   If you're looking for something to read, give this martial arts crossover novel a try. The protagonist is the type who accumulates strength gradually, lying low for twenty years waiting for his opportunity. After rising to power, he handles everything with composure and rarely finds himself in dire straits. You'll see many familiar female martial arts characters in the book, and the plot rewrites are reasonable, not mindless forced insertions. The later plot, with its rebellion and rise to kingship, expands the scope, intertwining the conflicts of the martial arts world and the wider society, making it increasingly engaging as it progresses.
