A book that I enjoyed reading recently was *Journey to the West*, which is a Chinese mythology novel written in the 16th century. Recently, I had played a game named *Black Myth: Wukong*, which is based on this novel. So when I learned about the novel, I immediately purchased it from Amazon and I was very excited to read it. The book is based upon a monkey king, Sun Wukong, who is a god in search of immortality. He sets out on a journey to the west to look for six different scriptures that will grant him immortality, but along the way, he faces many enemies who stand as obstacles in his path. I enjoyed reading this book a lot because I already had a rough idea of the story from the game. And when I was reading certain parts, I got very excited because I had spoilers of what was coming ahead in the novel. This did spoil the book a little and ruined the reading experience for me to some extent. However, I also found the book very interesting because the game didn't go into much detail. But while reading the book, I learned about all the things that Sun Wukong had done on his journey in great detail. The book made me think about the themes of perseverance, overcoming adversity, and the importance of self-discovery. It also made me appreciate the rich history and mythology of Chinese culture. I enjoyed the book because it challenged me to think critically about the story and its characters. It also made me appreciate the beauty and complexity of the Chinese language. Overall, *Journey to the West* was a thought-provoking and enjoyable read that I would recommend to anyone interested in Chinese mythology or epic fantasy.
