If Gu Long doesn't die, will Jin Yong be the king of martial arts novels?

Why is there this problem? Even ancient heroes still roam the Jianghu, and the most influential among them in the Wulin is Zhong Bo. This feeling of doubt is that Jin Xia benefited from the crane driving of ancient heroes! In the new martial arts world, Jin Xia is the least, but almost all of them are classics, and the characters are also different. Guo Jing's simplicity, Yang Guo's cleverness, Ling Huchong's fearlessness, Wei Xiaobao's shopping malls and even supporting roles are all brilliant. For example, Feng Qingyang, Xie Xun, and even the Seven Chivalrous Men in Wudang and the Seven Monsters in Jiangnan are all lifelike and have their own characteristics, which make readers unforgettable.

In the description of love, there are also wonderful things, such as infatuation, despair, favor and resentment, and each role also has its own emphasis on emotion. It can be said that Jin's works can still be compared with the contemporary masters of popular novels if martial arts are left aside. As far as I can read, only Mr. Chen and Mr. Er Yuehe can write such a complicated character pattern, and Mr. Lu Yao's Ordinary World can also compete in contemporary popular literature creation!

Martial arts novels are still a branch of novels, and the pattern and structure are still the focus. In contrast, ancient heroes paid more attention to legends. In the description of characters, whether Chu Liuxiang, Lu Xiaofeng, Li Xunhuan or Xie Xiaofeng, they are still based on the image of the prodigal son in their bones, and their personality characteristics are not very distinct. The "ancient style" characters, although self-contained, are relatively fixed, and their literary attainments are indeed not as profound as those of Jin Daxia.

As far as the writing environment is concerned, Jin Daxia's trilogy of god carving and the second biography of flying fox have their own characteristics, except for the book "The Book of Sword, Love and Hate", which has not many characteristics. This is mainly because Jin Yong does not write books to meet the needs of life, but he has time to try to figure out fine products; Ancient heroes, even if they didn't lose Jin Yong, had to write books to earn money to support their families. They must meet the needs of readers and publishers, so they can't elaborate, so that although there are many works, their excitement is limited.
