Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 1109 Discussion

Update review at c1109

I would recommend this for anyone who likes Kn novels and experienced readers who enjoy action, fight scenes alot because they are very well written, there's no skipping and are detailed both for the opponents and protagonists. As for romance there's none, if looking for romance it's better not to read, whether romance or 18+ scenes there's none, and no arranged marriages or engagements.

This is a story about improvement and survival in my opinion, with a touch of comedy, which almost makes me forget the sentimental feeling.

The Protagonist, Chung Myung reincarnates a 100 years later with his memories only to realise that his sect has fallen, not completely but it's barely hanging, he's outraged and seems to blame himself because in his past life he was a well known sword man from the sect and he fought together with his sect to defeat the heavenly demon, resulting in a massacre of his sect. But now those who actually were left were taken advantaged off leading to a decline so he blames himself for not surviving to help those who were left.

The first 400 or 500 chapters are basically him trying to pick uo the sect, he becomes very much aware of the personality of the sect leader and it's clear that he is a righteous person and not like the 9 sects who are righteous yet still hypocrites, he dislikes this but nit the sect leader, even the members are just people welding the name mount hua with nothing to show off. He begins training them, helps them make money. Nothing much, overall it's all sect building, making allies and all. Now with what I've read so far, now at c1109. The cons for this novel

• The 5 characters who are close to him in the sect always want to coddle him, if the sect leader stops MC from fighting he sulks (lol) or feels down to earth these 5 will stand afar and make jokes about his nasty personality and whether he's gonna disobey. It's a repetitive joke and it's sometimes untimely.
• MC has to constantly explain to them to leave the 9 sects alone because they will never ever help them, they didn't before he arrived so why would they now. But the sect leader is too good, he never listens and has hope (it's a good thing but it irked me alot especially since they were now independent and had their own allies and were capable of even handling the 9 sects, it's already been a 1000 chapters and despite the constant fights, insults he still has hope (this happens many times and it's only once we see him agree and that's at the tournament)
• Also Talking, the characters talk too much, they can have a meeting for 5 chapters, then complain for another 5. MC has to constantly (not an exaggeration) remind them or change their ignorant views on matters.
• Mount hua is similar to a sheltered person really, they are absolutely ignorant and a bit naive, hence the long chapters we get that have MC explain some philosophy and mindsets idk if author is explaining to readers or they get carried away.
• You can hate and like a character in just one chapter because authors writing style is unpredictable. It's as if they want to make you angry then appease Yoh as a reader so you don't drop it. I've come to dislike the sect leader many times, together with the 5 dragons whom are supposed to be on MC side but for people close to him they are easy to hate.
• Sect leader Hyun Jong (sigh) even the villain I liked better.

As for the pros

• Mc's personality is really unique, he's hot headed, but very intelligent (from reading about his past, you can tell he was back then but had let his then sect leader and seniors do all the thinking - probably also the many reasons he has regrets, because he must feel that he could've stopped them from going to battle against the cult)
• The antagonists are the 9 sects and these guys have been getting fat over power faster the war against the cult but the main antogonists is the demon cult which has been hiding for centuries in order to come back and these guys are stronger than the unorthodox and orthodox sects. They are really strong and it's not just for show, I like that a lot because wuxia novels tend to make it is like it is entirely impossible to default the heavenly demon but protagonist just kills him and his followers just disappear.
• Demon cult are fanatics and if you have any doubt you die. No mercy, for a comedy most of the villains are ruthless and don't leave anyone alive
• MC is ruthless too, when he fights he fights to kill, but holds back most of the time, again in respect to his sect and the sect leader but when against the enemy he let's them know that they should not stop him.
• There's also this unlikable villain (lol), very unlikable and powerful, not associated with the demon cult, he's feared by everyome except the MC who's faced the heavenly demon of course but MC is still wary (good, I don't like reckless protagonists)
• There's no extra nonsense of face slapping the young masters, and drinking elixirs after elixirs to increase strength, they train most of the time
• Reading this you might think it's all about the nine sects, training and the unorthodox but we do come across the demon cult, to me this was a good introduction because the only setting we got before was these guys were hard to beat and would kill without hesitation, was from the MC. We then get to see them in action but MC realises that these guys they've met are just a clumsy imitation meaning although they are from the cult they are from the bottom, the 5 were struggling with this guys thou then realise the danger of cult, if these guys are weak then the real ones must be really strong, this setting comes to play when they actually meet the cult members at 1000, at this point it isn't the full cult thou, so danger level rises again, and keeps the anticipation of how strong is the heavenly demon thou
• MC and the heavenly demon are beings that go against logic, even MC acknowledges this because they are both just too strong. MC and heavenly are similar yet different, HD wants power and is powerful and MC isthe best and powerful too. MC is someone who care about gaining his power without having to kill masses
  and doesn't care if you decide not to listen to him, it's your own choice while HD doesn't care about killing and he wants absolute obedience. They were both at the peak and were gonna fight even in this era they will still fight like it's destiny

I really enjoy reading this and has become my favorite, annnnnd there's no such thing as using the side characters close to MC as stepping stones to introduce a so called important character, everybody has their back story but it's not in our face, the focus is on mount hua and the MC and it doesn't deviate.
