Alternate synopsis: "I admired the full moon atop Forbidden City and drank wine at Dongting.
Wanderer of Jianghu who does not know my fame, a flying sword can behead with ease."

Oh, I butchered the poem, man I suck!

Anyway, this is the kind of novel that is really popular in China, but whose popularity here depends upon the translator.

The novel is rooted in Chinese myths and legends, and unfortunately most of the novels here with that have a subpar translation. The MC is really intelligent from what I've heard.

The novel is certainly a great work, but if the translator doesn't spruce up, we'll get a butchered version. That would be a disservice to the author of this fine work. Something mediocre with a good translation would be better than this fine novel getting a bad TL.

By the way, the setting for this novel is around the same as Seeking the Flying Sword Path. If the two translators could collaborate then it would be really great.

I would recommend this novel to Post Malone, Tekashi Sixnine, Lil Pump and the Gucci Gang. I would love to one day see a gangsta wuxia novel with Blacks.

I really like this novel and it's my favorite novel now. I had enough of all the stupid mcs who think with their **** and does stupid young masters so i was looking for a like time for a novel like this l. But the translation is a little bad partly because he doesn't has an editor to help and the problem is nobody likes these types of novels they like does annoying harem novels withs lots of faceslaps. What basically happens in those novels is tge mc goes to a place the annoying young master looks down on him then he starts to fight the antagonist says the name of his technique the bystanders keep says the mc is going to lose he is week he can't win and then bam!!!. O and it still isn't finished the young masters whole family goes after hin annoy him till he destroys the family. And the keeps on repeating itself. I used to like it years ago when i first started read Chinese novel but now it's very annoying and keeps on getting on my nerves.
What i hate in Chinese cultivation novels:

1: fighting enemies with cultivation a lot more the you.
2: be very young but still stronger and smarter than people millions of years older then you.
3: heals limbs and his whole body easily even when he becomes a lot stronger.
4: Cultivate with a unique technique and become so strong the cultivation levels don't matter (one of my favorite things in novels is when he enters new  cultivation realms so my favorite movels Re the ones whose cultivation is the same as everybody alse.
5: Harems
And forget many othe important ones.

Giving up 75 chapters in. Either the story was written quite poorly or the translation's butchering the story.

Its quite quite difficult to follow whats happening for several reasons including missing or slightly malformed sentences which make it quite difficult to understand what is happening and make you think you may have missed a paragraph, An overreliance on Chinese poems religon and mythology which could work if any of it were explained - as it stands it just seems like a way of extending the text.

Overall it had potential but I don't think it'll ever really be worth reading.
