Folk Taboos: Beginning in Nanyang

Writing about the supernatural in Southeast Asia is a very niche genre. I've only read two or three books on it! "Ten Years of Gu Poisoning in Southeast Asia: The People Revere Me Like a God" was pretty good! Will this book depict the customs of other regions? For example, Japan, Goguryeo, the Western Regions, Tibet, etc.? It could also feature numerous unorthodox methods battling against the Central Plains sects—that would be very interesting! 😏

The premise is good (the author certainly knows more about Southeast Asian customs than I do), but the plot progression feels a bit forced. The writing is mediocre; readable but difficult to follow.

This style is somewhat similar to another book.

He served as the national advisor for decades in Nichkhun's life, and then came out of the dungeon knowing nothing about this or that; his knowledge couldn't compare to those two young people.

After chapter 80, the writing got worse and worse, as if a different person had written it.

Those heretical practitioners from Southeast Asia need to be severely disciplined using Tantric Buddhism.

I seriously suspect the author is the reincarnated old man from "Ten Years of Gu Refining in Southeast Asia".

Having read this far, the premise is actually quite good. Perhaps the author is a novice, but the first thing that deterred me was the old herbalist who joined the town's spirit and threatened the protagonist. People who practice these kinds of tricks, frankly, deal with ghosts all the time.

After reading more than twenty chapters, it seems the main character's primary role in the dungeons is to hold the team back.

Although the story is a niche story with some minor flaws, the writing is good, the atmosphere is great, and it shouldn't have only this many readers.
