    Wink

    Thinking about it ,it makes sense that XSL has no biological off spring.This is because of the 'time travel paradox'. You have have a time loop that has no beginning or ending , very confusing.

    I would not say that, but in short more wuxia than imperial court.

    It is incredibly long but I would put it at equal parts: political intrigue, war strategy, revenge drama, romance/brotherhood, spy thriller.

    - lesser comedic parts
    - larger on wuxia and fighting

    Less to none of the fantasy flying around or inner energy.

    XSL was master of sword and sabre and successively beat out most of the book's sword "gods" using Mozi swordplay and his own take on samurai techniques. Towards the end, he exuded fighting "aura" that scared away opponents who dared approach him.

    He "invented" weapons/tools using 21st century knowledge such as sabres, flying needles, skiing equipment, grappling/wall scaling, lightweight armor based on bulletproof vests.
