In terms of storyline, themes, and how martial arts are portrayed by Jin Yong, the three components of THE CONDOR HEROES TRILOGY work well with one another, but do not work well with DGSD or SPW.
DGSD and SPW work very well with each other, but not with the CONDOR HEROES TRILOGY.
What if Jin Yong decided to split DGSD and SPW into their own shared universe and timeline (with no CONDOR HEROES TRILOGY in between), while the CONDOR HEROES TRILOGY occupied a separate universe and timeline without DGSD and SPW bookending it? Would such a separation make all five stories better or worse?
