This Is Your Jianghu

Chapter 283 is exceptionally mindless. The male protagonist is portrayed as a loser, incompetent and irresponsible. His status and abilities are worlds apart from those of the first and second female protagonists. He keeps talking about improving himself, but in reality, he just goes around selling swords and never takes any real action.

Let me just say two things! 1. This is a historical novel with a martial arts theme, set in an alternate historical period, featuring a lighthearted slice-of-life story. As for the specific genre, I don't know; those who know, know. Asking further will only lead to suicide. 2. The author is a good author, but whether the book is serious or not is another matter.

The female protagonist treats a patient and gives him a sword worth a thousand taels of silver. He claims it's just his duty as a healer and demands ten taels of silver. Later, when he hears from Qingmei that he received a hundred taels of gold for treating a girl in town, his eyes practically light up. Note that it's a hundred taels of gold, equivalent to a thousand taels of silver.

Because the woman had a conflict with the county magistrate's son, and then a conflict with the prefectural magistrate's son, I've only gotten to chapter 120-something... Will the rest of the story involve a conflict between Li Suying and the young master of a major martial arts sect, or a conflict between the eldest princess and the sons of prime ministers or dukes?

Actually, the character Li Xinyi feels a bit redundant. The author probably has no interest in orthopedics, yet he still added this character, and she has quite a lot of screen time. I guess in the end, this younger sister will still be given away to someone else. Did the author create this character simply to satisfy the protagonist's lack of family affection?

Plot discussion thread Having read 78 chapters, I currently find neither of the two female characters, the female knight-errant and the young lady, to be likable. The female knight-errant had some experience in society, yet she always spoke coldly to her savior. On the surface, she appeared arrogant, but in reality, she was selfish, conceited, and unable to discern the situation.

Actually, this book is written for virgins in their early teens. After all, more than 100 chapters are about how to get two women to willingly take off their clothes and prick them with needles. Please understand, we've all been through that age. Now that the crackdown on prostitution is so strict, it's just skirting the edge of legality.

Many people criticize the author, so I specifically read nearly 50 chapters. Well, the subject matter is good, and the ideas are excellent, but the writing style needs improvement. The author lacks social experience, or perhaps is rather naive; there's a noticeable tendency to fawn over the opposite sex. Overall, however, it's not bad; you can read it without overthinking.

A slender waist plays with the bright moon, long sleeves dance in the spring breeze.

1. Actually, I started following this book not long after it started, but I gave up when I had subscribed to about 200 chapters. Then in May, I found that it was available for free reading, so I picked it up again. 2. As I picked it up and reread it, I remembered the reason I abandoned it in the first place: the protagonist was really unlikable.
