I read a bit of everything, but lean toward BG. Any book with a substantial review has been read in full. My taste is subjective. Dealbreakers: violent, coercive men; negative gender stereotypes; and golden fingers.

I couldn't fit in the comments, so I brought them to the comment area ww… The title of the novel is very secondary, but it is actually a serious fairy tale novel. This is the first time I have read it and it tastes so... Orthodox? Xianxia, in short this article should be regarded as a model in my mind. The title of the copy is a bit deceptive, but the main text is not in this style, it is not a love-hate entangled story. The following is a dark nonsense, although in the end I found that nothing seemed to be expressed well, and I was irritable... The author is outstanding in all aspects. He does not pile up words, his style is delicate and stable, and his writing is very charming. The only problem may be that I personally (emphasis!) Feel that the proportion of space is a bit unbalanced. The Blood Rusty Knife is relatively long, and there are no such long chapters in the future, which makes other subsequent parts a bit short, but it does not affect the overall narrative rhythm, which is a good thing. Sword Master is an early work by the author, and the overall feeling is that it is very mature. I read it in order from new to old, and my impression is that the standard has always been very high, and it is always improving. For people who are accustomed to reading online articles, this book may be a bit boring, and there are not so many ups and downs (I don't mean to say that this book is bad, but it may be a bit difficult to accept). Relatively speaking, the author's last two pure love books are more story-telling, more interesting in terms of plot, and are also very touching short stories, which are more in line with the taste of regular online books. I just wanted to read this book at the time, but ended up not even reading the beginning, so I took it as a starter (?). Now I personally still like the Sword Master OwO the most. The world view is great, the foreshadowing is well done, and the degree of completion is very high. Some plot foreshadowings were discovered, and some were unexpected. After reading it in one sitting, I felt more and more satisfied. There are no shortcomings, the story will continue (although as a reader, you may not be able to see it), and naturally there is nothing to be disappointed about. Almost every character can leave their own complex image in my impression. Not to mention the important characters, the descriptions of many characters can be felt to be careful and can stand up in a few chapters or even a few sentences. From the almost one-off Bima Mountain Six Bandits and the cat-faced old lady, to the staged old monster Chang Shi, Sheng Jingxiao, and Lu Jiaolin, to the long-spanning story lines of Qiu Shufeng and Bai Meng. Sometimes I really feel that this book is always fresh and new to me, and I still feel touched and enlightened after repeatedly reviewing my own insights and thoughts. Probably because the sword master has reached the highest point, the main theme of the story is not Shuangwenlu, but "all living beings". All kinds of characters are the epitome of the universe and the reflection of the world. What kind of person is Sword Master? He is an immortal, already standing on the misty clouds, a peerless immortal who has emerged from the world. He is a young man who has entered Taoism for the first time, an ordinary mortal who has gone from high-spirited and guarded to gray-haired with a bloody rusty knife. He is also a chivalrous person, a dashing, lively, true-hearted, compassionate chivalrous person. ——He is a very good person. What I like the most is the sentence "Kill the demons!" In the Four Seasons Wine section. It's just three words, but it always feels so cool. The first time I read this, it was like a dream, and it also brought some shock. Later, I realized that what I had glimpsed in my field of vision before was perhaps just a part of the person who made up Shuang Wenlu. I had only seen the Sword Master before, but now I realized for the first time what "seeing through the eyes" means. The second is the scene where the sword master gives some advice to Sheng Jingxiao, which is also a very amazing scene. Yes, many things in the world require talent, but liking it doesn't require talent—yes, liking this thing never requires talent. Speaking of it, it also woke up the person in the dream. I don't know when, but I also forgot about it. There are countless high-sounding names, and not all things need a seemingly noble reason, just because they "like" them. Because I like it, I don't want to give it up because I don't have the talent. Even without reading the text, you can still feel the author's thinking. The first time I was "amazed" was at Four Seasons Wine, and it was also the first time I clearly felt the chivalry reflected in the characters in this book. The relationship between immortals and knights in the author's writing is not just about "wanting to explain". Already aware of the vastness of the universe, I still pity the green grass and trees. I think nothing can sum up Xian and Xia better than this. Unlike most fairy tales on the market, which rely on external objects to set off and reflect the charm of the protagonist, the dual-text law is there. It is the sword master, the protector of the universe, and it is one with all things in the world. ——It is a few words, the magnanimity revealed naturally in the writing, such a clear-minded immortal and a free and easy knight.
It's very shocking, a very good article, the writing is clear and refreshing, and it has a sense of storytelling. The charm of having no CP is that the bright moon does not only shine on me, but what kind of person is the Sword Master? In fact, the full text has less of a main perspective, and more of it looks at the sword master through the eyes of the supporting characters. There is not a lot of gorgeous words, but a few strokes of writing are very expressive. He is just that kind of person, free and natural, as loose as jade. He is like a god who is not stained by the mortal world, but he is the softest and compassionate hero who rescues people in distress. He protects mortal beings, has an unparalleled sword intention, and the clearest and most transparent glass sword heart. Already aware of the vastness of the universe, I still pity the green grass and trees. The only problem is that the Blood Rust Knife chapter takes up too much, and by the end it already accounts for 50% of the entire story. If it were to be written chapter by chapter, I might have given up earlier. The story of this chapter is a bit heavy and depressing, and it is also a bit abrupt compared to the main plot. When I read the text, I thought it was a bking cool story about killing, killing, and killing. The sword master is indeed powerful, but the world of seeking truth is very heavy.
Finished pressing the claw [cat claw] I got it from the half-price event. It's a very beautiful article that fits (at least in my mind) the Chinese classical romantic fairy tale aesthetic. I've already recommended it to my friends [Like]
Great article, this quality shouldn't be offered in a half-price promotion
I love it so much. It is the best fairy tale I have ever read (not limited to Jinjiang) [Please] [Please] There is also the fairy spirit of the immortal cultivator, the fireworks of the world, and the boundless chivalrous love. Just like some sisters said in the comment area, after reading it, I don't feel sad or lost, there is only perfection. With the perfection of the universe, the story also comes to a peaceful end at the end. Although Jian Zun appears in the form of a max-level boss when he appears, in the chapter of Blood Rust Knife, the story of Jian Zun's human life is also glimpsed in the dream, which is another story of youthful spirit. I like the arrangement of this section very much. There are no abrupt memories. It reveals the past while also advancing the main story of the real timeline. Heaven and earth bow down, I follow my own way
It's finished. It's really good to read. I saw a different world of cultivating immortals. There is no male protagonist who climbs all the way up, and it's not a setting where golden fingers are everything. The Sword Master is an existence that transcends everything from the beginning. Everyone has their own way. It's a very good book.
Coming from other novels, the author's writing style and plot concept are very good. I still like the orthodox fairy tale novels~ The touching and thinking brought by the story are like fine wine and have a long aftertaste.
So happy, so warm, this is what I want to see about fairy tales, I want to go to the boss's column to find food [come on] [come on] [come on]
It is a perfect fairy tale novel. It is the world of immortality in my imagination. The right way is the real right way, and the evil way is also the real evil way.
[Cat's Claw] After watching "Cat Claw", the world view and supporting characters are carefully designed to be very interesting and lively. There are some interesting "discussions" in the middle, which is very interesting (the name and copywriting are a bit of a drag)
