Has Traditional Fantasy Really Fallen Off? I Still Haven’t Found a Good One.
I'm tired of the new-style fantasy novels. I miss the old-fashioned, traditional kind. A golden finger is fine, but no System. Rebirth is fine, but no transmigration. Preferably no female lead or just one, and the protagonist should work hard on his own and ultimately succeed.
Has My Fantasy Genre Really Fallen Off?
Please recommend some high-quality fantasy novels. It's been ages since I've seen a great traditional Eastern fantasy novel. Save me from having nothing to read!
It's 2026, Guys! Recommend Something Worth Reading. I'm Desperate for a Good Book
Please Recommend Some Normal Fantasy Novels! No System
No reborn stories, System or golden finger stories! I want a book with a normal title! Don't recommend those same few books everyone keeps mentioning! I've already read them... Give me something normal! No bizarre opening setups... sign-ins...

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.
Classic, Engaging, No Idiotic Characters, No System, No Showing Off. Anything Else Goes
I don't want that kind of simplistic, amateurish novel.
Looking for Truly Good Books. No Immature Stories!
I've read too many books, and most lose me after a few chapters. The writing is so immature, as if it were written by a kid with only a middle-schooler's thinking skills. I want to read good books, truly good books!
Traditional Fantasy That Hooks You from the Start. I'm Done with Systems
Any High-Quality Traditional Eastern Fantasy?
Traditional Fantasy With a Genius Protagonist, No Mindless Plot
Traditional Xuanhuan, No System Stories
Traditional Eastern Xianxia Novels
At least three million words. Ideally, the cultivation levels should be Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Tribulation Transcendence, Great Ascension, and Immortal Ascension, followed by True Immortal and then godhood or something, with room to advance further.
Any Old-School, Traditional Eastern Fantasy Cultivation Novels for Female Readers?
Looking for something like I Get Caught Up in Internal Strife in the Cultivation World. Cultivation and fantasy novels these days feel pretty modern. I've read books with Ye Linglong, Lin Du, Qin Shu, and Sang Nian, and they were good, but I'm getting tired of that style. I'd like some traditional novels from a few years ago.

He was imprisoned in a cave, filled with fire, and eaten by poisonous insects, and almost died. Other Xianxia time travel systems come standard, but this book does not. The laws of heaven are unfair, the Immortal Sect is hypocritical, and three hundred years of blood debt burdens the whole body. Lin Yan's path was forged step by step. The revenge line + the life line are two parallel lines, with a full sense of Machiavellian atmosphere. Fans of fairy tales should not miss it!
This is a great book with the potential of the Oriental Fairy Tale. It tells the story of the protagonist Lin Yan who resumed his spiritual practice after sleeping for three hundred years. We look forward to more bizarre plot content in the future. Recommended for everyone to take a look!
It's very martial arts, very fairy-like, romantic, free and easy, and good-looking.
You can take a look, there's a little missing
The story may be a bit slow, but as the plot gradually unfolds, please savor it carefully. So your opinions are all good opinions to me. I will definitely consider them carefully and finish the story well.
