Snow-filled Bow Saber
So, the chapter is saying that he's a natural psychopath. Why does she want him to have power, again? And why did he become a scholar rather than a fighter if he's so eager to start murdering people? 'Life or death are preordained': I'm feeling he's saying this really smugly somehow, but if his death is preordained then why does he bother trying to get more power to avoid his death? I'm serious, does this make sense to anyone else? Am I missing something fundamental?
Interesting. I'll say, that I'm not particularly interested nor care for the story. It's frankly boring. The redeeming quality about this story is the author's writing quality. It's well done. Not great by any stretch of the means, but well enough to get their message across in an meaningful way. The author did not need to overly shift points of view, or use some generic trope or cliché but used a simple but underused writing strategy(dialogue) to explain cultivation and what is. Most chinese authors would simply shift points of view during a narrative to explain things which immediately interrupt the flow of a story. It's jarring and abrupt when they do this when exposition is necessary. It's like watching a tv show or anime and in the midst of high intense battle the narration interrupts to explains things. Dragon ball z for example is guilty of this bad writing habit, they tweaked this problem but it's still bad. Personal note, the mc being secretly an innate killer is troublesome, I'm not sure if it's the macguffin in the story or lazy excuse the author slipped in to explain why the technique suits him so well. Time will tell. So far the novel projects good writing habits, with a conscientious author, and just for that, it's worth a continued read.
