    So, I just finished "My Master Disconnected Yet Again" on webnovel (awesome novel BTW) and now o want something to replace it.
    My requirements are in the title. Additionally, I also would like:
    MC without a cheat (or at least it doesn't make the mc conceited. Take "My Master Disconnected Yet Again" and "daily life of the immortal king" as an example, the mc is super OP, doesn't think they're better than everyone else and starts to act like a d*ck (cough cough, Emperor's domination I'm looking at you cough cough) if you Rec a book with cheat mc)
    No heavy past or grudges or anything that would make the mc an edge Lord
    The supporting characters are paid much attention
    Guess that's nuff

    Believe me this one is different from the rest. No brain dead mobs or idiotic penis brain young master. No out of nowhere offend a sect,country,or realm.
    Fang Yuan our mc is an antihero or should i say he do everything for his benefits no righteousness bullshit or evil. here everyone act like their supposed to be. if his enemies is 500 years old then they will act like an old demon, sacrificing his clan, or anything.
    Well this is a true cultivation novel imo, eventhough its banned in china for its dark theme.

    Both are harem and not cultivation which contradicts with the requirements in the title tho

    I really want to recommend Strange Life of a Cat, sadly it is not a cultivation novel...

    Leaving my mark here to see recommendation based on The daily life of Immortal King~

    I will second both My Discipled Died Yet Again and Ascending, Do Not Disturb.
    Another one that I believe falls in your requirements is:
    Martial King’s Retired Life - The MC has decided that he doesn't want to inherit leadership of his sect, so he runs away to work as a city guard because it's less troublesome. I'm sure you can imagine how poorly this goes.

    If you don’t mind something not Chinese then look into Forge of Destiny on royal road. The world building and characterization are fantastic.

    I recommend Arrogant Young Master Template A Variation 4

    https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/28601/arrogant-young-master-template-a-variation-4

    The world building is light but consistent, MCs cheat requires him to have disciples that are in good terms with him so they get screentime and the story pokes fun at xianxia behaviors all over the place, its consistently hilarious and the MC swings between doing what a xianxia guy must do and bullshitting his way across the world by relying on his backing and quoting cool sentences left and right
