Idk, my impressions of Japanese swordsmanship is to have a really sharp blade and spending lots of effort and time to practice swinging the sword/s to repeatedly to get stronger and faster to surpass oneself in body, mind and will while turning everything into body memory.

Chinese swordsmanship seems heavily rely on their flashy/complex techniques in movement to confuse people in the early days and later go less flashy and more focused on the essential parts like swinging form/stance, attack power, speed and flexibility as they become more experienced.

However, most of the time.. systematic training can do better than being flashy and get k.o.'d in one quick, fierce and accurate hit.

The hell is God doing?
What's with the continued support for that Saiga but no sh*t given to Sansui?

@Zargabath
Honestly hard to say.
The community surrounding chinese wn's can be just as uselessly toxic as the one surrounding isekai.
You could go on a reading spree on Wuxiaworld, for example.
Otherwise, Coiling Dragon and Desolate Era are fairly uncontroversial.

@Carnage
...ok ...perhaps I should give them a try, any recomendation?

@Zargabath
Spoiler

Basically, this boring swordsman is a weaksauce version of a chinese wn vs typical japanese wn.

@Carnage
I need to know, which side is the japanese and which one is the chinese?, I don't read that many chinese mangas/comics or whatever are they called

There it is folks, the "I worked hard!" trope turned on it's head. Rest In Peace Riajuu.

The guy who trained for 5 centuries: A whole month?. . . lol that's cute

And now we shall witness the trueness of the phrase : "It's the man not the machine".

BUahahahaha! A month?!

I love how this is basically an in a nutshell comparison between japanese and chinese web novels.

@zeffiez I feel like part of this is projecting. And overcomplicating things, since all that needed there is humility and grace.
Also, literally no training is additive regardless of the field. Ever.
And he was doing mostly muscle training and discipline of body and spirit according to what was shown.

girl with sword is hot

@kwendy

Whether he sees people as inferior to him or not is neither my point nor relevant. It is fact that these people are very far below him in terms of combat power and strength of mind and heart. The words and actions of such people would be at most mildly uncomfortable like a small itch you feel but don't need to scratch. Hence the feather tapping on the face analogy. The other characters words and actions are like a feather tapping on the MC's face.

Also, certainly if we spend 40x more time training to run than someone else we wont breach the sound barrier. But what if we spend 40x more time training physical enhancement magic in order to run. Thats basically how these things work. Cuz a regular runner cant use magic and the physical body has limits but magic has no limits. Also its fiction. How does 500 years of training with someone that is considered by god the best person to make him the strongest not enough time to have him master more than 4 skills. Thats basically 125 years per skill.

@people who wants MC to stand up for himself

He is with these people for 2 reasons: His daughter and to learn about society. A noble, a high ranking one at that, is definitely more than enough to satisfy these 2 conditions. He puts up with their arrogance and hostile nature (hostility from mostly the father and brother) because he is just that much of a higher level being than they are. They are like dust particles making him cough every and then.

I'm grateful for the translations but give us the complete annihilation of Saiga quickly please. he's getting too annoying. i can deal with a larger spread update rate but that character is just annoying. good job author though.

@Azulor
as always with granting wish, sometimes there's a negative aspect one didn't realize when making the wish
he only said he wants to be the strongest in the world and everyone to be in awe of him, granted he had to train but he's the strongest now in the "human" world and he's super popular, his wish came true
it just so happen he lost his urges when his wish came true lmao

I don't like how her lost all his urges because of the saint. Wasn't his wish to become super popular from being the strongest in the world???

Hopefully he'll at least impregnate some girl before axe-kun strikes

So he's bragging how he spent a month to be recognized as worthy by yet another woman? And that it would somehow make him be able to defeat the MC?

If that'll be a running gag, in a few years, he'll have to show up with dozens of women.
