i've read quite a number of modern wuxia novels over the years and would like to say i've quite matured in the typical modern wuxia tropes, like a debauchee protag, a "seeking for death!" sentence, arrogant young master, blabla. I accidentally came into this novel expecting something similar (sometimes when youre bored u just kinda want that short "teaching arrogant young master" and getting the heroine dopamine ya know) but this is actually different. It has that classic novel feel to it (its a fan made fiction from a famous chinese classic), no standard cultivation levels, and the plot is very deep! Im at chapter 300 now and the unexplored world is still vast. NO cheap typical tropes, overall its a lot more deep, mature, and rewarding. The protag is smart, cunning, and powerful, also as you may have guessed a womanizer lol. I have never read Jin Yong's novel so at the start the various names and factions could be quite confusing but you will get used to it after sometime. I'd really recommend it for people that want something different than typical modern wuxia out there and i'd be really sad if I cant see the end for this translation!
