Description
In the era of popular esports, a globally popular game called “Destiny” was born. This is a close-quarters holographic reality game with a focus on cold weapons such as swords, spears, guns, bows, and other melee weapons. The charm of close combat, the interplay of flashing blades and shadows, the brutal battle where only one survives out of a hundred, captivate players and make the major world esports tournaments thrive. Chen Xingran, a weapon master from an ancient martial arts family, wakes up from slumber and finds himself in a strange world, becoming an ordinary student at the Capital Esports Academy, endlessly worrying about how to reach Silver rank. As he looks at the familiar Tang Sword, broadsword, silver spear, dagger, long whip, and more in the game… Chen Xingran falls into contemplation. “I’m familiar with this.” Thus, in “Destiny,” a formidable specialist in weapons emerges. His swordsmanship is sharp and elusive, his heavy sword has no edge, his gun moves like a dragon, and his dagger is as agile as a serpent… No matter how challenging the weapon is, it becomes a magnificent and dangerous performance in his hands. “A Tang Sword is not used like this.” “Protecting teammates? Not necessary.” “Isn’t it enough to eliminate all the enemies?” … In the world of “Destiny,” a legend begins to spread about a fearsome demon king. It is said that every professional player who faces him in combat meets a tragic end… However, the good news is that this demon king seems incapable of using ranged weapons? His archery skills are astonishing. Even with a rapid-firing crossbow, he can’t hit a single shot, earning him the title of the “Master of Human Outline Drawing.” Yang Yunche, the former champion of the FPS World Championship and hailed as the number one marksman, says this while watching the young man who effortlessly takes on three opponents with a Tang Sword. “Why need ranged weapons when I’m here?” The blushing young man, finished with the fight and sharpening his sword, chases after him and slashes three blocks. PS: 1. This is a fictional holographic close-quarters battle royale game with many imaginative elements. You don’t need to have played the game to enjoy the story. 2. Game skills and settings are inspired by games like “Eternal Punishment,” “Apex Legends,” “Overwatch,” and others. 3. The weapon master is invincible in close combat but terrible at using guns, while the archer never misses a shot. They pretend to be weak and rely on their spouse, the cunning world champion, to save them. 4. This story doesn’t follow the typical trope of the protagonist being overwhelmingly strong. There may be initial setbacks, but later on, the characters reach their full potential and dominate the game, creating various highlights. Please avoid making assumptions about the author and enjoy the story and comments harmoniously. Thank you.

Sharpening The Knife Doesn’t Delay The Cutting of Vegetables With The Bow [eSports] Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on Sharpening The Knife Doesn’t Delay The Cutting of Vegetables With The Bow [eSports]
This web novel boasts a title as long as the list of tags it carries, but does it live up to the hype? As someone who enjoys a good eSports story, I dove in eager to find out.
First Impressions
The premise is definitely intriguing: a martial artist suddenly finds himself in a futuristic eSports world, needing to make money and fulfill the original body's dream. I was immediately drawn to the unique blend of martial arts and gaming. The idea of a calm, confident protagonist who's a battle maniac in-game but reserved in real life also piqued my interest.
What Works Well
The focus on weapons and martial arts, rather than just the game itself, is a refreshing change. I can get burned out on repetitive game strategies, so this novel's approach is a welcome deviation. The main character’s growth, while arguably rapid, is engaging. He has to adapt his real-world martial arts skills to the game, which creates a compelling dynamic. The male lead, with his "gap moe" personality and chip addiction, is also quite endearing and relatable. The side characters seem well-developed with their own goals and quirks which is always a plus in my book.
Areas of Concern
The "OP" nature of the main character is a common point of contention. While some readers are fine with it, others find it diminishes the suspense. It seems that the story can become predictable as the MC quickly masters the game. Additionally, some feel that the relationship between the MC and ML is forced and lacks genuine development, with shallow comments from side characters not backing up the supposed "pink atmosphere". Also, the game mechanics and fight scenes can be hard to visualize, and some of the author's writing choices are criticized.

Final Verdict
"Sharpening The Knife…" has a lot going for it: a unique premise, interesting characters, and a blend of action and eSports. However, the pacing and the MC's rapid rise to power might detract from the overall experience for some readers. If you enjoy OP protagonists and don't mind a fast-paced plot, this could be a fun read. Otherwise, proceed with caution. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
