A Chinese Exchange Student at Hogwarts

Africa has its own unique magic, and India has its own magic carpet. There's no reason why it should be exactly the same as Britain's when it comes to the East, right? Those who bring up Shenzhou III are really ridiculous. Rowling is a typical nationalist, which is fine; she can write whatever she wants in her books. In her books, Britain is the center of everything.

I hope there's no female lead; I'm really starting to dislike Hermione as the female lead (this is just my personal opinion). And the author writes really well!! I almost didn't click on the book because of the title. It feels like the most logically consistent book I've ever read that blends Eastern and Western elements in the Hogwarts setting!

If the author finishes writing this book, it will bring about an epic change to the entire Harry Potter novel world—just like the neighbor's "A Bite of Hogwarts," becoming a lasting legend—that's my conclusion. Undoubtedly, the author put a lot of effort into writing this book—Taoism, as an indigenous Chinese religion, is indeed a very good entry point.

The later parts are really a mess. I'd rather the author hadn't written anything at all and just abandoned the story altogether than it is now. Some parts give off a kind of aesthetically pleasing feeling, like opening a supermarket along the Long March.

The beginning was quite good, and the integration with the East was relatively natural, basically achieving logical consistency. But the recent attempts to whitewash the Dursleys and the creation of a church that Dudley was allowed to join are really hard to accept... In the original books, Harry's reaction to the Dursleys' actions was at most a matter of letting go or moving on, not forgiveness.

When the author writes, they shouldn't elevate the power system too much. Things like cultivating immortality would be strange. However, traditional folk customs can be added, such as feng shui, talisman drawing, raising ghosts, and zombies. They can refer to the old-fashioned Maoshan Taoist masters and feng shui masters from Qidian.com.

First, my initial impression: it's enjoyable (except for the part about challenging the Aurors in front of the stadium). The book's world-building has some originality; the early parts are still within the Harry Potter universe, but later on... Well, I won't comment on that. The author is very dedicated, filling in every plot hole, which is great.

To be honest, the author had a lot of ideas, but it was really frustrating to read. Later on, it clearly lost control and started running rampant, with elements like the church, mold, and modern weapons—it seemed to want everything but didn't manage to weave them together well. The parts after fourth grade were truly unreadable.

I read two chapters, and wow... The mortal protagonist who can dodge the Killing Curse multiple times, oh, he thinks the Killing Curse moves like a tortoise... And then he can kill a Death Eater wizard with a single shot, and the wizard doesn't even know it's a pistol. I'm speechless... Such a weak read.

Well, I don't know what to say, so I'll just talk about why I like this book. When I was little, I read J. K. Rowling's original books, and I wondered, if the West has magic, what about the Taoist arts of our ancient Eastern country? Which is stronger? Since then, I've occasionally looked for Harry Potter fanfiction, and finally found this book a few months ago. I've read quite a few Harry Potter fanfics in the meantime, but this one perfectly matches my imagination, so I highly recommend it! 👍
