The novel 'My Side' was written by Gu Long, a legendary figure in the wuxia genre. Gu Long's works are known for their poetic brevity and psychological depth, and 'My Side' is no exception—it weaves a tale of loyalty, betrayal, and martial arts with his signature flair. I stumbled upon this book years ago, and it left a lasting impression with its unconventional protagonist and fragmented narrative style, which felt ahead of its time.
What's fascinating about Gu Long is how he redefined wuxia by stripping away lengthy descriptions, focusing instead on dialogue and mood. 'My Side' reflects this perfectly—it's raw, fast-paced, and leaves room for the reader's imagination. If you enjoy stories that challenge traditional storytelling, this one's a hidden gem.
