    Okay, over here, I will be maintaining a list of titles of those Chinese novels without racism and nationalistic crap in them. I really would like to have a list of such novels so that readers like myself can enjoy the World of Cultivation without having to deal with dumb propaganda shit.

    However, because I don't want to exclude 99.99% of Chinese novels out there, let's have a few guidelines in place. So if the majority of the novel's super-powered families or characters all have Chinese names, let's live with that. If the protagonist happens to think that Chinese cuisine is far more delicious than French food, let's live with that. And I am also fine with novels where the few foreigners who appear all play supporting roles.

    What I want to exclude from this list are novels where almost all the Japanese/Korean/American characters are evil bastards out to destroy Chinese civilization. Or where they appear for no good reason other than to give a hate speech about the Chinese. Or where women of a particular race (Japanese) somehow deserve to be raped just because of what happened during WW2.

    Please continue to offer your recommendations for this list. I will keep updating the list here based on the recommendations coming in, and categorize them according to their genres.

    You my friend are in luck. I just started translating this and this is the perfect thing you're looking for. A perfect blend of super high-end sci-fi and super high end Magic

    Well there is nationalism. But it isn't the type you're thinking of its feet "for the Empire" type nationalism.
    You know the fun Warhammer type nationalism

    Are you looking for stories situated in China or written by Chinese authors?
    If it is the former I think it is hard to find any, if it is the latter: novels by Er Gen seem to be free of nationalism or propaganda as well as the always recommendable Library of Heaven’s Path.

    The Amber Sword(fantasy) -though the recent chaps have a bit racism towards a tribe that have the blood of both lycan and elves, the MC don't give a F@#$ what the others say and still helps them though.

    I am fine with either.

    As for stories situated in China that's free from racism, I managed to find one. Gate of Revelation written by Dancing. I am going to actively support him now.

    I am fine with cultural pride. I only get mad when they start dragging in and demonizing characters of foreign persuasion (like Japanese, Americans, Koreans or Chinese) for no good reason.
