The End of Reverend Insanity

[@fishbones5427]

What I loved most about RI is that the enemies aren’t stupid. Too many Xianxia or Wuxia novels have MCs who are only “smart” or “strong” because their opponents are just plain idiots or strong only because of plot power. A MC is only as good as their antagonist.

[@sandeshpakhrin2544]

Bro even minor characters are better then other novels mc in plotting.

[@Andrew-mg3ib]

Well, the point is not about being jaded, resenting society, resenting that you have to act to secure the love of your girlfriend. I think the concept of zhen ren summarizes it well. No need to act. If you feel it, you feel it. Fear is weakness, confidence comes from the self. People who will stay will stay. Throw away the mask and find your true self as the novel says. Reverend Insanity offers a view into the mind of a great person. Within it is hope, the recipe, of transcending mediocrity, and becoming a legend, a truly great person. Literally the story is human path inheritance. So many people in this world are defeated. They fear and are weak. But like the first chapter of the legends of Ren Zu. When predicaments come, give your heart to hope. And today that hope is inside of me. Some times you can't control everything that happens around you, but you can control how you react to those situations. No longer am I discouraged by defeats. I just get up and try again. A little pain? So what? A little sacrifice? So what again. Unhappiness? Im fine. It's such a freeing feeling, to be content and happy. You don't need a reason to be happy or unhappy. But I truly feel this world is very interesting. Anyways, I've won big and achieved things that the previous me would be unable to do, so yes, Reverend Insanity is a masterpiece.

[@ContentSavant]

Thank you for your comment, Luna. I am so moved by every commenter’s individual take aways and interpretations of the novel, as each one is unique but they are all correct. There is just so much to be absorbed, much like the legends of ren zu. Like you, I fear less, and hope more, I am willing to fail because failure is part of success. Just like FY traversing reverse flow river, no matter how hard your journey is, you only need to take on little step at a time.

Those are not in the translation. Also, you notice how in Reverend Insanity it shows another potential rank 9 path besides Dream path. I believe this path is Weapon path. I remember there was a character who was trying to create a new path by combining sword path and another weapon (Can't remember what it is). Fang Yuan commented that it looks like he is trying to develop another path. My first thought was, hmm it has to be Weapon Path. Then confirmation of this was when Fang Yuan entered the demon cave.

Generally power fantasies put virtues ahead of gaining power even though there is an inherent understanding that for good to exert influence it still needs power. The pursuit of power is usually taken in a negative light because it doesn't acknowledge the different facets of it - strength, intelligence, influence, authority - and instead is limited to strength and control. I like Xianxia because it fully embraces the inherent understanding and builds on it which is justified by the very nature of their world - not putting a limit on what an individual can achieve. It puts pursuit of power ahead and virtues secondary - different characters have different priorities and ways of achieving things and the one who wins isn't the right one but whose methods are truly effective. Reverend Insanity is the perfect xianxia as it encompasses all that I like about the genre (what makes it stand out among other power fantasies) while being meaningful at the same time.

They don’t kill each other out of spite if it benefits them in the long run! They act like human as far as I am concern! This novel make me admire someone like Fang Yuan and his mindset, not his methods to achieve his goals! The character is also honest with himself that I root for him more. I know people in the Western world read it and believe the author is psycho, however I rather have Fang Yuan as colleagues due to him is very blunt about his goals and motivation, thus I like him more than hypocrite characters in many Western television breaching justice while justifying atrocities in their righteousness!

