Chaotic Sword God Chapter 1945 Discussion

honestly this novel is decent. The main character is nothing ground breaking. Very dull and plain personality that can be found in every wuxia novel. The “I won’t offend people but if they offend me I will slaughter them.” And the fake righteousness crap they keep spouting. The concept of one eye for two eyes, one tooth for the whole jaw. That’s pracrically the MC code of conduct throughout the novel. Not saying it’s bad but it is very plain and not well done here.

Very weak romance. I felt the best girl was the princess while that Shangguan was just an arrogant expert and the other one was a spoilt little princess. However at least one of the girls stays with him later on in the novel which is decent. He absolutely doesn’t respect his other two wives which is due to his dense personality.

The story is very intrinsic on plot armor. The author writes himself into a situation that can not be fixed without putting in plot armor. Spoiler[collapse] There was a time that he was practically killed and crippled by his enemies. Then the author revives him even though it would never have happened if they took his body to hang on a wall since he was pretty famous and they would have been praised. But no, the experts thought he was dead and left him alone making the author write: his heart began to beat again and his weapons saved him. Poor writing in my opinion and since his cultivation should have been crippled he changed his cultivatipn technique entirely and even the entire world changed with it too which is a joke.

The story suffers from too much thick thick plot armor and plenty of fillers. Once he becomes a supreme expert in his homeland the story halts and is unbearable to read. Some novels have fillers but this novel has filler arcs. And the final war in his homeland. Spoiler[collapse] it is the worst war I have ever read about. The enemy had plenty of chances to invade properly but they didn’t do so because of “pride” and this allowed the MC literally dozens of years to cultivate to get stronger. This was also during the filler arcs were small skirmishes occur. And then when the final boss appears a small battle occurred and then they shook hands and became best friends. The concept of enemies become friends goes too far in this novel. Like all the dozens of years of war and the hundreds of millions of lives lost merely for it to be solved in this way is ridiculous. Even though the final boss of the homeland knew Jiang Chen was progressing far too fast and he would rival him soon. He didn’t feel threatened because of his false sense of pride. Reconciling is good but when it is done poorly and because of the fear of mutual destruction it looks s*upid. They are supposed to be far too late in the battle to fear mutual destruction.

The cultivation technique is never explained properly other than that his body is powerful and he can jump levels. We don’t know to what extent he can jump levels because it’s all over the place.

You might be wondering why I rated this novel pretty high compared to all the hate I have for some parts. Honestly other than the shitty war with the final homeland enemies it’s story is not bad. The war arc which I assume went for around 500 chapters was unbearable to read and I indeed stopped reading. However I returned and skimmed through it to be very disappointed with the enemies decision making and the filler arcs it brought. It was an entire filler while MC trained, hanged with family and the world kept praising him. So in my opinion when the MC is weak the novel is good becuase it makes you see how s*upid he is for offending everyone when he could easily just ignore people or explain things properly. Instead he does things by using strength to solve which makes you wonder what he did in his old life. Anyways it’s really interesting to see him struggle and bring up a new clan in the upper realms. The story is all over the place and jumbled but the clan/kingdom building is spectacular and I really enjoy it. Even though they face super powerful opponents and he is saved by plot armor. It’s still an entertaining read. The best the novel has to offer is in the upper realms since everything is so much better. It really makes me wonder why I even read the novel when he was in the lower realms.
