I don't understand the love everyone has for swords, but it's soooooooo annoying, it's like Evey main character has to use a fucking sword, rarely you will see a spear and once in a blue moon you will see a great sword, but OMG can authors get more creative and lean towards different weapons. I mean katanas are cool and all but it gets old, can I see a mc go around smashing heads and taking names with a hammer, or slithering in the dark with a knife, or anything else (except staffs, cause their boring and I would prefer swords over them) like Im getting so annoyed by the lack of imagination, these authors have, to add people are always complaining about the religion of a stories plot or how open the mac becomes so fast yet when they write an original they fall into the same mistakes. I'm just baffled by this to the point where I have been declining the thought to read any story that has an my who focuses on the way of the sword (in this instance a giant sword does not fall under this category as they can be considered as an exotic weapon)

TigerBlooImmortal How about using his fist as weapons? Is that a cliche as well?

TigerBlooImmortal well using swords were commonly used in history around the world...
Not too short, not too long (distance)
Good for attacking and defense...
Anyways it's only my opinion... XD

Red_Tree spears are wayyy superior and way more used in history... so by your logic there should only be spears depicted in webnovels

darknightofchaos aaaaahhhh ok

lynerparel no, a little boring but still better than swords

Red_Tree I understand but it gets boring when every mc (who is supposed to be unique and special) uses them

darknightofchaos true, swords are a light infantry thing, where as spears are for Calvary and those people who stand behind the shield people

TigerBlooImmortal How about a scythe or some steel cards?

lynerparel yessssss, see I like where your going, like maybe two long sticks with a short blade at the end (don't know what they may be called)

The poles being arm length and not the spear sizes or you can do two short spears that would be nice

TigerBlooImmortal How about a weapon that turns from initial scythe base into a sword, and into a spear? A interchangeable weapon if you may is that better?

lynerparel no really a weapon capable being incorporated into a dao but it would be good for a Japanese fantasy

TigerBlooImmortal Oh then how about a war fan of sorts can that be incorporated with the dao?

lynerparel ohhhhhh, like madaras from naruto, I like that idea alot, the main character having a strong affinity to wind, and wielding a gunbai

TigerBlooImmortal Is a huge hammer also able to incorporate into the dao?

lynerparel yes, any weapon you can fully focus on that incorporates a form of intent can be a dao, a tool the just has multiple weapons does not form a dao because it spotless you up into following multiple intents without making them one(I think this may explain it, maybe). I could be wrong

TigerBlooImmortal How about a scythe that has a bunch of chains on the other end of its handle. The chains have drills on the end.

+1 with a hammer, I actually was thinking about bring one out xD

MeloncholyKay yes I'm a hammer man, myself you know douluo Dalu and all

Seink eh yes that could be good

Exactly! We need Nano-suits! (Someone do a crysis fan fic pls)

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

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

Bobono1

Bobono1 wow just wow I'm speechless, as I was reading it I thought you was referencing saitama but it seems not

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.

I can't even tell if this is a high-quality bait or not .
