Young Masters, let's talk about martial arts/wuxia/xianxia video games before I cripple you and destroy your cultivation.
Young Masters...
I only ever got into Amazing Cultivation Sim, pretty good plays like Rimworld but on crack
I need to play matchless kungfu one of these days. I liked the demo a lot.
came here to say i'm jumping back into this. I really need a Tale of Immortal but good game
I zoned out for the last 6 months and apparently wandering sword gets a new dlc next month.
Not a free update this time, but considering the last 2 releases, I will pay the 7 bucks
It's quite fun but as more of the world gets built, it might make the computer shriek more.
This game is pretty good there's an english mod on steam.
store.steampowered.com
xianxia thread
Low fantasy like Wuxia is the best because it actually has martial arts. Xianxia and Xuanhuan are just people hitting each other with their relic items
Tale of Immortal is so kino.
go to an auction to bid on some manuals
win a bidding war against some guy
he attacks me after hoping to take it from me
fight him, win and decide to kill him
his master two realms above comes to defend him
it's a woman
beat her eventually after a hard fight
she vows to become my partner if I let her go
I let her go and make her my concubine
eventually marry her
Kino.
Chinaman
Chad
Literally enslaved by a brutal dictatorship
cannot think freely, must only think and act as the state commands
wandering from your assigned task results in arrest and re-education
Chinese people not actually educated
Chinese people suicidal and constantly getting themselves killed
No concept of safety and self preservation
China is mocked globally.
I never finished. I gave up when the panda attacked.
Junior, you're courting death! You'd better slap yourself 50 times to wash away that shame!
fall 2026
Fucking hell how am I supposed to wait that long
How are juniors enjoying the new content? Honestly most of the chinese theming is on-point though I'm sad there's no direct cultivation references.
I hate how all wuxia MCs looks the same just like how every japanese isekaislop MCs are the same dark haired bland guys. And most of the girls aren't even cute.
litrpg>progression fantasy>xanxia
This is Anon Babble, go back to Anon Babble before I blast you away with my level 9001 cock
Are there any reincarnation games? I think it had more potential than immortality bad/immortality good since you could have different personalities at different lives.
I'm still hunting for good wuxia or xianxia games on Steam that is either rpg or simulation, but sadly some of chinese game lack english translation.
litrpg above anything
LOL
It's gonna go wrong won't it?
youtube.com
they nailed the relationship revenge and sect progress systems. Exploration and combat was horrible
kek what are some good xianxias?
It has a game now? I thought it's pretty niche.
mfw there will never be a reverend insanity game
too ADD to read but this looks sick
youtube.com
Lord of the Mysteries is huge in China. An anime show and a manga are already being made.
Woo shing ching chang e low maw bing bang
If it gets a JP dub it could be more popular overseas
Lord of the Mysteries isn't xianxia though, more lovecraftian than anything in a victorian setting.
I do not like those clothes.
Wasn't he supposed to write a 2nd book or something? I read the first one but it ends on some cliffhanger.
i need legend of mortal translated
you get powerful by drinking potions made from weird stuff or dead people and by performing rituals
eventually you start fighting gods and reality warpers
It's a xianxia and it's genuinely kino.
The 2nd book is done.
Litrpgs can be okay but their fundamental issue that they don't follow DnD scaling. +1 to a stat becomes more and more meaningless as the story goes on and the MC has over 1000+ in stats
At least with DnD you will typically never see a character with above 20 in a stat, at least in low-level games. And if you do its typically a sign you're fucked beyond repair.
No idea why, though. Lord of the Mysteries is mid. It's far too slow, the main character is a moron when he is not a retard, and the author has a tantalizing way to imply he got some answers, but in fact he doesn't, then 250 chapters later he will tantalizingly say maybe you'll get an answer, like, later, then 184 chapters later you get a morsel of something that could lead to an answer about a question.
I mean, putting aside the sociopathy of the MC which is common for Cultivation, and the writing that is subpar, and the isekai, and the harem, and the characters that are one-dimensional, at least the main mysteries could be worth something. Unless you're a complete retard, you mostly read Lord of the Mysteries for the mysteries anyway, which the author touch maybe one chapter out of 500, between harem, sociopathy, isekai shit, and stuff like that.
It unironically makes me fear for the future of China if young chinamen see something so mid as a masterpiece.
