Reviews

[Rin · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a great book journey to the west or 西遊記 is by far one of my favourite Chinese literatures along with the red chamber I love Wu Kong as a character. One of the best characters I have ever read everything about it almost makes me feel as if I was isekai'd and sucked into the world of of Wu Kong watching him fight demons, threaten Dragon kings and the fact that he doesn't try to hide that huge pride of his makes him 10x better.
