Strange Tales of the Tang Dynasty: Beginning at Gao Village

Even with living conditions this harsh, where people die every now and then, to live to a ripe old age and die peacefully is to receive immense good fortune, a blessing for generations. Why hasn't the human race gone extinct? Those who write about bizarre worlds have really lost their minds; they don't even consider the population problem.

I've read all 33 chapters, and the protagonist is still portrayed as an idiot...

The "idiot" persona is boring; I wonder when they'll change it.

The first half of the synopsis was great, but the second half wasn't my type, so I didn't get hooked. I don't like harem novels.

The author writes well; they have a talent for writing novels and could easily become a civil servant on Qidian.com.

Your cheat-like ability makes the protagonist seem a bit incompetent. One point of evil energy can add 10 points to attributes; you spend so much time practicing your cultivation techniques, investing over ten points, and then the average increase in your three attributes is only two or three points.

Other people's cultivation techniques require amputation before practice, but the protagonist cuts off his own hands and feet just to cultivate—what kind of brain does that? He talks about a limb-regenerating pill! You believe that? You believe it when it says "immortality water" on paraquat? You believe it when it says giving yourself a bullet will make you invincible?

Is this the end of the story? It was quite well-written.

I don't want to watch anymore if they keep pretending to be stupid; it's such a boring formula.

I don't understand the point of continuing to play dumb. Now that he's heard the old man's intentions, why not take advantage of the opportunity to get better with the help of the two monks at the Guanyin Temple? Why keep pretending? Is he really addicted to playing dumb?
