Review: Enjoyable, informative, and well written! - Uncovering Chinese Mythology: A Beginner's Guide Into The World of Chinese Myths, Enchanting Tales, Folklore, Legendary Heroes, Gods, Divine Beings, and ... Creatures I really enjoyed. I love historical content and folklore, but often times find it difficult to invest in reading large tomes, where my attention gets lost, is time consuming, or have trouble understanding what's being written. What makes this book great is that it's short, concise, and easy to read, with informative examples of folklore, mythology, Gods, Heroes, even a brief History of China. Also, it’s broken down into categories, and organized really well. With this information, you can go on to investigate more detailed and longer works if you want to. For example, three subjects I found really fascinating and want to look into more is the Pangu being, The Monkey King (what an amazing story!) and the Magic Lotus Lantern story. A well-crafted, engaging piece by Lucas Russo!
Review: Highly recommended - I highly recommend this book. This book is exactly what the title promises: a beginner's guide to ancient Chinese myths. It is well-written and accessible. The author provides an overview of the basic gods, goddesses, legends, and explanations of the creation of the world and the cosmos that took form in ancient China. The subject is covered thoroughly in a plain but entertaining style. As a lifelong fan of Greek and Norse mythologies, I found the most striking difference between Western and Asian emphasis was fairly stark. Whereas tales of European gods and heroes emphasize individualism, self-interest, and a “might makes right” philosophy, the Chinese mythic tradition bends toward benevolence and the improvement of civilization to benefit society as a whole. No wonder that we Westerners only study, but do not embrace, our myths of origin, while even with the experiment of communism, the Chinese still celebrate their myths. I would be interested to read more from this author on this subject.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, Straight to the Point, but Amateurish
*by N***S on July 17, 2025*

This is the second self-published mythology book I purchased for a writing project, and I was happy with it. There is a good collection of mythology and historical background that relates in the book. Unlike another book I was purchase, all the sources appear to be reputable and semi-scholarly. As others have mentioned, the book does not go into a whole lot of detail on various myths it covers. This was mostly fine for my purposes, but the legends are heavily summariezed and don't have the best reading value. My only real issues was that the book would also benefit from some more editing and clean up. Several accented "A's" are printed incorrectly as blank squares, and the page numbers are all right justified for some reason. I also really wish the in-text citiations were instead footnotes, and that there was an index.
