Wuxiaworld's Teahouse

Tokki and Yojj are back—this time diving into The People’s God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend, a webnovel that somehow juggles 15 genre tags, 1697 chapters, and a main character whose starter followers are… locusts.Expect chaotic laughter as Yojj gushes about underdog stories (and accidentally retells the entire plot), while Tokki tries to keep the summary on track.
