Hero's Daughter

Hero’s Daughter Chapter 53

So we all know the reputation wuxias have for repetitive plots.
Been thinking about it a bit recently, and I think I’ve located the problem in their writing that causes this – a failed attempt at a chiastic structure. For those of you who don’t know chiastic (or “ring”) structure is an ancient and somewhat cyclical structure reminiscent of poetry used everywhere from the texts of the Abrahamic faiths, the Odyssey, the Illiad, and even the Hobbit (to name a few). It follows a pattern of callbacks, or even repeated events to draw the reader into the story. It is easy to see the attempt at this wuxia authors make, but issues arise with how frequently the inner cycles are executed without real progress being made for the main character – that is, the inner cycles that are being repeated serve no or limited narrative purpose that is never rewarded to the audience.

Imagine and MC that constantly goes to a new place, offends some young master, gets challenged by that young master, then kills the young master, then repeat (who am I kidding, you’ve probably read that plot so just remember, don’t imagine 😊). This structure doesn’t inherently make for a bad story, but it’s missing a few things that make it easy to tire of. The MC does not make any progress from this encounter – no treasure gained, no enemy made (as would be the case in a truer chiastic), no lesson learned. The MC has not gone anywhere for his troubles, he is exactly where he started – just with new paint. He doesn’t even remember the encounter. This is by far the biggest issue with the writing – a betrayal of the reader, a broken promise.

Adding some meaning to each of the encounters would allow readers to be drawn into the story. Well, there’s some other issues and fixes that could be done – but there’s a chap for you to read, so bye!

Here’s the second chapter of the week. Look forward to more chapters next week and the following weeks!

As mentioned in the previous post, this chapter is sponsored by Re:Library. If you wish to support us and help us alleviate a little bit of the expenses, you can do so by adding Re:Library to your Adblocker’s whitelist or drop us some donations on our Patreon page.

The scheduled release for Hero’s Daughter will be on the same date and time as the Dragon Princess series. In other words, you can expect the next chapter on Thursday 12:00 AM (GMT +8). So make sure you mark your calendar, we’ll see you again next week!

On a side note, I’ve heard the Hero’s Daughter has ended in the raw. Kudos to the author for completing this fine piece of work with 622 chapters! I wonder what new story will the author write next, I’m looking forward to another great work from him.

Hero’s Daughter Chapter 45

Surprise surprise! We have taken over the Hero’s Daughter project from Yuki to relieve her from the pressure of manning so many projects at once and we will now be guaranteed 2 chapters of Hero’s Daughter per week on Re:Library. The new translator of Hero’s Daughter will be Aurum, please give him your warmest regards.

With this shift of manpower, we will now be guaranteed a weekly release, but as usual, it comes at a cost. For those of you who are already familiar with Re:Library’s Project Gender Bender, then this is just another usual day for you. However, for those who are unfamiliar with our project, then you should know that Re:Library is currently paying for the translation of this novel in order to provide you with a steady pace of weekly releases. If you wish to support us and help us cover some of the bill, feel free to visit our Patreon page and drop us some donations.

Thank you and enjoy the read!