Fang Yuan is a demon he isn't evil nor good , in his philosophy evil, good, love, hate , envy and all the emotions are just stepping stones for his goal of eternal life, and he has absolutely no attachments he doesn't consider eternal life everything either he simply enjoys the feeling of chasing after what's impossible and for that he can do absolutely anything, for example he extorted his classmates, made a bear eat an innocent girl and then killed it to refine a blood path gu to reach rank 3 he burned 2 children ate brains of monkeys killed his clansmen to improve his own talent manipulated, sold and enslaved his brother while dealing with enemies his principle is to have no bottom line and his bottom line is to have no principle, he dosent give a F about his reputation, he will do absolutely anything, killing others means nothing to him, neither pleasure nor happiness, everything is just a stepping stone for him to soar above even further and that process in itself is what he enjoys, I really like his perspective of things, unlike on earth where we have to follow wealth, happiness, partners etc that is because we have no other choice otherwise our lives would be meaningless, unlike the world of gu Fang Yuan is a man of endless preservence and is true to his core principle of following the impossible Honestly in my opinion he is the best character

@Content Savant you can also explore the parallels between Giant Sun and Northern Plains = Russia + post Soviet countries, Star Constellation, co and Central Continent = USA + Western World in America, Eastern Sea = Indo-Pacific region + maybe Australia/NZ, Western Desert = Africa/Arab countries up to post Soviet territory and China, Southern Border = EU. Central Continent - full of morality on the outside with deep schemes and manipulation on the inside with unfair and rotten system Northern Plains - land of different nationalities united together in strong culture, but on the inside it's only good for blood related (pure Russians) Eastern Sea - divided and usable because they have no strong standing in the world Western Desert - divided and exploitable too, pretty much the same as Eastern Sea Southern Border - culturally more different sects but with more complex alliances, ties to Central Continent with a lot more politics involved with downside being sects not inviting outsiders (like in real world it's easier to become an American than Italian/German/French for example) With main protagonist having allusions to modern China worldview, not good but efficient and ruthless in their goals, not kind but giving some freedom for selfless work without freedom of political choice or any regards to individual in order to achieve bigger goals I think this is pretty much how collective China feels of the world deep inside, and it makes sense because we get this story from the protagonist perspective. I believe this novel was cancelled because these allusions are very clear to government critics and his chapters near the end with using some kind of "huge energy bomb" in order to weaken USA, oh I mean Central Continent crossed the line and warped an unconscious message into something Chinese critics didn't want to spread via literature. There is no doubt that I missed a bunch more references via various Venerables, but I am pretty sure there were no signs of India's culture/world view, South American world and very simplified Africa/Indo-Pacific region. The absence of China is very easily explained by author slowly building it inside the protagonist during the whole novel, or maybe for fear of censorship.

(Spoilers below even if the video itself is a giant spoiler anyway) Damn I accidentally hit the cancel button instead of comment, and youtube of course doesn't have a preventative measure so its gone. Ill try to remake my comment even if its not as good as the first iteration: 1. Great video, very informative and really encapsulates the feeling of reading RI. 2. I honestly enjoyed the Zombie Arc, as much as I saw on the reddit about it being the worst arc. I think the author didn't convey it properly, but this was a hard shift from the past, in fact Id say the author practically changed the way he approached the story, even if the way he wrote the story was the same. It became less about his experiences of the past and more about his now honed and dangerous abilities to use for the future. Its never explicitly stated until later in the book when people start acknowledging how much of an absolute fucking genius he is, but for real Fang Yuan is a super-monstrous-ultra genius. Because the depth of the books is deeper than other stories, when I say that I mean it from the perspective of even OTHER wuxia novels. For other novels, to be a genius is to be gifted by the heavens with natural talent. Natural talent comes in the form of cultivation talent and dao talent. In RI's case this is basically the same thing, but for Fang Yuan, he completely breaks the mold. He isn't naturally gifted, he doesnt have a natural inclination towards ANY cultivation path, as far as the reader can be aware, but he still ends up with becoming great grand master (GGM) or higher in practically all known paths. Why? Because he uses his demonic intellect to plan, scheme, and kill his way into a position that allows him to artificially increase these attainment levels. He's not a genius because heaven gave him a golden spoon, he's a genius because he ripped that golden spoon out of heavens hand and then broke heavens hand in his effort to steal its golden spoon bag. 3. Technically Paradise Earth was the first person to successfully cultivate Heaven Path. Due to his unique rebirth technique he would have become a heaven path venerable *cough* if not for Fang Yuan scheming against him and then using his patented Kill-and-Take-Benefits no Jutsu *cough* . Still, he was able to rebirth as a true Pseudo-Venerable Rank 8 immortal purely utilizing heaven path, which means his attainment level had to be at least quasi-supreme grandmaster or basically he had the ability to research and understand heaven path to the limits of heaven itself. Considering it wasn't until the first fairy of spirit valley was a rank 8 cultivator that water path was created or when THDV created the "Steal Dao" killer move, I'd say Paradise Earth was absolutely the "first heaven path cultivator". This doesn't take away from the depth of knowledge of the video, since really, if you couldn't use your attainment for shit before you got abruptly killed, did you really "cultivate"?

