Summary

Xu Yan enters the online game Honghuang, set in an ancient mythological background. Outside the newbie village, he is chased by a wild wolf into a cave, rescues the trapped NPC Su You, and obtains from a green wood box a spell for sprouting plants and seeds of honeysuckle and mint. He soon discovers that honeysuckle vines can both entangle and control beasts and serve as weapons to kill enemies with a dagger, and uses this to level up repeatedly in the forest and accumulate materials. After that, he receives the Wood Codex from Su You, learns dew-drinking and cultivation techniques, and step by step travels through Honghuang by wood-element means, dealing with players, NPCs, and even powerful figures in the Biyou Palace, writing a legend of wood-controlled combat amid light and amusing daily life.

Editor's review

This is a lighthearted, comedic pure VRMMO novel. Its core appeal is using plants such as honeysuckle vines to pull off control-plus-damage tricks; the early monster-fighting and leveling pace is brisk, the protagonist is cheeky and funny, and his interactions with NPCs are enjoyable, making it suitable for readers looking for light entertainment. The weakness is that the style is flighty with a lot of snark, and the later conflict passages with the Three Xiaos and others are long on trash talk, so readers seeking rigorous settings or orthodox Honghuang narrative may find it unsatisfying.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Readers who like lighthearted comedic VRMMO novels
Players interested in plant-based powers or wood-element skills
Readers who like the Honghuang mythological background but don't want it too serious
Commuting readers looking for a completed short novel to pass the time

Not a good fit for

Readers who prefer serious, orthodox Honghuang settings
Readers impatient with large amounts of snark and trash talk

Reading tips

Focus early on the evolution of how the honeysuckle vine is used; the sense of growth is strongest in this cultivation-style progression.
When you hit long passages of trash talk, skim them; it won't affect understanding of the main plot.
Treat this book as light reading for commuting or bedtime; don't chase detailed historical accuracy.
