Why do all the martial arts novels written now like to add the flavor of fantasy or Xianxia?

I have discussed in the group before, what will happen if martial arts novels add fantasy? At that time, I probably said this:

What the average person defines as fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, fix true XianXia, his "fantasy" is a mess. I can't tell you exactly these kinds. I only know that their so-called "fantasy" is just a fantasy of flying with an imperial sword and a fireball. To put it bluntly, this fantasy was originally a messy elegance, and now it has become a fireball, an ice gun and a flash.

Martial arts novels can add "magic", but what is this "magic"? Why do you want to add? First of all, there are "illusions" in the Three Kingdoms, Shuihu and Honglou (Journey to the West itself is a supernatural novel), but these illusions are never to satisfy the author's inner YY, but to express his works-in the West, those absurd illusions are born out of reality, so that magical realism is formed-in Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude, those illusions all represent the South American continent.

Martial arts, for example, can show a kind of mysticism, a kind of fate, invisibility, and no nonsense Taoist priest, which is equivalent to death in the movie Death Comes, but an existence that cannot be explained by science and logic-this existence is not for fun, but to express some ideas of works or local customs.

Witches, methods, poisons, decapitation, etc. Why are there so few novels about these "illusions" with strong mystery and customs-novels are methods at best, or because there are too many things written, such as Nanyang witchcraft, landscape poison and Maoshan Taoism, of course, they are not special gods-as I said, they reflect customs and everything.

In the final analysis, just like the low-level demons in fire and ice, the fantasy elements in martial arts should be the "fantasy" that people reflect history under the mysticism of reincarnation and fate.

What is the funniest thing? The most ridiculous thing is the martial arts novels. People nowadays pay attention to martial arts. The so-called fantasy is just an extension of martial arts in their eyes. They are not satisfied with flying over the eaves and walls, but also fly with swords. What's the point?

So I said, they don't know martial arts at all!

Heroes also contain fantasy, the most fantasy is the real dragon body of Tianshan Sect, which is really fantasy, but the author does not regard it as a way of fighting. The real dragon body is finally a martial art (this martial art is not fantasy, fantasy is the way of cultivation).

Commendable fantasy elements in Hero: first, the elements of curse, royal curse and destiny concept; Second, prophecy, two words from a godsend monk, just want to ask, how did he know? Even modern science and technology can't predict the ten-year drought, but it is a very important link in the novel. Without this so-called fantasy, the novel can't go on at all. Third, Ning Bufan's brother or younger brother was originally an apprentice of Huashan. Later, he ran away and ate a grass, so he could tell his fortune. He counted the lives of all four protagonists and revealed the fate of the latter.

What is fantasy? This is fantasy! Those who fight with fantasy are nothing more than fantasy! Look at fire and ice, lower demons, fighting basically depends on hand-to-hand combat, look at Harry Potter, even higher demons, the magic inside is not just for fighting.

A dream of red mansions, the dreamland is too illusory, but is the author illusory for fantasy?

So real martial arts is not for fantasy! If you want to fantasize, it is also for the work!
