March 2023. I’m fed up with Qidian and have barely been reading lately. So many books near the top of the monthly ticket rankings are disappointing!

Swordman - Thoughts about Chonglou
Chonglou, whose common name is unknown, is the 170th-generation disciple of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect in the Great World of Blue Sky. He studied under Hanbing Taoist, one of the Seven Heroes of Xuanyuan. He cultivated to the Second Slash level and is respected as the Demon Sword Lord by the world. He has protected the Xuanyuan Sword Sect for nearly 20,000 years and continues the past and future. Some good people call him the Fourteenth Ancestor of Xuanyuan Sword. Chonglou's life can be roughly divided into three periods: the golden age when he was young and carefree and practiced freely; the darkest years when Li Wuwu left and guarded Xuanyuan alone; and the happy years at the end of his life when he saw Xuanyuan's successor. Calling him the Fourteenth Ancestor is worthy of his name. He has these labels on him: 1. Ancestor Regulus XIV with unparalleled talent, extraordinary combat power, extraordinary opportunities, and a free and easy spirit Chonglou has excellent cultivation talent and outstanding combat power. Li Wuwu once said that without him, Chonglou would be the most promising person in Xuanyuan for thousands of years to become an immortal. Li Wuwu's cultivation speed is considered fast, and Chonglou followed closely every step of the way. He switched to practicing ancient methods in the middle, which was faster than Wu Xixing's Upper Realm Half-Immortal. Jin Danshi and his Taoist companion Chong Ying fought hard against the strong infants of the White Bone Sect and managed to remain undefeated. After becoming the true king, he became a policeman in the Zuozhou galaxy alone, forcing the Taoist sect to plan hard and dispatch 17 true kings to bury him. How can we talk about the hardships of holding Xuanyuan alone for ten thousand years? Li Ji participated in almost every stage of Chonglou's life and taught by words and deeds. When he was building the foundation, he followed Li Wuwu on his mission to Canglang Sect, and saw Li Wuwu kill the Yuanying sea monster with one sword, and realized that he had no regrets about the sword; during the period of Jindan, Li Wuwu was sitting in the Thunder Palace, assisting the left and right, and saw Li Wuwu's fame forcing Qiang Ying to death; during the time of Yuanying, he followed Li Wuwu on his mission to the Supreme Way. Dezong, Li Wuwu taught him the method of collecting inspiration; when he was the true king, he was rescued by Li Wuwu who returned to his hometown to visit his relatives in the outer world, and instructed him to go to the foreign lands to kill insects and practice swordsmanship; because of Li Wuwu, he knew the ancient methods, and his nature was straightforward and free and easy. He jumped out of the barriers and killed the evil corpse because of Li Wuwu's death. (The original article mentioned at the beginning that Zhonglou chose the ancient method of combining three lights instead of beheading corpses) 2. After many hardships and hardships, he finally became Xuanyuan's hero I don't want to say that Zhonglou is a hero, as his handsome image of the wind god and his free and uninhibited temperament do not match, but his life is exactly like the script of a tragic hero. Even from the time he was called Chonglou by the author, many things were already determined. There is another person who has obtained this kind of script, and that is Han Jiang. The fate is destined by his name. The former senior brother Xuanyuan Han can only be Han Jiang Guying, an old friend in the world. The regret of master Han Bing and Taoist companion Chong Ying not far away, the grief of the most admired senior brother Li Wuwu when he was beaten to immortality, the helplessness and loneliness of seeing Xiao Ye, San Qin, Wu Xixing and Hu Xuedao fall one after another to protect Xuanyuan, leaving them alone, have already been written in the outline. Sanqin told Chonglou that Xuanyuan does not belong to one person, and Li Wuwu could not carry Xuanyuan by himself, which made him feel relieved. But for Chonglou, since his senior brother left, he would not be able to bear this responsibility. Who could bear the huge Xuanyuan? Xuanyuan has become Chonglou's obsession! With Chonglou's keenness, how could he not know! Ascended to immortality? That's something that even Senior Brother Li doesn't want to do. Go to the sky and become a stone that can be used alone, and then ignore Xuanyuan like Emperor Xuanyuan? Chonglou can't do it, so it's okay not to stop this obsession! To endure tens of thousands of years of loneliness silently, to be useful, to do the things for now, and to build the foundation for the future, this is the way to build a strong building. Sword cultivator, is he strong because of loneliness, or is he lonely because of strength? After many hardships and hardships, Chonglou finally became a lonely and powerful hero. 3. A swordsman who has no complaints or regrets, who has never changed his original intention, who killed the immortal roc