After a Thousand Years of Immortality, I Suddenly Discover This Is Journey to the West

I've noticed some people claim to like Taoism, but the moment they open their mouths, they're spouting nonsense about ancient Chinese mythology and Journey to the West. They go to a Taoist temple, point at the Spirit Official and say he can't beat Sun Wukong, and point at the Three Pure Ones and say they received their teachings from Hongjun. Seriously?

😅 Has the author even read history? When Qin Shi Huang conquered the six states, it had already been a hundred or two hundred years since the Tian family usurped the Qi throne. You're talking about the Qi state still being ruled by the Jiang family? Are you kidding me?

Author, why didn't you just eliminate the clan's rebellious intentions once and for all? You're not tired of doing this over and over again? I am! If you keep doing this, there's no point in reading this novel.

The protagonist is like an idiot. He could have shown his strength and won over his people to stop him from courting death, but he just wouldn't. You keep saying you're going to play it safe, but you always end up causing more trouble. If you can't write, don't write. This kind of plot is just disgusting.

The synopsis makes the protagonist seem like a coward? Is cowardly protagonists popular now?

It's supposed to be Journey to the West, but judging by your pace, how can you even get to the Tang Dynasty in every hundred chapters? It's all rambling and drawn-out, purely padding the word count. All that you've written so far has absolutely nothing to do with what the readers want to see.

Just as I predicted, instead of using the easy methods, the protagonist insists on letting his subordinates court disaster, then preemptively does the same, using his vast experience and skill to defeat them, all under the guise of wanting a peaceful life, hoping to make them back down. This is a ten-year-old trope, long outdated. It's the era of subverting tropes now; this is truly embarrassing.

The point is to find ways to stop them from courting death, not to do it yourself. Why not just come up with a way to prevent them from doing it? For example, the moment they mention going to do something reckless, you could appear behind them masked, say it's not time yet, and knock them unconscious. There are plenty of ways; doing it for someone else just sounds awkward.

Don't tell me you've traveled a thousand years and still can't defeat Guanyin.
