This is a short novel (one volume, about 230 pages) by Huang Ying (not Huang Yi), a Hong Kong wuxia writer from Beijing, born in 1956. He once ghostwrote for Gu Long. Unfortunately, he died in 1991 at age 35 due to a cerebral hemorrhage. One rumor is that it was because he was short of cash for filming (he later opened his one film production company) and took out a loan and couldn't pay it back, and was subsequently beaten death. He was active during the 70s and 80s.
Seventeen Swords is a short novel, only eight chapters in one volume, so it should be completed relatively quick. But this translation will not affect my Magic Sword translation, which has priority, so this translation will still be a bit slow. Below is a picture of the cover of the novel:
