Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 226 225. Comments on "The White Robe Steward"

Today I would like to recommend a martial arts work to you.

"The White-Robed Steward", author: Xiao Shu, a great writer.

Category: Martial Arts - Martial Arts Fantasy.

【Introduction】

Possessing Buddhist supernatural powers, he entered the Duke's Mansion as a servant. In the rivers and lakes, as well as in the government, there were love stories and heroic songs.

【Golden Ten Chapters】

Chapter One: Supernatural Powers. In the Duke Yi's mansion during the Great Ji Dynasty, the protagonist, Chu Li, travels by boat to the martial arts hall to read. He encounters a man and a woman, whom he taunts but treats equally. Having read dozens of martial arts books, and after thoroughly understanding them, he begins practicing. He can master swordsmanship, but not internal cultivation.

Chapter 2: Withering and Flourishing. The protagonist goes to the library to look for a book and stumbles upon a painting of withering and flourishing, a symbol of life. He begins practicing that very day, and unexpectedly succeeds. His life is about to take off. Meanwhile, the third young lady's flower is dying.

Chapter 3, Promotion. The protagonist cures a flower disease and is rewarded with a promotion, becoming a guard. He visits the herb garden and discovers that the herbs are very useful for his internal cultivation, so he agrees to the challenge of growing moonlight orchids.

Chapter 4: Challenge. The protagonist and his companions go to Qicaoxuan to buy moonlight orchids, but are once again taunted and snatched away by Zhuo Feiyang. Even more outrageous, Zhuo Feiyang demands that the protagonist serve as his bodyguard. Unable to tolerate such humiliation, the protagonist immediately issues a challenge to clear his name.

Chapter 5: Swordsmanship. The day of the challenge has arrived, and the protagonist and Zhuo Feiyang officially compete. The protagonist, lacking any internal energy, pierces the opponent's hand with his swordsmanship alone. The protagonist's usual pretense leads to a slap in the face.

Chapter 6, Su Ru. The protagonist defeats Zhuo Feiyang, who, having learned from his mistakes, advances to a higher level. The protagonist, unfazed, plants the moonlight orchid he planted and survives, breaking numerous records. The chief steward arrives in person to confirm the protagonist's identity.

Chapter 7, Xiao Qi. The Third Miss learns about the Moonlight Orchid and runs to the protagonist, wondering how he managed to grow it. After the protagonist demonstrates his flower-growing abilities, the Third Miss unexpectedly forbids him from visiting the herb garden.

Chapter 8: Means. The protagonist successfully grows the flowers requested by the Third Young Lady, and he is promoted again. While going out to celebrate, they are met with strong ridicule from another group of people.

Chapter 9: Competition. The conflict in the tavern remains a matter of words, with threats exchanged. When the protagonist returns to the East Garden, Gu again expresses his dissatisfaction and sets a date for a PK. The exact flower to be competed for is decided by the head steward, Su Ru.

Chapter 10: Picking Flowers. The nightshade blossoms bloom, and the Third Miss comes to watch them blossom, applying the essence to her face, claiming it helps maintain youthful appearance. The effect is so good that the Third Miss plans to cultivate a sacred area for spiritual herbs, and she wants to entrust the protagonist with the task. Therefore, he decides to simply surrender to the competition with Gu.

【Brief Comment】

This is a low-level martial arts work with a time-travel style.

The author won the title of Twelve Heavenly Kings in 2016 for this book and won the Great God Agreement the following year.

This book has performed very well and has won the runner-up place in the martial arts monthly ticket list many times.

The champion is naturally Feng July’s "The Strongest BOSS System".

I have said before that Feng Qiyue occupies half of the martial arts category.

The great writer Xiao Shu occupies half of the remaining half of the martial arts genre.

The strength is so terrifying~
However, after Santianliangjue entered the martial arts world with "The Peerless Twins", the top spot on various martial arts charts changed.

Everyone knows that after Jin Yong stopped writing, martial arts novels have gradually declined!

