The northern frontier is bitterly cold. Xie Guanlan has guarded the books at Tingtao Academy for twenty years. He believes that a gentleman uses words, not his fists, until the heir of the Prince of the Commandery tramples the academy’s plaque beneath his horse, burns down the library, and publicly humiliates the old dean to death.
That night, he burns the library himself and comes to a realization amid the flames: when reasoning with beasts, use a sword.
He turns poetry into swordsmanship, killing one person with every step, and becomes a fugitive from then on. He encounters the red-clad assassin Ye Fuyi, outwits the Imperial Preceptor in the capital, heads north to repel the northern barbarians, and ultimately fights his way up to the Ninth Heaven to sever the Ladder to Heaven. Literary spirit is sword energy. When the law fails, the sword in your hand is the final word.
After reading the first volume, I would like to briefly describe my current feelings in various aspects: Theme: 6 points. The traditional world view that combines martial arts and immortality. The male protagonist, a scholar who is partial to a mage, is relatively successful. However, there are some things in the world view that are not explained clearly, such as realm cultivation and so on. It makes me feel a little dizzy when I look at it. Logic: 4 points. From the early stage, I really can't give you much for this. Maybe it's because I have limited acceptance of this kind of "what you say follows your words" setting. It feels a bit too mindless to enjoy. From a macro perspective, the first volume already has a long-term feeling at the end. I hope I can stick to it in the future. Emotion: 8 points. I really can't help but give this one a higher rating. I really like this setting of mage male x assassin female. The emotional line and the main plot advance each other. Although there are occasionally clichéd heroes saving beauties, the female protagonist also has some highlights of her own. For a male story, it is a relatively balanced duo. Anyway, as a female reader, I think it's okay and I don't feel uncomfortable. Writing style: 7 points. I'm very confused about how to give this. Anyway, there are several 10-point amazing descriptions in every chapter or two. It can be seen that the author is working hard, but there are a few sentences that are repeated over and over again. It looked a bit funny at first, but then I was so angry that I wanted to give 0 points... Let's compromise and give it a 7. After all, this kind of repetition has basically disappeared in the last few chapters of the first volume, and it is best not to do so later. It will feel more comfortable to read after this paragraph. Overall, this book is about three and a half to four stars. I would like to give five stars to encourage the author. After all, such a long novel is not very popular, and it is not easy to finish it. I hope more people will have the patience to read it! [Top post][top post][top post]
The book is okay, but the three pieces of ice are really convincing 😂 I can't stand it anymore. There are too many repetitive and cumbersome things that make people uncomfortable. The framework is pretty good
Suitable for patient reading. I can't stand it. I gave it 5 stars. Good luck to the author.
