Plot Summary
The plot sumamry should be done in a dissimlar way. This is because at the moment the plot summary is very confusing and incomplete. What do you think? ; ] 218.102.142.40 10:40, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Called me a sentimental cry baby... but I cry in the scene where before Yang Kang died, he babbled about his lover in CCTV version ;_;
 * If no one objects, I'm going to do a massive rewrite of the plot summary. Currently it's too long, too detailed, and parts of it are rather poorly written. Bhamv 06:15, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Perhaps u can try a rewrite and see how the general feeling goes along.Xaiver0510 15:34, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

i feel that as it is a 38 chapter series as well as the next one (sun diew hup lui) which has about the same amount of chapters, the storyline can afford to be a bit long! it is a really good explaination with good accurate translations

Someone's just virtually wiped out the whole story summary; I'm a bit annoyed because I liked have all the info there about the book. Do people like this extremely short version? Note to Lonelydarksky: I personally preferred it when it was more detailed.SunsetFlare (talk) 08:00, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * What you personally prefer may not be appropriate for Wikipedian articles. If you've noticed, the older versions of the entire story summary were already quite detailed. A few months ago, I expanded on all the sections of the plot and made the entire summary even more detailed. But now in retrospect, I feel that such a detailed summary is not really necessary. I know that what I've written recently was not a good summary though, but its original version was far too detailed and long-winded. Perhaps someone can help me with writing a good short and straight-to-the-point summary? See How_to_write_a_plot_summary. Thanks. Lonelydarksky (talk) 08:59, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

I think the current summary is fine but should allow for a detailed writeup. There is simply no way of having a short detailed summary with all the parts in without making it too long. How's that for a compromise? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Watcherq (talk • contribs) 10:08, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Sure. Would you like to be the one to do it? I'm sure there'll be others like me to help you along the way. Please do not bring it back to this version. It's far too long and detailed. See this page for tips on writing a good summary. Lonelydarksky (talk) 12:15, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

I think Lonelydarksky needs to read the "tips on writing a good summary him/herself" - the plot summary currently is crap - there is no appreciation of the novel. Its pretty obvious that he/she's never read this novel - its an epic wuxia and what was posted before was fairly concise and very interesting and informative. Its an on-line encyclopedia for cripes sakes not a on-line readers's digest. Lonelydarksky - just leave other content on Wikipedia alone - you've done enough damage - there are plenty of good articles i love to read on wiki - don't ruin it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.244.36.83 (talk) 23:43, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Wow, even the list of chapters have been deleted (on all the novels). That was a useful reference (which i can't get anymore on Wikipedia). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.244.36.83 (talk) 23:53, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Just for the heck of it i reviewed the plot summaries for Wuthering Heights and Brothers Karamazov (both substantially shorter novels) in order to gain an appreciation of what constitutes a good plot summary. Both have chapter by chapter type summaries like Condor (pre-deletion). Lonelydarksky there is more good content to be deleted - a "editor"'s job is never done. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.244.36.83 (talk) 00:09, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * To 99.244.36.8: In case you haven't noticed, I'm responsible for expanding the plot summary in December last year. In March this year, I decided to shorten the plot summary. This is the version before I expanded on the plot summary last December. Is this what you prefer? Or do you prefer  this version after I expanded on the plot summary? We can always revert it back to  this version, not taking into account my (and others') "contributions" in expanding the plot. Please check the history of pages next time. By the way, to me, you seem to be hinting that you can write a good plot summary for this page. I know that there's plenty of room for improvement for the current one. No one's stopping you unless your edits are not constructive or purely vandalism. I find that your posts seem rather like personal attacks on me. Just to remind you, I've little tolerance for insults, abusive remarks and personal attacks or anything of similar nature. Please write your posts in a more appropriate tone next time.
