A Bookworm’s Smorgasbord
A laid-back list maker who updates whenever the mood strikes. I'll gradually add new books and revise my comments on existing ones. Feel free to drop by often. I'm an older reader with eclectic tastes. I read male- and female-oriented fiction, cultivation, fantasy, historical romance, magic, family intrigue, sci-fi, farming stories, anime-inspired fiction... pretty much anything. Rather than following new books as they come out, I prefer the satisfaction of reading a whole story in one go. So

Speechless, you have to pay after it's listed.
Let me explain Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun.
Some readers have raised questions, but actually, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and Taiyi Zhenren are not the same person. Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun is one of the Four Emperors, also known as the Eastern Azure Emperor, holding a very high position. Yuanshi Tianzun once praised him as the most honored, noble, holy, and efficacious.
I really can't help but criticize your introduction. In Journey to the West, demons and monsters are terms for those with impure intentions. Monks and Taoists with impure intentions are also called demonic monks or demonic Taoists, and these kinds of people are basically destined to be overthrown. Those who aren't human are usually called spirits. How can you categorize yourself as being on the dark side?
Is there a female lead?
There's a lot of writing about the dragon, but the protagonist's brother has almost no screen time.
Even the Nine-Headed Lion could only be a mount; how could an ordinary demon dare to dream of climbing up to such a powerful figure?
Currently, it seems like the dragon was just written in there, and we can't see what specific function it has.
The author has a question: If you enable anti-theft measures, what are we supposed to watch?
Beautiful! Beautiful!
The female lead is just so-so. There's nothing wrong with having a condiment on the path to immortality, but for someone hundreds of years old to act like a child and need the protagonist to coax them after encountering an opportunity is a bit much.
Honestly, I don't care which god is superior or inferior. I just hope the author can create a complete setting in this novel, whether it's traditional mythology, Journey to the West, or the prehistoric era.
The world-building is based on the original Journey to the West novel. The Heavenly Venerable's statement that the only path to immortality is the Golden Elixir is incorrect. In the original Journey to the West, the best path to immortality is through eating fruits: ginseng fruit and peaches of immortality.
