Demon Hunters of the Dream of the Red Chamber and Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

Cultivating immortality requires focused cultivation; women are completely unnecessary for achieving immortality. Once you become an immortal, what fairy wouldn't you want?

After leaving the capital, starting from the inn, the quality plummeted; the protagonist seemed to change instantly. The worst part is the protagonist's suffering; no wonder a Dream of the Red Chamber fanfiction written like this can't possibly be popular. The earlier chapters were actually quite good, but then it just turned into a studio's run-of-the-mill production. I'm dropping this book.

When will we take Qin Keqing as our disciple? We could even have her enter the Daoist path and learn its arts, so she could become our Daoist partner. As the most beautiful woman in the Dream of the Red Chamber, it would be a shame not to take her in.

Having reached Chapter 30, well, the supporting characters and various extras are actually better written, at least to a decent standard. But the protagonist... Aside from being self-righteous and delusional, he acts like a complete idiot. His feelings for Qin Keqing are purely lustful; he never considers what right he has to interfere in her life, nor does he ever think about the extent of harm…

It's extremely toxic. The protagonist is a hypocrite. He's off-putting from the start. He has no cultivation techniques or skills, and relies on the Taoist scriptures from his past life and his cheat codes. He saves the Qin family without asking for a reward, but only asks for a useless promise of the future. He saves them once, but they don't acknowledge the promise, so he saves them again.

Putting everything else aside, from beginning to end, there's never any mention of what the protagonist did before transmigrating. He inexplicably knows all sorts of incantations and can recite long passages effortlessly. Aside from being a Taoist priest, who would memorize so many incantations and draw talismans for no reason?

What's the situation with the female lead in this book? Is it a single female lead, multiple female leads, or no female lead at all?

The story isn't entirely satisfying, but it certainly makes a lot of people uncomfortable.

While it was still developing, a shadowy demon resembling Cthulhu suddenly appeared, giving off a very strange feeling. 😅

A perfectly good cultivation novel would be fine, but they had to add some Cthulhu element, and he's cursed to be constantly attacked by evil gods. What kind of garbage is this? It's disgusting.
