New Book Recommendations: Script-Based and Transmigration Stories (Recommended: The Gold Rush Plan)
Books I personally think are pretty good and have something to say. The prose can be uneven, so feel free to skip them if that bothers you. (No, really, why do nine out of ten new books I recommend get dropped? Am I cursed or something? Sigh~) P.S. My laziness kicks in a lot. When I remember to update this list, I've often forgotten what half the books were about.

It's quite interesting. I was just thinking about it, and the three disciples are represented by greed, ignorance, and anger. The original soul should have transformed into a white dragon horse? It's related to the three corpses, but because it's broken, it's already blind. Then there's the ego that runs through the whole character. I have reason to suspect that the protagonist who transmigrated was already influenced by the ego the moment he arrived in this body.
That's interesting, but it feels like the title is holding it back. Perhaps we could crowdfund a new title?
Let me explain the settings.
Sun Wukong represents ignorance, symbolizing the obsession with becoming a Buddha; Zhu Bajie represents greed, such as gluttony and greed for wealth, and is greedy for favorable circumstances, making excessive demands; Sha Wujing represents anger, symbolizing killing, and is angry in adversity, often acting impulsively and irrationally.
Well written! It has that eerie, otherworldly feel to it. But the subject matter is different, which makes it very interesting.
What I can see is: they have the will but not the power.
As the title suggests, I personally think the author's writing style and thematic creativity are quite good, with depth and a reasonable construction of conflicts, but... The writing is indeed not very good. Having read books for over ten years (this isn't even my original account; I've included physical books from before), this is the only novel I feel has its outline dragged down by the writing…
Tang Sanzang, Sun Xingzhe, exterminate the eight realms, kill without mercy.
Historically, there was indeed only one person who embarked on the journey to the West. In Journey to the West, he cultivated himself through eighty-one tribulations: subduing his restless mind, overcoming greed, anger, and ignorance, and ultimately attaining enlightenment through enlightenment, becoming a Buddha.
The height proportions of the four main characters from the original Journey to the West plus the White Dragon Horse...
One Chinese foot in the Ming Dynasty was approximately 32 cm. Tang Sanzang is about 1.8 Meters tall. Sun Wukong is about 1.3 Meters tall. Zhu Bajie is about 3.6 Meters tall. Sha Wujing is about 3.9 Meters tall.
The image of the monk is a complete failure; it's not exciting at all. Wouldn't it be more impactful if a mad monk could turn his clothes into sticks, his fingers into rakes, and his palms into shovels to kill all the monsters while muttering things like "Heaven has a benevolent heart, Amitabha, Wukong, stop being rude"? Moreover, the Dharma Image can be written later. If it starts with Endless War God, how can it be written later?
This is insane, I don't understand it, and it's full of sanctimonious sentiments.
