And here i was trying to make taiko drumsticks as a weapon
Yup swords are way overused to the point you can see it as a tag on the novel
Sword are wayyyyy to overused
TigerBlooImmortal yes.. if i am an author, i would go for rubber gloves and face mask.. my mc will do a brutal prostate exam upon his enemies. Even a maou will repent and ascend as an angel after this mc is done.
synncrytech3 different topic but that sounds good
MarcheHare haha that's true, it makes everything more boring
TigerBlooImmortal Oh how about a shovel? Is that an okay weapon of the dao?
How about swinging an unbreakable laptop around, more effective and unique than a sword, right?
Rextraos i think a dictionary is better imagine a hammer nadet of a thick book smashing all the knowledge to your enemies head
MarcheHare Why not a laptop in one hand, and a dictionary in the other? Best of both worlds.
Rextraos hahaha a war which one is better i like it
Rextraos wow now share out there, how about a mental chair canact cool and sit down after hitting someone
MarcheHare call himself the librarian
Rextraos both grants knowledge, but how will you wield the laptop
Can someone make a novel where the government bans the use of sword, because all of the previous rulers died under a sword
Then a young man stumbles and find a legendary sword hiwever that man also hates the sword to an extent.

TigerBlooImmortal Many people, such as yourself may (I'm assuming) fail to understand how diverse swords actually are. There are few people who write about a MC with a rapier, gladius/spatha, executioner's sword, falchions, kopesh, hook sword's/shuang gou, sickle swords and other ancient African swords, and many others.
You see the dacian falx actually curves forward for armor piercing and is used much differently than a normal sword. In fact it was used to defeat the mighty roman army due to this.
It's not just a diversity in weapons needed, but a diversity in types of swords as well.
I can't even tell if this is a high-quality bait or not 
.
TigerBlooImmortal Why not use an unorthodox weapon then? Like an everyday object that is changed up a bit in the story to make a whole new weapon. Like a feather since it can act as a fan, a sword(which considering your taste is not an option), a long range weapon if you use the barb(the soft fluffy part protruding from the quill) as a sort of needle gun, and once it runs out of needles you can use the quill itself as a spear. You can choose one of these options as your weapon base and imagine it like Sun Wukong’s staff and it can shrink or grow so it is easy and convenient for the MC to carry around. When meeting a high ranking official the guards may take away your weapons, but who would take away a small feather?
Elude What baited you?
EldridSmith Whip swords are the only type of swords.
lynerparel Tbh fists are rarely used primarily by MCs. and when they were it tends to only be for a short part of the novel.
