Great conclusion?

It was a great series and I’m thrilled that it’s not over. I can’t wait but for now I enjoyed it immensely.

what a great ending

can't believe it's done and what a great listen. an epic ending, made me unable to stop the audio.

Amazing

This series was really fun to read. The journey with all the twists and turns is what made the series great to me. Reaching your goals are important but, the journey is just as valuable. Any who great end to mortality.

Bittersweet, like most endings.

I like how the author stayed true to their character all the way til the end, even if that end is bittersweet. I thought it seemed a waste to leave so many things unsolved: the demonic cultivators, the thief blessed by the Heavens, repaying the platinum sages, just lots of things he still needs to do. I guess it's lucky the author is continuing the adventures in a new series!!

The Fourth Wall

Book 12 of the A Thousand Li series. Well, the series is over. Did it have a good ending? Yes. Did it satisfy everything? No. In 12 books, you come to like many characters besides the MC, so having an ending to one but many others left untold, is well, greedy of me the reader. I wanted to see what was left behind. Did they survive? Get revenge? Reach their goal? A fantastic series that has kept me hungry for more. Thank you Tao Wong. DRmz 7-6-25

5 stars

What a great ride this series has been. Was my first series of this genre I tried on audible and had me hooked. Looking forward to where this universe goes. Thank you Tao Wong for this story.

Series end - loose ends

I'm not going to expect this book to do as well as the rest of the series. We've all been truly spoiled by masterful storytelling with a great narrator. Overall, this is an adequate end to a long story in the mortoal relam. I'm eagerly waiting for the start of Wu Ying's immortal life. Thank you for the great story Tao.

Its not the end, end

loved it! even if I was heartbroken while reading knowing that this was the final book in the series. There's a sequal series so read without fear.

Great series, good story, bad choice for a final book.

I'm giving this 4 stars out of respect for the overall series. I think having a new upcoming series following the MC has lead to unfortunate choices in how to end his time in the middle kingdom. This felt rushed and honestly a bit hollow for an ending to what has been a very well written series.

Unlike others, I quite like the philosophical introspection in these books. However, that being essentially the primary focus of the finale was not the note I was hoping to end on. Combined with -- 1. seeing no aftermath of the massive conflict from the last book, 2. No meetings with old characters apart from his best friend / like three lines with his sister and 3. having him broken and defeated for the entirety of this book -- I felt a little cheated after watching him grow so much.

I don't mind the trope of nerfing the protagonist, and it did make some sense in context here with having to adapt his path. But I think this would have made a much better 2nd to last book, with the finale being Wu Ying repaying debts, setting up his family and saying goodbye before ascending.

I'll likely give the next series a try, more in the hope the start might provide some actual closure than out of any real excitement.

I love this series

A great ending to this series, I was a little worried after the last book but I feel this was a good ending for Wu Ying I just wish he got to say goodbye to his friends or at least we get to hear about them learning of his ascension
