Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 1073 1069. Comments on Li Jing's Midlife Crisis

Hello everyone, I am Cang Yiwei.

Today I would like to recommend a fantasy novel to you.

"Li Jing's Midlife Crisis", Wu Siliu, level 4 author.

Category: Xianxia-Mythical Cultivation.

【Introduction】

Seeing that a shocking war that will sweep across the three realms is about to break out, Li Jing, the general of Chentang Pass, stands at the center of the storm. On one side is his master, and on the other side is the imperial court. Where should he go?

At the same time, his family affairs were also a mess.

There are three sons in the family. The eldest son, Jin Zha, is a young and naive man who likes to stand up for the weak all day long. If it weren't for the system, he would have been cheated to death long ago.

The second son, Mu Zha, carries a library with him and is immersed in his own little world all day long. Although he is young, he lives a more Buddhist life than his father.

As for the third son, Nezha, he claimed to be a reincarnation and his catchphrase was "Killing people gets you points." Li Jing was never sure whether he was his son or not.

The three sons are more troublesome than the other, and the lover outside, Shiji Niangniang, keeps asking to come into the house.

When you reach middle age, life becomes difficult!

When he found out that the big guys in his sect were all eyeing his sons, the middle-aged dad finally got angry.

I have been hiding for so many years, do you really think I am a person who can only rely on my son for a living? It’s time to show my true strength!

Friendly reminder: The pace of this book is ridiculously slow, such as the protagonist's golden finger... Well, I will try to write it within 200,000 words.

【Brief Comment】

He has three books under his name: "The Days of the Post-Shushan Era", "A Sword Pierces Through the Republic of China", and "Li Jing's Midlife Crisis", none of which are masterpieces.

Someone left me a message yesterday, hoping that I would recommend fewer urban rebirth novels and more fantasy novels.

I think this person has only recently started following me. I didn't realize I used to be a fan of Xianxia novels.

However, when there are too many introductions to a category, it’s always time to change the taste. To be honest, I quite like the story in the early and middle stages of today’s book.

You can tell a thing or two from the introduction.

The protagonist is Li Jing, a handsome and powerful Qi-refining master from Chaoge, who married a princess from the royal family.

Unfortunately, he was only given the empty title of General Fubo and was not given any important position for more than ten years.

He has always respected Wen Zhong and taken him as a role model!
He was so proud that he sold his ancestral jade pendant and went to visit with gold, but he couldn't even get in.

He wanted to drown his sorrows in alcohol, but ran into his senior brother Zheng Lun by chance, and only then did he learn the real reason why he was not valued: Biyou Palace.

Later, he was forced to give up everything and pretend to surrender to the treacherous minister Fei Zhong, only then did he get a chance to compete for the position of general of Chentang Pass.

The author's title is actually quite interesting and relatable. He's a stay-at-home dad himself, and he portrays Li Jing, before his rise to fame, as a stay-at-home dad. Of course, he also draws on elements from You Yao Qi and various anime, blending them together to create a more realistic and engaging character.

The author said the pace was slow, but it was actually okay, as it buried a lot of clues, including the prophecy that he would have a third son, Jiang Ziya. This person only appeared in profile in the early stages, but you can tell at a glance that he is definitely a master.

There are many masters in the book, including Jin Zha who has a system, Nezha who is known as the reincarnation, Jiang Ziya who is a time traveler, and so on.

Everyone's identity is not simple, and the author has carefully crafted it. Even if it seems to be a supporting role at first glance, he may become an important character who determines the story line the next moment.

This also makes the current plot of the book quite uncomfortable. The author wanted to blend too many things, wanting to travel through different worlds and create an endless flow. But the effect is not ideal, and it is rather strange. It would have been better to stick to the world of the Conferred Gods from the beginning and continue the endless spoofing. Now, it really doesn't end well.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment.

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”.

Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.
