A Martial World Without Swords

The Martial World, the Imperial Court, and Wuxia

Give me some good ones.

A Legendary Martial Arts Novel

They Say Wuxia Is Dead

They say wuxia is dead. Without a sense of chivalry, all that's left is a dark forest.

Wuxia, the Martial World, and the Imperial Court

There shouldn't be one absolute protagonist. Everyone has their own story. I don't want a story that revolves around one person the whole time. The villains should be strategic, and the plot logic shouldn't fall apart.

Jianghu Stories with Martial Arts Schools, and Maybe a Little Court Politics

Wuxia, Court Politics, Military, Scheming, and Great Writing

Novels like Sword Snow Stride and Hidden Beauty.

Looking for Purely Classical Martial Arts Stories, No Fantasy or Cultivation

I want a genuine wuxia novel, with no cultivation immortals or overpowered martial arts. A System or a golden finger is fine, either way. I’m looking for the kind where being able to lift a thousand jin makes you incredibly powerful. Nothing too ridiculous. A little over-the-top martial arts is okay, just not so extreme that people can dodge bullets.

Looking for Wuxia Novels with Rankings of the Strongest Fighters

Novels with rankings for martial artists, like the top ten experts or a ranked list of weapons

There Has Been No Martial Arts Fiction Since Jin Yong. Change My Mind

Looking for Martial Arts, Not Immortal Cultivation. Any Recommendations?

Something I can keep reading nonstop.

Looking for Wuxia Stories Set in the Jianghu, with Great Prose and a Good Plot, No Romance

I want good writing and a good plot. I just can’t stand wuxia stories that are all about romance. That’s not the jianghu Gu Long and Jin Yong gave me!!!

Looking for High-Quality Martial Arts Jianghu Novels

Thank you, fellow cultivators.

Any Good Wuxia Stories?

I want a protagonist who's wild, free-spirited, and charming, with any level of power, but not part of a sect. Just please, no harem.

Wuxia Novels

Are there any set in a comprehensive martial arts world, or with a wuxia System?

Wuxia Jianghu

Good male-oriented fiction

I Found a Classic Wuxia Novel

Carefree Jianghu Adventures, Wuxia, No Jin Yong or Gu Long

Sword-Wielding Protagonists: No Sword of Coming, Misty Rain Tower, or Sword Bone

A Lone Young Swordsman Roams the Martial World, Seeing All Life Has to Offer, Seeking Only Peace of Mind

Traditional Xuanhuan Cultivation Novels

What Can Surpass Sword Rising in the Wind and Chang'an in Books and Swords?

Please don't make things up. I mean novels with the same kind of hype as "The First Sword Under Heaven".

Wuxia, Demonic Cult and Arts, White-Haired Gongzi Yu

Could the experts recommend some wuxia novels with a white-haired protagonist who practices demonic martial arts?

Any Good Xuanhuan Novels Without Mindless Showing Off or Brain-Dead Characters?

Anyone who clicks in won't be disappointed. Share your reading lists so we can recommend great books to each other.

Any Novels About Wuxia, Swordsmanship, Court Politics, or Fantasy?

Ideally something like Yuan Zun. Court and palace stories should preferably be aimed at female readers, while the other genres should preferably be aimed at male readers.