Read Cradle by Will Wright.
gweilo who regurgitates cultivation tropes with no literary artistry to make it interesting
nah
sociopathy of the MC
How is he a sociopath? He's kind and cares about people.
harem
What harem he's a sexless incel.
isekai
It's not an isekai so this shows me you didn't read the book
i wonder if ho to lo shu 2 and cultivator way of life 2 will have native translation
Eh, eh. That gweilo produced a 5/10 product with a lot of reused tropes, characters that make no sense, and plotlines that went nowhere.
It's better than 90% of cultivation novels from China. You're literally discussing the shape and smell of shit, if that gweilo shit is better and less foul smelling than that China shit. The gweilo shit is foul, but somewhat average, from China's shit.
LoTM is hardly perfect, but Klein is basically a saint compared to most chinese WN protags so its a weird thing to sperg about.
that picture looks interesting what does it mean?
he doesn’t know
Should I tell junior? It’s the least I can do.
Litrpg IS xianxia; it’s just got the serial numbers filed off, swaps the mythology and automates the progression.
Tell me, anon, what’s the meaningful difference between someone being unassailable because they’re level fifty with an high con, and someone being unsassailable because they’ve reached rank five of the ding-dong realm and have remodelled their body?
To increase your cultivation in LotM you need to do a ritual and the ritual the MC has to do is to create an entire city of fake marionette people that act just like real people would
The difference is it's made in hamburger. John Shoot the level 100 Navy Seal would beat Mung Hao the celestial immortal because all his treasures and paths are made in china.
its shit thats why i recommend it
you do you Ranjeet KEK
What do we think about his novel?
it starts great but gets worse with time. i d say it s worth the read at the very least
I read the first five books of LotM, exactly because a retard on Anon Babble, like six years ago, told me to read it. A bunch of time wasted.
How is he a sociopath? He's kind and cares about people.
Oh, absolutely, he isn't worse than the typical Cultivation sociopath, sure. He just think about him, himself, and himself first, and seem to have a pathological inability to think about others not on chess piece terms. It's something from the very first chapter.
What harem he's a sexless incel.
Many of the girls revolve around him. It wouldn't be much of an issue, and that's the genre, if the entire novel wasn't so mid. It's cool to have girls revolving around the MC when the novel is cool. It's something else to read that when you'd prefer to get a teeth pulled out rather than reading it.
It's not an isekai so this shows me you didn't read the book
Did we get an answer about that? After 3500 chapters? Cool.
Basically from what I remember from what I read then: LotM is about a guy isekai'd into victorian Englan, with werewolves and Chtulhu and shit. He proceeds to trick some people into thinking he is a Great Figure, by accident, while eating werewolves legs for cultivation. Then her sister is something, I tuned out, it's forgotten. He goes to London to investigate, then goes to pirate, and etc.
The pacing is painfully slow. The worldbuilding is atrocious. The author absolutely put many jingling bells in front of you, telling you "AH! I'll answer!" like, later, 100% I promise.
It's 100% jingling bells and tropes done to death, and it goes nowhere, though I'd admit I've only read 650,000 words of the novel.
Many of the girls revolve around him.
I think LotM is notorious for being as asexual as it is.
Somehow I doubt you read anything given your obvious linguistic inadequacies.
*adjusts monocle* good day to you too sir.
Nine Sols is pretty good.
So the same as US of Israel but less gay.
I think it's hands down the best webnovel. It goes up and down a bit, and desu I started skipping most battles at some point, but for what it is it's kino.
I read a lot of slop, and for being at over 2k chapters now it's fine. The characters being characters does help a lot, as does good humor.
"Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work"
Korean novel inspired by SCP
absolutely great writing and potrays the main character as a kind man in an insane world who's also himself
every arc fills you with dread and how they're gonna get out of it from evil horrors that will mutilate your body and soul
I highly recommend it if you wanna read something.
Reading slop in the first place
play hero's adventure
get to the tower of prosperity
MC takes the time to look directly at the player and tell them that trannies are revolting
Of all the things I was expecting, that wasn't one of them
what game is this, anybody know
kino 90's DOS game
bsky.app
Got Dropped into a Ghost Story
Still Gotta Work
This thread belongs to Him.
it starts great but gets worse with time.
the entire wuxia/xianxia author base suddenly coughs blood when junior speaks the deepest dao
Just a heads up, Anon Babble is a GODvel board.
He's the best venerable. Spectral Soul and Paradise Earth compete for the second spot while Primordial Origin is in third place. Last place is either Star Constellation or Genesis Lotus.
I like this thread and like the novel recommendations but why is this even on Anon Babble?
Cultivation is just grinding for levels to break the system.
Based Hulkbro.
