In Search of the Avici Hell

Does anyone else check the character rankings before reading a story, and immediately drop it if there are more than two female characters?

It's incredibly rare these days to find something that doesn't plagiarize Cthulhu or mysterious resurrections. And it's very well written! That's truly rare! Well, in my humble opinion, there should be fewer female characters, or at least not every woman should throw herself at the protagonist; that's a bit cliché.

I saw an ad on Bilibili and got really into it, so I came to check it out.

Firstly, this book draws upon Eastern and Western myths, legends, and historical records. Millions of years ago, Emperor Ku's schemes ensured the Six Paths of Reincarnation were correctly aligned, with everyone finding their proper place and fulfilling their duties. The protagonist collects all of Chi You's armor as a thread to complete his mission.

The plot got increasingly drawn out as it went on, and the ending felt rushed and somewhat bizarre. So, the protagonist was just there to have a child and die for the male lead? And the finale just showed the male lead constantly farting? It felt like being halfway through taking a dump 😅

Yun inexplicably started having a harem; I really can't be bothered to criticize the romance plot. But putting the romance aside, the book is still okay, although some parts are a bit forced, like the part where the Watcher also falls for the male lead at the end. Reading the character introductions, I thought it would be a pure romance, since it only mentioned the female lead as "Little Crazy.

Ah Yun ventured alone into the Black Stone Gate of the Queen Mother of the West.

This book should be published in physical form; the high-brow image of Qidian doesn't quite match its quality.

I've watched this twice, and now I'm listening to it a second time. I really think the world-building and overall framework are excellent, but the harem element in the later episodes really deviates from the suspense and adventure plot... It's just acceptable. The second part is even more outrageous, it's all harem sex, like they can't write a book without women. After reading it, all I wanted to do was curse.

I saw your book being highly recommended on Douyin (TikTok), and after reading it, I found it to be truly amazing. The author's knowledge is incredibly broad and extensive.
