Chaotic Sword God Chapter 1672 Discussion

I am actually quite surprised.

I will be honest and I will tell that I don't like xianxias. The worlds created by the author there are superb, but everything else is lacking.

Chaotic Sword God suffers from the same tropes as any other xianxia where people are offended over minor things and then want to wipe out your friends and family. And also of course there are plot holes, plot armor, written off characters, underdeveloped characters, some odd plot lines and some odd romantic lines and of course a power creep.

Despite that I reached more than 1500+ which is the achievement for xianxia, meaning the it is the story you can actually enjoy. I think what allowed this novel to achieve that and make me read through more chapters than usual is

• MC itself, who is not genocidal out of spite (imagine saying that as a good trait)
• The feeling of time in the story, where characters grow old and die
• MC that can actually make friends
• You can actually feel sad for the charactersSpoiler

  Knowing that the time really flows in the story, I feel sad for the characters left behind after MC went to the higher realm. I was also surprised that his harem did not become strong enough to travel with him, which is quite rare. Knowing the time really flows in the story, MC might really lose a lot of people who will die from old age like several characters in the story. Though probably it won't happen. Honestly I would be quite sad if his two harem members die later.

Overall, I was surprised myself that I reached to that amount of chapters.

P.S. Though I suspect that the story will decline now because I have finished the major arc that concludes the original world story and xianxias usually start to fall apart after that due to reusing the same tropes and plot lines on a grand scale

Story still stays strong which is very surprising. MC is honest to himself, still not hypocrite and still evolves. His powers are being recognized and people don't oppose him out of spite. He is well known and decently treated across the story. The relations with other characters are also nicely developed. Really surprised the story last that long and did not decline.
