Why does every martial arts novel have a cliff and the protagonist always falls?
The cliff was a common scene in martial arts novels. It usually appeared at the climax of the story. It was a trap designed to prevent the protagonist from being captured by the enemy. The cliff was usually a steep mountain peak or a cliff with no support around it. The protagonist would fall off if he was not careful. This kind of design could increase the tension and drama of the story while also allowing the protagonist to exercise his ability and willpower in a dangerous environment. However, it was not the only reason why the protagonist fell off the cliff. It could also be because the cliff itself had a safety hazard or the enemy deliberately set a trap to capture the protagonist. In the creation of novels, the author would design various cliff scenes according to the needs of the story, so that the protagonist would encounter challenges and tests in different environments.
