Authors Nowadays Can't Write Unless There's Showing Off and Face-Slapping, or Someone Getting Mocked
Please, no brain-dead protagonists. I just want someone normal with at least a little common sense.
Traditional Fantasy Needs Attention Too, Not Just a Million-Word Solo Act!
Traditional fantasy has been part of so many people’s youth, but times have changed. It’s incredibly hard to write a million words solo and make it big now. Platforms don’t give traditional fantasy any traffic support, so I want to start a thread for new books. Post your original new novels here so readers looking for this kind of book can find them.
Any Novels with Cultivation Stages Like Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Separation, Body Integration, Tribulation Transcendence, and Mahayana?
I hope everyone will actively recommend some books.

Novels With Vast Worlds, Undercurrents Between Factions, and Racial Rivalries

Traditional Fantasy, Come Recommend Some Good Ones
Looking for traditional fantasy. Nothing where the protagonist is constantly humiliated and looked down on. Ideally, there’s an old master figure.
Traditional Xuanhuan Is So Hard to Find!
It’s a proper fantasy novel, but nobody reads it. Even after it’s recommended, it gets no clicks. It’s so hard. As a fantasy author, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong! Could someone give me some advice?!
Break Free from Narrow Thinking, Broaden the Scope, and Give the Story a Vast, Inclusive Worldview
I’m looking for books like Transcendence Begins with Chaos. This is the only kind of primordial-world story that interests me. Don’t be bound by tradition. Does it really have to be only three thousand gods and demons from the start? Why couldn’t they be the last three thousand survivors, raised by the Great Dao through some ancient method? For example, the first...
The Way of Spiritual Roots Is Ultimately a Minor Path; Traditional Cultivation Alone Leads to the Great Way

The writing is excellent; many fight scenes unfold in my mind step by step through the descriptions, making me feel as if I were there. I initially thought it was a traditional cultivation novel, but as I read on, I discovered many innovative aspects. The author meticulously described the necessary items for each stage of cultivation, including demon cores, sects, and many other details.
This book is a compilation of fragments from many dreams over the past decade. These fragments became the outline of this book. I'm already very satisfied with myself for having the courage to express the story. My personal favorite parts are the sections on the Realm of Punishment and the Realm of Spirits. You could say that this book is entirely centered around these two worlds.
I finally found a decent cultivation novel, but it's not finished! Wow, this dream is so fantastical, so intricately connected. Could you tell me what kind of dream this is, and how it can be so continuous? Did you secretly go to a parallel world and come back? Unexpected changes often happen suddenly, and what you want to protect may not be able to be protected.
Holy crap, I actually read an entire fantasy novel, over 400,000 words long and still being serialized, without missing a single word, and even at the end I still felt like I hadn't had enough. It must be said that the author's imagination is truly boundless and admirable. I thought it would be similar to "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality," but it turns out to be even better.
After reading this book, I can only say that the protagonist is completely different from the one I had imagined. At first glance, I always hope that the protagonist can improve more quickly, which is an old habit I developed from reading similar books.
The plot is well-structured, progresses quickly, and doesn't drag; the characters are rich, distinct, and vivid; the world-building is clear and grand; the writing style is simple, vivid, and detailed; there are many suspenseful elements, making it highly readable; it's an excellent work worthy of in-depth reading.
I absolutely love this passage: "The ancestral medicine god's wondrous treasure has finally been obtained by our Divine Medicine Valley. Truly, heaven is on our side! From this day forward, this young friend is an honored guest of our Divine Medicine Valley. Whenever this young friend has a request, Divine Medicine Valley will go through fire and water, even at the cost of our lives!"
This is a unique and distinctive work of cultivation fiction, revealing the author's ingenuity and hard work between the lines. We look forward to this work achieving great fame and shining brightly in the future.
The heavily guarded Nianmu Sect, as the number one sect on the Tianyan Continent, holds an extraordinary position. However, Li Mu, at the Divine Emperor realm, moved with impunity, opening all the hidden formations. For a time, the Nianmu Sect was on high alert. The description is so realistic and touching, I absolutely love it!
The author's writing is excellent, the characters are vividly portrayed, and the plot is captivating. It's as if the author's pen has transported me to that fantastical world. Growing up alongside the male protagonist, experiencing so many joys and sorrows. You'll grow up eventually! Keep it up, author! You absolutely can't stop updating!
