I guarantee I've read every book here. I just want to recommend books quietly. I don't recommend everything, either. It depends on my mood. My bookshelf has several times as many books as this list. I remove books from time to time to make room for new ones. Most of us read novels for a few basic reasons: the thrills, or to pass the time. Since we're reading to pass the time, we shouldn't demand too much realism. But in these fictional worlds, we put ourselves in the protagonist's shoes. So no m

This book is really good. It's the first book with a monk protagonist that I could actually read. You can tell the author put a lot of effort into it, researching extensively and covering many obscure Buddhist classics. The characters are vividly portrayed, and although the plot jumps around a bit, the transitions are very smooth. There are also plenty of exciting moments. It's one of the best books in recent issues of Sanjiang.
If it's supposed to be a fantasy drama, then it takes two months for someone to travel a thousand miles. If it's supposed to be a martial arts drama, then it's full of special effects... It's really jarring to watch.
There are a total of 10 levels of the Heavenly Realm. In chapter 26, the protagonist, at only level 2 of the Heavenly Realm, brutally beats the Innate Realm, which is incredibly powerful. Even if it's a cheat code, it shouldn't be this overpowered! You could at least write about level 6 or 8 of the Heavenly Realm. Where's the logic? This writing style is clearly from ten years ago.
The biggest problem is that initially, in order to suppress the protagonist, their own sect didn't have many powerful skills, and the protagonist didn't learn many either. Later, they found a whole bunch of powerful skills outside, and it's unclear how their own sect survived with such low-level skills.
I never expected the protagonist to reach the Innate Realm! I thought he'd wait until the end of the story, hundreds of chapters before reaching the Innate Realm, then crush those Dao-proving Saints and such, and finally destroy the Heavenly Dao, changing the rules of heaven and earth to make the Innate Realm the most powerful. I never imagined the protagonist would abandon the Innate Realm! My youth is over!
Can you give me a straight answer about whether there's a female lead? I personally dislike stories about monks having female leads. If there is, I'm leaving. Don't drag it out.
Seeing that there's not much interest in this book, I wanted to share my thoughts. The author's concept is quite novel and interesting, which is what attracted me to it. However, the plot is... Questionable. Let me give you a few examples. Take the women from Xiangzhu Valley (is that the name?). From their first appearance until now, all I've seen is the word "decorative vase."
It's well-written. Although some theories are still quite different from Buddhism, it's a novel after all, so some modifications are understandable. It has a certain flavor to it. Finally, I personally hope there's no female lead; a female lead is much better!
This is a story about a monk, so please don't include a female lead. Don't turn it into a story about a happy monk.
