A Great Adventure in the Wuxia World

Finally, we've got some real wuxia (martial arts) literature! These past few years, all the wuxia stories on Qidian have turned into game novels, with levels marked on every page… In my opinion, the most exciting part of martial arts is that no one knows the other's strength before a fight; you can only judge based on your own eyesight, the other's reputation, and your experience in the martial…

Thoughts on watching Farewell My Concubine As the saying goes, "The most righteous are often butchers, while the most ungrateful are often scholars." The author's play vividly portrays the myriad aspects of human nature and the unpredictability of human hearts. I initially thought that Master Ma, as a henchman of the imperial court, would be a ruthless and heartless character.

It started off brilliantly, but got worse and worse as it went on. The opening is simply a masterpiece; I think it's comparable to "The Cuckoo Bird." From learning opera to martial arts, through the warmth and coldness of human relationships and the changing times, although the plot develops in sync with the film's rhythm, the characters are incredibly well-developed.

Finishing this volume leaves a lingering sense of melancholy. Cheng Dieyi and his companions struggle to survive in a chaotic world, while Su Qing also falters through reincarnation—all merely trying to stay alive. Their past experiences will eventually be swallowed up by the river of time, forgotten by all, except for Su Qing, who will forever remember them all.

To be honest, the author of this book is completely unsuitable for writing this kind of "ordinary person exchanging worlds" story. The first arc is indeed very well written; apart from the first chapter, you can't tell at all that the protagonist is a transmigrator. Even so, the storytelling is sufficient. The author's writing style is impeccable, no doubt about it.

Actors are often wretched, a pitiful sight of deep, old affections, now only an old man remains amidst a full house. The tales of the underworld never end, the play, devoid of substance, is beyond control. A new act begins, and it all starts anew, for it is truly the things of this world that cannot be kept.

Having nearly finished reading both storylines, I can say the writing is indeed superb, but it's limited to narration and environmental description. The characters lack depth. A person is shaped by their experiences; different people have different joys and sorrows, different principles of conduct, and different tastes in life.

(Continued from above) When Su Qing was learning opera in the Guan family troupe, he was mentally between twenty and thirty years old, an age of hard work and striving. His fame couldn't be attributed solely to his looks in that era; at the very least, his operatic skills had to be exceptional. This meant he was adept at understanding and portraying the characters' inner thoughts.

Please stop arguing. As a self-proclaimed bookworm, I understand better than anyone what "literary pedantry" and genuine talent are. I also understand those who say the author is "literary pedantic" and then recommend light novels; there are many details in the book that some people can't grasp. But I'll say it again: this book is excellent, excellent, excellent.

A few suggestions. The author's writing skills are absolutely top-notch in today's online novels; I haven't seen an author with such skill in a long time, and they're probably rare even in traditional literary circles. However, after reading over 100 chapters, I felt there was a slight drawback: the plot progressed too quickly.
