    I swear to god every cultivation novel I've read so far has that bullshit "oh no the device plot guy #21 is on bullshit cultivation level 6 so even if 10 of us of bullshit cultivation level 5 combined our forces we couldn't defeat him"

    Martial World, the second half.
    Plenty of geniuses other than the MC who can cross level gaps. And it's something to be cautious of.

    I found Desolate era to be pretty good in that regard.

    That's what the entire trope has become these days, and then along comes the MC who wins the fight with a lower cultivation because of X, Y & Z. Most of the time X,Y & Z are things most other cultivators should have too (if they are at that level)

    That's kind of the point of cultivation isn't it? If you can't stomp a bunch of guys a realm lower then what's the point?

    If you don't like that, change genre. Not an insult; xianxia is traditional daoist cultivation, xianhuan is hybrid fantasy (non daoist or western themes), wuxia is jianghao (non cultivation) usually historical themed. You still have reincarnation, transmigration, virtual, etc.

    There is also josei type of genre (there is a cn term for it, but josei far more known), which is just female authors. Most of which are decent, and not all are just romance or fujoshi bait. My disciple died yet again, is a good example.

    Cultivation Chat Group acts a bit like a satire on cultivation, while being a serious but well written comedy.

    Martial arts master, it doesn't explain much just early middle peak, but it has ranking power for fighters from amateur fighter 9-1, professional fighter 9-1. Done
    Level was
    Amateur 9- professional 9 was body building
    8-6 professional fighter was Dan realm
    5-3 professional fighter was inhuman realm
    2-1 was physical vulnerable realm

    Then why dafuq would they strive for a higher level of cultivation? If 10 level 1 cultivators could stand against a level 10 cultivator then who would waste their time cultivating to the peak?

    Cultivation is a exponential growth, it's not 1+1=2. I don't even think that this is a trope tbh, DnD stats are also like this.
