Journey to the West: Beginning at White Tiger Ridge

Let's discuss the relationship and differences between Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods. Journey to the West usually refers to the fantasy novel written by Wu Cheng'en in the Ming Dynasty. There are many versions of Journey to the West, which were extremely popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and there are even many Yuan Dynasty operas.

After reading over a hundred chapters, my biggest feeling is that I don't like Yuan Tong. Yes, I don't like this character. The majority of readers in the comments section agree that the main character, Yuan Tong, is not well-developed and is not likable. To be honest, you have absolutely no charm.

That's good. He became a demon but doesn't eat meat; his resolve to follow the Dao is quite strong. Then he saw several snake women bathing and couldn't even take a step, yet he was still showing off his literary talent. Trash.

The protagonist is portrayed as utterly useless. He's lived for decades, including his past and present lives, and is still stuck in this monster's den, showing absolutely no improvement. You were discovered in a hot spring and tried to run away, but you couldn't move your whole body.

The most disgusting part was the snake demon storyline! It's truly unique that someone can simultaneously antagonize fans of pure love, harem, and playboy themes. First of all, pure love. Goodness, he's flirting with a snake demon who has no ethics or morals and has been ridden countless times, kissing her lips. 6!

The writing is nonsensical. If the protagonist's earlier slacking off was due to a lack of hope and a dead end, it would be somewhat understandable. But knowing that the pilgrimage team was coming, he was full of confidence. But when he encountered the Corpse Demon, why did he show a look of dejection and waiting for death? This can still be explained.

Pure Journey to the West is not bad, but what I hate most is when it includes elements of the Primordial Era and the Investiture of the Gods.

I don't understand what's wrong with eating meat. How can eating meat affect your cultivation? If you don't eat human flesh, then you don't eat fish or animal meat either. How can you be so picky about food? Tigers don't eat meat, they eat fruits and wild vegetables, you're really something! Animals are life to you, but plants are not.

I dropped it after the first chapter; a demon that doesn't eat people.

This overly sentimental, pretentious writing is disgusting; please tone it down! The protagonist is also like a good-for-nothing, showing no growth whatsoever over decades; I can't stand watching it.
