Hi there! I’m looking for a CN cultivation novel with a MC that crafts and makes money by doing so, not someone who delegates the work but someone who crafts by himself. It can be alchemy, formations, blacksmithing or w/e but it has to happen regularly, not once every 100 chapters and if it doesn’t happen within the first 100 chapters it is also disqualified. World of Cultivation was great but I didn’t like how it slowly shifted away from the crafting, it didn’t really disappear but the later chapters felt markedly more like other CN power up novels. I’d prefer a male MC but I don’t mind a female MC if there’s no romance. If you have any good novels that fit my request but isn’t CN feel free to recommend them with a little note stating what kind it is(JP, KR, Western or w/e). No yaoi or shounen ai please. Thank you for taking the time to read and hopefully respond Edit: Sorry, forgot to mention this Only completed or ongoing novels please, thank you very much
"Everybody Else is a Returnee" might be a good fit, the MC crafts items frequently and plays a significant role in the story. The story isn't exactly cultivation or LitRPG though
Bad recommendation. Look at this review : Spoiler: Review It's a poorly written Gary Stu story. I know several people have said that the MC gets better with time, and that's true. But it's the kind of "gets better" that takes him from -10 billion to -10 thousand. Sure, it's a dramatic improvement, but he's still subhuman. If you care about the protagonist that everyone worships like a god not being an a**hole, then you will definitely hate this series. If you hate strong, independent, world-shatteringly beautiful women abandoning their ability to think or act rationally simply because they've had brief contact with the MC, then you'll also hate this series. If you love poorly written power fantasies about people with no redeeming qualities getting rich, powerful and popular with minimal effort, then you'll absolutely love this series. Personally, I regret ever having read any of it.
