The Sword-Banishing Chronicles

Wuxia Novels

Looking for books like Auspicious Lotus Tower, the original novel for the series starring Cheng Yi. Are there any where the male lead used to be incredibly powerful, but for various reasons took on a secret identity? Ideally, when his secret identity is exposed, everyone is shocked.

Wuxia! Wuxia! No Stories That Eventually Turn Into Cultivation Novels

A Complete Collection of Jin Yong’s Novels

Wuxia Novels

Looking for wuxia novels, preferably with a protagonist who has some fantasy-style abilities.

Wuxia Stories, But No Leveling Up, Robbery, or Treasure-Filled Secret Realms

I’m not really into those stories where the protagonist shows off, wins through face-slapping, and gets some super-rare treasure. No System stories either.

Recommend Some Wuxia Novels

Looking for wuxia novels without cultivation ranks. Please recommend some! I really dislike wuxia stories with realms like early, middle, late, perfection, and half-step stages.

Any Martial Arts Novels?

One where the protagonist mainly uses the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms.

Classic Wuxia Only: No System, No Cultivation

Looking for books similar to *The Crane's Song Reaches the Ninth Heaven*.

Martial Arts, the Jianghu, and the Imperial Court

A noble heir with strategy and influence, not a brainless one.

Recommend Books with Solid Writing, Logical Plots, and Smart Characters

Those of you who call everything a masterpiece, rave about it, and say things like, “The beginning is so-so, but it gets good later,” while using ridiculous exaggerations, please stop. Seriously, nine out of ten books you people recommend are so cringe-inducing they make my toes curl and could furnish a two-bedroom apartment.
