It’s modeled after a Jian, or in western terms tai chi sword, which have minimal or no guards. It still has a hilt as evidenced by the fact you have something to hold and a pommel.
Honestly as a smith I like it. yeah the fuller groves are unnecessarily ornate, but overall it’s a sound design, unlike darkness which was only mostly decent on account of the fact that the guard and quillon tips both hard sharp pointy bits that were a risk to the wielder.
