    Default Jin Yong, Gu Long, or Other?

    Are you a bigger wuxia fan of Jin Yong stories or Gu Long stories?

    Gu Long.
    Jin Yong.
    Both of them.
    None of them - only watch adaptations.
    I like a different wuxia author more.

    Gu Long is better. Even 8th tier fighters could blow up an island with their bare hands, fly across the ocean, and shrink opponents into puppet size.

    Don't forget HE WHO HAS ACHIEVED E=MC^2 Yan Nantian. Nowhere else has it ever been mentioned that a master has been able merge and become one with his internal energy.

    Are you sure your "GL" is discussing the late wuxia author Gu Long and not GREEN LANTERN...a superhero/sci-fi comic published by DC Comics?

    And yet, I doubt he would be a match for Geshu Tian, who is said to be able to flip MC^2 to its side.

    I haven't read much of the Jin Yong novels.
    But I read a lot of Gu Long novels, and I find that they suit me better. I like the storylines more and the characters more.
    Because I'm somewhere in between,
    My love and my agony.

    Gu Long. I generally find his characters more interesting than Jin Yong's.

    Jin Yong for me. But then I have never read any stuff from Gu Long or the other authors so I'd have to go for Jin Yong.

    i prefer gulong, over jinyong, his wulin is much more mysterious, and vast. furthermore, their is no definite , easily-definable ranking in his wulin. i also love huang yi. this is not to belittle jinyong who brought me into the wuxia fold, i still love his stories.

    JY any day.
    Only read GL when I'm really bored and too lazy to touch my C-E dictionary. GL books are too depressing for recreational reading, including his best like Emo Swordsmen or Meteor Butterfly Sword.
