Chaotic Sword God Chapter 527 Discussion

Let me start of by addressing some of the concerns in other reviews.

Does it have filler? Yes. Tons of it and with the number of chapters you could skip a lot of it. I would have skipped nearly 100 chapters without missing any thing in the story

Is it repetitive? Yes. It has the repetition - Go to a new region, offend someone stronger, fight and then later escape. This is the recurring theme of the story.

Is it s*upid? Yes. Some parts but the last 100 chapters started getting on my nerves. Lets take the latest arc - Heavenly Eagle Kingdom mini arc which again adds a someone new to the "offend someone stronger" story point.

The whole setup is forced case of "mistaken identity" and makes no sense at all:

Spoiler

1. MC has a fondness of the name of "Jian Chen" instead of his name actual name - Changyang Xiangtian. So when he arrives to support his homeland - Gensun Kingdom along with help from Qinhuang Kingdom no one is sure who he is or why the help has arrived from a superior kingdom.

2. When Heavenly Eagle Kingdom comes around to ask, the Gensun Kingdom King is also not sure as he is not aware of the name "Jian Chen".

3. So the Heavenly Eagle prince asks for Gensun Kingdon princess' hand in marriage.

4. Now when the king is made aware that "Jian Chen" and "Changyang Xiangtian" are the same person, he leaves the Heavenly Eagle people hanging and runs away to Lore City to meet MC. You have to wonder why couldn't he just say - Sorry just found out my daughter is already engaged to "Qinhuang Imperial Protector"? Mind you he doesn't shy away from using this identity later.

5. Jian Chen arrives along with king to the Imperial capital and has a confrontation with the Heavenly Eagle prince. He too conveniently forgets to mention that he is the Imperial Protector.

6. Jian Chen gets attacked by some guys and fend them off. He still keeps mum about the whole Imperial Protector thing.

7. Based on the confrontation Heavenly Eagle king sends some "seniors" to capture the king and Changyang Xiangtian. During this confrontation again no one tells them that "Changyang Xiangtian" is the Imperial protector.

8. Jian Chen is infuriated. No, its not at him being s*upid for not trying and suppressing Heavenly Eagle people but because they attacked him.

9. He gets a team of soldiers and attacks Heavenly Eagle Kingdom when shock! Horror! Its revealed he is the Imperial Protector.

10. This leads to him offending the Sect of Dragon and Tiger "Saint Ruler"

There is another unnecessary waste of pages within the above series of events:

Changyang Xiangtian makes it home and his father and mother are happy that he is a Heavenly Saint. They want to publicize this fact but he stops them because it will shock people that is so young and someone might try to kill him. But later when he starts going around attacking other Heavenly Saints who know his identity of - Changyang Xiangtian and can easily find that he reached Heavenly Saint at age 21.

I still rated it 3 because I liked the story before the last 100 chapters. Author seems to have lost his edge and seems to be making up story as he goes.
