Story
The story is based on the 16th century Chinese novel Journey to the West. Katsuya Terada's take on the legend of the Monkey King in a savage, lusty saga that The Portland Tribune calls "a Buddhist version of Conan the Barbarian.":
gollark: A giant cuboid of cloud blocks, like the PotatOS Institute.
gollark: Maybe I should buy it and site the PotatOS Institute² there.
gollark: What happened? What's going there now?
gollark: Wait, AlexDevs's's tower has been disassembled?!
gollark: I do have that. It isn't very precise. Probably could be with a block scanner and harder code.
