No, iy has no meaning the way it is said
A good novel that allows you to follow the adventures of a young daoïst priest who receives a livestreaming system, and simply continues his life while filming it. What's great is that his life, though interesting, stays relaxing, and the writing allows you to just feel good. The only disadvantage is a classic in chinese webnovels : a little bit of propaganda, though it's not to the point of racism.
Actually, this novel might have a hint of nationalism, but it's subtle enough to be bearable. (the kimchi error is so ridiculous it made me laugh instead) If you really think that the soft-power propaganda doesn't works(which I hope), then try to forget this part of the novel and focus on the quality of the writing, the character development, the pacing, and you'll see the novel is worth a read. And in my opinion, xianxia novels are more of a propaganda, because they tend to show the culture from a viewpoint that is widely liked. Instead the urban type novels tend to show things like corruption of officials, which, while they seem common to chinese people, are the scariest things in the mind of other people. So in terms of propaganda it's not the best I've seen.
actually I think it'sinteresting because instead of saying that taoïsm is good, he explains its doctrine, its philosophy. That gives the novel a depth that light novels usually don't have, and I find it refreshing to read something that's not merely on the "you killed my family, I will kill your family too" level. Furthermore, the MC can use his doctrine to explain his actions, so that they seem logical, unlike most novels.
Imbalanced
No problems with this book. At first it seems a bit similar to "world's best martial artist" but it takes a different road after a few chapter. From what I now, this book is the first to choose that kind of plot in webnovel. A good choice. The writing is smooth, and MC is quite clever, but is not described as such. Only his actions show it. There is no lack of action, but it's not "all brawl but no brain" either. Chapters are quite short, but at least they cost less...
