In a site full of mostly Chinese novels, this is a breath of fresh air. Surprisingly the author isn’t racist toward the Japanese and you can tell he researched well because of all the mythology and spirits. It’s like cultivation in a modern world but a whole new game and different kind of levels. The translation and editing is some of the best I’ve seen in a while too. I hope this gets chosen, so please guys, give it a try.

this novel is fukin awesome but i know most likely webnovel will not choose this because they always want ****ty cliche and chapters filled with nationalism kind of novel to be translated, FUCK!

Sending lost souls to Buddha with one palm. I wasn’t expecting much from this novel but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s a pity though that it’s apparently on hiatus and doesn’t have that many chapters yet. Spoilers. Let me explain the world background. Taking place in Japan, supposedly 90% of people are religious and the main religions are Shintoism and Buddhism. Religion isn’t as strict as irl, you can smoke and have fun but there are still some restrictions. This is mostly due to spiritual energy and evil spirits existing in the world. Now, evil spirits and Yokai aren’t secrets. The world knows about them though regular people treat it as mysterious and scary. The police will often outsource special cases involving spirits to temples and shrines. Regular people will also request for spirits to be taken care of if they are being haunted. This is a pretty good summary, not gonna explain everything. The main character is a transmigrator who appears in this world and becomes a monk. He is very hard working and smart though he seems to have actually become a monk mentally and rejects all advances from girls so he can do more training. And yes, he is handsome. But, he has trained too hard though and is pretty powerful. He only has his abbot as a frame of reference and since he too is very powerful apparently, the MC thinks he’s only pretty good. There are ranks among monks and shrine maiden btw but you can read it yourself. So anyways, he comes from a small temple so he needs money to expand the temple. That’s the main motivation or goal that he has. There is also of course getting stronger but that’s secondary. Now there is someone that I’m guessing is the female lead. She is a shrine maiden and isn’t too bad. They meet and she takes him along on missions to record videos and she pays him part of the remuneration. I don’t know how to describe her but she’s likable. He gets more famous and takes on bigger jobs, there also seems to be some connection between these cases... Translation is great, I don’t remember seeing any mistakes. Grammar is good too. Really liked the story. Pretty high quality stuff so far. Again, it’s a shame there isn’t much right now but it’s still good.

This "synopsis" will kill charm of this novel. This novel is pleasent supprise for me. After years of reading webnovels I could guss basic story of novel just by reading title or synopsis. But this one suprise me by fresh feeling while reading .let me tell you first few chapters is very let down but after that you will never knew how your time spent until you need to pay 40 th chapter. I strongly suggest this novel to all readers. wish you a happy reading.

I just simply love this book. I know chances are slim but I hope this book get selected. Give it a try you will not waste your time.

If this book does not get picked it would be a great shame!!! A nice relaxing tale set in an alternate Japan with a truly likeable MC. Definitely recommend this to other readers too.

This novel is very good and shows the author completed a lot of research into Japanese mythology and culture. It adds a different perspective compared to the common Chinese books that are usually posted here.

This is the story of a monk who is basically overpowered compared to the enemies he faces. 800 year-old Yokai? Sent off to Buddha in one hit. Fortunately, the protagonist is Japanese, so Chinese nationalism is almost guaranteed to be non-existent. That's a plus. This novel is great for a casual read. Plot is enjoyable. Definitely better than the other trash cliche novels out there. Give it a try and it will make an excellent addition to your reading list.

The story is amazing. But Webnovel drops all good novels as usual. Reader’s choice is a joke when only trash with the lowest votes gets chosen.