Because the sect will undoubtedly receive a myriad of benefits by expanding their influence.
Anon Babble is a wasteland of schizo nonsense with the same 5 retards spamming the same unfunny jokes.
DUDE
DAVID
FOSTER
WALLACE
Its not like half the catalog is on-topic either, at least everyone here is well behaved
I read reverend insanity and it's just poorly written edgy shit
fang yuan goes here, he finds exactly what he is looking for, he kills babies, all exactly as he planned
chinese capeshit
What about these clothes?
solos your chinkSLOP
Yes, I hide a snake in my staff and shoot it out when fighting and that still count as a martial art
I'm not a massive fan, they're overly designed if that makes any sense? Sometimes less is more
my dad can beat up your dad
Back to the kindergarden with you.
capeshit is about any westoid snowflake gaining unique superpowers after being exposed to radiation. Cultivation is about mortals attending Dao Hogwarts and putting in effort to have higher Qi and ultimately become immortal. Easy to conflate the two when you're media illiterate
it's objectively better thoughbeit
it was really grating by the end but it got quite a few chuckles out of me
eithan and ziel best characters. just wish he did something more interesting for Yerin
Hulk is immortal and the personification of Marvel's SUPREME GOD's wrath on the physical plane.
I get your point, but they were flashy to denote the new status of the MC and distinguish it from the simpler design and color scheme for the Wudang robes, which you dislike.
Do you have a design in mind that nails the balance?
I love how in cultivation shit the women always show more skin than the men. But only the hot ones.
sure but he didn't work for it i.e capeshit
Limitless is the best since he went the furthest.
Jade beauties from big families tend to cover most of the body except for arms/pits
he doesn't know what struggles the GODulk had to overcome through the years
wood build in Tale of Immortal
I have made a massive mistake.
The truth is that they're all fine unless you add isekai, which is when it instantly turns to shit.
If you have assets why not show it off? A harvest, bountiful beyond measure, will speak for itself.
the best Chinese novel isn't about cultivation
Can't wait for this summer where we experience Kino in anime form.
after he got those powers. Which defeats the purpose of the heroes' journey. You wouldn't get it
Based. Superman BTFO these cucks.
The only thing people should be cultivating is rape.
Pull out glowing green jade
Now what?
he thinks Bruce had a normal a struggle-free life before the Hulk
Kek.
Chugging potions isn't too far off.
Yes, junior? My cultivation scripture requires me to steal the yin of fair maidens by force, you're not saying anything new.
general rule of Anon Babble is that the best discussions are had outside the topic's home board
4th step cultivators could wipe him from existence just by thinking about it
maidens
women are not rapeseed oil, get back to the rapefields you chink slave
Is this the thread?
The game will be an MMORPG I think. What Sequence would you go for?
i know that epic reference
wow it's such a struggle to get a phD, no one has ever done it and accidentally get exposed to radiation oopsy
ROFLLLL i accept your concession
Anyone else read this?
This shit disguises itself as a horny novel but has some of the best writing I have seen in cultivation stories later on. It unironically made me cry at a couple of points and the way it handles the cultivation system, with real/illusionary worlds and past lives is fascinating.
admits to not reading Hulk comics
Yup.
Wood is pretty good but you can't wing it, you really need a guide otherwise you can brick your build.
This remind me of good old kung fu film and series not like today's gayfemboy.
love xianxia in theory
absolutely hate the vast majority of MCs
is there a GOOD xianxia or xianxia adjacent novel with a non bloodthirsty MC that's not Cradle?
based western xianxia enthusiasts
Thor could unironically kill them all.
power... le corrupts
So is it all chiggers/SEAmonkeys in these threads? Surely no white people actually enjoy this slop?
bruce banner's struggles are totally relevant leading to him being gaining powers deservedly via accidental exposure to radiation. he totally worked for it
LMAOOO it keeps getting more embarrassing
Unlike what the cheap title might suggest, this is unironically qui good.
Slow and steady well written story.
CapeGODS.....I kneel.
So is it all chiggers/SEAmonkeys in these threads? Surely no white people actually enjoy this slop?
If you want to know the demographics of Anon Babble so badly, just do a survey. I promise to answer truthfully, and the results may surprise you. I know who uses this site because I was still using it when there were still White people.
The people using it now may use their language, but they're very different to the people who came before.
Much better. I don't feel like replaying the game again though, extreme mode was cancer.
I do, it's a guilty pleasure of mine. I also roleplay as a xianxia protagonist in life which is how I got ripped and richer than when I was a fat slob.
