for those familiar with the three above - I think 'blood and steel' is probably one of if not thee best series I've seen so far that could blend a wuxia Manhua into a shounen Manga fanbase 2h5556

the whole concept of wuxia novels - particular in the realms of "jiangwu/gongwu" illustrate an essentially religious code of ethics and honor in loyalty amid the dynamic of an often deceptive and antagonistic world

what I think the artist&author of "Blood and Steel" does exceptionally well is blend the contradictions and hardships of wuxia philosophical archetypes to create what amounts to a revenge story that is more than just a simple revenge story, maily by providing background context of each characters development (an omnipotent perspective for the reader)

whereas (in my opinion) good shounen manga differ from their counterparts with intricate focus on plot, I think "blood and steel" differs from the average Manhua with it's focus on its huge cast of characters and background - oh and amazing art

your thoughts;?

I love this manga too, I'm waiting impatiently for every chapter, one of the best martial art comic I've read to date.
I've been reading lots pf mangas/manhwas, but had not much experience with manhua, so it's my first time reading a wuxia story.
I've read another matial art manhua, but it suffered from too much author narration, I coudn't the title, it also looked very old.
can you recommend another wuxia manhua?
what do you think of Storm Riders?
