DO IT. *romance... brotherhood... family... power*
First of all......
I'm here to say that this novel is actually one of the most deep and "poetic" novels that I have ever read. Aaaaand... I've read A LOT OF NOVELS.
- The topmost reviews are about poor translation quality. The translation quality has no issues (because it has been fixed recently I assume). In fact the translations are just as descriptive as the RAWS. I assure you.
- The characters all have depth. Although the MC is a bit OP and cold with his godsword, he has a bit of background and has reasons for his personality. All the characters in the story have a history that makes them who they are today and the author illustrates that very thing. The author also reveals the background and also the lives of the MC's 'brothers' when they are not with the MC (their family ties/lives, their loved ones, etc.). Each person has a depth to them (including enemies and occasionally side characters). *it's not SAO*
- The Stability of Updates:
the speed should be around 1-2 chapters a day if I'm not mistaken. Although around the time I am posting the review, the translations got suspended because of some transitioning. BE SURE TO CHECK HOW OLD THIS COMMENT IS BEFORE YOU JUDGE because the translations may have resumed by the time you're reading this.
TL;DR:
- The reviews against the "translation quality" are out-of-date. The translations are now very good. I assure you that if you like a smart MC, brotherhood concept, and a but of romance, this NOVEL IS FOR YOU.
You should trust me because I have read these novels every single day for many years. It won't let you down
2a. Story development : Its a typical "band of brothers" kind of xianxia. Mixed in with some Stephen Chow-ish humours of the 90s, and this is what you get.
2b. The story can get ridiculous at times, but its still very, very enjoyable. In "Xianxia common sense", this story really stretches some parts a bit, but still quite believable.
The world of TTNH makes me wonder how it really looks like
It's very well writen, the beggining is quite cliche but afterwards it walks an individual path (of glory), the system and the battles are good, the world building isn't perfect but it's very solid and has potential. The characters are one of it's strongest points, they aren't 1d but have personality and they are unique.
Something uncommon is that it's not a pure Xuanhuan story( at least in the first couple hundred chapters) but also involves strategy and politics, but not too much to make it boring, the author does a superb job keeping a good balance.
The translation quality isn't bad, it's just that the former one was better, but it's improving!