Litrpg is turbo slop
Progression is way better
only thing white anons can come together on Anon Babble is shitting on modern pozzed games and OoT threads
white people do not enjoy DBZ
cope faggot
Can't we just have fun? We are making fun of this genre too.
Slow and steady
ok now I'm interested. tell me more. does it have a manhua? is it any good?
if you make a thread about certain genre at least make a list of the games for newfag to play
What is exactly this genre of fiction? Is it like chinese cape comics?
No habla espanol, Pablo.
chinese shonen fantasy with cape powercreep
I tried giving litrpgs a try and was very disappointed.
First read primal hunter. The story itself was quite fun but the author pads half the book with the literary equivalent of mmo grinding. Reading the protagonist just mindlessly grinding levels with nothing really interesting going on completely put me off the book.
I then tried defiance after the fall, but the start of that was awful, at least primal hunter had an engaging beginning. Then as it progressed it got a bit better but I ended up dropping it because it was still boring and I didn't like any of the characters including the protagonist.
Haven't touched any more litrpgs since
Thunderbolt Fantasy
rent free (literally)
Any inheritance package kinda trivializes it, honestly.
Unless you pick all the modifiers
white leftists and (((white))) people ruined gaming, even indies are a bunch of pozzed cucks, if not offensively so, no wonder Anon Babble is filled with HUEmonkies and SEAnigs
Super supportive is pretty good though it's barely a litrpg
Author only gave it the tag because Royal road's readerbase is retarded and they only read litrpg
I'M CALLING ICE PACO
Super supportive
The first few arcs are okay but the author has turned slow-pace into milisecond pacing. Like I get it you have a lot world building notes but I don't care about the not!cultivatiors and why they like certain kind of fish on their off days, fuck off. This isn't why I read this why are you focusing on this???
try Dungeon Diving by Bruce Sentar. good story, fun cast, slow, good worldbuilding. Maybe there is TOO MUCH worldbuilding, I don't need to know about elvish steel trade.
there is just one reason you may not like it: it's haremlit.
It doesn't have a manhua, but even if it did why would you read it? Manhua adaptations almost always ruin the source material unlike manga and manhwa.
The story itself isn't unique per say, it's just a very well executed version of a pretty conventional cultivation story. It also avoids a lot of the more mindless cliches you might come to expect and takes them in w direction most stories wouldn't.
It still has plenty of what you might expect from a cultivation story, but the author really did a good job picking what works and throwing away what doesn't.
The protagonist isn't really in any rush to gain power either, and characters take some time to develop as well, so the pacing is a lot more comfy.
It's just an enjoyable read, I really recommend it.
The protagonist isn't really in any rush to gain power either,
FINALLY.
Xianxia is at its best when it incorporates some daoism. I don't think anything in wuxia has topped Meng Hao's ascension to immortality in ISSTH.
I genuinely believe that a lot of shitposting and shitting on games are SEAmonkeys and Brazillians because they genuinely cannot understand what it feels like to play games anymore and also they keep praising China nonstop.
I am fine with haremlit, in fact I have read some other stuff by Bruce, I really enjoyed his Dragon Justice series although I didn't get close to finishing it. The first book of that was really good.
I put off Dungeon Diving because I wasn't sure how interesting it would be but I may give it a try now.
Dungeon Diving by Bruce Sentar
Thanks I'll check it out, I want to read more litrpg but they all drag out more and more and never end.
only us white people enjoy this slop
chinks actually mock us for enjoying the worst cultivation webnovels from decades ago but those are the only ones translated
Tale of Wuxia and (Pre).
This. So much this. Us white people should be ashamed of ourselves. A life without black cocks isn't a life worth living.
He's literally me.
Speaking of haremlit , this is probably the most nonharemlit haremlit book.
In fact if this wasn't haremlit it might have blown up with normalfags.
From any authors perspective, it's extremely difficult to know whether something will be interesting or boring to your audience
The best thing you can do is ignore your writings for a few months before reading it yourself. Problem is that's less possible with the nature of serials/web novels
Also that's a shame to hear. I haven't gotten caught up on super supportive in quite some time.
lost to the CCP
I put off Dungeon Diving because I wasn't sure how interesting it would be but I may give it a try now.
the problem is that it tends to be REALLY slow. it's my first Bruce work (and my first haremlit in general), I don't know if he does it everytime, but he tends to spend a lot of time in developing the world to the point that I start to get bored. but when shit its the fan and we get to the action or to the plot it becomes very very good.
