    I'm tired of these xianxia where every female character the MC interacts with just so happens to be a 'heaven defying beauty'. And these authors never bother to give the actual appearance of a woman either, when a female character is introduced I want to know hair style, hair color, eye color, etc. but instead all I get is, "female character X is beautiful but not as beautiful as female character Y" like how the hell am I supposed to figure out wtf she looks like from the author's idea of 'beauty' not to mention that the fucking ranking system for beauty in these novels goes:

    '0', . . . '∞ - 1', '∞', '∞ + 1'

    Where you're either hellishly ugly or a heaven defying beauty

    And the author never misses a chance to remind you how beautiful they are! I'm trying to read AGM and this came up:

    "However, for women of Mo Qingcheng’s beauty, one has to say that even when she was jealous, that angered countenance was also extremely mesmerizing to the extent where even Ye Lingshuang (female) who was at the side, became dumbstruck as she watched on."

    You see this! The sight of a heaven defying beauty being angry is beautiful enough to turn a woman lesbian! I swear on my life that if a heaven defying beauty shit herself that shit would smell like fucking roses.

    I'm done with it! Can anyone suggest me a good xianxia that isn't like this!? (I'll add a pole just cuz)

    Mate. I can feel ya. But most of the time. They don't give Any description abt Gals, and when they do. Its their peerless rate or jade like skin or their busts.

    A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

    At least thus far there has been very few reference's to beautiful women, and even then the MC doesn't care

    You try describing something you've never seen before and then you can complain. I mean it's not like the author is gonna compare cultivators to regular people like "She was beautiful but only because of the layers of make-up"

    History Number 1 founder the mc never finds a lover anything, and if there is a one or two beautiful women they only mention it for a sentence or two.

    Besides whats more of a confusing is, how is a beauty suppose to destroy a country / kingdom. I wonder what kind of ranking is this, that decides the level of a beauty. (from emperors domination, was thinking of saying ED, but nvm this gave me a goosebumps)

    So jade white skin, rosy lips, and voluptuous body not good for you anymore? Now you want to know their hair, eyes, and nose? What next? You want to know about their arms and legs?

    Read "World of Cultivation"

    The MC does not know what is beauty, and thinks any type of attraction that he feels is a spell trick hahaha.

    IET likes to talk about aura and disposition instead in his stories.

    Maybe try those if you haven't... but you probably have.

    "You try describing something you've never seen before"

    She had blue eyes and short, black hair. Was that so hard?

    I remember reading this one Japanese Harem, that spent a quarter chapter on describing how the woman look, including her outfit.
    Then, the slice of life kept describing how her hair was different and what she wore every new day....
    Guess what?
    Pretty soon I got really annoyed at that too

    Actually that is quite easy to answer; see Helen of Troy for how a beautiful woman can be the cause of a country's destruction.
