Novel Summary
We traveled to ancient Japan in 1789 AD, and it was the Edo period, which was a long time ago.
At the beginning, there is only a low-level samurai identity, a saber, and a system that can improve your personal level and sword skill level as long as you defeat or kill the enemy.
…
“What will I do when I encounter a strong enemy? I will pull out the second sword and replace it with the sword skill I really do-the second sword style.”
“What if I still can’t beat it?”
“Then I will take out my revolver and shoot the enemy hard in the head.”
Ogata Yishi-the “Great Swordsman” who has titles such as “Human Slash Yishi”, “Executioner Ichitosai” and so on, replied this way.

Ah shit, fck I feel sad for the other girl 😭😭
Holy fck this is dark and gory
Cap 128. El prota es un inutil total, tanto poder y habilidad se le subio a la cabeza... lo roban y no se da cuenta, cuando consigue al grupo de ladrones se muestra arrogante y se le escapa la mayoria de forma estupida, habla demasiada paja, se ve que todavia no aprende de la vida.
This novel ended? :') , that was a good read, very good read.
(before reading anything, please know that English is not my main language and I don't know a damn thing about Chinese other than their web novels and I believe it's full of propaganda, it's entertaining but still propaganda so I don't see them as anything other than entertainment, correct me if I'm wrong anywhere) I don't know how many Chinese authors you guys have been reading but all of you guys need to know a few things 2 major things that need focus first and the other smaller ones are for later. First, this is a Chinese author writing about life in Japan without shitting on japan in every chapter, and he even does quite a lot of research by the look of it. I won't say that I know a lot about China and their relationships with Japan but after reading 3 years of Chinese web novels(not only on this website), I can firmly say that more than 90% of Chinese web novels will shit on the West (mostly America) and Japan and/or say their country is the best in the world and no one can beat them, the world could not even come close to them, etc, etc. I won't say anything about that, it's their population the authors are writing this for, they can mentally masturbate as much as they want. BUT This one only does it in a very minuscule amount, I think the China government would make him disappear if he don't have any nationalism in his work (side note: personally I would not call this action racist because they are shitting on everyone but themself and in my mind, I think that a minority being aimed at is more fit for the word, I would probably call this extreme nationalism) Secondly, the hell are you guys going on about not killing a gang of bandits in 1 chapter? There is a whole genre of the thing you are looking for, I don't know the exact word that describes the genre but it's about the MC being a badass that never faces any kind of challenge, gets a harem, and all of the thing a normal human could not be able to get. "Versatile Mage" or "One-click Training System Instantly Millions" are the 2 I can find in the ranking all time of this website alone. Go and read them if you want to, don't go around saying the MC is weak or the author is taking too long describing a fight that's too low level. Next time go read the tags and genre of a webnovel first before even reading it, they are there for a reason. Third, translation, I am not familiar with the state of this website personally, but most of the time Chinese webnovel are converted(converted not translated, there are differences) by machine and not human, sometimes there is someone who takes time and effort into translating or make the end product of machines into better sounding and easier to understand sentences But read the summary and tell me you cannot make it better, read it and tell me you cannot make it easier to understand. As I said before English is not my main language and I can even make it better, for example "I will pull out the second sword and replace it with the sword skill I really do-the second sword style." would be much easier to understand as "I will pull out a second sword, and use the sword style I'm actually good at, the two-sword style" see what I mean? And this part is to danesleet's arguments/sentences about the story not being good alone, if you want you can read it, but it's not that important cause any person with a working brain can think and say the stuff below. (scroll down on the comments section to see their comment. I will list, numbered, and simplify them to be easier to talk about.) All of his arguments are:1) "it makes no sense...hides in bushes.",2) "you can see after...points in vitality.",3) "next the smoke bomb...knock out gas bombs.",4) "also the shit...abilities like really.", 5)"also i swear...imbalance in power." 6)"the fights and...trying to ram in" 7)"the mc is just...a waste.", 8)"as for power...slightly above fitness." 9)"also the parts...ogres makes sense." And to interperate/simplify them: 1) Why don't the MC just hide in some bushes when assassinating the lord to use his system? 