In the West, novelists (and other writers) typically employ an editor not only to fact-check and grammar-check their writings, but also sometimes to *reality*-check them when what they've written is a bit too far out.

As we know, some of Jin Yong and Gu Long's ideas are a bit "far out." Did they or other wuxia novelists use editors at all when writing their stories? If they didn't, do you think they should have?
