this novel is perfect. the many Chinese myths really add to the mystery. MC's ability to copy songs and poetry from the earth is also amazing, especially his depictions. The moment I really liked was when MC read the opposing Empire's poetry and the moment when he read the Dao Laozi scripture. both moments gave me goosebumps. MC's struggle in bringing his wife back to life was also very touching, I often cried in several parts about the character's attachment. what I like most is mc's intelligence and manipulation. and of course MC's ability to play chess (Go). the first time he summoned a cloud monster from earth using go formation and the cloud monster came to life gave me goosebumps. then given another plotwis about the eternal horizon of yin-yang. perfect??
