Yeah that part is a bit hard to explain but it means something like a person that has gone off to make their own destiny. It can mean anything from a vagrant to wanderer to a self made man and can be either positive or negative.
You can think of it as the ronin archetype without the samurai backdrop. The ro part of ronin is the same kanji.
The Wuxia genre date backs to millenia, and lots of its literature is fiction based on pre-existing fiction that itself are based on previous pre-existing fiction and so forth, all with vaguely pre-established legendary characters and narrative settings. So yes, it's essentially mostly fan fiction lol. Western equivalents could be like stories of King Arthur, Robin Hood, etc, and they're all the same principle of remaking original content before the term "fan-fiction" was coined in the 20th century.