And Crimson is one of the best heroine I've read. it's how you should make a badass female.
Sexy as hell, 100% badass to the point that two different worlds (three probably) are scared shitless about her, and 100% devoted to MC. And MC is a badass n its own right, though the growth is still pretty slow as of book 4 he's just reached level 20.
it's on my backlog, but I didn't know it was an haremlit, I thought it was magic school stuff.
He's basically the antithesis of the average chinese, loves freedom and is extremely ambitious.
Honestly I prefer Wuxia to Xianxia. Wuxia deal with the struggle of people more than Xianxia and the historical context really sell those struggle.
Father got executed by the corrupt king

what does Anon Babble think about wandering inn
i finally got out of the sunk cost fallacy and stopped reading it when bird became trans
Well, funny you say that, I'm probably the Whitest person in this thread but I'm merely just curious as to what this is. I've seen some funny pictures about cultivation before, that's about it. You might say I'm cultivating knowledge.
Everyone in this thread wears a green hat
One of the big problems most have is a combo of statblock autism and wegh syndrome.
Authors who have a finished series under their belt can be generally trusted to write far better books
litrpg
Give me your thoughts on this. I think it's one of the best stories I've read.
forums.spacebattles.com
This but I also like Wuxia more cuz the power ceiling is at the floor instead of the sky. Hard to actually give a shit about fights when everyone and their mother have 10 billion skills.
Is this overlord fan fiction?
And Crimson is one of the best heroine I've read. it's how you should make a badass female.

Overlord is shit so I shill a fanfic, yes. It's the superior read. If Overlord can get published and get tons of fans, anything can.
Play Aura Clash by /ourguy/ from Anon Babble.
I mean it does have a harem, although it's not at all apparent from the first volume since it focuses completely on only one girl.
And the author generally writes harems as well.
Its weird to think about how badly this shit will age in like 20-30 years. But being on-topic, the author is good but is clearly suffering liberal brainrot
It starts out extremely good but 2 chapters a day really drags down the quality. It could be a lot better
Yes, Jin Yong. Most olders Wuxia works have realy selfless MC
Having watched the Sseth video, that shit looks like ASS. Like a terrible mix between Rimworld and an idleclicker but you make rooms and have pawns do work to raise chi instead of idleclicking.
i forgot to add
newest release is 4x xianxia

Watch Thunderbolt Fantasy. Now!
nah its dogshit smut
really like an english wuxia novel
it's not popular at all but still really good
its following is so small that I can't bring it up anywhere without getting accused of being the author shilling it
I spend every day fearing that it will get dropped but I am powerless to resist the heavens.
Average cultivator mc is a 1 in 100000 year talent with 12 special Phoenix dragon and jade emporer bloodlines and max luck to stumple across 5 once in a thousand year oppurtunities in ever town they visit, are they really defying the heavens?
It isn't wuxia or xianxia. It's closer to Bleach than anything chinese.
Most people don't want to read something that piggybacks off the fame of another's work. It is what it is.
Seems like xianxia/wuxia is generally fee from NTR shit (at least on the protagonist side of things since there is plenty of cucking otherwise).
I can't even think of a cultivation story where the protagonist gets NTRed
I like Xianxia more, the vastness it offers and the power system, when it is properly implemented, appeals to me.
Martial World begins with the protag getting NTR'd of his childhood friend/fiance. But otherwise you're right
Seems like xianxia/wuxia is generally fee from NTR shit
he hasn't read Sentimental Swordsman, Ruthless Sword by one of the granddads of the genre
That's literally the idea where the villain cultivation stories spawned from.
All these protagonists are just children of heaven favored by luck.
WHAT NOVEL
Seems like xianxia/wuxia is generally fee from NTR shit
But it is FILLED with NTR baiting. Almost every xianxia I read in the 2010s had an arc where MC's woman was being forcefully married off by her family to another man.
How does someone like Bruce Sentar even get started? I can't find info about his publisher so it seems like he just posts them on Amazon
I know a lot of people do Royal Road > milk it until you stop gaining patreon subscribers > stub it and move to kindle unlimited exclusivity
Did Bruce just get lucky and have one of his earlier works officially published or what
mixed
why
What did I just fucking say?
It got updated recently, that's all I'm willing to give.
Haremlit has a well established community where even remotely competently written shit can easily get very popular because of how much dogshit exists in the niche.
Most of the haremlit stuff just gets released in Amazon and never gets posted on royal road or anything similar.
