Honestly wasn’t sure how to rate this. Good qualities abound: the story had me hooked, flowed nicely, was about important topics… bad qualities: Spoiler
If the story is going to be moralistic and fantastical, then great, but then why do rules and consequences only apply to some people?! Like god only intervened when the monkey king got too big for his britches, but when the other gods excluded him it was fine? Idk also the thing about Wei-Chen being a monkey god’s son was super random to me, since their story was very mundane before that reveal it didn’t really make sense.
