Cultivation Fantasy (Mostly Mortal's Journey)
Beginning with the immortal dream of Dusty Fate, carried forward by Stellar Transformation, turning with A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, and coming together in the mortal cultivation genre. I only read cultivation novels! I read both male-oriented and female-oriented fiction! I especially love mortal cultivation stories!

Novels Still Need Great Plots ♑️ The Sun, Moon, and Stars ✨ To Enjoy Together 🥂
After being in the rabbit hole for many years, all I ask of a novel now is: 🥑 It has to be enjoyable. 🍒 The setting can be anything. 🥝 A romance plot is optional. 🍋 The plot matters most. 🥥 Simple, clear prose is enough. Of course, authors who carefully choose their words and construct their sentences are even more appealing. 🍑 Every book on this list was carefully read and followed before being added.

[Mostly Female-Oriented] Fun, Feel-Good, and Satisfying Xianxia Reads
The books on this list either have great plots, excellent writing, or are especially satisfying, with the protagonist crushing everyone in their path! I don't like stories that read like a diary, especially boring ones that make me lose interest. Some books I like may be amateurish, sure, but if the plot is fun, they're worth a read. Of course, my recommendations are all based on my personal taste. I also can't stand pretentious writing. The plot is mediocre, but the author piles on fancy words

⸜( ⌓̈ )⸝ Female-Oriented Xianxia: So Sleepy Every Day
Cultivation fantasy picks in their early stages ⸜( ⌓̈ )⸝ My personal dealbreakers: romance (most of it), several lifetimes of love and so on. I generally prefer plot-driven stories with no romance. I don't like formulaic plots or melodrama. That's about it. Some recent finds. I'm studying for the graduate school entrance exams, so finding new stories and recommending early-stage ones is all by chance. I haven't had time to catch up on most of them.

A Collection of Strong Female Lead Novels
There are too many books, and I can't fit them all here, so I'll put some in the description or under the recommendations. Mostly books without a male lead. If they're not on Qidian, they're from somewhere else. Updates are irregular because I'm terminally lazy. There are also recommendations in the comments, but my tastes are unpredictable, so I rarely add them to the list. Feel free to check them out yourself if you're interested!

No Male Lead, but Plenty of Brains
I’m tired of romance stories pretending to have strong female leads. As soon as the romance starts, the characters fall apart and the plot can stop making sense. Stories without a male lead are less likely to insult the reader’s intelligence. I add new books and clear out the list from time to time. Recommended: I Want to Become Empress. Who’s Against It?
A Veteran Bookworm's Female Cultivation Reading List
After years of reading, I've read quite a few female-led cultivation stories where the heroines focus on their path to immortality instead of romance. I can't stand stories where the heroine loses all reason the moment she meets the male lead, or fluffy romance novels dressed up as cultivation stories. You can rest assured there are absolutely no books like that on this list. Come on in! P.S. I feel bad that most of my recommendations are either new or on hiatus. So much for saying you can rea
Joy in Life, Nothing Owed in Death: No-Romance Novels
After reading for many years and trying many different genres, I eventually became obsessed with novels without romance. Some people say I am young and unaware of sorrow, yet insist on calling it unforgettable love. Perhaps they are right. Maybe that is why I feel that having no romance really means having no troubles. ... The world of fiction is impossible to imagine. I still remember that the first novel I ever read was a fantasy story that pioneered the cultivation of alchemy, leaving me f

