Where Have All the High-Quality High-Martial-Arts Stories Gone?
Looking for books like Reborn, I Tutor My Younger Sister and Shock the Nation. What kind of awful high-martial-arts stories are people writing these days? They all start with a spiritual power or awakening test, where the protagonist gets looked down on. Then some school beauty from another class has the highest talent or whatever, and he does too. Are there any that don’t...

It's good, but the rating is too low. What seems like a single protagonist is actually an ensemble piece, and the villains are also portrayed with depth and complexity. The protagonist isn't a saint or cold-blooded; they understand others and uphold morality. Highly recommended!
The storyline is clearly written, containing metaphors about humans and demons, as well as Taoist ideas, and maintaining a sense of everyday life amidst the demon-slaying adventures. The author's writing style and intelligence are both excellent, and the novel is already quite engaging. It's very surprising that such a good work only has a 5.6 Rating.
This book is absolutely fantastic, five stars wouldn't be an exaggeration! 🌟 The content is solid, the structure is clear, and it reads smoothly; you can feel the author's dedication. After finishing it, I was deeply moved and couldn't help but want to share it with my friends 📚. A truly worthwhile book to read again and again!!
The paper figures parading through the streets gave me the creeps! 😏😏 The author's atmosphere-building is superb, but the protagonist is too carefree; even after encountering a ghost, he's still thinking about the good old days in Jiangnan. The comedic effect directly offsets the horror. 😎😎😎
The pacing is tight, the points are quite valid, and it's worth watching.
It's so good! I don't know how many times I cried while reading this novel. It's really so good. It reminded me that the reason we have peaceful days is because someone is bearing the burden—soldiers in ancient times and soldiers in modern times.
This novel is a thoroughly enjoyable read, with a wildly imaginative plot full of unexpected twists and turns. The intricately woven storyline unfolds with layers of mystery, making it difficult to predict the truth until the very end. The characters' fates rise and fall, suspense permeates the entire story, and the pacing is captivating, making it impossible to put down.
In an era of rampant empty talk, such a remarkable work still exists. Without going into too much or too little, it's not a top-tier novel, but it's still a fine read. [Learned][Learned] When reading comments, pay more attention to those that are longer. I think the bad comments are only a few tens of minutes or even an hour or two long. In an era where there are so many light novels out there, what more could you ask for?
The paper figures parading through the streets gave me goosebumps. The author's atmosphere-building was superb, but the protagonist was too carefree; even after encountering ghosts, he was still thinking about the good old days in Jiangnan. The comedic effect directly offset the horror. 🤔🤔🤔🤔 This sense of contradiction is so addictive!
The orthodox tradition has collapsed, demons roam freely, the protagonist pretends to be weak while actually being strong, decisive in killing, a satisfying and enjoyable read [I understand]. The writing is smooth, in a word, satisfying.
