i'm amazed how wuxia stories all manage to be the most previsible, boring power fantasy story format EVERY FUCKING TIME.
it has it all.
it's set in a society of castes and the MC is a bastard of the strongest man of the pyramid.
Inbred sect full of bad and ugly people that will die and get mutilated trying to beat the übermench MC.
the token homo.
the token genderbent woman, shielded by plot.
the token, over enthusiastic weak ass companion.
the school arc with it's usual absurd challenges and infighting, because killing, mutilating and expelling it's own students is 100% what a military force needs to develop to become dominant.
power through chemistry. seems chinese really like the idea of eating exceptionally stinky pills.
Did i mention that the mc is the one out of 500 years best martial artist thanks to a technology powered mac guffin given to him in the first goddamn chapter, that has access to an insane amount of data, can 3d scan structures out of the lad's retinas and see through walls, detect lying, yet somehow you need to read old ass books to make the mc wuxiapool?
the fact that you know, chapter 1, that he wont die till his goals are met?
f*ing everything.
turn off your brain and get your dose of mildly well drawn slop. you're not going to get challenged with this.
Man i did a mistake turning off the wuxia filter.