I just browsed the book circle, and I just want to say that fortunately I read it in one go without reading the comments, otherwise I would have missed such a good book. I have read no less than a hundred books this year, but this is the only book that allowed me to read it from beginning to end. Some people say that the higher-level parts at the end are dull and not as exciting as the first part. On the contrary, I really like the second half, because In order to reach a high level, most ascetics pay more attention to cultivating their minds and begin to understand the laws of space and time. The author uses a lot of words to describe all the changes in Zixuan's state of mind and insights from the low level to the high level. It raises many questions worth thinking about, and then solves these problems one by one. The story starts from the weird Erya at the beginning to Gao Gao, who has nothing to do with himself. From the hanging He Miaomiao to the Zixuan who has the courage to shoulder the responsibilities of the family, whether it is physical strength, realm strength, or mental strength, it all comes naturally. Of course, the whole book is smooth and natural, without a single urination point, and the logic is smooth. It is a rare masterpiece among female protagonists. At least in my opinion, it is to my liking. Reading from the beginning , it seems that I have experienced a spiritual practice with the heroine, which is endlessly memorable. I am really happy to have finished reading this book in the last hour or so of 2019, and then I wrote this post-reading feeling. I think it can be a perfect ending. I hope that new book friends can savor this book with their heart and have their souls sublimated.
A grown man enjoys watching female videos
In the early stage, I felt that the writing was quite good, but later on, when I was almost in the Nascent Soul stage, I suddenly joined an organization that sells information. It was still the kind of thing where you couldn't quit, and you had to explain clearly what you were going to do. Isn't it just for freedom that you cultivate, but when you become strong, you sell yourself out, or you go in and work as a low-level junior for others. , Even if you want to get first-hand information, there is no need to sell yourself, and it's not like there are no top bosses in your family. Your elders tell you not to worry about these things, and that the most important thing is to work hard to improve your cultivation. As a result, the heroine has to know some things that she can't solve by herself, and she doesn't want to read about them later.
The thing that I can't stand the most is that the heroine has never used any other fire spells except strange fire since she got the strange fire. She even uses talismans to start a fire. I fully understand and support not exposing the strange fire easily, but the heroine has fire spiritual roots and fire spiritual power in her body. Can't she use the fire spiritual power to cast the simplest fire spells? For example, there are fireball spells and the like. There is even fire aura in the air. You can directly mobilize the fire aura in the air to cast a fireball spell. Why can't the heroine use other fire spells except strange fire?
In fact, the author's writing style is very good, why should I complain about him? Obviously he could finish it in two or three chapters, but he insisted on finishing it in five or six chapters. Since his writing is good, I won't talk about him, but have you ever seen someone who has written five or six hundred chapters and is still in the foundation building stage? After all, the heroine is a heroine. A little gold finger is okay, but this heroine's gold finger is not big. Who gave the author the courage to let the heroine kill the golden elixir stage in the foundation building stage? It's just a fluke, and it happens again and again! ! ! What kind of immortality is this? You might as well fly up to 90,000 miles.
The more I read this book, the more exciting it becomes. It shouldn't be so cold. Why is this? It shouldn't be because there is no male protagonist. Many cultivators without male protagonists are also very popular... I feel that the level is not much different.
I drew an overly heroic Zixuan based on my impression.
This painting is really not He Yanxin. Believe me (sweating The mark... Should be on the right eye, right (uneasy, it seems that the painting is too heroic). Later, I wanted to draw. Senior Xu and Quan Ling thought it would be better to draw the heroine before drawing other characters!
The previous dozens of chapters of Conferring Gods describe the dangers and calculations in the world of cultivating immortals. Even the best friends may betray them for their own interests! Not a holy lady, not a good person! Didn't you know that our style of painting changed later? Since the death of Quan Ling, the heroine's motherly heart, nosy heart, and self-righteousness all came out at once! Overestimating one's own abilities, I have died ten thousand times without the halo of the protagonist! The heroine is not practicing, but hanging around with a few friends! Later on, I got tired of looking at it, and there were so many people walking around.
After reading it so far, I feel that the best thing about this book is its broad layout and strong rationality. Looking at the author's description, it seems that there really is such a gorgeous and fantastic world, especially since different worlds have different languages and creatures, and even the original species will slowly mutate in other worlds. This setting is simply too reasonable. The shortcomings are that they are basically common to female channels, and the fighting scenes are not as exciting and fantastic as those in male channels. In the end, this is a book worth spending money on.
It's good for the first 200 chapters, but then it falls apart a bit. The heroine has become a holy mother. She is very generous to strangers and monks. She gives away all kinds of elixirs for free. Moreover, my cultivation level is extremely low, and I have to cross levels to kill enemies in the Dan Formation stage. There is no foolproof way to use others to set up traps, so I just rely on myself to kill them. It is really overestimating my capabilities.
