Description
Meng Qingzhou traversed into a book and unexpectedly awakened the Blind Sword Saint System, becoming a blind sword saint. Fully aware of the book’s plot, Meng Qingzhou didn’t want to be a mere tool for the protagonist’s face-slapping moments. So, he decided to slack off and enjoy life, spending his days gardening, walking the dog, teasing the maidservant in his leisure time, and accompanying his virtuous wife. However, little did he know: He lived in a grand palace, the coquettish maidservant was a cold and beautiful sword fairy, the flowers he tended were millennium-old divine herbs, the dog he walked was a national guardian beast, and his virtuous wife was the current Empress! The Empress went to great lengths to have everyone act in front of Meng Qingzhou, portraying an ordinary family, just so she could have a place of peace during her spare time. But unexpectedly, not only did she hide her identity, Meng Qingzhou also concealed his sword saint prowess! Rebellious vassal kings: “Dongfang Liuli, you are infatuated with Meng Qingzhou’s charm, neglecting state affairs, you should be punished!” Meng Qingzhou: “Nonsense, being infatuated with my charm is my wife’s official business!” Enemy envoys: “Either cede land and pay reparations, or face the destruction of your country and family!” Meng Qingzhou: “I only have a small plot of land, and you still want to take it? Sword, come forth!” When the allied nations conspired to hinder the Empress’s path to unification, Meng Qingzhou rushed to the border alone, unsealing his eyes. At the moment he opened his eyes, the sword saint emerged spectacularly! Meng Qingzhou: “Is the small plot of land in front of my house really that attractive? Why do all the gods and demons come to fight over it?”

My Thoughts on Blind Sword Saint: Invincible Upon Opening His Eyes
First Impressions
Alright, so I dove into Blind Sword Saint: Invincible Upon Opening His Eyes with a mix of curiosity and caution. The title is definitely attention-grabbing, promising a powerful protagonist, and the tags hinted at a blend of action, comedy, and romance. I was hoping for a fun xianxia ride, and the early chapters seemed to deliver on that promise.
What Works Well
What immediately grabbed me was the well-executed use of familiar tropes. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it polishes it to a satisfying shine. The "low-key MC" archetype is done well here. He's powerful, yes, but he prefers to stay out of the limelight, which is a refreshing change from the usual arrogant protagonist constantly seeking conflict. The system element is also well-integrated, providing the MC with rewards for specific actions, allowing him to grow stronger without constantly throwing himself into dangerous situations. This made for a more relaxed and strategic read, which I appreciated. The writing itself is surprisingly polished, making it a pleasant experience overall.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the initial chapters, I did start to notice some potential issues brewing. The romance aspect felt a little… muddy. The story seems to be flirting with harem elements, introducing multiple female characters who develop feelings for the MC. This wouldn't be a problem if the novel had a harem tag, but it doesn't, and the MC's denseness regarding these affections can become frustrating. The misunderstandings and drama stemming from this dynamic felt a bit contrived and detracted from the overall enjoyment.

Final Verdict
Overall, Blind Sword Saint: Invincible Upon Opening His Eyes is a decent read with a lot of potential. If you enjoy cultivation novels with a low-key protagonist and don't mind some romantic complications, it's worth checking out. However, be aware that the romance aspect might not be as straightforward or wholesome as you might expect. I'm hoping the author clarifies the romantic direction of the story in later chapters. For now, I'd give it a cautious recommendation.
