The Mortal Path Begins in Humble Origins

The Pinnacle of Xuanhuan Cultivation

Highly recommend these invincible fantasy cultivation novels. Reading them three times is just the beginning!!!

Looking for a Highly Re-readable Novel That Doesn't Make Things Up As It Goes

Suddenly in the Mood for Cultivation Stories, the Kind Without a System

I'm out of books to read. Looking for something that holds up well.

Ten Pinnacle Novels in the Mortal Cultivation Genre

A recommendation from a twelve-year veteran bookworm. Every one of these has something special: *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality*, *Renegade Immortal*, *Striving for the Dao*, *Hundred Refinements to Immortality*, *Bright Jade True Immortal*, *The Road to Immortality*, *The Path of Immortal Cultivation*, *Seeking the Immortal Way*, and *The Fate-Extinguishing Record*.

Looking for Smart Cultivation Novels. I’m Sick of Stupid Stories

Mortal-Style Cultivation, For Discerning Veteran Readers

No mindless plots. The protagonist and villains should both be smart, and the story shouldn’t have forced, cringey hype.

The Purest, Most Authentic Mortal Cultivation Novel: The Peak of the Xuanhuan Genre

A true mortal-cultivator story, with a smooth plot, stirring action, both iron resolve and tenderness, and constant suspense. Open the door to a vast and magnificent fantasy world... Every character is crafted with care, and the peerless cultivation techniques will shake the ages. A must-read for all you experts...

Traditional Fantasy Cultivation, No Mindless Wish Fulfillment!!!

The protagonist should be smart and not a self-sacrificing do-gooder. No harem! Other talented supporting characters should keep pace with the protagonist's growth. They should be both rivals and friends, with strong bonds. Don't have the protagonist stupidly leave everyone behind!

Traditional Xuanhuan, No System Stories

“Why Cultivate Immortality?” “To Live Free and Unfettered.”

Looking for Stories With a Similar Approach to A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality

After finishing A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, other cultivation novels feel a bit too contrived. It's easy to guess where the plot is going: the protagonist meets a powerful foe and either 1) hides his true abilities, 2) turns the tables just before dying, 3) lets his enemies fight each other and then swoops in to reap the rewards, or 4) gets taken on as a disciple by some old man.

Traditional Xuanhuan, I'm in a Reading Slump

The key thing is, no harem. I want the protagonist to always have a brother by his side who's growing along with him.

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.

Sword Cultivators, the Way of the Sword, Sword Intent, Traditional Fantasy!

Recommend a few books, please. I haven’t had anything to read in ages.

I'm in a Reading Slump! Looking for Traditional Fantasy with Excellent Prose and No System

Desperately Seeking Underrated Cultivation Novels

I want to read books like The Junior Sister Is Shameless and Sinister, Yet Her Sect Treats Her Like a Treasure. I refuse to accept recommendations for this book. Recommend it again and I’ll block you! Please look at what I’m saying with your own eyes! Also, are there any lesser-known completed cultivation novels with a female protagonist? Romance is optional. My requirements are...

Looking for a More Traditional Cultivation Novel, Like Those Fantasy Comics from Years Ago

No System stories or overpowered protagonists. It’s fine if the protagonist has a divine artifact or an old-timer living in a keepsake, and preferably it’s a long one.

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.
