Becoming a Disciple of Bajie

Having read more than half of it, to put it simply, this book is a classic example of double standards: "The magistrate is allowed to set fires, but the common people are forbidden even to light lamps." In short, other people's mistakes are always seen as mistakes, while one's own are attributed to immortality.

Dear author, could you please write a Journey to the West without any conspiracy theories in your next book? In this book, the pilgrimage there is meant to guide people towards goodness; Lao Tzu created the world there; Nuwa is also an incarnation of Lao Tzu; Sun Wukong is just an ordinary silicon-based monkey; and the Jade Emperor is not useless but a transcendent being who has cultivated…

I've seen many fantasy and ancient world novels where people claim to seek immortality and abstain from women. I want to ask, if seeking immortality means not liking women, what's the point of that kind of immortality?

I dropped the book after reading Chapter 96. The protagonist has questionable values. He goes to the Dragon Palace uninvited and wanders around aimlessly. When he encounters the Dragon Girl, his first reaction is to kill her to silence her. After finally having a change of heart and abandoning his murderous thoughts, he goes to the Turtle Prime Minister's study to steal things, with the excuse that "if you don't take what Heaven has given you, you will suffer the consequences."

The protagonist's personality is like that of a lunatic!

This protagonist can be summed up in one word: greedy. Insatiable greed, a greed devoid of reason, as if he has no brains.

Am I seeing things wrong? Why is it that towards the end, they don't mention Pigsy at all? After the journey to the West is over, the master-disciple relationship with Pigsy becomes increasingly blurred. There are so many powerful figures later on, but it's not like they'd completely ignore Pigsy. Also, I didn't understand the later part. Pigsy said he severed his three corpses and no longer recognized the protagonist as his disciple. I don't quite understand this part.

The writing style is too plain, and the plot and character portrayals are too immature.

If given the chance to become an apprentice, Pigsy would definitely be my first choice. First, I'd learn the art of fierce combat, then the 36 Transformations.

How did it become 5 stars? I remember it was only 1 star a few days ago.
