The Nangong Clan's Youngest Lord

Nangong Taishao has hit rock bottom. Penniless, homeless and labelled as the reject of the Nangong clan, he awaits a pitiful death. That is, until some trick of fate drops him right into a new opportunity. The premise is an underdog fantasy in which a discarded young man is given a chance to prove himself.The strength is the underdog hook. Taishao's desperation is easy to feel, and his rise from nothing is satisfying to follow. The action is bold and the clan politics add extra drama.The weaknesses are about the formula. The rejected-then-rising structure is common in the genre, and the series is still releasing, so its arc is incomplete. Readers wanting originality may find it familiar.Recommended for fans of underdog fantasy action. Expect an energetic, still-developing read.
