One of the Most Classic Mortal Cultivation Stories: Smart Characters and Well Worth a Read

Overlooked Masterpieces

Cultivation, fantasy, or historical fiction are all fine.

Looking for a High-Quality Fantasy Novel, Preferably as Good as Against the Gods

Any Novels Like Renegade Immortal or A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality?

My Five Favorite Historical Novels

Does Nobody Read Traditional Fantasy Anymore?

Looking for books like Hello, Longevity. Everything seems to start with the protagonist getting cheated on or betrayed, then turning evil. Are there any stories where the protagonist puts justice above all else?

Looking for High-Quality Wuxia and Cultivation Novels

Wuxia like Misty Tower, and cultivation like Mortal Bones. Nothing dumbed down, please.

Looking for Stories with Snake Wives, Fox Wives, or Ghost Wives. One Female Lead Only!

Looking for books like "Calculating Fate".

Looking for Traditional Fantasy Without a System

The protagonist reveals their talent in public and is fought over and valued by various factions. I want a story where they level up and move to new maps. Preferably no female lead. Wish-fulfillment and comeback stories are both fine. I've read too many System-based gimmick stories lately and want to return to classic Eastern fantasy.

Are Traditional Fantasy Stories a Thing of the Past?

Looking for books like "The Sword Stirs the Storms". Please recommend traditional fantasy novels. Has the genre really fallen out of favor?
