Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Chu Yang, the Ninth Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword, sacrificed almost everything he had for the sake of improving his martial arts, including the love of his life. After spending three years locating the fifth fragment of the Nine Tribulations Sword, he was ambushed by all sides at that very place. Mortally injured with no means of escape, Chu Yang executed a sacrificial technique by plunging the Nine Tribulations Sword into his very own heart. “With the blood of my heart, ten thousand tribulations will collapse!”
After witnessing the death of all his ambushers, Chu Yang’s vision began to darken. At a distance, moments before his death, he saw the mastermind who had plotted his downfall — Mo Tian Ji. With that, his eyes finally closed.
However, with a start, Chu Yang once again awoke to find that he had returned to when he was sixteen years of age! Furthermore, the Sword Spirit of the Nine Tribulations Sword now resided within his Dantian, the energy center of his body! From that very moment, Chu Yang would then begin to right all of his past regrets, and carve his very own legend by fulfilling his destiny as the final Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword, and defeating the Heavenly Devils beyond the realm of the Nine Heavens Continent.

TTNH is an amazing story. There's no question about it. A lot of that is due in part to the author, Fenglin Tianxia. I consider him to be on par with Tang Jia San Shao, the author of the awesome Douluo Dalu series, HJC etc. Both writers have such incredible depth to their stories and to their characters.
Now on the novel. It took me a while to finish the nearly 2700 chapters. Not to say that the novel is too long though. The story is extremely well planned out, with the transitions between places and settings being clearly thought out and very well written. Plot lines are clear, character motivations are clear, and the story has a sinuous, smooth and enjoyable flow to it.
The part that I enjoy the most about the book, and about Feng Lin's writing style, is without a doubt the emotional depth of his characters. Emotions is a major part of what constitutes a great novel, and Feng Lin uses this to great advantage. The emotions of the MC and his companions are constantly shown and highlighted throughout the novel. The brotherhood love that bonds them together, the willingness to die for each other, the sorrows they go through together; so on and so forth. That really helped to keep me grounded in the novel. This is a long way from the atypical slaughtering, raping, bloodthirsty MCs that I've so oft seen in a large number of XianXias. So this was a major refresher for me, an actual HUMAN-like MC, with actual emotions not limited to lust, anger and the need for revenge and vengeance.
The villains are not generic, one-dimensional creatures with a hard-on for making life absolute sh*t for the MC, but are people with actual motivations and emotions to justify their actions. Honestly? This was one of the first times where I've actually seen intelligent Villains in a XianXia, and this was one of the exceedingly even fewer times that I feel sorry for villains. That speaks volumes about how goddamn good Fenglin makes his stories. I have teared up more times reading this book than attempting try not to cry challenges.
The comedy in the novel is also off the charts. I've laughed out loud more than once reading about the jokes made and the antics played by the characters in the novel. The fight scenes and war scenes are amazingly well written. The fast paced fights, the conflict of both men and minds during the wars all contribute greatly to the action part of the novel. Its not simply the MC curb-stomping hundreds of thousands of people at one time, but there are actual tactics and soldiers involved as well.
Though it is a harem type novel, the MC does show his love/appreciation at all of his gals and doesn't just keep them around as s*x toys. I really like the fact that the MC's harem does have a measure of power and are actually strong enough to help him either in battles or with strategies. (Also in bed XD)
Granted, there's gonna be some people who won't really enjoy some of the typical troupes of XianXia. For example, the occasional massive power growths, actual strength exceeding cultivation, plot-armorish luck etc. But, I thought that Feng Lin actually spaced these troupes out very fairly, and the plot doesn't always depend on them to proceed.
If there's one thing I don't particularly like about FLTX's novels, its probably gonna be the ending. It could be just me, but I feel like he has a tendency to rush through to the ending after tying up all lose ends in the plot. It leaves me a little bereft and lacking after reading such rich content and ending along the lines off "They had kids, then brought the whole family and transcended into another dimension".
TL:DR/Conclusion
So all-in-all, TTNH was one of the greatest XianXias I've finished thus far. Its rich in plot, romance, action, politics, comedy and its one helluva emotional roller-coaster ride as well. It was an amazing read, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a read. Though some parts may not translate too well, I think the translators have done an amazing job so far.
Would seriously recommend this novel if you are looking for something interesting and funny. Although, the MC have been scolding his subordinates for the past 30 chapters, each chapters of lectures is still funny and does not bores the reader. It is by far the funniest novel I have read after the legendary moonlight sculptors and world of cultivation.
-
- Side characters. They have their own personalities, and while I wouldn't go as far as saying they are 3 dimensional, 2.5D is better then most novels in this genre.
