    Tbh the moment you have classified those novels as good novels to read, I really have no idea to recommend you. As most of those novels are trash tier in my opinion, and literally anything is a good read compared to those.

    It maybe more helpful instead if you listed the genre of novels you want to read, and we give you recommendations based on it instead.

    Go read:
    My House of Horrors
    Saihate no Paladin
    Lord of the Mysteries
    Fremd Torturchen
    Hakomariiiiiiiiii
    The Grandmaster Strategist (if you can read through the important info dumps)
    And every single short story or one shot with above 4.5 ratings.

    I envy your innocence. I wish to read all the good shit for the first time and bask in newfound experiences. Now i'm just a picky prick with too high standards.

    Chinese cultivation novels have such a well-defined genre and concept that itself, writing it takes absolute minimum effort and still makes it entertaining, How much further better you can make a cultivation novel depends on how creative you can write from its usual cookie-cutter template. Most new readers who are first time to Xian Xia will definitely find these novels goods, as it has solid progression and a defined direction. As as you read more and more cultivation novels you start to realise that they're all the same, they're just reusing the same story concept over and over again.

    Eventually, you can just predict what will happen for the whole length of the cultivation novel, and it happens to be just a lot of power-ups, face slapping, unbelievable luck, shallow love interests, one-dimensional villains and a lot of other tropes that we all come to know sooner or later.

    You are actually correct in a sense that these novels are good for people not exposed to the genre long enough, but to most of the long-time reader who has read enough and confidently can say they have developed a far more mature taste for novels that has more depths and details in writing, we find these top novels shallow and lacking in many things.

    This is actually quite a long time argument we always had when it comes to high rating novel yet shallow writing, The only reason why they're in the top ranking is that they're easy to get into and read, making available to an extremely wide audience thus they actually get more readers and ratings.

    A similar way to understand it would be the equivalent of Fortnite being highly rated and game of the year for its sheer virtue of being extremely widespread and popular, its ranking wasn't reflected based on its gameplay quality and productions but due to the number of players who have not experienced enough other games to be able to judge it properly.

    Nay I mean long-time reader, which may come off as confusing. It means a person who has read a lot, not a person who reads novels with many chapters. We have read enough novels to be able to form a solid judgement regarding novels. Generally, long term cultivation novels are shit, they can't manage to keep up the quality for too many chapters but authors with good writing style manages to compensate for these flaws somewhat. I would recommend these even though some of them are not cultivation novels:

    Human Emperor
    Master of Untold Daos
    Monarch of Evernight
    Martial King's Retired Life
