Synopsis

Volume 1: Spreading The Art of Kendo [ COMPLETE ]

Volume 2: Community of Sentient Arcana [ COMPLETE ]

Volume 3: The Adventures of Kendo Practitioners [ Will start on Monday 9/27 ]



In this world, anyone who passed the requirements can try to summon a mysterious object from the Arcane World called Arcana...



It doesn't matter whether you summoned a Common Rank or a Mythical Rank, you will be qualified to be called an Arcanist and will be subjected to various benefits that a country can offer...



Albeiron, the Sword Deity, found an interesting soul from Earth who practiced the art of Kendo all his life and decided to reincarnate him to this world because he can.



However, the Deity did not reincarnate him as Human but as a Shinai.



***

[ WPC #122 - Silver Prize Winner ]



This is a story of a Sentient Shinai, who will teach you the Art of Kendo to fight some magical beasts or even some bad people if you're lucky enough to find it.



Please be reminded that the MC is the Shinai... I know you might get attached to his wielders, but after getting wielded by 3 or more people/students, you'll get used to it. That's a part of an object's life. The MC will roam the world.



The Shinai Arcana may be wielded but not owned...

One of the best novels I have read so far, the author knows what hes doing and the writing is free of grammar mistakes. The novel moves steadily and uses techniques such as perspective changes to make this novel work. Its unique and is far from what I expected it to be

First time writing a review, but I feel that I have to. First off the Character design is very good, the characters in the story are definitely not single-minded and are written nicely. The world background is good as well, and the only reason why I'm rating it four in this area is because there are still some things that the novel hasn't mentioned, still waiting for more information about it but so far it's really good. The story development definitely has a lot of potential and the arc with Deither was very well written to a point where I got really attached to the character. The update stability deserves five stars too by the way. I definitely recommend this novel to those who are still hesitating, you won't regret it. Although there are a few cliche's, it will not bother you because it'll feel natural and it actually helps with the story building. Overall, it's really good, you're doing great author, waiting for more updates ♥️

Although I do like non-human mc novels but, I like it where he is in control and travels around to level up in some type of way and evolves. So I got to ask before I read, does he stay as somebody's shinai? Is there always somebody who has control over him ?

This novel is quite good : The writing is quite simple but effective, not useless details/descriptions but enough information to make a pleasant read, the characters are well developed and are quite "human" (Not overly righteous or those lambda villains for now), the fight scene gets better at each chapter, you can feel the improvement. The only little downside is the world/background developpement but we are still only at the 80th chapter so it may get better

Alrighty, this is a solid meh for me. The idea was pretty good, I've seen a few others that are similar but I think this one is better. However, it does have some problems. The main problem this novel has is how ridiculously slow it is. The story surrounding the first two wielders were okay, but once the main character found the third wielder it became super slow. I'm skimming the novel and I still find it excruciatingly slow. Ten or so chapters can go by and nothing really important will happen. Meaningless fights are several chapters long. Arguably the worst part is the POV changes. Theres so many problems with that. Other people's POV lasts so long. Furthermore, upon switching POV's, it will essentially just be repeating events that already happened from a different POV before continuing. Story development is meh. Story takes far too long for anything meaningful to happen. They foreshadow various things, but so far haven't capitalized on anything. As for the characters? Average at best. No matter how many skills the main character gets, it never really feels like hes improving. Side characters are meh. Theres nothing particularly interesting about any of them. The main character's students are average, if not 2d. Once again, I'd just like to point out how much exposition dumping and meaningless filler is included in this novel. Usually, most novels would stop exposition dumping at the start, but this novel never really does. It constantly re-explains stuff, to the point of it be repetitive. Overall, too slow to be enjoyable, especially considering this is a action novel. Fights are boring and almost all of them feel like filler. Everything else is average or below-average.

I am not really a fan of Male Lead Novels but this is the second time I saw something like this. The first time I saw was the Reincarnated as a Stick, now it upgraded on Shinai! Just, wow! Male leads never fail to amaze me! It's a wonderful novel!

Love the story, definitely going to keep supporting it. I'm not the best at reviewing stories but totally I recommend it. Out of most stories I've read this can easily go into the few I have absolutely no problems with. In conclusion: great work, read it :)

This is interesting.. I hope it will have more chapters to read. Based on some novels I read so far, this unique set up of character makes more exciting to wait for next chapter.