I liked the first round of questioning about the nature of immortality, and am very much looking forward to the second round's combat shenanigans. My only major complaints are the endless Heishou IDs and Xichun ceaselessly piling up the death flags
You clearly deserve all the shit you get for being such a colossal gatekeeping homo
Exactly, they're called fated encounters and you as the reader tags along on the protag's journey of increasing power levels, obtaining relis/manuals and coming across eccentric masters to learn from instead of just being born a billionaire or getting bit by a spider and have powers 0 to 100%
Wuxia has some of the best old man designs and characteristic
The five greatest martial artists in the world
Eastern Heretic: a massive tsundere guy who think he is better than everyone else.
Western Venom: Evil guy who use poison and toad martial art
Southern Emperor: Guy got cucked and then refused to save the baby of his wife. Become a monk to atone for his crime
Northen Beggar: Leader of the beggar sect, like to eat and shoot dragon energy out of his hand
Central Divide: The greatest martial artist among them, even on his deathbed he still beat one of the other 4.
One of my favourites got updated recently, it's called Nameless Sovereign
afraid his favorite novel will get dropped for being unpopular
doesn't share it or make any attempt to increase its popularity even when directly asked
stop samefagging no one cares
I got turned off when the fursecution angle ramped up
I read it but later on the updates became really slow and I forgot about the plot.
Step 1: Put big tits on the cover
that's really it. Since the fantasy genre got gatecrashed by cat ladies and legbeards, the mere fact a book has big tits on the cover means that men don't have to worry about getting rugpulled.
The weebshit on the first volume was really annoying from me. Like we go from a traditional western village to a place where everyone wears kimonos all the time and has japanese customs, and they are supposed to be in the same country? It just feels ridiculous and completely unnecessary.
The obsession with demihumans/beastmen felt the same way, especially when it became clear that every single girl was going to be one.
This is kino actually.

You will learn the dao and the mysteries of heaven and earth, junior, and you will like it.
ok i'll check it out
not on light novel world
where do you guys read shit
all the sites i used before got shut down and all the ones i googled after were paywalled besides light novel world
You guys should read Star Odyssey or Tribulation of Myriad Races.
That's not a small following at all.

non bloodthirsty MC
Haremlit has a well established community where even remotely competently written shit can easily get very popular because of how much dogshit exists in the niche.
I believe that but do they have like a forum or places they advertise or do they just cold drop that shit on amazon?
Like non-harem litrpg/progression stuff for instance would pretty much never be successful just straight up releasing it on amazon. All the ones doing well on amazon have either publishers or pre-existing followings through royal road
Surprisingly no one posted picrel
Is this thread compromised?
Everyone knows of it, and has read at least a bit of it. It's also dropped so there isn't much new stuff to discuss.
This thread has evolved more so in the direction of recommending lesser known more obscure stuff.

Throws two kids into a furnace for a cultivation gu even after he obtained A rank talent
"chinks MCs are sociopaths"
*proceeds to play nuGoW to become a better man because revenge and killing even when justified makes you the bad man but worse than the ones who messed your whole life*
Holy shit, I always hate they don't get cultivation worldbuilding.
What do you do when everyone competes for true immortality a cultural age of warlords and empires and the world is dog-eat-dog when a spirit beast, hungry ghost or evil cultivator isn't killing people? Wear a green hat and become the better man™?
Fucking cucks and tourists have eyes but can't see Mount Tai.
There is a reddit and discord for it where they advertise their stuff. The haremlit audience is primarily mass up of gooners so much like all gooners they are a lot more willing to open their wallet for good stuff
If Heaven's Will throws prey before a predator who's fault is it?
Pretty much. Men has been so starved by genres for us that will buy anything. If that anything is remotely competent like Bruce Sentar's work or K.D robertsons one it will immediately blow up. That anc consistency, as in sperge ad many series as you can. Twoat times looks the norm for well established authors.
Honestly? If you're a good wirter give
I posted the wrong image You should try checking out My Longevity Simulation then, it is basically RI with worse MC and better world building
He gets a lot of flak for being "evil" when he is really just freedom-obsessed and adapted to living in a world full of mass murderers and the mentally ill.
This incest kino was pretty great, I got bored of the slow free chapter releases though. Anyone kept up with it?
Read this shit because I hear it is popular
MC have a tense and antagonistic relationship with the villainess
Villainess is forcefully transform into a small snake after her plan backfired
MC keep the snake and they grow closer on their journey
Good, so far so good
MC got drugged with aphrodisiac and rape the villainess
WHAT?
