The Splendor of the Jianghu

I had nothing much to do this morning, so I thought I'd share my thoughts and expectations for this book. From the moment I started submitting it until now, the only thing I feel isn't great is the excessively rapid progression of power levels at the beginning. It creates a sense of imbalance; how to put it...

I tend to agree with being too lazy to think – laziness is a state of mind, and people usually become lazy within the bounds of what they can accept as "living". In other words, we are forced to live at a fast pace in order to survive. Living, something that can be very simple, has become something the protagonist can no longer afford to be lazy about.

There are still 29 chapters left, and I'm ready to start reading. Given the administrator's consistent update schedule, it should take about ten more days. 🤫

The protagonist said he wanted to be a wolf, but he ended up living like a dog, even though he could have been a human.

I am just one of the many people who were bombarded by the Silver Alliance. However, as an author, my perspective on reading books is somewhat different from that of readers. Originally, I was just going to take a look and leave, but after reading the comments and the author's individual chapters, I felt that I had to write something.

I saw this book last night, read two chapters and found it very interesting, so I finished it in one go. And today there's only one chapter updated!!! It's so frustrating! It's rare to see such a high-quality novel; it's very captivating. I hope you can maintain this level of quality! Finally, does anyone have any good book recommendations? I'm experiencing a reading slump.

I was initially drawn in by Gu Xiaonian's decisive and ruthless character, and the martial arts world-building and writing style were also quite good. However, I couldn't continue after reading nearly 200 chapters, mainly due to the following flaws: 1. The protagonist's romantic subplot. I suspect this book is written by a female author.

So, the protagonist's wife was played with by someone else while seemingly resisting, and the protagonist was even outside keeping watch for them, even though the other person was also a woman. Does that count as being cuckolded?

I thought the beginning was alright; I'm used to skipping around while watching. The only thing that bothered me was that after spending ten years underground, with such a deep-seated hatred, he ended up releasing the woman's adoptive father just because the woman he loved was affiliated with the imperial court. Then, that adoptive father begged him to help the court, sacrificing the people's welfare for the greater good, and he actually agreed! It absolutely disgusted me. 🤢

"Artsy culture" is the tendency to treat sadomasochistic characters as art.
