Chapter 1433: Chapter 1182: Book Review Storm (6k Long Chapter Seeking Subscription and Monthly Tickets)_2

In the words of an old reader from Qin Continent:

What does Chu Kuang know about “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils”? This guy is just a novelist!

Alright then.

Despite the insults towards Chu Kuang, “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils” on the Xingkong Web has still been rated 9.3.

The highest of the trilogy, “The Legend of the Condor Heroes,” currently only has a score of 9.1.

And in the novel’s commentary section.

There are countless long and short reviews!

…

Xingkong Web novel page.

Wuxia “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils” short review section.

“Murong Fu is a descendant of a fallen royal family, pursuing the throne his whole life, treating Wang Yuyan like grass, while Duan Yu, the legitimate heir, loves beauty and would rather abandon the kingdom. What you pursue is exactly what I discard, illustrating the absurdity of life.”

“In this grand book, hundreds of heroic figures, with Xiao Feng’s emergence, all fade into the background!”

“Duan Yu is probably the old rascal’s most contemptible righteous love fool; Wang Yuyan is the female counterpart to match, and their pairing at the end is quite satisfying.”

“The old rascal writing about Duan Yu has truly shocked my worldview!”

“May all lovers be long-lost siblings!”

“Duan Yu is the fool, Xu Bamboo is the dullard, Xiao Feng is the man.”

“This term ‘cousin’ has been played to death, and I must say, I love Mu Wanqing and detest Wang Yuyan!”

“Is the alternate title of this book not ‘Where Did Papa Go’?”

“Where Did Papa Go? seems fitting; others are the dad who cheats, but for Duan Yu, Xu Bamboo, Murong Fu, and Xiao Feng, it’s the dads who cheat their sons, each more ruthless than the last.”

“The old rascal’s true pinnacle of wuxia!”

“Zhu is just Zhu. Across seas and nations, through ages, there’s only one Zhu!”

…

And in the classroom of a university.

Professor Wang’s open class is packed to capacity.

An amusing scene:

On the students’ desks are not textbooks of university professional courses, but quietly placed copies of “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.”

Obviously.

Everyone has completed the homework assigned by Professor Wang, which is to read Chu Kuang’s new book “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.”

“How does Professor Wang evaluate this book?”

The first student to raise a hand in class asks the question everyone is most concerned about.

Professor Wang smiles slightly and turns to write eight characters on the blackboard:

No one is not wronged, all emotions are sinful!

The specific meaning is not clear to everyone.

Amidst the students’ bewildered and stunned expressions, Professor Wang poses an exceedingly tricky question: “Do you all know how many characters were created in this book?”

The students laugh helplessly.

Why don’t you simply ask us how many hairs we have on our heads?

However.

To everyone’s shock, Professor Wang raises two thumbs in front of all the students: “Over two hundred, more precisely, over two hundred thirty.”

One sentence!

The entire room is shocked and stupefied!

Shocked at the sheer number of characters in Chu Kuang’s book;

Stupefied that Professor Wang even pays attention to such insane details!

“Returning to the question just asked, you asked me how to evaluate this book, I want to say that every character in the book is troubled by their own desires for greed, anger, ignorance, and love, resulting in such a ‘No one is not wronged, all emotions are sinful’ world of illusion, these eight characters can be seen as the main theme of the whole book!”

Greed, anger, ignorance, love.

Buddhist concepts.

Professor Wang further supplements: “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils reflects the desires of all beings in the world, people who are not human yet are driven by human desires, the entire novel thus writes about greed, anger, ignorance, resentment, various causes and effects each with their own karmic retribution, birth, aging, sickness, death, unfulfilled desires, separation from love, meetings with hatred.”

The bitter sea of this earthly world.

You and I are adrift within it.

Through this explanation, the students ponder, vaguely touching upon the creative rules of “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.”

Below.

Some silently recorded with cameras.

Some wrote down notes.

Someone raised a hand to ask again: “Is Xu Bamboo considered the winner in life?”

“Not so.”

Professor Wang opened the conversation with Bao Butong’s catchphrase:

“They say Xu Bamboo has the best fate, having possessed the two hundred years of inner strength of three masters from the Carefree Sect, married the Princess of Western Xia, and became the leader of Holy Eagle Palace, yet at the same time he learned who his real parents were within the span of an hour and watched them commit suicide powerlessly.

Actually, the most cruel aspect of fate is not whether it gives well or bad.

But whether what fate gives you, you want it or not:
