To combat the collective villainy of the Evil Coalition, the New Righteous Association, symbol of the orthodox jianghu, has formed a secret corps known as the Twelve Phantoms.

Yet even among these twelve martial masters, one man stands unrivaled—Agent Crimson Tiger.

“While we kill our own children for the sake of world domination… he fights the world for the sake of his child. Isn’t it ironic?”

Amid the fierce succession war between the First Young Lord and the Third Young Lady of the Association, one man’s fight to protect his precious daughter begins!

“I swear, if you lay a finger on my daughter… something unimaginable will befall you.”

Of all Jang Young Hun's works, this one is turning out to be my favorite. Its originality stands out among Korean martial arts novels because there's no reincarnation, transmigration, or regression, and it doesn't follow the MC as he grows up.

In fact, the structure feels more like a Western novel in that the MC starts out already pretty competent, and then sh*t hits the fan. There are mysteries to solve, dangers to overcome and enemies to defeat. Politics and conspiracies abound alongside romance and toxic relationships. All of this centers... more>> around a single father with the selfish goal of earning big bucks to cure his daughter's illness and then quitting his job as the murim's top secret agent.

The writing and characters are a lot more mature than most webnovels, characteristic of author Jang Young Hun (he's pretty old, I think?). If I had any complaint, it's that every single woman seems to fall for the MC... but since it's not harem and the mc's relationship with most of them is platonic (friends with benefits), I can accept that some stuff like that is needed to enhance a work's popularity. <<less

Review by the translator.

Have you ever started reading a book expecting a fun, straightforward action story, only to discover that it has a lot more heart? Absolute Warrior is that kind of book.

It has all the fast-paced spy action of a Mission: Impossible or James Bond movie, but set in the jianghu, a world of ancient Chinese martial arts. Expect epic duels, chaotic free-for-alls, quiet assassinations, and thrilling escapes.

The main character, Crimson Tiger Kwon Kangho, is a relatable yet outstanding hero. He's a martial arts master and the top secret... more>> agent of the murim, but his motivation is incredibly simple and human. He's a young single dad trying to earn enough money to cure his daughter's terminal illness and retire to the countryside.

To earn that money, he takes a job as a hired sword. Unfortunately, his perfect mission record quickly gets him noticed, pulling him out of his quiet life and straight into a world of complex politics and ruthless power struggles. He's a good, charismatic guy trying his best to survive and protect the people he cares about in a world that isn't all black and white, ruled by greedy, power-hungry megalomaniacs.

While there's plenty of great action and a bit of romance, this isn't an epic about saving the world. It's a much more personal story about a man, his family, his friends, and the relationships both healthy and toxic that makes him who he is. The author's writing is mature, and the characters feel real and layered.

Absolute Warrior is a book where the action hooks you in, but the characters are the reason you stay. <<less