Their development return to 0 after this event and MC never tell anyone about this. Then they go their seperate way
When the villainess return, she now have the MC child and only rekindle their relationship if MC pay for child support.
Who the fuck wrote this?
Starts chanting buddhist teachings while forcing a bear he starved to devour a little girl.
Damn
I should've catered to gooners... Artists figured this shit out already and I'm just playing catch up. I will finish my current progression slop to not disappointment my small readerbase
thank you
Much like all things, you get something and lose something.
If you are an actual decent writer, you can make some decent money pandering to gooners, but you basically lose any chance of your works achieving mass mainstream appeal like some progressive fantasy series with zero to little romance have.
Btw what is the name of your progression slop, I am quite interested in reading what another anon has made myself
Again. It's not too late. IF you're a good writer. The genre is still relatively recent and not oversaturated by good stuff
should i be worried?
about to argue about Dao Comprehension
realize 99% of xianxia novels dont have it despite all of them keep yapping about the great dao
Why is it the case?
The first popular novel with dao comprehension is Renegade immortal, it finished in 2012 and the only unique thing about it is its dao comprehension part
Why there are rarely anyone else put dao comprehension in their novels despite this, even including high effort ones?
A-anon?
Are you ok?!
i remember one where some dude pissed off the MC so once he got his godly powers he had every person in the world with that guys last name just die. doesn't get more out by the roots than that
Comprehension is a thing in almost every cultivation novel I have read.
but you basically lose any chance of your works achieving mass mainstream appeal like some progressive fantasy series with zero to little romance have.
I wish that was true. Lately I found troonshit even in progfantasy. I was reading Arcane Ascension, and suddenly there is romance betwen MC and the Nigger, the MC who was supppsed to be asexual on book 1. I can't read anything anymore without questionig it first
Tribulation of Myriad Races
This was great just for the factional conflict that felt real and multi-facted. Really good build-up where the MC tries to play nice until they finally push him over the line and he goes
FUCK IT, WE BALL
The author's other work Star Gate is amazing too, nice to finally see a work where the mentor grows with the MC and stays relevant to the plot.
I'm flattered by the interest but I'm keeping it a secret. Not even my family knows about it because I don't want to be mommy's little failed author at gatherings.
I learned a lot writing as it's my first work I've shown other people, so at least it hasn't been a complete waste of time.
Tbh I also don't think I could manage to write harem so my next work will also most likely be little-to-no-romance progression slop
They never go deep into it tho
There is a whole arc in Renegade immortal where the mc just turn off his power, live like mortal person for multiple decades to comprehend the dao
Lately I found troonshit even in progfantasy.
for me it's Worm's female jew main character having sex with her black boyfriend after beating up neo-nazis
It should be noted that the haremlit audience has a great aversion for cuckshit or anything even remotely cuckshit adjacent (excluding netori).
Stuff that includes shit like that is banned in their subreddit for example and cases where it has happened have caused enough drama that authors have even been forced to rewrite their stories because of it.
Would this count as a cultivation game? Can I decimate a young master's bloodline for having crossed me? I wish there were more 3d, open world cultivation games.
You say that but Grue suffered nearly everystep of the way. The fact he was by far the most 'stable' parahuman who got powers twice despite being utterly and completely dead on the inside tells you a lot. He was a real nigga
That usually happens later on, in higher cultivation novels. Grasping Evil for example has an arc like that.
You need to return to the basics, and go back to comprehending life as a mortal to ascend further.
I'm really bored at work so something i eat slop. At the moment i'm readingTales of Demons and Gods.
higher cultivation stages
I don't know why I wrote novels lmao
It is wuxia
Now is cultivation genre just xianxia or is it the combination of both xianxia and wuxia, that depends on the person you ask
Wuxia = low level warrior
Xianxia = high level wizard
Eh, sorcery can still exist in wuxia its just less 'I NUKE PLANETS' and more 'I crafted this specific ritualistic diagram to harvest the blood of virgins into my spell'
Grue's second trigger event was completely contrived
alright we're using these mannequins to swap people out with trickster easily while fighting s9
ok cool
alright shatter bird is flying at us, jump off the building grue
now I swap the two...perfect, we've got shatterbird
can't you just swap grue back with a spare mannequin or something
uh whoops, didn't plan this far ahead, gotta leave him i guess
x thousand words later
O MY INFINITE POWER-STEALING DARKNESS
Like I can suspend my disbelief for a lot, but this entire scenario was so extremely contrived just so grue got captured. What, they couldn't have used one less mannequin as explosive bait or something? The dogs just happened to be at capacity and they also didn't think this far ahead despite it being their plan the whole time to capture shatterbird?