with one sword, and paved the way for future generations What kind of person can live for 20,000 years? What kind of person has neither past nor future? What kind of person who sacrifices now can reverse the attack on his ancestors and break the barrier between immortals and mortals? My answer is: three beheaded corpses! I thought, I guessed, that the state after Chonglou was similar to that of General Xizhao. His true body had died, but the corpse of his obsession remained. Maybe there was something else. In short, his obsession was immortal and protected Xuanyuan. When Li Wuwu died, Chonglou cried bitterly in the Kendo Monument. Perhaps Li Wuwu said to him the famous saying: "What's wrong with your expression! What's wrong with your tears! Can those tears protect Xuanyuan?" He chose to shoulder this heavy responsibility, paid a heavy price, and still had no regrets. Abandoning immortality and giving up one's life, does the world know all this? Or it doesn't matter for heavy buildings. Do you still remember Du Hai's answer to Bu Lian? "You really... Have good intentions. Does he know that you do this?" "He doesn't need to know, and I'm not doing it for him... I just want to protect the best seeds for Xuanyuan..." This is the inheritance that belongs to Xuanyuan, and the original intention of Xuanyuan, no matter you are a golden elixir or a half-immortal! Perhaps I see the shadow of senior brother Li Crow in Lou Xiaoyi, or maybe he is the same as Li Chungang. How can I, Chonglou, live to the day that I can no longer hold a sword? Chonglou's last sword is destined to be used without regrets! This kind of sword intent was exactly what he learned from Li Wuwu when he first met him when he was building the foundation! The moment he drew his sword, I wonder if Zhonglou would think of the desire of youth, the excitement of getting started, the bitterness of cultivation, the joy of getting along with brothers and sisters, the dangers of rushing through the realm, and the high spirits after attaining enlightenment? Do you think of Feilai Peak, which symbolizes Xuanyuan? Do you think of the wind in Mount Wei that you have been accustomed to since you started practicing? It's just that Feilai Peak has fallen, but Xuanyuan is still there; the cold wind of Xiaoshan Mountain is still howling in the snowfield, but the old man has not returned.

The undercurrent of the secular world and the struggle for the throne rushed to the aid of the second uncle, and acted spiritually to resolve the crisis. There are 11 chapters in total. You can see that the author describes it from the perspective of an ordinary person! Think about your life. Apart from eating, drinking and having sex, how many major things have you done? Thankfully this is the protagonist, otherwise it would be even more boring! It's not that the author is incapable of writing at a fast pace, it's that this person, at this time, should most likely do this! Some chapters can be summarized in just a few strokes, while some chapters can describe a lot! Because life is ordinary! Only when things happen can there be stories to tell! Imagine again that you travel to this planet where there is little inspiration and there are two old mothers at home. How should you enter the path of cultivation? A treasure falling from the sky? Grandpa Ring? An inheritance from an expert? Family cultivation? The system is close to you? If you write it like this, you will lose your naturalness! The author's consistent style has been lost! You must first get to know a stranger, have a blind date, and then gain recognition before you can form a team to explore the secret together! I was buried and found spiritual insects, which frightened my mother so she was willing to use the technique! You think that exploring the secrets is a routine, and you will definitely lead to cultivation... In fact, it is the opposite of a routine, and it is impossible to inherit the skills! The environment determines it! You think that discovering spirit insects is an anti-routine, but you just don't want to fall into the cliché... But it is actually a development by chance! How can you find spiritual insects if you don't go out? Where will you go if you go out deliberately? You think that your mother is of no use, just a burden on the protagonist's path to cultivation... But she has the protagonist's most important introductory skills... Aren't these processes the same as the silly son of a landlord who wants to become an immortal, but after many inquiries but cannot find the way, and finally fails in the right way? The rest can be inferred based on the general outline! The whole context is very clear! Everything has a cause and is well documented! If secular life is eliminated, the protagonist has no roots, where does the belief in his heart come from? How to explain all behaviors? It would be abrupt without any reason! If you really like reading this kind of book, it only means that this book is not suitable for you! Give up now! Then there is too much writing in mind! Take choosing exercises as an example! How would you choose the exercises? There is a high probability that you will also think