[@ContentSavant]

I can certainly go into it, but my opinion is rather short. We all know that any organization will protect it’s bottom line. Throughout the novel, we see many forces that portray themselves as executors of justice ultimately only caring about benefits. One major theme of RI is that at it’s core, people are selfish and care only about their own interests. As such, my conclusion about the novel ban is that it must have been threatening the interest of the Chinese Censors. If the author were more powerful, it would instead be the other way around. Big fish eats small fish, small fish eats shrimp. I know you understand this as a fellow enjoyer of RI.

It's just that after your opening speech about being jaded with everything and with institutions.... I was expecting some profound ending speech at the end of the video. Perhaps talking about the circumstances of RI's cancellation and how it ties back to what you said earlier about being jaded. It seemed like that was the direction you were heading. Like you were gonna tie it all together in one big bow at the very end of the video. Perhaps even maybe thought you were gonna compare the China government to Heavenly Court in the novel as a metaphor. Or mentioning cancelling the novel reflects how Fang Yuan is constantly hunted by Heavenly Court. Or some other deep literary analysis. But the video sort of just ends without the final cherry ontop. But thanks again for making the video. I enjoyed it outside of the minor gripe of not talking about cancellation.

I think he could be considered a Gu Master and Gu Immortal since he uses / cooperates with Gu. Since he got progressively stronger throughout his life's journey, I think this counts as cultivation.

这作者的名字也叫蛊真人，他还想把方源写死，他想一个主角死了，另一个人物当主角，然后再死，再另一个人物当主角，但读者反对，到后来他自己也对方源这个人物有了感情，不想写死他，小说的风格很明显的变了，这是因为作者怕被封，可最终还是封了。不知道英文版的蛊真人有没有序章:不是走向成功，就是走向毁灭。

[@ContentSavant]

我可明白你第一的意思，我们都上爱了我们亲爱的主角，方源。 你第二的句，是不是表示蛊真人小说的文学基调，主题，被蛊真人变了？我觉得是这样，我也同意是因为他怕封，I Assume 封 meaning censor/deleted in this case. 最后，英文版有没有序章？我看不懂，你可以再说吗？ 我们说着英文人都希望蛊真人可以某天写到写完。 我觉得我们都发现，承认小说的主题变了。 有人觉得一个 “怕风”的 结束不行，别人觉得什么结余行，就想一个结束。 我呢我是第二的。我们已经看了 book 1的基调和主题，当蛊真人写结束的时候，可以再说基调说的很轻轻。我们会明白。

