A Gathering Place for Readers with Nothing to Read!
In this vast sea of people, you may never know me, and I may never know you. But we can laugh together and get angry together over the same passage or story. That's a wonderful thing. We meet through books, and our connections are born from them. Is it books that bring us together, or society that keeps us apart? I don't know, and it doesn't matter. Still, it's a shame when good books go undiscovered. Some are written quite well but have few readers, buried in a vast sea of books. That's why I m

Let's just reward them with the Dao Fruit of Sainthood.
I can understand if an ordinary person would panic upon seeing a very bad fortune slip, but why would Empress Zhangsun be so horrified upon seeing one? You could say she frowned slightly, or that she looked worried, or whatever, but do you think it's possible for an Empress Zhangsun who wears her heart on her sleeve? P.
After reading a few chapters and looking at some of the chapter titles, I understand why the book flopped. The genre it was writing was already niche. The author even followed the current mainstream approach of writing a low-key story. However, while constantly saying the protagonist should develop discreetly, he was also frequently showing off in public and achieving incredible feats, making it…
This author doesn't seem very bright. Chapter 1 gives the protagonist a cheat code, rewarding him with 30 years of internal energy, and then he breaks through two minor realms. 30 Years only to advance two levels, and those are still relatively basic realms. Then in Chapter 3, the protagonist uses 300 years of martial arts power to smash a hundred-zhang "giant rock" to pieces with a single palm strike. What the hell? A giant rock? That's a mountain!
I read a few chapters, but I didn't want to continue. Whether it's historical fact or the mythological setting of Journey to the West, Buddhism truly had no standing in the early Tang Dynasty. The fact that a Buddhist temple was converted into a monastery is a premise of Journey to the West; does this mean the Three Pure Ones were no longer capable of wielding their swords, or that Buddha had become arrogant?
The locusts caught in the locust plague are not edible. When locusts live in swarms, they secrete cyanide, which decomposes into hydrocyanic acid, a highly toxic substance. They are not pesticides.
Doesn't anyone find it strange? I glanced at the synopsis, and it says a devout monk, so determined to embark on a solitary journey to the West to retrieve Buddhist scriptures, asks a Taoist priest for a fortune stick before leaving? I'm completely baffled. Can someone who has read the book explain it to me?
I couldn't take it anymore. Every chapter, every event, follows the same formula, the same explanation, the same bad luck. I could tolerate that, but the protagonist never knows how strong he really is. Others pretend to be weak to outsmart others, but you're a tiger turning into a real pig!
I couldn't keep going after reading more than ten chapters 😂
Maybe the later parts will be better, but I really can't hold on any longer 😅. Leaving aside the scene where three hundred years of internal energy shatters a hundred-zhang boulder (one chi in the Sui and Tang dynasties was 0.267M, and one zhang was 10 chi), and the scene where a 200-meter-high mountain is shattered with a single palm strike, followed by the scene where a sword is used to slice a…
