Zhao Ci in a Chaotic World

Fantasy Cultivation with Intelligent Characters. Don't Just Start by Using Spiritual Sense

The protagonist needs to have some brains too. Anyone knows not to flaunt a huge pile of spirit stones. Is that too much to ask? Are there really no good books out there? They're all decent for the first few chapters, then both the author and the protagonist lose their minds.

Please, I'm Begging for Books with Powerful Prose and Vivid, Immersive Settings

Are there any stories where the protagonist moves among countless admirers without getting attached to anyone? They flirt all the time but keep things within bounds, and in the end there's no CP. Do books like that really exist? Please, please, please. Any gender is fine. (Also, is this considered a dealbreaker? If nobody writes one, I might!)

Any Good Female-Dominated Cultivation Stories?

Does Tomato Novel have hardly any stories like this?

Any Stories Where the Main Couple Doesn't Get Together Until Later?

The will-they-won't-they stage is more interesting. Once they get together, the story isn't as good.

Fantasy for People With Brains. Brain-dead Mortals, Get Lost
