I tried reading a few cultivation novels and honestly found most of the writing incomprehensible. Those cgi animations from China are even worse. I don't understand how someone who isn't Chinese could possibly enjoy any of it. There isn't any form of storytelling I can recognize. Random shit just happens and people with stupid titles they gave themselves shout nonsense at each other while glowing. What the fuck is the appeal?

>>98051989What exactly makes Dadspace pedophilic?
>>98051538Unironically play DnD or Pathfinder or somethign of the like, with levels as a real in-setting thing, and with xp replaces with pills and access to places of power and other cultivation resources as well as the downtime to actually spend time cultivating. Throw in extensions to lifespan at levels of your choice, and the end result will be, well, not perfect, but a pretty good match for cultivation fiction. Brokenness of DnD 3.5 or Pathfinder 1E might be a good thing here.>>98052328The cultivation novels I've read have had comprehensible writing and an obvious story going on. Even I Shall Seal the Heavens, which has a copypasta making fun of it being posted every time cultivation genre's discussed on /tg/, not only has a clear story, but it's obviously a story planned out in advance rather than pulled from the writer's ass as he goes. The problem with these novels, in my experience, is, first of all, that they tend to have an absolutely obscene amount of filler, and secondly, that they tend to make the main character the kind of a Mary Sue that most Western writers would be embarrassed to write. These reasons have made me drop every novel in the genre I've started, though I've read some of them several hundred chapters deep before doing so. These books are often pretty good before the MC becomes completely overpowered, even with the filler, but at some point they tend to devolve into just shamelessly wanking the MC. The appeal's largely in power fantasy, of course.I've actually enjoyed a couple of Western cultivation quests inspired by the Chinese works but written with more Western sensibilities and for a Western audience more than any of the "proper", published, Chinese novels I've tried.
>>98052328The best ones have an initially tight storyline, but eventually they all devolve into a senseless power fantasy.In the genre, there's no sense of having told a story and being done, the only ending there can be is death or some bullshit reincarnation that starts a new story, ofc that's unsatisfying, but the good parts can be good while they last.
>>98052791I wonder whether the reason for that is some kind of s cultural difference in storytelling or just writers and publishers having financial incentive to keep their serialized webnovels going as long as possible.
>>98051538A monk told me to master the tools of cultivation before facing him, so I killed him with a pitchfork.
>>98051538Ah, yes, spam with slop. We have less puckee now, but just wait.
>>98052749Is it the McDonald's one?
>>98052958Yeah, that's the one. There's also another one that's just chapter titles from the novel listed, with a lot of chapters being just like "reaching stage 5 of Qi Condensation" and such, with the implication being that reaching new power levels is all there is to the story - which is not quite true, though not really an undeserved way to characterize the novel, either, as there definitely are a lot of filler chapters where the protahonist just eats pills in a very determined fashion while trying to break through to the next stage. The McDonalds one is a lot better and funnier, though.
>>98053045>chapters where the protahonist just eats pills in a very determined fashion while trying to break through to the next stage.Ah, finals prep.
>>98052328The problem is that cultivation novels hit the Chinese web communities like Isekai novels hit Japan's. China's also got way more people, which means way more talentless, trend-chasing idiots spewing out garbage, so on average you're going to find 5000 terrible cultivation stories for every mediocre or passable one. The cultural and language barrier also means you're never quite sure if you're reading the Chinese equivalent of Sonichu or whatever.
>>98052749>Unironically play DnD or Pathfinder or somethign of the like, with levels as a real in-setting thingI feel like we've had this conversation before and it needs to be said again that "having levels" is not enough to evoke the cultivation genre.
>>98051538You could play any Martial Arts centred game and implement training times and rolls tied to spending it they already have.
>>98053600Naturally, references to Daoism and Chinese stock phrases are needed too.
>>98052958I always liked this one.
