Enjoyable read for fans of this genre - namley looking for an OP MC in a wuxia world. It doesn't do anything revolutionary so don't expect it to differ too much from the stereotypical wuxia novels. That being said, where it is refreshing is:
- Sword fighting driven plot
- Logical story progression
- Well rounded characters
- Weak/ little to no romance - this is because MC is stoic and rather dense to love interests and focuses on getting stronger
- Typical ridiculous Chinese distances used e.g. Million km traversed in seconds, 1000 km snakes, 30m sword etc
- Fillers/ padding of chapters can unnecessarily extend the writing.
- Plot holes e.g. Age of MC doesn't add up with timeline sometimes so author becomes more generalised with dates saying MC age is 300-400 etc
- Want romance - this novel has little and the female love interests from a romance point of view are very one dimensional
- Want a complete novel - at least 1000 chapters left/ 2-3 years of writing.
- Written translations are 1000+ chapters behind Chinese novel but there is a machine translation available on lnmtl