Not only is the number of readers of traditional martial arts novels decreasing, but authors are also changing their strategies and venturing into other categories.

Add some cheat codes or systems, and go for urban, fairy tale, fantasy, and suspense.

The reason why martial arts novels are not easy to make a living is that readers feel that the world of martial arts with low martial arts is not exciting enough, not grand and fantastic enough, and not stimulating enough.

No matter how high your kung fu skills are, can you knock the earth out and destroy the planet?

Some people would also say that martial arts is about a spirit.

The great chivalrous person serves the country and the people!

Were traditional martial arts films so popular in the past?
That's right!

But everyone knows that many martial arts works only have martial arts but no heroes.

Some of them don’t even have martial arts skills, only golden fingers.

Having said so much, I still want to encourage readers who like martial arts works to continue supporting martial arts.

This book is a very good martial arts work.

It is mainly reflected in the strong sense of immersion in the plot and the real characters.

The protagonist Chu Li is a time traveler who comes to a traditional martial arts world and becomes a guard in the Duke's Mansion.

In this book, there are guards and bodyguards. Guards are warriors who protect the house and the courtyard.

Guards are menial servants.

The protagonist cannot practice internal skills, so he is assigned to be a guard who grows flowers.

However, the protagonist has extraordinary abilities.

He lived in the temple for 17 years, learned advanced mental skills, and had a photographic memory and an extraordinary memory.

After entering the Duke's Mansion, you can learn martial arts secrets. Although you don't have internal strength, you can still practice the moves.

With this alone, he can defeat opponents who use internal skills.

In addition, he has the ability to communicate with plants and can grow various spiritual medicines and magical herbs. Through the Withering and Flourishing Technique, he gradually cultivated advanced internal skills.

He defeated his opponents one after another, attracted the attention of the heroine, cultivated medicinal fields, planted magical herbs, absorbed the essence of the magical herbs, opened up his meridians, and gradually became the master of the world.

He became close friends with three women, but eventually chose to return to his original world.

Although readers have criticized this book for having a poor ending, it at least has a beginning and an end.

During the trial reading, there was one thing that made me feel uncomfortable.

The fighting scenes in this book are not intense enough. When facing the enemy, the characters can often defeat them easily after a round of verbal attacks.

There is no exciting fighting scene and the moves are very monotonous.

It even gives people the feeling that it is not a martial arts story, but a supernatural story.

Moreover, a lot of effort was spent on planting and stirring up trouble in the early stages, portraying the protagonist as someone with special abilities who stirs up trouble, even forcing trouble and seeking fame for its own sake.

The intensified contradictions seem abrupt.

In any case, Master Xiao Shu focused on the understanding of martial arts and created many martial arts masterpieces. Perhaps he has his own unique understanding.

Anything produced by Xiao Shu must be a masterpiece.

The new book "Super Brain Eunuch" has an extremely bold title and content, and is colorful!

【to sum up】

Martial arts is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

First of all, I would like to thank the 2014 book friends for the reward of 1000 Qidian coins.

Secondly, it is extremely easy to discourage readers in the early stages of this book.

Many readers really dislike the various ways the protagonist commits suicide in the early stages, and they also don’t like the boring plot that keeps on planting flowers and grass.

Some even say that this is not martial arts at all, but fantasy and supernatural powers.

The plot is so weird that it's hard to guess what the author is trying to do.

It makes people feel that this great author is not very capable.

Even great players, even platinum ones, actually have this kind of situation.

41 platinums, 188 great writers, but every time they release a new book, less than half of them can actually become popular.

For many people, it is difficult to get over 1,000 orders in the first place.

That’s how online literature is, it never stays popular forever.

Just like Elbow's "The First Sequence", he made a bold statement at the beginning of the month about competing for the charts in May.

But near the end of the month, a surprising reversal occurred.

During the period of "My Lord, Avalokitesvara", did such a thing ever happen?
"Talented writers emerge in every generation of online literature, and each one leads the trend for three to five years!"
