Yunjian's Second Reading List
I recommend novels that have their own internal logic, make you feel something as you read, and leave you thinking they're worth a look. 🔥 I think the following count as xianxia too 🔥 Ordinary People Are Truly Immortal by Guang An Zhi Xin Infinite Shan Hai Mirror Flower Fate by Yuan Zifu I Might Be a Fake Immortal by Mingyue Dishangshuang Great Adventures in the Animated World by Qiong Si The Buddhist Wanderer by Shanhe Wang Immortals Just Want to Get Off Work is pretty good too. It deals with

In my personal opinion, the Heavenly Court in Journey to the West isn't inherently bad; in fact, most of its actions are reasonable and largely maintain order in the Three Realms. While the law enforcement organization inevitably lacks some human touch, a closer look at what Sun Wukong did reveals it to be the work of terrorists: burglary (in the Dragon Palace), disruption of the cycle of…
It's a good film, but the main character is too timid and hesitant. He finally arrives at Flower Fruit Mountain, and the moment he hears the Monkey King is coming down, he jumps around in alarm. Didn't he prepare for the worst before coming? His sudden panic at the last minute really feels... Unpleasant.
The writing style is alright, but the tone is a bit depressing, which isn't good. The author's writing is a constant cycle of feuds and grudges, with the hearts of humans, ghosts, and demons constantly shifting and unpredictable. This isn't a typical 2012 urban fantasy novel, a pretentious revenge story. Let's see some exploration of immortality and some more enjoyable writing.
Another story that turns cultivation into a gangster tale. It's based on Journey to the West, but doesn't follow the rules of the Journey to the West world, creating its own entirely new setting. Remove the Journey to the West background, and it's just a gangster-driven cultivation story. A bit disappointing 😔
Actually, the Monkey King is a complete weakling. 🤓 The irrefutable proof is that he boasted that his golden cudgel could shatter stones and leave marks on cast iron, but in reality, he was just bragging. When he attacked the Crouching Tiger Stone with the Yellow Wind Demon, he was hit by a recoil and his hand hurt... 🤭 Therefore, the strongest defense in Journey to the West...
The five immortals in Journey to the West—Heaven, Earth, Human, God, and Ghost—are referring to directions of cultivation, not realms of cultivation, right? The most basic setting is wrong, isn't it?
In the original Journey to the West, Sun Wukong is a monster who deserves to be torn to pieces and die without any regrets, as do Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the White Dragon Horse.
With his lack of mental fortitude, willpower, and courage, the protagonist is utterly useless in the pursuit of immortality and the Dao.
It's too depressing; reality is hard enough.
The writing style is too depressing... And it likes to write about fighting monsters much stronger than itself... And the protagonist is a traditional character...
