    Need some Chinese novels which are not Xianxia /wuxia. I mean to say that novel should be set in different world than Chinese, can be feudal system, western setting. Also the power system should also be different like knights, mages, or any.
    Some examples
    Abyss Domination (transmigrated to game world)
    The Amber Sword (transmigrated to game world)
    Tales of Reincarnated Lord (transmigration)
    Such novels.

    Summary on NU

    "I am a knight. To be precise, I am the Church of the God of Light’s Sun Knight.

    The Church of the God of Light worships and serves the God of Light, and theirs’ is one of the three largest religions on this continent.

    As the whole continent knows, the Church of the God of Light has the Twelve Holy Knights, and each one has his own unique personality and features.

    To be the Sun Knight is to have shining golden hair, sky blue eyes, a compassionate nature, and a brilliant smile.

    “The benevolent God of Light will forgive your sins.”

    I must have said that line at least a million times in my time as the Sun Knight.

    However, the greatest wish in my life is to be able to stand before the entire continent and roar, “Damn your ‘the whole continent knows’! This Sun Knight just doesn’t feel like smiling! I just don’t want to forgive these human tr*shes! I just want to pepper my sentences with ‘f***’!”

    Unfortunately, even to this day, I continue to wear a smile as I say, “The benevolent God of Light will forgive your sins.”

    Legend of Sun Knight +1.

    Also recommend the author's other series, such as Dominion's End and No Hero, which are similarly not a Chinese setting.

    Lord of The Mysteries
    Soul Land and its sequels.
    Throne of Magical Arcana
    Warlock of the Magus World
    The Wizard World

    The last 3 are about wizards/mages so just magic.
    The first is about investigations and supernatural things, people get power, MC just get a.tad delayed to get some.
    The second is Chinese and maybe the names too, but the system to grow in power is about spirit itens that represent the person and said spirit grow with the cultivator aka spirit master as called.in the novel. There is 3 sequels for the 1 book and they are related.

    Why is it banned? Does it have contrary views about China or mention the Three T's?

    Webnovel has plenty of them. Just don't look for Modern Day as there's heavy nationalism in those.
