They are often describe as powerful, impressive and untouchable. However, most of the time their portrayal in Jin Yong novels or lack of concrete facts often made us think - are they really that good, that godly, or are they just simply overrated, or just a load of crap?
Which of these "overrated things" do you feel is the most overrated "thing" in Jin Yong novels?
- Shaolin Sect (failure to have one candidate in the Huashan Tournaments, martial arts exponents roaming around (Xiao Yuanshan, Murong Bo) without even them knowing)
- Dugu Qiubai (there's a really huge possibility that all his opponents are of low quality beings, plus no concrete evidence of his invincibility)
- Lin Chaoying (some say she's better than Wang Chongyang, or even better than the other 4 original greats during her time, really??)
- Zhang Sanfeng (Despite his godly status got injured by the imposter - slow reaction that does not befit his reputation as a martial arts great of his time)
- Dongfang Bubai (again all his/her opponents aren't really that good, what if we place this she-male in DGSD or any of the Condor Trilogy, would he/she be able to reign supreme?)
- Shen Zhaojing martial arts from A Deadly Secret (a wonderful internal cultivation martial arts depicted - able to revive people etc., but there's also a huge possibly that this martial arts could be sh** if we place it alongside YJJ, BMSG, 9Yin, 9Yang, etc.)
I'm sure there are more uber overrated things in JY novels, I might have left them out. In your opinion, which of them is the most overrated in JY novels?
