Reason I first liked it was because it used one of my fav characters from Jin Yong's novels' shared universe as an opening!!!Spoiler
though it really is a disappointment at how the author portrays him anyways. Gives a bad impression to the man who seeks defeat.
[collapse]It was a hit when I first began reading the translations when the started popping up on GT. Then... it went down hill as I read and waited, read and waited. The plot slowed down like he pulled the breaks hard almost as if all his gas was used developing the first set of chapters.After the first 50 or so chapters we enter a period of 'mercenary recycling' that makes the Endless8 from SuzuHaru look amazing as it makes sense as that ties into the movie. As for CSG... it's like what.... 300 chapters of mercenary life back and forth with recycled antagonist personalities where the MC rarely gets any stronger and the author attempts to build more on what the world is all about, these weapons, etc that it makes it very boring to read.By the time you get past all that does the story gets any progress in plot. Of which the MC gets faster boosts in strength in 100 chapters than it did in 300 that it took getting here. Around the 450 point was it iirc that the whole 'chaotic' part actually become relevant to the story.You know what really urks me the most? How all his opponents die with a slit throat!Only positive part I've felt was that there was no harem or lusting in these 500 chapters, making it decent enough to warrant 2 stars.
