a line in the chapter comments, "Taking idiocy as humor," it's not funny at all. This whole thing is utter nonsense. After a dozen chapters, it doesn't matter if you're practicing Taoism or Buddhism; every profession is just a thin layer. Today you can be a novice Taoist priest, tomorrow a novice monk. After everything's over, it's all just a mess, leaving no lasting insight.
Dear readers, I originally wanted to post a separate chapter, but I was afraid that many people would leave before seeing it, so I'll explain in the comments section why the comments here are so polarized: those who like it genuinely like it, while those who don't are cursing it fiercely. The following words are for readers who don't like my character settings.
I specifically checked the latest updated chapter, and Li Jinbang is still there. The author doesn't listen to any suggestions! This character's design is problematic, yet they keep writing about him. It's truly bizarre.
I suspect the author offended the editor.
This book is passable, I guess! It's not that great, but it's not that bad either! I guess it offended some competitors, because the review section is full of negative reviews from paid trolls, and they all have 0 badges, 0 cards, 0 fans, and 0 followers!
To new readers: First, this is a humorous web novel, so don't try to fit it into any other system, because it won't fit at all. Second, the protagonist is not a saint, or even a very good person. He's just like someone who often annoys others in daily life, but it's quite funny when you think about it. So don't try to define him in a high way. Finally, congratulations on getting on the Sanjiang list.
I rarely find a novel disgusting, but this male supporting character succeeded. He's utterly despicable; even I, a guy, can't stand him, especially since the protagonist taught him to be so scummy. His values are completely warped. I couldn't bear it after chapter 7. Judging from the development, the protagonist might be the male supporting character's babysitter.
Well, the main problem with this book is the protagonist's character. If the protagonist were a wealthy second-generation heir with some skills, there wouldn't be so much criticism. It's normal for a rich second-generation heir to have some shady friends, and no one would object. But the protagonist is a Taoist priest.
It's a fantasy/martial arts story, it certainly has some ethereal charm, but there's absolutely no chivalry to be seen. It's all about cleaning up the messes of scumbags and heartless women. 😰
