[Western fantasy, sword and sorcery, wuxia, no System, pseudo-invincible]
After working as an escort, rooting out criminals, seeking out challengers, and traveling far and wide in the martial world he had transmigrated into, Shangguan Mingyun, a man from the twenty-first century, finally made a name for himself in the vast jianghu. But luck was not on his side. After he ran into a thief who seemed strangely familiar and was forced to accept a bundle of secret manuals containing the forbidden secrets of various sects, he found himself hunted by nearly half the martial world. In the end, surrounded by a crowd of experts, he had no choice but to fall off a cliff. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself staring at a monster with an eagle’s head and a lion’s body!
After dealing with the griffin and spending some time recovering, Shangguan Mingyun realized he seemed to have transmigrated again.
And this time, it was a Western fantasy world of swords and sorcery?
Shangguan Mingyun was thrilled all over again, but soon ran into a major problem: he couldn’t understand the language!
How was anyone supposed to make sense of a bunch of indecipherable scribbles?
After all kinds of incidents, and struggling with a language he couldn’t understand and writing that looked like gibberish, he finally met a hooded little wizard who was “willing” to communicate with him through gestures.
Some unknown amount of time later

Watching the little wizard trying so hard to get the message across, Shangguan Mingyun felt a pang of sympathy...
Years later, during an interview with a reporter from the Cross Federation, Shangguan Mingyun sighed deeply in front of a magic imaging mirror.
“If I could do it all over again, I absolutely wouldn’t have drunk that translation potion just to save myself some trouble.”
As he spoke, he rubbed his somewhat prickly ears.
The male protagonist is not perfect; survival is his priority, and his outward behavior changes with the situation. His personality is not static throughout the story. There are information gaps between the various characters, each with their own desires and defenses, and some who like to let their minds wander.
It's quite well-written; the writing style and character portrayals are very expressive. It's clear the author has poured their heart and soul into the world and characters they've created. I'm currently following twenty or thirty books, but whenever this one updates (unless there's unforeseen circumstances), one of my three daily "love-themed" posts will definitely be reserved for this book (you…
This is a decent transmigration story, and it suddenly reminded me of Mo Jian Liu Xiang's comics. I hope it doesn't end with a bunch of people and countries fighting like madmen, making it impossible for readers to distinguish friend from foe.
It's a work with a strong personal style, but the author's deliberate focus on supporting characters' storylines and neglect of others' opinions of the protagonist creates a certain reading barrier. It's a good work, but not one that meets mainstream expectations.
It's alright, but the beginning is a bit messy, so you need to read it carefully and slowly, otherwise you might get confused. However, the subject matter is good, so it's still acceptable. I'll give it 4 stars for now and see how it develops later. If it improves, I'll give it 5 stars.
Recently, Tomato has been publishing a lot of books that don't fit the current trend. I didn't expect to find some good books while listening to mindless, feel-good novels.
I really like it. No tedious chronological descriptions. No clichéd moves. It has detailed fight scenes. 🙂🤭😄
This book tells the story of a martial arts master, also known as a bodyguard, who unexpectedly travels to a magical medieval world. It features the clash between martial arts skills, internal energy, and incantation magic. Being in a different world where they can only communicate through hand gestures due to a language barrier, the protagonist is decisive and ruthless.
It's great! I don't quite agree with some of the shortcomings mentioned in the other comments; maybe it's just a matter of perspective. Anyway, keep up the good work, author! Update soon!
Will the protagonist's current squad be killed off?
