If you're looking for a story where the only romance is between a man and his sword... wait... something doesn't sound quite right with that statement... ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Xingjian has given up all of his “good” emotions for revenge, which makes it sound like he will be very 1 dimensional, but he is definitely more complex than that. It has plenty of well written and translated fight scenes, courtroom dramas and delicious sounding food. I think that the cultivation system is much easier to understand then some other stories and the plots that he is encountering when he is powering up are interesting and lots of fun.Anyway, this is one of my favourite translations due to the quality of the translation and the story in general ? it is one of the few that I have to get my fix of everyday!
