  In my humble opinion, the author suffers from "interesting luck" and maybe some failing at self promotion, because nothing else explains the lack of reviews, favorites, and readers.
  Ironically, these are qualities shared by the MC.
  Certainly do not take the above as an excuse to not read it (@A - or to quit writing it).  It is better in every way then 99% of what is out there.
  Xania and "coming of age", like every genre, are built of tropes, memes, and expectations.  They can be a vehicle for story, character, emotions, exploration, and engagement.  Abused, they are sad shells, some of least compelling words put to pages over and over.
  To be clear I am almost unable to read them - it takes something extra to make them digestible.  This delivers, in a start it somewhat reluctantly with low expectations, blink a few times, run out of chapters, realize I need to go back for the follow/favorite buttons, write a review, and probably deal with hunger and other physical needs sort of way.
  You should read it.  You should probably promote it too; it deserves it

  Hey people!
  Why aren't we reading this?
  Blades of Kunlun has everything an afficionados of Wuxia (and Xianxia too, to be clear) is looking for in a story.
  There is a Sect condemned to close its doors, rumours of a plot stretching over Jianghu, a main characters who has got guts and a funny horse.
  (I didn't know I was looking for the latter until I read Double Blades. Believe me you will want more.)
  Still not convinced? Alright, lemme help.
  The story is delivered in short, almost curt sentences but don't think for a second it's LN fare! No, this style has punch and if you don't get clammy hands when young Pengfei meets the Mountain King, you are an unfeeling soul.
  Speaking of young Pengfei, he is a rather well-written teenager, without being annoying. Aim-wise, it takes a little time for him to establish himself a goal, outside of his innitial (and promptly accomplished) one, but the pacing of his adventures distracts you just enough that, when you come to realise it, the author adresses the problem.
  (Seriously, the chapter I was starting to think to myself "where is this going exactly", the story answered it to my satisfaction.)
  As for these aforementioned adventures, I believe they won't bore you. There will be training, exploring, facing spirit beast (bravo author, what a scene), and overall having far too much fun and excitement as would be proper for a taoist practicioner. Don't confuse it with fast pacing though: this story takes its times to establish characters and relationships.
  Now it is not perfect. This deserves some proofreading (to correct misspelling, mostly, or double words). The formating is weird. Some shortcuts are taken with the writing - mostly silences and pauses, which the author conveys with "..." instead of a descriptive sentence. I do think some more effort could be spent, generally speaking, on descriptive narration: the picture is clear enough but could do with a tiny little bit of embellishment. Finally, the pacing could be ever so slight
