Interesting Souls
A lot of really fun novels never get much attention and then suddenly get abandoned. It's a shame. I tend to clear out my bookshelf, so I'm saving them here as keepsakes. Overall, they're lighthearted comedies. After all, I read to relax. (I personally prefer novels with no heroine or just one heroine.)

I initially thought he was a free-spirited, rebellious monk, but then he suddenly became a saint, leading me to believe he'd try his best to save them, and if not, he'd accept it calmly. I never expected him to be so desperate for a few mortals. That's too cruel.
I want to read articles about monks who truly possess great wisdom, intelligence, compassion, and benevolence—the kind of monks who cultivate themselves from childhood to Buddhahood, not like many who are just pretenders who break vows and return to secular life from the very beginning of their monastic life, which is utterly meaningless.
The story started falling apart from Lingshan, and the plot has been going downhill ever since. The author just broke out of the mold and then jumped right back down. The author probably thinks readers prefer this kind of frivolous monk, but I can only say that you really don't understand your readers. Goodbye.
The Lingshan section was a disaster. All the previous Buddhist spirit vanished. Like the story of Rotten Axe Handle, the ethereal quality disappeared.
The subject matter is interesting, but the plot is not good. The restrictions on breaking the precepts are too great, which makes people speechless. If you are afraid of your master, then don't break the precepts. You have broken so many precepts. Do you think Fahai is stupid? Even if someone has great magical powers, they're not stupid. If you want to break the rules, you might as well do it openly and honestly. Don't try to have your cake and eat it too.
Let me share my thoughts. The biggest taboo in monk-themed novels is having a female lead. People come to read about a monk, and you add a female lead? Wouldn't it be better to just read a cultivation novel? The female lead storylines there are much more engaging. Secondly, even if you're determined to renounce your vows, there are time constraints.
Let's skip the female lead if the protagonist is a monk. Female leads in cultivation novels are already prone to being portrayed as mere decorative figures or burdens, let alone a monk as the main character.
Since you're a monk, write about what a monk should do. It's meaningless to just use the title of monk to create a contrast.
The opening chapter is full of conduits; I almost wanted to report it.
I'm from another world, just reserving a spot. I'll be a veteran from now on! 😜
