I read up to chapter 580, so I got a good idea of the series as a whole.I really like this story, and nowadays it's the only one in the Wuxia (Chinese) style that I follow, because it doesn't follow the common mistakes and clichés that this genre has.The characters are charismatic and human (they are not perfect) which makes the reading more interesting and unusual for this genre. Even more so as the characters mature over time, especially Wu Jian (Main Character/MC) who at the beginning is a weakling and a coward (but it's natural, he's very young and the younger brother, whoever has a younger brother knows that being beaten is normal, with due proportions), but it matures quickly and logically because things don't just happen out of nowhere, they have a reason to happen.The MC is not that cliché of a virgin character who doesn't know how to deal with women, here he learn how to deal with women and wants to have a more intimate relationship, like any normal man. His behavior adds more realism to the story and avoids the shonem and wuxia cliché (most of them look like a eunuch lol).And the women in the history are the highlight... they are all charismatic and mature over time too, each having their strengths and weaknesses, and they are useful for the story. They are not that trophy woman cliché (with no value apart from beauty/status), which only serve to be beautiful and generate conflicts for the MC because of it.I consider myself a veteran reader (although I still have a lot to read, my Kindle list says so), I've read from Wuxia novels, to Japanese and Korean novels, to more traditional books like A Song of Fire and Ice. In this novel, I consider the writing good and it's easy to read. I don't have trouble keeping pace and even though English is not my mother tongue, I rarely ever find myself having to Google words I don't know (with the exception of distance measurements in Chinese, but now I've memorized it lol). Of course the story isn't perfect, but even A Song of Fire and Ice has its flaws, nothing is perfect, but I have no doubts in saying that Severing Time and Space is one of my favorite stories right now.
