As a fan of online literature, I can't give a specific answer because it requires subjective judgment. However, I can tell you that Mr. Jin Yong's novels have become an important part of Chinese literature and culture, and have been widely praised and recognized. The same was true of Journey to the West. They were both classic novels with far-reaching influence and cultural value. Therefore, they cannot be compared or judged from a literary point of view.
Jin Yong, Investiture of the Gods, and Journey to the West were all famous martial arts novels in China. If there were Doujin novels, they might involve the characters and plots in these masterpieces. There were many doujinshi novels about Jin Yong, some of which might involve his relationship with other novel characters, such as Snow Mountain Flying Fox, Deer and Cauldron, and Heroes. The more famous Doujinshi novels about the Investiture of the Gods were The Legend of the Gods and The Legend of the Gods. The more famous doujinshi novels about Journey to the West included Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage and Journey to the West: Pilgrimage to the West. These works are all famous Wuxia novels in China. If you want to know more about them, you can search the relevant websites or read related books.
Jin Yong's novels were not generally considered to be connected because they were scattered in different time periods and different publishing houses. However, Mr. Jin Yong's novels have been adapted into television dramas and movies many times. These works are usually shot or broadcasted in the order of his novels, but this is not Mr. Jin Yong's original intention, nor does it mean that his novels are connected together.
Jin Yong's novels weren't connected together. His representative works were " The Book and Sword of Gratitude and Revenge "," The Smiling Proud Jianghu "," The Eight Heavenly Dragons ", and " The Deer and Cauldron ". These four novels were known as " Jin Yong's Four Great Masterpieces ". However, Jin Yong's other works such as Journey of the Chivalrous Man, Sword of the Yue Maiden, and Sword of the Blue Blood were not directly connected to the first four novels.
Jin Yong's novels were not generally considered to be connected because their plots and characters were interwoven and scattered in different novels. However, if it was referring to whether Jin Yong's Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes were connected, then they were generally considered to be one of the two most famous works of Jin Yong. These two novels were regarded as the classics of martial arts novels, and their plots and characters were widely imitated and quoted.
Jin Yong's longest novel was The Deer and the Cauldron, which had 16 chapters and about 2,000 - 2,500 words per chapter. The Deer and the Cauldron was one of Jin Yong's representative works, and it was also the work that he spent the most time and energy creating. The novel described the story of the big sects fighting for hegemony in the Jianghu at the end of the Ming Dynasty. It also described the grudges between the various characters in Jin Yong's works. There were both Jianghu grudges and political struggles. The plot of The Deer and the Cauldron was complicated, the characters were vivid, and the language was beautiful. It was regarded as a classic work of martial arts novels.
Mr. Jin Yong's novel, The Return of the Condor Heroes, mainly tells the story of Dugu Qiubai. Dugu Qiubai was a fictional martial arts character created by Mr. Jin Yong. He was born in the top martial arts sect, the Huashan Sect. He pursued martial arts and was not restricted by the sect. In the end, he created the invincible martial arts, the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords. In The Return of the Condor Heroes, Dugu Qiubai had experienced many Jianghu grudges with Yang Guo, Xiao Longnu, and others, showing his unique martial arts thoughts and philosophical insights.
The Legend of Jin Yong is a martial arts novel written by Mr. Jin Yong. The novel was first published in 1984 and has since been published in dozens of versions. The Legend of Jin Yong used ancient China as the background to tell the story of a group of martial arts masters fighting for hegemony in the Jianghu. The many characters involved in the novel had many twists and turns. It was regarded as a classic of martial arts novels. Although the Legend of Jin Yong was not one of Mr. Jin Yong's representative works, its status and influence in the field of martial arts novels could not be ignored.
Jin Yong's last work was the Sword of the Yue Maiden. This novel was first published in 1972 and is one of Jin Yong's representative works. The novel was about a female swordsman. The main character was a woman named Ah Jiu. She became an outstanding swordsman through practicing swordsmanship. The novel's plot was complicated and the characters were vivid.

It told the story of a Jianghu figure named Wei Xiaobao who rose up in the chaotic times and finally became the leader of the martial arts world. The story of the Deer and the Cauldron attracted the attention and love of countless readers with its humorous language, colorful characters, and ups and downs of the plot. It is not only the representative work of Mr. Jin Yong, but also a classic work in the history of Chinese literature, which has a profound impact on Chinese literature and culture.