Is it the one with the yandere blonde feMC?
It is popular the same reason demon slayer is popular
The animation for its donghua is good, the source material is shit but bearable
That's not cultivation. It and Lost Souls are Chinese shonen. And by shonen, I mean the shonen jump kind because you can slap Yuji and Gojo into these games, and they'd fit right in.
I feel like I've read or tried out every xianxia novel out there. I miss the simpler times when I always had something to read
strategy
That's why. We want to throw hands with the jade beauties not watch minifigures from a bird's eye perspective.
It is wuxia actually
There is always something to read bro. When I really can't find anything to read, I just go to Chinese sites and look through them. There is thousands of stuff that hasn't gotten even it's title translated.
Other than that, when I really can't find anything Chinese to write, I go for Korean stuff and vice versa. I barely touch japanese novels anymore honestly.
That's based.
Only one I remember being good is Reikenzan
It's probably xuanhuan from the look of it
No you dont
One thing I notice is that non-chink readers actually prefer slop xianxia compare to actually good but slow paced ones like JianLai or Dao of bizarre immortal
Wuxia is terrible.
Worse than isekai.
Good thing most of novels nowadays are xianxia novels instead of wuxia
path of kung fu came out of early access recently and seems ok, anyone played it? it says it has an english MTL translation and they're working on a "proper" translation.
Wish jap novel MCs were less universal pussies
Now that I think about it, they all have their flavor on what makes a "relatable" MC, or at least what the local populace wants out of a power fantasy
chinese MC = psychopath that kills anyone who wrongs him
korean MC = dirt poor retard games to become billionaire
japanese MC = has girls throw themselves at him but he's too respectful to do anything
This thread is great, it's a real shame we don't have a general anywhere to discuss stuff like this in a regular basis. Closest thing to this is the /Isekai/ thread in Anon Babble. But it constantly gets flooded with japanese only schizos and shitty doodles.
It's great because it's not a regular thing
If we had a general I assure you it'd get as bad as anything else real quick
Soon bros. Please be good!
The game will be an MMORPG I think.
Source? Either way Paragon.
I notice there are 3 new novels trending recently: Eternal Tale, I Shall Be Everlasting In the World of Immortals, The Mirror Legacy
Is it as good as My Longevity Simulation? I only heard The Mirror Legacy is suffer porn like dao of bizarre immortal
I'm probably the Whitest person in this thread
It's still a real shame. Just from this thread alone I added a ton of good reads in my backlog.
Wear a green hat
kys chankoro scum
Not going to lie, I have glossed over a ton of novels just because they have something like this as their cover.
They really need to try to be a bit more unique
We need another Kung Fu based game. I played the hell out of Jade Empire.
Is longevity simulator the one where the motherfucker never goes or does anything, merely using simulator all the time?
Isekai is just a force multiplier for how shit a book's genre already is.
tourist here. What is this?
I Got Isekai'd Into A World Of Cultivation But I Have A System!?
They ever make levels in harvest or gathering or whatever, matter?
sauce
Hearsay from reddit
The entire point of the hulk is Bruce's struggle controlling his powers and anger.
Him turning into the Hulk was a curse, not a blessing.
Villain/demonic ones are generally fun.
But there aren't really many "good" xianxia. It's bottom tier web fiction for the most part.
Some parody series are okay, I suppose. But inevitably they either get too stupid or they turn into action series instead.
Limbus Company/Project Moon games. Its a bit of a rabbit hole but imagine a cyberpunk setting with wuxia and SCP elements.
He sacrifices the whole world multiple times to advance his realm, but he generally avoid fights
Fucking Yahweh.
I watched the first season of A will Eternal and I am seriously not impressed.
The novel is a million times better wtf
Most WNs don't translate well into animation
Like I love the Re:zero WN but the anime for me is unwatchable.
RMJI and BTTH donghua are better than the novels
It is only the case where the source materials are shit, so the donghua director just cut off most of no fighting scenes and lengthen all fighting scenes.
Some other slops like against the gods, marial god asura, nine star hegemon body arts, tales of demons and gods,... probably will have better donghua than novel too
muh emotions
just meditate/cultivate. Its just one aspect of cultivation novels btw even anakin had to go through that. Nothing special
Re:zero
the anime for that was so shit I can't imagine the novel being any better
A will Eternal donghua
pros: not a 3d cgslop
cons: i cant read
tldr: fk u i like it
