Mythic Tales of the Strange: Starting with Puppet Arts

The concept is good, but the author seems to lack knowledge of ancient Chinese customs. They have no idea how powerful the protagonist is—a scholar, a wealthy merchant, and an uncle who is a county magistrate. He's practically a local tyrant, rich, talented, and influential—able to act with impunity, at most putting on a show of authority.

Actually, this book is alright except for its slow pace. If you don't believe me, go read the author's previous book, where the protagonist dies from poisoning in chapter 28. In short, I hope the author's writing gets better and better!

After writing for so long and dragging it out for so long, it still ended up being solved by deus ex machina. Of course, if the author just wanted to finish a novel that satisfied himself, that's another story. I can only say that reading the first part of the story wasn't very enjoyable. The story and writing style were okay, but it just wasn't satisfying.

You cut it as soon as you saw it? You cut it at the starting point and still pushed it?

The script is good, but fifty taels of silver? Has the author even considered that? Silver is worth over three yuan per gram now, so fifty taels is worth over six thousand yuan. In ancient times, silver was worth a thousand times more! Hundreds of thousands, even millions—the author must be incredibly wealthy.

Before he could even begin his cultivation journey, he sacrificed his younger sister and personal servant.

It's quite creative, but short and weak.

According to your logic, if someone with strong attachments dies, they become a cat. Then even if they're a cat, what kind of person would they be? Those without attachments either achieve enlightenment and become Buddhas or saints, or they've already kicked the bucket.

Why did you change your name? By the way: the author is cross-dressing 😏

It was completed right after I added it to the bookshelf, that's amazing!
