Wuxia with a Jianghu Setting and Beautiful Writing

Any Pure Wuxia Novels?

Any good martial arts stories? People hardly write wuxia these days. I miss it. Nowadays, everyone gets a System and cheats their way to immortality and godhood, with divine physiques and all that. I'm sick of it. It's so boring. I want to feel the thrill of roaming the world with a sword and settling scores with a sense of justice.

Classic Wuxia Novels

The martial world, tender romance, light-footed martial arts, suspense, and... swords!

Wuxia, the Imperial Court, and the Jianghu. Get It?

Martial arts and the jianghu.

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.

Good Wuxia Novels: No Brain-Dead Plots, No Making Characters Stupid, and No Playing the Pig to Eat the Tiger!

No playing the pig to eat the tiger! A System would be great, but no System is fine too. Cultivation novels are okay as well.

Something like "Sword Snow Stride" or "Sword of Coming".
