A young man plagued by recurring nightmares finds himself visiting a blind fortune teller, who sends him to a world of martial arts that looks a lot like the wuxia stories he used to read.

In the sky of this world, a tome shines every now and then, revealing the hierarchy of mighty beings that seek power amid troubled times. Determined to unravel the mysteries of his involuntary journey and the secrets of the world he has ended up in, he endeavors to ascend the tome’s rankings, all while looking for a path back home.

Official Chinese blurb

Wandering the jianghu with a blade and wine, where beauties’ grace is filling one’s mind.

A youth, saber on his back and wine gourd at the waist, strides forth, yet the jianghu of his heart seems only more elusive;

With each flipped page of the Tome of Troubled Times, decades of nights soaked in rain pass over the jianghu.

As he suddenly turns to look back, he finds that the mortal world has shattered in his wake.

Review after 80 chapters. This is a great novel so far, in spite of the first five odd chapters. While there is transmigration, and mention of game elements, none of them actually play role at this time. The mystical events of the first few chapters don't play much of a role after that.

Instead it's a good wuxia, with a likeable MC and realistic side characters. The plot is a bit similar to Jade Dynasty, where circumstances lead to difficult choices and bad reputation, despite a clear heart. This story also... more>> reminds me of Legend of Great Tang’s Twin Dragons - at least in setting, plot, and scope

Also we have two potential love interests after only 80 chapters... Hopefully this isn't a trend, and the author keeps it realistic.

The translation has been great so far, with my only complaint being some weird phrasing, which is on purpose to highlight the difference between a "modern person" and the people of the world that he finds himself in. All things considered, this is a great read. <<less

This is nearly purely a romance. MC gets stronger and learns techniques and fights battles. But there is always one woman or an other that is the main focus. It’s done pretty well actually. I wasn’t into the 14 year old love interest tho.

A different style. This is an interesting wuxia-xianxia merge style novel where the main focus is wuxia (martial arts) with historical xianxia elements.

The story is about an MC who finds himself transmigrated into a wuxia world and told that to return home, he has to shatter time and space via strength. He then begins his journey around the world, travelling on horse for thousands of miles with nothing but a gourd of wine and a sword to accompany him. Makes friends as he travels and does as he pleases. A... more>> very enjoyable representation of wuxia.

The unique aspect of this novel compared other wuxia is that there is a "Tome of Troubled Times" in the sky that acts as a server wide announcement constantly updating the list of the strongest people in the realm. As MC travels around and learns about the world, he uncovers the truth of the tomb, the previous era, Demons and Immortals, and his transmigration.

Romance as present and a recurring theme and it takes a wuxia flavour with heroines and princesses.

Beautiful writing. Wuxia has its own themes like a focus on loyalty, brotherhood, hot blooded fights, and how there isn't a huge gap between realms. <<less
