Fantasy novels, despite their significant impact, have always been criticized by the cultural circle for their literary properties and value orientations...
So cultural bigwigs praise certain detective novels for their excellent writing.
So cultural bigwigs praise certain short stories for their excellent writing.
But, no cultural bigwigs ever praise a fantasy novel for its excellent writing, because compared to other genres, fantasy novels have a really low pretentiousness level.
Looking at the disdain hierarchy, they are only better than internet literature on Earth.
But at this mont, the forr president of Literature and Art Association, a bigwig among bigwigs in the cultural circle!
He personally endorsed "Journey to the West"!
For the realm of fantasy…
This is the first-ever instance!
Like a drop of water accidentally falling into boiling oil.
The internet, which had been quiet for a whole day, exploded in boiling agitation!
"I thought I was opening up an exciting fantasy novel, but when I finished, I realized that I had opened a contemporary masterpiece of the highest order!"
"Who the hell dares to say that The Primordial Chaos is the number one present-day myth, I will smash their head for them!"
"A novel that all n will like, from Sun Wukong’s return from apprenticeship, it’s high-energy and passionately surging throughout. The Great Sage rides a colorful auspicious cloud with seventy-two changes up his sleeve, stirring up East Sea, disturbing Underworld and Heaven, and making friends with demon kings.
His body is as tough as mysterious iron, his eyes burning with fiery golden eyes, reading it made my blood boil and emotions swirl!"
"Won like it too, okay. Sun Wukong is too perfect, kind yet rebellious, smart and capable of fighting. I want a boyfriend just like Sun Wukong right now, and have a little monkey from the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit!"
"I think this is Chu Kuang’s best work, the absolute peak of his career. It feels like his entire life has been condensed into this Journey to the West. Life is simpler than Journey to the West, you can pack your bags and return ho like Bajie does; life is also more difficult than Journey to the West, without the help extended by Guanyin."
"Seeing the monkey being suppressed for five hundred years really hurts my heart, so when he bounced out, I also jumped up with him!"
"The first few rounds were indeed high-energy, but there is also a deeper expression. Even a monkey born from the fossil of the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit feels birth, aging, sickness, and death like a human. He is wreaking havoc in the underworld and heaven, but he is fighting against his natural limitations — that is, lack of freedom. When we were young, we were also impulsive like this.
No matter how many sorsaults we make, how many circles we make, how to train our body to be strong, in the end, we return to the long road of fetching scriptures."
"Seeing the promotional picture of Sun Wukong by Silver Blue Books, I just felt that Shadow’s drawing skills were strong, but after reading ’Journey to the West’ the picture of the Monkey King being surrounded by the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals made feel like my blood had frozen.
This is a solitary hero who is positive and optimistic despite the punishnt and hardship he faces for his unyielding spirit, making people couldn’t help but love him."
"This book by Chu Kuang is absolutely terrifying!"
"His rich imagination and diverse expressions seem to be for this one book, after finishing Journey to the West I was thoroughly awed. Compared to this book, I suddenly feel The Primordial Chaos to be nothing special."
"Sun Wukong vividly illustrated what it ans ’I control my own destiny’!"
"..."
After reading the book, ninety-nine percent of readers will like Sun Wukong!
Similarly.
Most of the comnts revolve around Sun Wukong!
Of course.
There are also discussions about other characters.
Such as Tang Monk.
However, the comnts about Tang Monk are not so friendly:
"The classic trio of Tang Monk: visual responsibility, yelping cries, rebuking his disciple. If I were Sun Wukong, I wouldn’t wait for him to chant the Tight-fillet Spell, I would have beaten him to death a long ti ago."
"Tang Monk obviously favors Zhu Bajie, because of Sun Wukong’s innate rebellious spirit."
"Apart from Tang Monk’s attachnt to Buddha, I really can’t agree with the rest, he’s timid and loves to shirk responsibility."
"The images of the master and disciples are too vivid, and that’s why everyone dislikes Tang Monk."
"To the Monkey King, Tang Monk is a burden, although the Monkey King himself doesn’t think so, this is exactly what makes the Monkey King so charming."
"Life is a long and hard road to enlightennt, but even if you are as weak as Tang Monk, you can still reach the end."
"..."
However, so people have noticed the advantages of the pale-faced monk:
"Although every ti Tang Monk is caught, he cries like a pustule, but he would continue his journey to the west once he escapes from the demon’s grasp, he never complains, he never looks back."
In addition, Zhu Bajie also encountered many discussions.
This character did not face one-sided criticism.
Although this pig loves food and is lazy, and frequently wants to pack up and leave, physically demonstrating to everyone what makes a qualified pig teammate...
So people analyzed the reason:
"Probably because we all long to be like Sun Wukong, but in reality, many people have reluctantly beco Zhu Bajie."
What about Monk Sha?
The presence of Monk Sha is like that of the White Dragon Horse.
Even less significant than the White Dragon Horse.
The White Dragon Horse is a mode of transportation.
Monk Sha is a manual laborer.
One is a tool horse, the other a tool man.
Although Zhu Bajie also carries loads when he’s free.
No matter how they discuss it, everyone’s overall opinion is the sa:
The entire "Journey to the West" is Chu Kuang letting his brilliance flow everywhere, a transcendental masterpiece created by the collision of imagination and talent!
Not only readers!
Even so great authors in the realm of fantasy novels and the absolute top authors were blown away!
"I thought ’Ghost Blows Out the Light’ would be Chu Kuang’s peak until I read Journey to the West and found out how wrong I was. This novel will probably beco the ceiling of fantasy novels in the future!"
——Fantasy GOAT Li Zhenghui
"It’s the original Blue Star mythology. The gods, monsters, and strange beings are written to the full, this is the best mythology ever!"
——Fantasy GOAT Drifting Cloud
"Challenged myself and painstakingly read the classical Chinese version of ’Journey to the West’. I want to say sothing to all the fans of The Primordial Chaos, Silver Blue Books’ promotion was not accurate. Journey to the West is not on par with The Primordial Chaos, it surpasses The Primordial Chaos!"
——GOAT Antarctica (pen na)
"The perfect combination of literary and artistic value is achieved in ’Journey to the West’. This book is enough to make Chu Kuang compete for supremacy."
—— The Supre God rcury
Many GOATs have stepped forward!
Before reading ’Journey to the West’, Chu Kuang was attacked by the devotees of The Primordial Chaos, these GOATs dared not speak up, even in their hearts they felt that Chu Kuang’s new book could not be compared with The Primordial Chaos.
But after reading ’Journey to the West’, these GOATs and even the Supre Gods all stood firm!
They all ca to the sa conclusion:
’Journey to the West’ is even more extraordinary than The Primordial Chaos!
At this mont, the followers of The Primordial Chaos were silent.
Although they did not want to admit it, for various reasons, many fans of The Primordial Chaos have also purchased and read ’Journey to the West’.
Their personal reading experience, along with these voices online, made them feel increasingly uncomfortable.
But still, a few remained unconvinced.
The literary accomplishnt of The Primordial Chaos series is profound!
However, soon an expert who thoroughly read the ancient version of ’Journey to the West’ compared the rits and derits of the two novels from various angles.

