Summary

Chen Yi, a modern young man, is a librarian at Kyoto University. Obsessed with wuxia and ancient military strategy, he settles for the job after failing a major exam and spends his spare time on the online game Tianxia. By chance he obtains a meteorite pendant. One night after gaming, he unexpectedly transmigrates to Qingping County in ancient times and becomes Lin Batu, a disciple of the Zhengqi Sect. This is a world of martial arts; the Zhengqi Sect has long declined, its old leader Qingxuzi has died of illness, and its properties at the foot of the mountain have been seized by the Qi family. Senior brother Lin Batu is mediocre in talent and repeatedly bullied. Relying on his familiarity with martial arts and military strategy, as well as the help of the mysterious pendant, Lin Batu starts as a mocked weakling and gradually turns things around in sect conflicts and martial contests, striving to revive the sect and reach the peak.

Editor's review

This is a typical transmigration wuxia plus sect-management power fantasy. The protagonist's modern librarian knowledge of military strategy and wuxia serves as his cheat, and he makes a comeback in a declining sect. The appeal lies in martial arts deduction and face-slapping scenes, suitable for readers who enjoy light wuxia and sect building. The weaknesses are a long transmigration setup early on, some dialogue and internet memes that feel out of place, plain prose, and uneven pacing.

Reading tips

  1. Read the first few chapters to understand the transmigration setup and the protagonist's background before entering the sect plot
  2. Pay attention to details of the protagonist using military strategy to reform sword moves; this is the book's core appeal
  3. Skim lengthy bickering and internet memes as appropriate and focus on the main progression line

About the author

Disappearance of Existence Author

Disappearance of Existence is an author about whom little public information is available; only one work by this author is currently included in the collection. Judging from the byline and the available work information, the author's writing centers on fiction for male readers and on the xianxia and wuxia genres, and the representative work Bat Tu Wu Ye falls into this common category. Because basic details such as nationality and dates of birth and death are unknown, it is difficult to establish the author's life and the full scope of their writing, and readers can only come to know this author through the existing work. As a wuxia and xianxia novel, Bat Tu Wu Ye would typically emphasize the structure of the jianghu world, conflicts among factions, and the development of its characters, with attention to fight scenes and the construction of sect systems—elements that readers of this genre value most. The pen name "Disappearance of Existence" carries a philosophical air that forms a subtle contrast with the jianghu atmosphere of the author's martial-arts world. At present, the confirmed information is limited to the title, category, and byline, and further details about writing style and influence must await more works and materials.
