Find the save file
The save file is located in C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Stories\Saved\SaveGames (Win+R and "%localappdata%\Stories\Saved\SaveGames")
It is named StoriesSaveSlot.sav
Make a backup before attempting anything, just in case!
Edit the save file
There are probably many tools to do this but I used this https://www.saveeditonline.com/
I cheated by adding experience points, there's probably a better way but I don't know what to edit
  1. Make sure your game is not running
  2. Upload your save file to the website
  3. Search (Ctrl+F) for "S_XP_Pts" once it loaded
  4. Add a lot of points by editing the value, by clicking the dark green value (I read that the xp/level caps at 30,000, so add 1 million xp if you want to be safe)
  5. Go to the bottom of the web page and click the blue "Download StoriesSaveSlot.sav" button
  6. Replace your save file with this new one (make a backup!)
Level Up
To get Sword Fu Master you need to complete the skill tree by spending points.
To get points you need to level up.
With the XP you added, you'll level up after each fight (or something like that, it's janky).
When the fights end, the xp panel stays on instead of going away after a few seconds as usual. This hasn't posed me an issue but it may be one for you if you plan on continuing to play.
Closing Words

Not a fan of the huge grind that is required without cheating like I did. I needed 4 more levels after finding all stories, would have been hours of tedious grind. The combat is fun and I wouldn't have minded spending time in an arena mode, but I couldn't stand spending most of my time waiting for the narrator to say stuff I already listened to.

Because I still had to "work" for it, and that way it's still the game that unlocks the achievement.
I can see why it wouldn't matter to someone, but I'd rather do this :) (I know/knew about SAM)

Why do you feel the need to do all these difficult and time consuming steps when you can just unlock the achievement in a simple button click? With the Steam Achievement Manager (SAM) you can literally unlock the achievement in an instant.

You are already cheating your way to get the achievement you are most annoyed with, so why not ignore all those unnecessary steps and do it instantly with 1 button.

Also don't worry, if you think you will get banned for using it, well don't worry at all. They could care less how you get your achievements

Actually, rather than just modifying S_XP_Pts, which is raw experience level, you can also modify S_Level (your character level) and S_Levelup_Pts (extra skill points) as well, since the game have a cap to limit you from leveling up many times (once per battle).

sadly, i cant find where the parameter that handle skill tier unlock or which story unlocked to reduce the grind though.