The final conclusion is:
The literary foundation of ’Journey to the West’, the poems and songs within it, are absolutely not inferior to The Primordial Chaos series!

There are quite a few readers who have this kind of appraisal ability.
Even the stubborn fans of The Primordial Chaos had to reluctantly admit that Chu Kuang’s ancient version of ’Journey to the West’ is indeed artistic.
At this mont.
Another follower of The Primordial Chaos couldn’t help but retort:
"Even if we admit that Chu Kuang’s writing is impressive, how can it cover up the fact that this is fundantally a fantasy adventure story of teacher-student relationships, and a comrcially successful story with a happy ending? Can it match the various taphors in The Primordial Chaos series? You don’t know how profound so of the stories in The Primordial Chaos are!"
The Primordial Chaos is not just about chaos.
The existence of The Primordial Chaos Research Association in this world is due to the intriguing details in this series.
Although these details were not explicitly written by the author, the various interpretations they sparked, whether correct or not, have been eagerly pursued and recognized by countless people.

Even less likely to spot the most exquisite part of this novel at a glance.

At this mont.
An expert appeared.
This person’s online userna is "Poor Kid".

They seem to know everything about everything.
Of course, this is based on the common person’s lack of knowledge.

"Poor Kid" stood out and put forward a shocking viewpoint:
"It seems that so fans of The Primordial Chaos have also completed ’Journey to the West’, but I didn’t expect that you could co to the conclusion that it’s an adventure story of teacher-student relationships and ends happily. ’Journey to the West’ is a tragedy. Which eye of yours saw a happy ending?"
Not to ntion the fans of The Primordial Chaos,
Even the readers of ’Journey to the West’ were taken aback.
Isn’t the ending of ’Journey to the West’ very happy?

Can’t bla these people for reacting slowly.
The story of ’Journey to the West’ has been circulating on the earth for countless years, hence spawning countless interpretations.
But on Blue Star, it’s still a newly published novel.
A lot of things are starting from scratch.
Exactly why?
Just when so people felt that "Poor Kid" was trying to attract attention, this netizen finally explained: "From ’The Real and the Fake Handso Monkey King’, Chu Kuang was already giving a clear hint. Do you really think the one that was beaten to death was the fake Wukong?"
Everyone was stunned.
Then, cold sweat suddenly broke out!
Soone even imdiately went back and re-read the plot of ’The Real and the Fake Handso Monkey King’, the more they read, the more terrified they felt.
The fans of The Primordial Chaos who had read ’Journey to the West’ were also taken aback!
This train of thought, while terrifying, is also surprisingly brilliant!
Regardless of whether this viewpoint is correct, the existence of this viewpoint itself is certainly worth thinking about!
However, they did not know——
The real horror was yet to co!
