The Taoist of Fog City

While I've seen plenty of steampunk and classic professional tropes, this new theme feels completely different! Advanced Western steampunk alchemists, innovative yet conservative local gangsters, and martial arts masters steeped in millennia-old traditions. In this lawless land, new ideas clash with old traditions! The flavor is instantly irresistible!

Just to clarify: In the past decade or so, many Taoist sects have emerged in North America, and the Longhushan Taoist center is said to have spread across multiple states. The majority of its followers... Are not Chinese. They are both Black and White.

Steampunk, alchemists, traditional Taoist priests, martial artists, vampires, zombies, and classic Hong Kong films. This book is arguably a superb Frankenstein's monster, but technically superb, written naturally, and reminiscent of classic Hong Kong cinema. Different ideas collide and intertwine here. #New Book Preview# Keywords: Taoist priest, steampunk, time travel Rating: ★★★★☆

It's set in Hong Kong, so why is it called "The Taoist Priest of the Fog City"? At first glance, the title made me think it was set in London.

The beginning had a bit of a steampunk feel, but later it turned into a gang war. Moreover, every time a villain appears, regardless of whether the protagonist's strength has increased, they are always at a disadvantage. A Taoist priest doesn't possess many Taoist techniques; he uses a variety of miscellaneous skills and "intelligent" techniques.

Prosthetics are a major taboo for practitioners; having incomplete limbs is considered a serious offense.

It would be better to change the title to "Transmigration: I'm Evenly Matched with Everyone," as it lacks any coherent structure and is completely chaotic.

If all I hear is that the ancient order of the East has been lost, I lose interest in reading further.

It's not a Hong Kong variety show, not cyberpunk, not eerie, not steampunk—it touches on everything but doesn't resemble anything at all. No wonder it feels so awkward.

Metal prosthetics are really out of place. These things require high-level energy, small size and high energy level, otherwise how can they be installed on the body to replace human body to work? People can't carry gasoline and coal with them, can they?
