The Way of the Fist: Dragons and Serpents Rise

What a terrible book! It started charging after being published? An author as unethical as you, this book is best left unread, just thrown off the shelf and never to be seen again. 🤫

In modern times, practicing martial arts is even more convenient. In this era of globalization, Chinese martial arts can easily exchange and learn from other fighting styles in Asia, as well as tribal fighting styles in Europe, America, and even Africa. By learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses and innovating, saying that the times don't allow it is just an excuse. It shows a lack of real strength (no one thinks that dirty tricks are unique to China, right?).

Traditional martial arts rely on numerical values ​​when fighting bare-handed. Anyone who claims that a move is powerful is a complete novice. There's only so much to learn about hand skills. Regardless of the style, every martial art has its so-called "killing moves," but they're all just for show. The real killer move is a sneak attack. In actual combat between equals, no move is useful.

The writing style is acceptable, but reading the whole thing was a bit tiring; it's all about killing or being on the run. I know this is ridiculous, but if you keep writing like this, without a major plot twist, you could write 10,000 chapters and still not reach the end. There's absolutely no need to kill them one by one, because you can't kill them all. You might as well just go to Japan and kill their heads on the spot; the effect would be far better than killing them one by one.

In reality, many so-called martial arts masters from the Republic of China era were frauds. For example, a quick look at Sun Lutang reveals it was all marketing hype and empty boasting, much like the modern-day Ma Baoguo. Those so-called "Top Ten Masters" were just mutual self-promotion.

The author wanted to write about traditional Chinese martial arts, but also about the struggles of a technologically backward dynasty facing industrialized nations. However, martial arts couldn't surpass firearms. To make the protagonist feel good in the first world, he quickly reached the pinnacle of internal strength, then the whole thing became a mess of transmigrating through three worlds…

Sigh, the bloodthirstiness is too much. It's purely about killing for the sake of killing. They killed the Japanese, and that's it. The Hung Kuen's show of force wasn't even aimed at the main character; it just so happened that the female lead was cut by a piece of wood and lost a few drops of blood, yet she was blasted to pieces. It's too brutal, inhumane. And too bloody, constantly beating people to pieces, splattering blood everywhere. Be careful, you might get banned!

Having traveled through several worlds and returned, why haven't you swept through them yet? Then you run into some old madman who gives you a serious look. Can you even write? If not, just end it already.

Reduce anti-Japanese war marketing and avoid exploiting readers' patriotism.

I've been reading for almost 20 years, and this is the first book I've ever read about a lone hero storming into the palace to kill an old witch. I have to give it a thumbs up!