@@ContentSavant 在过去的几个月内，我经历了生活赐予的痛苦，并且身心都在其中挣扎。 人生就像一个天平，一端放着“现实”，一端放着“内心”。对我来讲，“现实”的一端越来越沉重，便导致天平的失衡，因此便产生了痛楚。 人总是因为路走的太久，迷失在路边的风景，而常常忘记当初为什么出发。 就是这么回事，在痛苦中我感到一阵阵的迷茫。 从上本书完本后，到如今为止，休息的这段时间，我在努力寻找方向，寻找当初为什么出发的理由。 那是在五六年前的样子，当时我已经看了一段时间的小说。 《飘渺之旅》是第一本，然后是《亵渎》、《诛仙》、《狂神》、《驭兽斋》、《兽血沸腾》、《蜀山》、《惟我独仙》等等。 我看了许许多多的小说，心中却积蓄了些郁结。皆因看到的主角大多都是鸿运齐天、光明正大、品德高尚。而反派大多都是愚蠢疯狂丑恶，名头都是响当当的，却都是纸老虎，看着光鲜威风一遇到主角就萎了。 于是就想着，想要看到一个真正的大反派。 这个反派特立独行，孤傲黑暗，杀伐果断，从不腿软。他从不遮掩自己的恶，绝没有虚伪的善。 他的形象一看就十分邪恶，魔气凛然，杀意弥漫。最擅长的事情，就是践踏规则，斩杀名门正道。 他独自一人，与整个世界为敌，将恐怖播散万物生灵。他就是邪派大宗师，有时嚣张霸道，有时阴险狡诈，有时冷酷无情，他傲立巅峰，邪蔑世间，所有挑战他的勇者都下场凄凉。 他手段残忍，或许还玩弄蛊虫，总之一看就知道不是什么好东西。 那么他叫什么名字呢……超级魔王？黑山老妖？绿袍老祖？ 不不不。 想了想，不如就叫蛊真人吧。 正巧当时在起点要创建一个账号，ok，于是这个id就诞生了。 有些电视剧中经常这样演：大反派将主角击败，就差最后的致命一击。然后大反派就开始罗里吧嗦，主角暗中积蓄力量，最后一搏，每次都能翻盘，大获全胜。 这个情势局面，若换做反派是下风，则是这样：往往主角发威之后，反派被击败瘫倒在地。面对主角的剑，反派忽然痛哭流涕，发誓痛改前非。主角“心慈仁厚”的犹豫了，这时反派绝地反击，未遂。主角“明察秋毫洞若观火”，将反派彻底镇压下去，同时心肠也硬了，大喝一声“卑鄙无耻下流”，最终将反派击杀。 还有些反派，每次绑架了主角的亲朋好友，几乎从来都未要挟成功过。就算是优势很大，也会因为种种不可抗力而莫名其妙的被主角击败。 好像是在六年前，我创下“蛊真人”这个id，就是心中有个愿望，想见证一个邪恶大反派。他有着自己的行为方式，被世人不容，恣意纵横，又不屑解释。他杀伐果断，从不为情所困，看到美女也绝不腿软。 他的威名让四海凛然，让人谈之色变。 理解他的人敬佩他尊崇他爱戴他，恨他的人咬牙切齿，施展各种手段，却只能让他越来越强。 他走在自己的路上，孤独包裹着他，冷漠的眸子能洞悉一切虚伪。 对于批判否决，他嗤笑不屑。对于虚夸阿谀，他冷笑不语。 他耐得住寂寞，甚至享受寂寞。 他不是走向成功，那么就是走向毁灭。 &n -->> 本章未完，点击下一页继续阅读 上一章 目录 下一页

@@ContentSavant 蛊真人是一部黑暗流神作，黑暗流是指主角不是好人的小说，第一本黑暗流小说好像是极道毁灭。很容易可以看出，风格变得不黑暗了，开始还有点黑暗，还说体制什么的，之后就纯粹是一部玄幻小说，作者因为怕被封，还加入了一些搞笑情节，如白凝冰男变女还被人误以为晚上和方源交配了。愤怒的小鸟。墨人城城主怀孕。今天你肝了吗(这算是中国网络上的流行语吧)

@@张清奇 啊，我明白，你的觉得是 蛊真人小说越来越不黑暗，越来越搞笑的。 我可了解。 是的。 the last epic thing that Fang Yuan did was annexing Long Hair Ancestor's Blessed land.

Dont blame him, the novel is 2300+ chapters long, its very easy to get things confused unless you have godly memory like myself. The best thing we can do to help him is to point out the innacuracies in the video. plus, the video is about his final thoughts in the novel rather than a detailed explanation of the story.
