A chaotic story in a chaotic world
First of all, congratulations on the book's release. Secondly, I'll stop reading here. I've been following this author since *Two Realms Seal*, and I've finished *The Melon-Eating Swordsman* and *Five Thunders*. This book was one of the first things I read when it was released.
The first chapter was just so-so; even when the prince went out for a meal, he brought more than just these people with him.
With only a few guards, maids, servants, and perhaps a few retainers, it's clear something's wrong. Even the princess only has one maid. Wealthy families don't travel with just these people. The emperor clearly doesn't intend for them to return alive.
It turns out I'm not the only one who thinks the author has changed.
Why not follow the path of the gossip-loving swordsman and take a trip to Jin Yong's works? Although many people have written about Jin Yong, his writing skills are still considerable. If you follow the path of the previous book and the quality is similar, the results should be quite good.
A prince with real power over an army of 50,000 shouldn't be in this position, right? This is the most frustrating part for me. Anyone can look down on the protagonist. I can't even remember how many times the protagonist has been looked down upon, and this is supposed to be a lighthearted story!
It seems the author hasn't quite grasped what made the swordsman so appealing.
This book, while also a wuxia (martial arts) story, is quite different from my previous works. Firstly, while *The Swordsman* is wuxia, it's also an infinite flow story, meaning if you can't finish one, you can move on to another. Let me talk about what attracted me to *The Swordsman*.
This has happened three times already, and each time it stops at the beginning.
Is the martial arts world or the imperial court more powerful? The crown prince went out for a while and came back to find no one he knew. How can he smoothly ascend the throne? He always emphasizes how powerful he is with 50,000 troops, but when people come to kill him, do you see the intimidating power of 50,000 troops? Shouldn't you rewrite this beginning?
These last few chapters have really annoyed me. A grandmaster from another race leads an army to invade China, and he casually kills our grandmasters and innate masters. We even follow the rules of the martial arts world and don't let more than two grandmasters gang up on him. It's ridiculous!
Instead of using elixirs to increase their own power, they're using them to upgrade useless, trashy martial arts techniques just to suppress the protagonist. It's utterly disgusting and getting more and more boring.
The first chapter is truly discouraging, isn't it?
Let's say the emperor didn't believe the real emperor, so he sent a fake one without poisoning or controlling him. And he even gave him a female scholar who had run away from home to marry? Let's not even discuss whether that female scholar was actually searched; why would the emperor believe someone who had run away from home to be married off?
