The Legend of the Condor Heroes: Starting Out as a Bodyguard

This book suppresses the protagonist's combat power while giving the villain a power boost. This includes, but is not limited to, the protagonist obtaining the Nine Yang Manual at Shaolin Temple but only taking three volumes and deliberately omitting the last one, while the Fire-Worker Monk instead masters the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.

In the original story, Ouyang Feng, who couldn't swim, found the pond at the back entrance of the ancient tomb without any prior knowledge, and entered the tomb by diving and holding his breath, where he found the Nine Yin Manual.

Finding a good wuxia novel is not easy, and I've seen a lot of complaints. Combining the title of the work, "The Escort," I'm reminded of that comic. Dao Ma is essentially a bounty hunter, which is somewhat different from the escorts in wuxia novels. Take Jin Yong's wuxia novels for example, after all, they are written in the Jin Yong style.

Either don't write about obtaining the Nine Yang Manual, or you clearly have a chance to get them all, but you insist on showing off by not taking Volume 4, and then you keep spouting this bullshit "fate." Oh my, I'm speechless. If you want to show off, you get all the Nine Yang Manuals, and then... Well, I won't practice them, wouldn't that be even more of a show-off? 🤫

The protagonist comes with a built-in Jade Guanyin (equivalent to an enhanced version of the Jade Bed), Nine Yin and Nine Yang Manuals, Dragon Subduing Technique, Whirlwind Sweeping Leaf Kick, Finger Flicking Skill, the complete set of Quanzhen martial arts, Yin-Yang Reversal Blade Technique, Liang Ziweng's Great Treasure Snake, Shaolin Great Rejuvenating Pill, Bodhi Curved Snake, and Hundred…

If this book is out of 100, I would rate it as a passing grade of 60, at most 87 (the Hokkien equivalent of "idiot"), no higher than that! The protagonist is a clown who is neither good at literature nor martial arts and jumps around aimlessly. He has not killed a single strong person. He is always retreating after each battle.

I initially saw the story of someone learning the Nine Yin Manual upon arriving at the Ancient Tomb, but then I saw someone deliberately not learning it, so I clicked on the comments and found them all negative. I then went to read the post, and sure enough, it was all negative. I have nothing to say; all the criticisms crossed my line. I just hate seeing characters suppress their strength and elevate villains; it disgusted me.

I couldn't hold back my reading any longer; the author resorted to any means to pad the word count and drag out the pace. If you want to write something longer, writing about daily life would be readable, but the author used the simplest, most crude, and most mindless method: giving the villains all sorts of cheat codes.

Can I get a refund? I died from poisoning and abandoned the book.

I've tried learning every weapon imaginable—swords, spears, halberds, axes, cleavers, forks—but I can't master any of them. And now I'm thinking of using both? Has the author ever seen a spear used with one hand? And you think you're powerful just because you've used all eighteen weapons?
