The story has ...issues

[REhorror]

After viewing the two endings, I think the story is ...bad.

The devs kinda drop the ball in this part.

- literally no progression of Wukong story, you begin by seeing him get wasted and the end is succeeding/resurrecting him
- too much fan fiction including romance between pig (Bajie) and spider and some hints of Wukong romance with White Skeleton (yuck, he should hate her the most).
- too much subversiveness of trying to make Heaven as bad and Wukong as good. The devs think the original JttW is actually some tricks played on Wukong.

This would make sense if some HK or Taiwan guy writing this to subvert the original but this is too unorthodox for a mainland game.

Wonder what JttW fans and chinese fans think.

Did you know that this is just the first game about Wu Kong? There will be more sequels or prequels in the future.

Yeah they kinda waste the first game on a guy being not Wukong then.

Also, the question is: are we Wukong after the endgame? Or just another monkey who inherits Wukong parts and memory?

Feel the story is too inspired by Souls but in a bad way. You succeed but do not become someone else in Souls.

This is just some common cliché used by trolls on the Chinese internet to disparage the game.

Another obvious troll. Move on people.

Your post has...issues

Yeah guys I don't know if chinese internet is also saying the game.

Just my thoughts as a JttW fan, I definitely expected something more orthodox.

You've clearly never actually read the book. Begone tourist.

The story is post-JttW and is meant to be a continuation (hundreds years later).

"My thoughts as a JTTW fan" and "too much fan fiction including romance between pig (Bajie) and spider and some hints of Wukong romance with White Skeleton (yuck, he should hate her the most)." - Bro calls the love story between Bajie and Chang'e fanfiction. FYI, presenting Baigujing as Wukong's love interest in later adaptations of the novel, most notably "A Chinese Odyssey", has been met with general praise due to giving these characters more emotional depth and depicting more complicated facets of their personality.

"Literally no progression of Wukong story, you begin by seeing him get wasted and the end is succeeding/resurrecting him" - Are you out of your mind? Did you even play the game at all? This is the story of the Destined One and his fate as it was shaped by his nature and Wukong himself. As the old monkey said, he is and is not Wukong. BM:W is probably the most character development we have gotten for Wukong in ANY adaptation or JTTW-adjacent piece of media through everything we learn about him and his plan during the journey and how he's presented as still playful but a lot more mature, which is a decidedly uncommon but much-appreciated spin on his character.

"too much subversiveness of trying to make Heaven as bad and Wukong as good. The devs think the original JttW is actually some tricks played on Wukong." - Heaven WAS bad, and the Jade Emperor was a piece of ♥♥♥♥ who imprisoned his own sister beneath a mountain for loving a human. Did you play with your eyes closed? We get an entire sequence at the end where Wukong is deconstructed for his wrongdoings and presented as a powerful but flawed individual who got himself involved in many scandals in his youth.

You are either a troll, never played the game or read the book and talking out of your ass, or your media literacy is literally dead in a ditch. Or a combination of all three.

We are not Wukong; we are the new generation that inherits his ideals and spirit — freedom and struggle. People from mainland China never truly believe in gods or religion; we only believe in ourselves. Don’t assume that the gods in Heaven are inherently good. You can think of Heaven as a system, like the government, that rules over the common people. If they do a poor job, we should resist. The characteristic of Chinese people is rebellion — if you don’t do well, we will fight you, we will overthrow you. We use gods, we don’t obey them.
