Cipher Pol 9 posted:What is a cultivator novel? Basically a bunch of martial arts assholes fighting and stealing from each other so they can become immortal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xianxia_novel Also, they usually call the protagonist a really kind person despite them being a bloodthirsty psychopath. They justify this by showing them occasionally sparing the life of somebody who was a minor inconvenience to them. IShallRiseAgain fucked around with this message at 04:52 on Aug 19, 2018 |

LLSix posted:But those and the different kinds of paper making were the best part of Ascendance of a Bookworm. That stuff happens way less in chapter 2 and the plot lines that took its place are way worse. The food making stuff sucks though. Like the fact that the peasants are ignoring a perfectly viable food source. Even if it doesn't taste very good, somebody starving is going to eat it, and presumably try and find a way to make it more palatable.

The reason YGGDRASIL was being shut down in Overlord was that it was a lovely MMO that nobody played anymore. The only reason it was ever popular was because the players could basically customize everything.

Log Horizon has a whole bunch of people from all the over the world get teleported to another world. Also, despite everybody basically being immortal in Log Horizon, the story still manages to have actual stakes in it. The story is willing to switch perspectives from the MC. It also has a chinese gold farming bot that become self-aware. The author got in trouble for tax evasion which led to a long delay, but it looks he is finally releasing new stuff again.

Avulsion posted:Metaworld Chronicles is a pretty good english language isekai novel. A 30 year old asian-australian businesswoman wakes up as her teenage self in a parallel, modern magi-tech earth. The story starts off in Sydney but eventually moves to Shanghai and starts dealing with politics between paranoid communist wizards, scheming western mages and arrogant 21st century wuxia clans. I read it because somebody strongly recommended it and its actually really bad. The protagonist is a spoiled rotten Mary Sue. I had read the story up to the point where we are supposed to feel sympathy for her, because she is only getting a massive inheritance from one side of her family and she has to move out of a mansion into a luxurious apartment instead. This is a setting where most people live in absolutely horrible conditions. Nothing is actually a threat to her, not only is she super-powerful, she can summon a god like being when things get really tough. She never has to do anything clever because she can just murder everything. Everybody either completely loves her, or is an enemy. I must admit the setting has some potential for an interesting story, but the protagonist completely ruins it. Her being from another world also barely factors into the plot. Supposedly, the series leans into her being a psychopath at some point, but it must be really deep into it. I really should have dropped it earlier.

KOGAHAZAN!! posted:I forgot how goddamn short Cradle books are. I haven't so much read Underlord as inhaled it. My biggest complaint is that the Suriel Sub-plot is forever going to be in a holding pattern until Lindon and friends catch up to her. I don't particularly want the author to rush through the Cradle stuff either to get to it. Also, when Lindon and Friends eventually do get to her, it would've been far more interesting if the reader is just as blind about the situation as them.

LLSix posted:It's nice that Orthos is doing something good, but that whole plot just annoys me. Yerin and the Sword Sage savaged the Heaven's Glory School. They wounded all of their Jades to the point that they were too scared to fight Yerin or the Sword Sage remnant again. Yerin and Lindon killed at least 1 Jade. Basically all of the Irons were put in the hospital by Yerin. After being weakened so much the other schools in the Valley should have turn them apart and split the loot. Even if defending gave them enough of an edge to continue existing; they certainly shouldn't have had enough spare resources to gently caress up Wei clan. Especially since some of the sect members would have come from the Wei clan and might have fought with the Wei. The Wei Clan doesn't have any golds aside from Elder Whisper who is under some sort of restriction, and probably can't use his full power. Also, the sect must have some really powerful artifacts, if even their minor treasury has some really valuable stuff in it. Also, the sect only lost one of their golds.

Cynic Jester posted:Wow, Metaworld Chronicles is the most Xianxia english webnovel I've gotten through more than a couple of chapters of. It's competently written, but it has all the hallmarks of a typical CN Xianxia story. Super special MC who can't take a poo poo without making GBS threads on the Lost McGuffin of Plot forwarding. Everything revolves around said MC, with people changing all their priorities to either help or hinder depending on whether they're intended to be roadblocks or not. The MC waxing poetically about principles and morality while consistently being shown to have none when push comes to shove, often in the same chapter as she chides someone else for acting unprincipled. It's enjoyable in the exact same way Xianxia is enjoyable, but I feel sort of tricked. I'm used to my Xianxia coming as either a stilted translation or extremely poor writing. Or both. Wait until you get to the part where she whines about how she isn't getting two huge inheritances, but only one, and she is forced to live in a luxurious apartment instead of a mansion. This is a setting where a lot of people live in really horrible slums. (minor spoilers) IShallRiseAgain fucked around with this message at 02:25 on Nov 2, 2019 |

The official release is at webnovel(which is a really lovely site that both treats its authors like garbage, and does its best to nickel and dime its readers), any other site is either a rip from the official source, an old dropped fan translation, or a really bad machine translation. There is also a manga adaptation of the story.

Also, there was some really poor planning on the author's part because it briefly timeskips into the distance future, but then the author realizes he wants the events of the story to wrap up on a much shorter timeline. First half is good though.

Legendary Mechanic has the protagonist become a gun dealer, but then he uses the fact that the people he is selling guns to are also gun dealers to justify massacring them, and act like he is a good person for doing so.

It's gradually turned into the strange adventures of Lu Sheng plus he has a stable family he takes care of. Also he recently adopted an orphan girl in another dimension and he takes care of her too. People keep on recommending this, but I dropped it early on when he murdered his servants because they refused to stick around and get murdered by some unknown threat.

Kalas posted:In pretty much every one of these novels, good sects that nourish the MC will get wiped out tragically giving them a reason to go full murderhobo. Another possibility is that the protagonist will go full psychopath to protect a supposedly good sect. They will never question the protagonist's action aside from a little reluctance at the start, but will then treat them as their savior afterwards. Also, even though demonic sects are a common trope, often the only difference between them and regular sects is branding.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:i really love webnovels about time leaps which supposedly enable someone to deal with some inevitable crisis, but are actually about the author's seething rage from high school. this is my latest one, and the highlight is how the author is innately disdainful of effort and socializing but doesn't realize it. his mc is in a monster hunting academy, and his dream is to be a monster hunter because of the usual dead family. during his first run he didn't train, study or even go to class despite his abysmal natural talent, and dropped out at the end of the first year having accomplished nothing. so much for his dream! the author somehow thinks this is laudable rather than pathetic(??????). so naturally, after the time leap the mc now specifically never needs to work out ever again. Its especially funny when the protagonist is 1000s of years old, but somehow they still hold a massive grudge about something that happened in their teens/early 20s.

KOGAHAZAN!! posted:He’s apparently trialling a new writing strategy where he doesn’t preemptively cut anything before he’s written it. That does not to me sound like the wisest approach, and I’m sceptical that the quality is going to hold up, but it has apparently resulted in one chonker of a book. I just hope this doesn't mean more Suriel stuff, especially since the last book seemed to cut back on that. Although, I wonder if the book is so long because the last book kind of just awkwardly ended at an arbitrary point right before the climax of a plotline.

Just be warned that basically every Xianxia protagonist will at some point do something horrible and mass murder a group of people even though not everyone in the group deserves it in any way. I've read multiple novels where the protagonist is usually a pretty good guy, but they will be ok with genociding demons even after the story had already somewhat humanized them and shown that they aren't all completely evil. Also, XIanxia stories like to have things escalate way too much over minor conflicts, and a powerful organization goes into a full-out war because some random minor member got upset that the protagonist gave them a funny look.
