I'm Probably Not The Handsome Monkey King: Odyssey To The North
To Yun Jieshi, it seemed that life had a way more ominous meaning than he had previously imagined. He had never asked for much in all his twenty-whatever years of living. His dream was to make up for all that he had missed, all he was never taught about half of his heritage, his culture.
Who really was Sun Wukong? Was he better than Superman?
What really was an Immortal? Was it a greater existence than a Celestial?
Did Pangu really make the world with his very own body?
Why was Faye Wong so damn cool?!
So many questions!
The reward for Yun Jieshi’s curiosity and devotion, however, was a whole new adventure in an alternate world, mystical and mysterious in nature.
Graced with magnificent powers and privileges, the little monkey must head North, not as the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, but as the Discount Sage, Lesser than Most…for a time.
Into the cold, into the bizarre, grand stories await his ears and eyes.

Author's Note:
Please be sure to read the Auxillary Chapter to find out if this story is to your tastes or not.
Also, please don't complain too hard about the cover. I'm not trying to be obnoxious with the Chinese characters pasted on it. I just haven't found a better cover yet.
this is a masterpiece, ngl! The descriptions are not only immersive and vivid for being well structured, but also for being poetic. I also enjoy the interaction between the characters early on, which made me laugh at a point. well, nothing has pros without cons. in the prologue, a lot of things were introduced by the author which makes things a little bit vague. but, anyways, I really enjoyed it. it's worth a lifetime commitment, fr.
I love it! especially the poetic parts. The world building is nice, keep up the good work author
A compelling blend of action, adventure, and introspection. Its poetic descriptions and intricate world-building seems inviting us into a universe where mythology and personal growth connects.

This novel has everything a great story should have. A rich story building, complex characters with their own qualities and flaws, making them relatable, mysteries that will make you want more and all of that is backed with impressive writing skills. If you are someone who doesn't mind a slow burn and is searching for all the qualities I mentioned, then I strongly recommend this one! 🤓
Pretty good read in my opinion even though I don't read much Chinese literature. Still it has Sun Wukong in it, that alone makes it top tier. Story is developing quite nicely albeit on a slower pace but still good. And writing quality is immersive, my favorite part was the narration of the market. Overall, well done author
The story is an interesting take on the mythological Monkey King. The writing style is a bit more literary than the usual webnovel, which may or may not be to your liking. But personally, I find it refreshing. I love how the author takes time to introduce the MC to his new body. Often times, this aspect is glossed over, which usually breaks the immersion for me. But how the MC reacts to his new body and environment is quite captivating. I enjoyed it, author. Keep it up!
Beautifully written! The author has a way with words which helps the readers visualize the action as it happens. It also combines comedy which gives the story a lighthearted feel. The world building is nicely put together, and the characters are fun. Yun Jieshi’s internal thoughts always sends me🤭 Would definitely recommend!
