- Great cast of characters. In ALOT of these wuxia, xianxia, asian martial artist cultivator thingies. The MC is the only one that stands out and the supporting characters don't do much. Well, not here. Here at Ze Tian Ji, or Way of Choices, our characters have lives of their own, dreams, hopes and nightmares. MC isn't the only one that wants something. Some would call this a weakness in these kinds of stories. I call it good writing.
- World building. Wow. Just wow. The sense of age and wealth of this world is incredible. The way the writer and translators say things leaves me breathless at times. I feel that there are moments in the story, there is more in the background and if I just wait long enough someday I'll see more details. I want more details. That's just how cool the world building is. Who needs a universe to explore when the world is still incredibly new and different.
- The MC is not OP at the start. He grows and grinds his way to his prime spot. He wishes and cries along the way. You will too. This is not a weak ass character though. Don't get that wrong. He spends his blood and life carefully, and doesn't waste a single drop of that precious thing called life. He grits with the best of the best and smiles with the most innocents. His character isn't a bloody rag. The blood you see on his hands came from the enemies that stood before him and he had to smash his way past them. Many of them are not innocents.
- The writing style is not garish, not weak, or timid. The writer, editors and the translators did a superb job with transmitting the pageantry and poetry of the story as I read. Sometimes I'd re-read a paragraph just because it was very beautiful and deeply meaningful.
- There is romance, humor, friendship and action. What more can you want beyond that?
In the end if you want something more, something to show you what can be a GREAT novel style. Give this a read, the translator and editor teams at Gravitytales did do a GREAT job on this story. Excelsior!!s(pedo girl Mo Yu), unnecessary spoilers (e.g. "At the time they didn't know that in 20 years they... more>>It's too bad many of the of the reviewers here are impatient. I generally don't care about writing style, as I always only care about a solid plot. However, I truly admire the writer and (his/her writing).
HOWEVER Minus points for :
-.2 for pacing - move the plot author!
-.2 every detail is narrated as if the readers are dumb or as if they should care
-.2 for constantly giving the MC a load of sh*t one after another.
-.2 Author rambles in later chapters on and on about his characters philosophy
Good side - I also usually hate romance in my novels but this is one is actually believable.
Additionally, you watch the MC slowly begin to change as a result of the people he comes into contact with.
- Likable characters. Every character has an opinion and a lifestyle - you can picture them in their daily lives even when they're off-screen. Instead of simply talking, the writer describes their emotions as they talk vividly, making every conversation a delight to read. When two characters face each other, you get excited when you think how they will interact.
- World building. The world has factions, has different races, has politics between factions and races. Even those uninterested in those will get involved. The world makes sense and you can draw it in your mind while you're reading it.
- Mysticism. Dragons exist. People may be born with the power of divine beasts. Your fate can be read from the stars, but is it possible to change your fate? what would be required? Swords owned by the strongest swordsmen may still have a lingering will. Lots of mysteries, lots of the good stuff.
- Cultivation and Techniques. It's a marvelous part of the story. A sword can command the will of another hundred swords. Some sword slashes can darken the skies or fall over the enemies like a heavy rain. The beautiful imagination of the techniques colliding is present in a lot of fights. Some swords techniques and their origins are explained, adding even more to the fight.
- MC. This protagonist may be my favorite one ever in a novel. He's hard working, thinks before talking, has an extreme obsession with cleanliness and he. does. never. give. up! People gather around him and you can see how he can change people's hearts with his words, his knowledge and his actions. Even his enemies share the speechlessness from his actions!
Bad points:- The early translation is not very good. The novel became much better when hypersheep took over but it's easy to get bored in the start. I have to admit it took three tries to really get into the story.
- The agony when you are up to the latest chapter and don't have any more material to read and have to reread certain arcs so that you can remember the story and have a good feeling while you get through the day...
There's even a drama, a manga and an animaton of this series. So come enjoy the speechlessness!
