The Returning Sword Immortal

I think many of the readers' names could be used as supporting characters! Song Qingyi, Lu Xuejue, Shang Xinsu, Xiao Zuixian. I've decided! I'm going to use the fan rankings to name the extras! Besides the Qin Feiyan mini-drama, I have another personal thread now!

Some of the supernatural powers, spells, and even characters that Fei Xiaoxiao has created have names that are simply appalling. It's like turning a perfectly respectable European royal family into an African chieftain. Let's create a name-contributing thread here, where everyone can contribute some good names for Fei Xiaoxiao to choose from.

Honestly, I've never read a book that infuriated me so much. The free chapters at the beginning were so weak, with endless repetition of the same old thing and a bunch of explanations that were all just bullshit! They also like to pile on settings, much like the newbie's problem when asking questions on Zhihu. They pour settings into your mouth like cookies, one after another.

The most compelling parts of this book are probably the first two chapters. They leave a lasting impression. No matter how the enemy insults, humiliates, or slanders the protagonist, he remains silent throughout, only retaliating with his sword. In the face of utter desperation, he chooses to shatter rather than surrender. His cold, lonely, resolute, and tormented character immediately resonates with the reader.

The writing is rambling and verbose, longer than an old woman's foot binding cloth, and utterly stinky. Only the first chapter has decent descriptions of the scenery; the rest of the chapters, with their psychological descriptions of the protagonist and the struggles between sects, are utterly pointless.

Honestly, the later parts are a hundred times better than the beginning. I read it while complaining, but thankfully, it wasn't lying to me; it really is much better. However, if your next story is this verbose, you'll definitely lose your readers. There are many good stories with multiple settings.

The author seems to be overly concerned with explaining various things. Explaining a cultivation technique's progression to a specific realm is acceptable. However, the author's repeated explanations of a person's attitude or the motivation behind their actions, perhaps out of fear of creating negative connotations, are unnecessary and even contradictory. This is unacceptable.

I came in for free. The following is my personal opinion; I couldn't continue reading after chapter 26. Take the practice of Qinglian Zen as an example. To give you an analogy, this author's writing is like an old-fashioned elementary school student's diary, like, "Today Mom cooked a meal, how much rice and water she used, how many spoonfuls of salt she put in the vegetables, and finally, 'The…
