My Thoughts on Reincarnated Swordmaster

"Reincarnated Swordmaster" had me intrigued from the start with its blend of wuxia, reincarnation, and a hint of something darker lurking beneath the surface. With a premise like that, I dove in ready for a wild ride.

First Impressions

The initial chapters painted a picture of a world steeped in martial arts tradition, following a protagonist who, despite his past life experiences, doesn't quite have it all figured out. He's given a second chance, but quickly learns that a past life doesn't automatically equate to a perfect one. I immediately found myself wondering if he'd ever truly learn from his mistakes.

What Works Well

One of the aspects I appreciated most was the fast-paced plot. The story moves quickly, avoiding lengthy training montages and unnecessary exposition. The author seems to understand that sometimes, less is more, and I found this approach refreshing. The world-building, while initially presented as classic wuxia, gradually unfolds into something far more complex, incorporating elements of Cthulhu mythos and Chinese mythology. This unexpected blend kept me hooked, constantly wondering what secrets the world held. The MC is flawed, and that's one of the best aspects of the novel. He is not overpowered, and he makes mistakes.

Areas of Concern

⚠️ Spoiler Warning: The next section contains spoilers. ⚠️

My biggest concern stems from the protagonist himself. While some appreciate his flaws and see them as a source of realism, others find him frustratingly dense. He has the tendency to make the same mistakes repeatedly, and doesn't learn from his mistakes. Some have pointed out that he even gives his biggest secret, the resurrection book, to a stranger.

Final Verdict

"Reincarnated Swordmaster" is a mixed bag, but ultimately a worthwhile read for those who enjoy wuxia with a dark twist and don't mind a flawed protagonist. I will say that I recommend the novel, but proceed with caution.
