I’m Really Not a Proper Young Hero Across the Heavens

In the first chapter, the protagonist is a hopeless case, all he cares about is the Dugu Nine Swords. He claims he's unwilling to put in the hard work for other Huashan martial arts, acting as if he could easily learn them just by encountering the Dugu Nine Swords, and even become invincible without relying on internal energy. He's truly inferior to Linghu Chong, lacking both talent and effort.

I can't take it anymore! He's a useless protagonist. He's lazy in his training, all talk and no action. He wants to roam the martial arts world but doesn't want to endure the hardship of training. He started learning martial arts earlier than Linghu Chong, but he hasn't practiced as much as Linghu Chong. He's always making excuses. He can't even hold a sword steadily.

The protagonist's character is vividly and clearly portrayed in the first three chapters, making him instantly recognizable: lazy, unambitious, prone to complaining, and a daydreamer. He knows the world is dangerous but refuses to work hard, choosing instead to slack off. Well, one can only say the author knows how to discourage readers; a protagonist with this kind of personality is best avoided.

He didn't even get past the first chapter... Lazy, unambitious, arrogant, impulsive, and easily angered, he's always saying "I'm a young master." He didn't have any cheat codes at the beginning, and in the world of *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*, he complains that not practicing internal energy is too low-level, and not practicing swordsmanship is too poor.

A girl, utterly dejected, leaned against the mottled wall. Her once gentle, sparkling eyes were now like a stagnant pool, seemingly unable to stir even a ripple. She gazed at the sky with despair and sorrow, her thin, crimson lips parting slightly: "Update soon."

I think it's well-written. The plot is funny when it needs to be funny, and serious when it needs to be serious. The sudden romantic subplots are acceptable, although a bit forced. The protagonist doesn't try too hard to be cool, and his actions and words are true to his name. Regarding combat power, everyone has their own opinion, and there's no need to strive for uniformity.

I think we shouldn't bother with the first two worlds of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer"; they're already overused. Unless you can come up with something truly original.

I couldn't stand it anymore. It wasn't because the writing was bad—I don't know if it's good or bad—but looking at the table of contents, it was all incredibly poorly written worlds. For example, one or two martial arts worlds from Gu Long or Jin Yong's works would have been enough to establish the protagonist. Was it really necessary to write so many?

The author doesn't intend to write a female lead, but in every world there are female characters who like the protagonist. To say there's no female lead is an overstatement; every world has women with ambiguous relationships with the protagonist. To say there is a female lead is simply that they are pursuing the protagonist but haven't reciprocated.

Honestly, he won the girl's heart, gave her so much screen time, and then didn't accept it back. It would have been better if he hadn't given her any screen time in the first place. He's half-baked, worse than a real jerk! It was so unsatisfying to watch…
