Legend of the Half-Chivalrous Martial World is a long wuxia infinite-flow novel by the web author Wen Chaogong, serialized on Qidian.com from April 15, 2016. It has 653 chapters, about 1.99 million characters, and is complete. The story takes place in a high-martial world called "Great Qian." Martial arts flourish here, and the Three Teachings and Five Sects hold sway over the world's martial arts. Martial artists begin with post-heaven transformation of qi and progress through innate qi refinement, grandmaster, great grandmaster, and unity of heaven and humanity to shattering the void, and beyond shattering the void there are still broader heavens and earths. The protagonist, Fang Ming, is originally a medicine boy at Huichun Hall in Minglun County, Lechun Commandery, Kang Prefecture in the northwest, but is actually a transmigrated youth carrying a mysterious "Martial Training Token." With the token he enters classic wuxia worlds such as Sword Stained with Royal Blood, Peerless Twin Heroes, Ode to the Gallantry, The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, and Twin of the Tang Dynasty to train, secretly learn skills, seize treasures, fight, and make a name, then brings the gains back to the main world and climbs the realms step by step. The novel interweaves two lines: "leveling up in the main world + fast transmigration through instance worlds." The main world lays out factional strife and the realm system, while the instances concentrate on combat and satisfaction. The protagonist is cold and decisive, and many readers joke that he is "called half-chivalrous but is really half-demon." In his completion remarks the author says that "the way of martial arts ends here," believing that the wuxia layer had been fully written and thus bringing the story to a close.Editor's review
在诸天武侠、快穿同人泛滥的题材里，《武林半侠传》常被老读者拿出来当标杆。它的长处不在新，而在「稳」：主世界的大乾江湖自成一套自洽的境界与势力体系，后天、先天、宗师、大宗师、天人合一层层推进，读者始终清楚主角爬到了哪一级；副本世界则节奏明快、目标明确，进得去、打得爽、拿得到、回得来，不拖泥带水。 作者文抄公对爽点的控制相当老练，打斗密集、反转干脆，反派智商在线，主角从不犯低级的圣母病。也正因如此，它被很多人视为作者本人的巅峰之作，甚至是他真正意义上的第一本小说——构思早于出道作《香火成神道》，打磨经年才动笔。 当然它的短板同样明显：主角行事偏黑暗向，道德观与常规侠客相去甚远；副本用完即弃，配角多为工具人，缺少回望与呼应；后期收束偏仓促。把它当作一部节奏紧凑、不烧脑的爽文来读，收获会最大；若期待厚重的人物弧光与侠义思辨，则容易失望。另需注意，本书在起点正版渠道已下架。Who it's for
A good fit for
- 喜欢武侠题材、又不排斥无限流与快穿结构的读者
- 能接受主角偏黑暗向、杀伐果断性格的老白读者
- 想找节奏紧凑、打斗密集、阅读负担轻的爽文的读者
- 对金庸、古龙经典世界有情怀，喜欢看同人式再演绎的人
Not a good fit for
- 反感主角道德观偏离传统侠义、行事利己的读者
- 看重人物塑造与情感积淀，不喜欢工具人配角的读者
- 对大量打斗与境界升级描写易感疲劳的读者
- 只接受纸质正版出版物、排斥网络连载文本的读者
Reading tips
- 先读前十章确认是否接受主角的行事风格，再决定是否长线追读
- 抓住主世界的境界线，把各个副本当作练功与爽点段落，不必强求伏笔回收
- 可把《碧血剑》《笑傲江湖》《大唐双龙传》等副本当作独立的短篇单元视之，读起来更轻松
- 若中途感到套路重复，可适当跳读副本内的过渡章节，直奔对决与收获段落

FAQ
《武林半侠传》是一本什么类型的小说？
它是文抄公创作的长篇武侠无限流网络小说，主世界为架空的高武大乾，主角凭「演武令」往返于多个经典武侠世界历练成长，属于「主世界升级＋副本快穿」的结构。这本书完结了吗？大概多少字？
已完结，共六百五十三章，约一百九十九万字。2016年4月开始在起点中文网连载，作者在完本感言中表示武侠这一层已写透，故收束全书。书里的「演武令」是什么？
演武令是主角方明随身携带的核心道具，也是全书金手指。它让主角能够进入不同的武侠世界历练、习武、夺取机缘，再把收获带回大乾主世界。为什么有读者说它「名为半侠，实为半魔」？
因为主角行事以自身求道与利益为先，杀伐果断、不讲传统侠义，解决不了问题就解决提出问题的人，与传统侠客形象相去甚远，故被读者这样调侃。现在还能在起点看到这本书吗？