about it according to modern thinking, and then set up a systematic framework for yourself according to your preferences, right? It's just that the author wrote down the process of our own imagination in detail! This seems cumbersome! There are good and bad! Fortunately, he has a sense of participation in it! The bad thing is that it's too long! Then why not write about the protagonist pooping and farting every day? Are you even better at word count? Just because you need fireworks doesn't mean it has to be all trivial! We want both the sunny spring and the snow, but also the humble people! Now the entire Internet is filled with impetuousness. Can't read it? Very normal! Authors have different styles and readers have different preferences! But don't ignore the shining points just to belittle! You can't just advocate! Go and find out the truth! Be objective! So I compiled the plot of the first hundred chapters! I want to use this objective fact to explain whether it is water or not? Even if it is water, where is it? This is the natural process of an ordinary person wanting to get involved in cultivating immortals, finally getting started, and then becoming a casual cultivator and slowly accumulating. It's the same as the TV series on CCTV 8 that my old mother loves to watch! The pace is slow, but it's really cool! He has such style! Every character in the book makes the protagonist more real! Because the setting is to forget the past life! If there is no past life, we must make up for this life! After filling in the flesh and blood, we can explain why the protagonist did what he did! Only then can we have a harmonious Taoist heart! Is this style good or bad? Come to think of it, the author who can write a book with sophisticated human feelings and sophistication will definitely have it in his heart! There are now 400 chapters, and still nothing big has happened. Because the protagonist's cultivation level makes him inaccessible to big things! According to the author's style, at least you have to go up to the Golden Core level to see the main quest! The author just likes to bind his feet! Just wait! ps. It's okay to complain, but don't teach the author to write a book! Then everyone will end up with no books to read!
Another long journey in the world has come to an end. It started from the beginning of the Swordsman to the end of the Swordsman, with a few years of rest in between. I didn't dare to read the book. I felt that the world written by the old man was a little bit more real. When I was young, I used to read stories, plots, and pictures. Now that I am in my thirties and forties, I see more of the world and wisdom. After a lot of experience, I discovered that there is no pure Jianghu road, only pure Jianghu people. The old man created a school of brainless writing that stood out from the many brainless articles. While it brought me surprise, it also made me unable to return to the pure joy of brainless writing in the past. Tell me whether you are right or wrong. Whether it is Crow or Xiao Yi, their lives are extremely magnificent, and each has its own helplessness. Just like our lives, in some aspects, we enjoy the scenery but also have the sadness behind it. I don't understand how other people live. I like to open the starting point silently when I am alone, looking at the swordsmen and tasting the swordsmen. Even in a noisy bar, I tried watching it for 4 hours and still didn't get enough of it. Watching the unread chapters go from 2,000, to 1,000, to 500, to now, a white beard came from the south. Hahahaha, there are endless stories to read and endless life to taste. After reading this volume, I have to take a long break again, because each of the old man's stories is worth recalling for a long time. As the saying goes, we have a long way to go, but we will meet again if we are destined. 🙏
I have read more than 200 chapters. If you are impatient, I suggest you not to read it. It is really boring, the plot is slow and there is too much nonsense.
No one would believe him if his sword came out and he was bleeding, and he would swallow the sugar-coated haws of water.
After reading Chapter 200, I felt like it was plagiarized from "The Road of the Swordsman". Many settings are similar, including the plot. The author's plagiarism is too obvious.
Combine this fighting scene and post it, and give it a thumbs up if you agree! !
It was indeed very detailed and beautiful in the early stages, but after Chapter 600, the plot after falling into a space crack became too boring and boring, so I gave up on it.
Normal discussions and objective evaluations are welcome to encourage the author to write more wonderfully. Reject trolls who make personal attacks or malicious smears. At least a long book review shows that you have read the book seriously, and trolls who have no substantive plot discussion will have their posts deleted, and in serious cases, they will be banned. If you have any different opinions from those who read the book seriously, I hope you can calm down and try to be gentle and not overly aggressive. Thank you for this! 🙏🌹 PS: Book lovers are welcome to support the genuine version. ❤️
