Martial Arts Master

bit.ly/3LyRF1N

280 chapters in.

This novel desperately needs an editor. Disciples become discipline, males turn into females, tenses get mixed up a lot and sentence construction is often awkward. Typos happen to everyone but seeing multiple such cases in every chapter quickly becomes annoying.

Overall story development and character design is very average. MC lacks both a real goal other than "get strong" and a real rival. So although the fights aren't exactly poorly written, they feel dull to read because there is absolutely no suspense. Similarly his growth doesn't feel special as there is no risk or struggle involved. MCs master seems to exist only to act surprised at his progress.

I do appreciate that his romantic interest remains relevant throughout the story, however the way its presented could use some work. Telling me what kind of emojis his girlfriend uses in her texts is just a waste of space. Not to mention she doesn't have anything going for her other than looks, which brings us to the next issue.

A lot of characters seem to serve no purpose other than cheering in tournaments. They bring neither drama nor comedy, they don't give insight into the world, they don't help develop MC. Especially the female characters - typically to the genre, they exist mostly for romance. For a novel set in past, this could be explained somewhat convincingly, however for one set in modern times?

Can't say much negative about world building as its basically a clone of modern world with martial artists thrown into it. However it does lack exposition in this regard - surely the inner workings and rules of society should have changed to accommodate people with supernatural abilities, yet the novel seems to barely gloss over such issues.

TL;DR Overall, its not the worst novel, especially if you can ignore its weak points and glaring lack of editing. However, would I put it on my recommended list? No.

i ll give it a full 5 stars for now. Wish there was sample chapter for these new books to see if it would catch my interest.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Its an ok story, if the goddamn girlfriend filler chapters were cut out it would be way better. Holy crap sometimes i wonder if the author is obessed with trying to make it seem like young romance. Why does half the chapter have to be texts between the mc and his girl?!?! Jesus Christ he even describes the emojis! You can just look at the chapters name and if it sounds like his girl is a part of it just skip it as nothing interesting happens. This novel is so full of nonsense its not even funny. A sadly watered down story that vividly describes emojis is my final say.

Thank you for reading my rant btw

Honestly the total of chapters is around 750. The novel is really good, but it got dropped by the translators.
Please someone pick it up. Even if it goes premium, I’m up for it.

Honestly the book that got me to switch to buying Spirit Stones instead of coasting by on free chapters and daily rewards. It's a shame that this has seen so many issues with keeping a translation team, especially with the quality of the story.

I'd like to call this a slice of life martial arts story. Our lucky protagonist manages to find an ancient martial inheritance, pursue the girl he's crushed on since high school and slowly climb the ranks of the martial arts world. There is a fair bit of violence and a loy of good action so it's not all peaceful and quiet either.

Qidan, please get this one going again, it's one of my two favorite stories on this site and I want to read more.

Don't mind me. I'm only hear to experience a romance which probably I'll never have.

I added this to my library thanks to all the positive comments about the romance. I most likely won’t be reading this now.

If I read it i’ll come back and give my review,
Stay blessed my fellow Daoists.
May the Lord continue to show you favor

finished . posted a review so all new readers can check that out if they want

Since many people rate this novel badly for a stupid reason (slow pace, boring). I'll give 5 stars. Come on guys you read too much op nonsense novel. If you rate a novel 1 just because it is slow, then 90% of western novels are bad

This novel is written by the same author of throne of magical arcana, which is currently my favorite CN. So I have my hopes high for this novel

I'll change my rating later

This is not a martial arts novel this is a slice of life romance novel about a guy who's trying to woo a girl and uses martial arts to do it.

Ok, first off, let me negate all the low ratings. Secondly, I know that a lot of people have been gathering hate for this in the past few days (weeks) because of the fillers and the romance.
Well let me tell you. This Is A Classic!
It occured to me that the author is now aiming for this novel to have a tv series adaptation going by feel and nature of this story.
As a classic CN would have that "classical" feel of love on the battlefield, a true polymerization of Action and Romance, a blend of youthful vibes and adrenaline if all kinds, a combination of....
Ak pui~ who am I kidding!? This is a Korean Drama for pete's sake!
Read this novel and you'll get a girlfriend, that's all I have to say.