2) Why does the Author want the MC to put all 12 points in vitality after the big fight? He could have used them to become stronger 3)/4) This is not historical, there is no such thing as knockout smoke or regenerative ability having orges(the hell bro? what kind of orges is this? they are clearly described to be zombies. Someone suddenly drops dead, and then the corpse rise again, and it's also from some kind of medicine the 2 doctors that were hiding on that island put into the river) 5)Cliche plots/fight, stupid righteous protags, and imbalance in power 6)the fights and plots are literally forced in a way to fit the cliche narrative that the author is trying to ram in. (5 is a sentence that's also a summary of what he'll talk about and 6 I have no idea how to summarize this so I'll just quote him on the whole thing") 7)Why don't the mc keep grinding until he becomes the strongest? Why does he let the system go to waste? 8)Power imbalance, why doesn't the MC win against everyone with his pure strength alone if he is 2-4 times stronger than a normal person? 9)Why the gun? no one can beat against a gun, certainly not samurai, why not set it in a period where there are no guns? I don't want to repeat what MTL novels already said but judging by his comments, danesleet don't have the brainpower to process long paragraph of letters, I will summarize their words, and add some of my points to address almost every single sentence in your comment. "Don't try to pick a fight, this webnovel is not perfect But most of the things you said here are stupid. You sound like someone who has never been in a fistfight, (argument 1) The kind of fight that no one suppose to go through The kind of fight that either 2 people fight until 1 is gravely injured or someone separates them You will not think straight in this kind of fight, let alone making logical decisions It stated very clearly there that he is fighting against 125 guards(chapter 94 people some are trained archers) Do you think you can win a hide and seek against 125 people? keep in mind that they will not count down nor look away from you Did you not read how the author describes the state of MC after fighting 125 people at once? (arguments 2) 1 of that 125 is not very normal human either(Nanahara), dude literally 1v6 in about 10 seconds (albeit 3 are killed using sword and 3 are killed using a small arrow but tell me you can win against 2 people in 10-second while) Do you think the MC would be unscathed against them all? The author describes the MC to be half-dead for god sake. The doctor after seeing the MC also said the MC are not supposed to be alive. That's the reason for 12 points all into vitality, to live. Read the damn genre tags, and if you don't know where to look, I'll help you quote them, Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Historical. (arguments 3/4) See the third genre? Fantasy, that means fiction, FICTION, where do you see the word nonfiction in this? Also if you are about to say it's also said historical, I beg you to click on the tag and find me a 100% accurate history novel? Cliche in what sense? Can you please list at least 5 famous works of fiction that also has the same plot as this one? and since you said self-righteous MC, I assume that you are talking about why the protagonist doesn't bust his ass grinding? did you even read this webnovel? He jumped at opportunities if they were present, sparing at the dojo, protecting a restaurant that is run by 2 females who are described to be above average in looks(I don't think I need to tell you why this is an opportunity to level up, do I?), and he killed every single ronin that came to kill him. Explain to me, how is that not just a person with a normal moral compass? I have nothing against the MC slaughtering innocent people, there are plenty of webnovels that have that, I'm just against edgy people like you saying MC is not bad enough. (argument 5) Argument 6, the stupidest in all of your stupid arguments, your Magnum Opus, fights, and plots are forced to be changed to fit the author's will, yes, that's called writing, the authors can change whatever they want in that fictional world, have you never heard of it? (argument 6) He did grind very much, he find a way to spar against people at every chance he got just as long as it does not inconvenience them and that is normal, read and find out about it (argument 7) Did you not see what the author said about the hierarchy system in japan during the Edo period? It's next to impossible to move up in that system, so politics are out of the window for everyone that does not born into a political family. Businessman? Do you think it is that simple to be able to just set up shops and sell? There are old men in their 60-70 1vmany grown and trained adult men in this webnovel, can you explain to me the meaning of "they pretty much have normal fitness or slightly above fitness" (argument 8) For argument 9, read back on arguments 3 and 4." Yes, I spend very long on this comment, I don't care if danesleet read this or not but if you,danesleet, do see this and want to argue against it, use logic, don't use any of the kind of logic in your old comment, also don't just personally attack me by swear word and slur since that's what I think you are trying to do, pick a fight. I won't waste my time replying if your answer fall under those 2 things.
FActs
Ummm no offense but you should have broken your comments down into 2 parts, that block of paragraph's too long! 😭 I can't read it!
Mtl novel doesn't have that feature, unfortunately
