4.0

This is a novel that is mostly fun because it is a truly ancient Chinese fiction novel, written by the author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Luo Guanzhong, and it reads like a comic book, with each chapter ending with words like "find out next time, dear reader!" It is entirely possible that it was released one chapter at a time, perhaps in scrolls that were passed around. It is a fast read.
