   Reader note

   The ones they recommended were all a bit lacking. As for *The Knight's Journey*, a Western fantasy novel by a seasoned avid reader, it probably needs no introduction. The author, Xiaodou, is a ten-year veteran, and her writing style and epic feel are top-notch. Moreover, the feeling of time flying by in her thousands of chapters is unmatched by other Western fantasy novels. *Ash Lord* is one of the trilogy of *The Knight's Journey* (I won't go into too much detail; read *The Knight's Journey* first, then *Ash Lord*). That means, including the yet-to-be-written third part, the entire novel will have a minimum of 15,000 chapters (nearly 100 million words), enough to keep you reading for over ten years (based on the update speed). The other two are the ones I'm currently following; both are of good quality, especially *Wolf Pack*, whose rating is really undeserved. The author has also written multiple parts (meaning enough to keep you reading for a long time). The writing is impeccable, though the epic feel is definitely not as good as *The Knight's Journey*. *The Witcher* can be read as an introduction to Western fantasy; the setting is good, and the writing is excellent, but the author didn't have enough time, so the ending was rushed (a happy ending). PS: The Western fantasy novels I recommend are all pure and unadulterated, unlike others with systems or chaotic structures. In short, trust me, a seasoned Western fantasy reader!

    A gem has been struck! This Western fantasy novel holds the true essence of traditional fantasy. If you're a devoted follower of traditional Western fantasy, always reminiscing about the days when you were thrilled by "swords and magic" and excited by "heroic growth," then *Between Light and Shadow: The Cowardly Knight* will definitely surprise you. It avoids flashy tropes, relying solely on solid settings and a moving story to recreate the purest fantasy world in the hearts of Western fantasy fans. The story unfolds on a continent brimming with medieval charm: in the blacksmith's shop of Sunset Castle, the crackling fire reflects the aspirations in the eyes of young Sen Helkin; on the stone walls of Holy Mountain Academy, magical runes flow under the moonlight, the chanting of apprentices intertwining with the clash of swords to create a unique rhythm; outside the human city-states, endless forests stretch for miles, concealing magical realms guarded by the elves, while orc tribes inhabit the wilderness. The power system here is exceptionally rigorous, with no shortcuts to instant advancement. Magic apprentices must begin by sensing the four elements of wind, fire, water, and earth, practicing repeatedly to condense even a faint magical glow. Magic warriors must explore the fusion of magic and martial arts through countless sword swings and incantations. The forbidden spells of archmages require decades of magical accumulation, each cast imbued with reverence for power, perfectly aligning with the hardcore core of traditional Western fantasy. The protagonist, Sen Helkin, exemplifies the growth of an "ordinary hero." He is not a born savior, but merely the son of a blacksmith who hesitates due to cowardice, harboring two simple desires: first, to become the guardian knight of the Holy Maiden of Light, protecting his faith; and second, to conceal his budding affection for Princess Ice Moon, keeping it hidden from others. It is precisely this "imperfection" that makes his transformation feel more real—after entering the Holy Mountain Academy, he meets the forthright Heri Sunrise, who always gives him a push when he hesitates; he befriends Shan, a mage who controls flames, whose courage teaches him that "bravery is not the absence of fear, but moving forward despite fear"; and there is also the righteous Edward Sylva. The three of them form an "alliance against the heavens" with Sen to fight against the oppression of the nobles in the academy. They get into trouble together, train together, and stand up for each other in times of crisis. This friendship, which grows stronger in adversity, is very similar to the bond of the Fellowship of the Ring in "The Lord of the Rings," allowing you to feel the romanticism of "companions are strength" in Western fantasy amidst the passion. The richness of the racial settings injects a vibrant tension into this world. The elves, favored by nature, live in seclusion in the magical forest, possessing unparalleled archery skills and using ancient magic to protect the forest's balance. The orcs, who revere strength, have tribes scattered across the wilderness, fighting fearlessly for survival and tribal honor—the plot point of "the Helmyn Empire plundering the endless forest's resources, triggering a war between the orc tribes and humans" not only ignites the plot's conflict but also profoundly showcases the entanglements of interests and cultural clashes between different races. The dragons, as legendary "top-tier warriors," though not frequently appearing yet, remain a significant mystery: slumbering in ancient mountains, they are said to possess world-destroying power, perhaps the key beings the forest will need to confront or rely on in its search for the "Four Sacred Relics." These races are not merely "background figures," but crucial pillars connecting the world's structure and driving the plot forward. The book's plot also vividly showcases classic elements of traditional Western fantasy. In the mysterious ancient ruins, the legacy of the Archmage Alpha is inscribed on rune-covered stone walls, with powerful guardian beasts guarding the entrance. The protagonist group must solve layers of puzzles and avoid deadly traps to touch the power of the legacy, making every step thrilling and exciting. In the grand battle scenes, magic and martial arts clash fiercely—mages chant spells, summoning fireballs and ice shards to build a solid magical barrier; knights ride warhorses, wielding longswords as they charge into battle, the shouts of battle deafening, blood and glory intertwined, making the audience feel as if they are there. Even Sen's choices in his growth are full of the colors of a Western fantasy hero—facing the pursuit of the Holy See and the departure of his loved ones, he goes from initial confusion and retreat to taking the initiative to shoulder the mission of "collecting the four sacred artifacts and saving his loved ones," completing his transformation from a "cowardly boy" to a "brave knight." "Between Light and Shadow: The Cowardly Knight" unfolds at a leisurely pace, with the author using delicate strokes to depict the characters' psychological changes and portray every detail of the world—from magical exercises in the Holy Mountain Academy classroom to tense explorations in ruins, and life-or-death battles on the battlefield, every scene is vivid and lifelike. While reading, you will find yourself unconsciously following Sen's footsteps, rejoicing in his progress, feeling heartache for his predicaments, and being moved by his friendships. If you're looking for a novel that allows you to immerse yourself in the charm of traditional Western fantasy, then this is definitely worth reading. It will help you rediscover your initial passion for Western fantasy novels, allowing you to feel the passion and romance of ordinary heroes in a world of swords and magic.

    Reader note

    The first book is a more serious Western fantasy, but with a few other elements added. It has no system or powerful cheat codes. The author's writing is excellent, and she frequently interacts with readers. The low rating is due to a small number of readers—less than two hundred. However, it's been a long time in the making, with over a million words, and is basically engaging. Highly recommended; it's bound to be a hit, although I already said so last year. The other two books are also orthodox Western fantasy without systems. The protagonists aren't overwhelmingly powerful, and the writing is excellent. Their low ratings are for the same reason as the previous ones: too few readers, making it difficult to raise the ratings, but the quality is sufficient. The second book features a truly ordinary protagonist—the lowest talent among the three, even ranking in the top ten of the entire Western fantasy genre. He's purely physical, with some minor development later, but remains a berserker focused on visceral combat. The title of the last book, "Tomato Saitama," significantly lowers its rating. While it seems entertaining, it's not actually lighthearted at all, discussing many realistic issues. Whether the third book has a system is debatable; it likely does, but it's not very useful. His biggest cheat code is his realistic talent.
