    Do people actually find this character appealing? I don’t like monkeys very much, and I find this main character an immense turn off. Just curious if it’s a me thing or not.

      Wukong is an incredibly popular literary/mythic character in China and originally tied into Taoist religious beliefs. I guess if you just see him as a monkey you might not get the appeal.

          No offence taken! I don’t actually know anything about it other than it’s super popular in China. I saw a chart claiming that something like 85% of sales of this game were in China
