Yunjian's Reading List No. 7
I have a dream: to make a book list for every category. This is my sixth category list, not counting the main one. Jianghu Underdog is a good wuxia novel. Its author has written several other good wuxia books, though they aren’t categorized as wuxia.

The protagonist is so stupid, brainless, and a bit of a saint. He's easily sold out, yet he thinks he's clever.
Reading Chapter 21, "The Poor Man," really annoyed me. Child traffickers should be killed, and it's one thing for the protagonist to lack ability, but even with force, he was stopped by that old steward. The old man kept saying there were too many poor people in the world to care for. As modern people, do we not understand the plight of fish stranded on a beach? If we care about one fish, do we care about the other? We should save as many as we can.
Only after writing a book yourself do you realize how painful the process is.
To be honest, the author's writing is very good. It's just that the main character's personality and the main plot are vague and unlikable, and the whole story seems confusing. The protagonist's personality is indistinct; his thoughts and actions are unclear, and he seems to drift aimlessly through the martial arts world, going through the motions without purpose.
I've read dozens of chapters, and the quality is alright! It's just that modern society has different requirements. I feel you're missing the core elements for success, especially the protagonist's character development. If the protagonist is just being stupid, it's fine as a feel-good story, but writing a character who's a saintly, sycophantic, and stupid will only appeal to a niche audience.
You want to see more once you leave the temple, but once you leave, you lose all desire to see more. It's like selling dog meat under the guise of mutton.
Is the protagonist in a time-traveling story intelligent?
The protagonist is a lackey of a Jin dynasty official.
What's the protagonist's situation? And what's with his cheat ability? These two chapters seem a bit problematic. He's been poisoned, humiliated, and can't even handle his own problems, yet he keeps getting into trouble everywhere. His martial arts skills have improved way too quickly; he doesn't even have time to develop them properly.
In that case, the protagonist will definitely have a place in the first Mount Hua Sword Tournament.