- Side romance. The side characters have romantic interests, so not all females are in love with the MC, the sworn brothers get a piece of the action, and in my opinion the better pieces, cause the MC's romantic life is a terrible mess.
- Enemies. The novel is not without arrogant young masters, but there are also some very interesting enemies who are motivated by things other than "I want your woman" or "I must be given face"
- Underneath all the bad stuff there is a good story being told, you just need to get through all the padding to get to it, it is an endurance game,
and I'm not sure yet if I will endure.
The Bad:- The romance was also badly done for the most part.... And it all goes back again to the unnecessary drama the author wants to place in the romance... Without all the sh*t drama it would be so much better.
Anyway, objectively i'd rate this novel 3 but it used to be one of my favorites so I'm giving it a 4 for making giving me some happy times. As for... more>>- Mostly solid plotting. Even though most of the MC's benefits are 'dropped from the sky'. there's still enough effort behind his actions to make it forgivable... mostly. There is a clear, ongoing story here (for the most part) and the progress and development is worth sticking with so far.
- Fair character development. Not much to say here- they're mostly likable stereotypes with one or two attributes. A few of them manage to be exceptional- to the point that the author actually ignores/suppresses them for large parts of the story.
The BAD:- Forced Plotting- Events or exceptions to events will magically pop up for the MC if the author wants to do a thing.
Spoiler
[collapse]
- Plot armor- MC has it. All his allies have it. Bad things don't happen unless they help the plot & the character can help it.
Spoiler
[collapse]
- Forced melodrama- certain 'romantic' complications are 'who does that unless they're a monster', plot convenient complications. They're dumb, and 'screw you' author for pushing that on us.
Spoiler
[collapse]
- Sexism- Somehow women are potentially equal in power- but still sexually controlled/repressed & never fight unless for comedic effect.
- Racism? Apparently there are no minorities in the world, nor do different clans look noticeably different from any other. They're all undifferentiable Chinese (I guess). Even so, The MC genocides bloodlines without a thought- so maybe 'clan-ism'?
Spoiler
[collapse]
- Ridiculous resource management- It always seems like the MC has entirely too much treasure (because he does) - but the author will insist it's not enough! It apparently takes a ton of the best quality herbs to make 1 pill or something.
Spoiler
[collapse]
- Magic harem- Yes, most girls love the MC, just cause.
- Borderline pe*ophilia- Luckily the activities never really cross the line- but the author is happy to communicate the sentiment despite the option to maintain some level of practical distance/professional clarity & just wait for her to grow up before salivating.
- s*upid slapstick- Yeah, this is a personal thing, where all the beatings between the brothers got tiresome real fast.
- Rampant Hypocrisy- The sentiments of the MC from a personal perspective, and based on personal experience, or empathy for his allies... means nothing compared to doing great injustice for personal gain. This is exemplified whenever the MC o his allies rob innocents (usually a paragraph in passing), or kill people for dubious/downright s*upid reasons.

The Different:So many examples- but the most blatant is when the 90, 000 year lock on traveling between the various layers becomes an inconvenience- then suddenly he can solo travel for a few months... (he can't bring anyone- but he can ride a horse through? Ok.)
No one dies until one of the brothers has the bloodline of the Phoenix- so he dies first- then repeatedly (since it's ok). Second death is the plot motivator to go do a thing, so 'that's ok- she'll be able to escaped death more after (as if she didn't suffer enough)...
The worst is the woman who has magic to look like a man who is mad at the MC for not loving her, and yada yada (ridiculous events) ends up pregnant with his child, and keeps it a secret because 'she doesn't want to burden him, etc. etc. the whole thing is ret*rded.
This mostly covers the various 'clan infiltrations' where no one knows who's who because there apparently are no family-distinguishing featurees EVEN THOUGH people are part dragon, phoenix, devil or whatever...
Not even gonna get into how EASY it is to him to gather all this fluff!
The worst is when the MC's brother gets married, and the MC uses it as an excuse to extort treasures out of all the clans there- threatening to purge any clan that doesn't come, or doesn't bring a gift- and breaking the legs of those who bring inferior gifts! Yep, that's right- and he's already loaded up on sh*t at this point as well!
- Nothing. It's just a better put together classic wuxia story. I guess if I have to stretch it, the whole 'everyone knows you're powering up (due to distinct stellar signs) ' then that qualifies- though it doesn't really change anything since people always were against him unless they can be his ally from the start.
Overall, it's a good read, with some classic wuxia nonsense still there, and a few extra 'to make the story go faster' things thrown in. Now and then a section will disappoint, but once you're past whatever 's*upid' the author did for a minute, you'll be fine. I don't know your taste, but in the end, it's probably worthwhile
