I love how much of this story is more or less "I demand to speak with your manager."

[Cerberus-hm]

Thank the gods you've returned. I missed watching your video. I can't wait for more mythology. It's good to have you back. ❤

[Vyzard]

I was disheartened when this story wasn't covered here before the wukong game came out. But actually getting chapter by chapter summary of the whole tale? My eyes couldn't believe it at first lol. Well worth the wait

[lovely]

Finally a full story about journey to the west; not in bits and pieces a full breakdown. 👍👍👍😍

My bed time story! I gave insomnia so this video is good to listen to as i play games to fall asleep.

[xerxes_sama]

Me waking up to see a YouTube notification from Mythology and Fiction Explained is definitely the highlight of my day. Missed you so much man. Still waiting for more Dark World Episode 3

Two hours, well I get it since Journey to the west is LoTR's tier fantasy, one of the greatest greats; but mad respect taking the immense time to try and do it justice.

[ArggoNavis]

Excellent timing, I just finished Black Myth Wukong

[MummaCourtney]

I truly love everything you do Mythology & Fiction Explained!!! ❤ I could happily listen to you recite the alphabet.

It's been awhile since I have read Journey to the West, so it is a welcome surprise to find that M&F decided to tackle such an epic tale. Personally I have always found Sun Wukong's Rogue's Gallery to be fascinating in their own right, as they are vastly diverse in strength, skills, origin, and motives. Definitely a book worth another read.

[mathieuleader]

love the shading and use of light in the illustrations

[AnnaAlessi]

This is amazing! So glad you’re back ❤

[TheHornedKing]

You're alive! And you bring gold!

[ManImTheVoid]

Journey to the west along with Jason and the Argonauts sounds like the first "Fellowship" stories.

[MinecraftWorld]

I've been really interested in reading Journey To The West, especially considering my favorite television show (Lego Monkie Kid) is based off of it.

You can always use magic to defeat the local monster, but there's no getting away from the fact you need to get your papers stamped.
