Well, at this point I don't remember all of them. I've read(And disliked) most of the wuxia and xianxia novels. After reading like 12 or so xianxia & wuxia novels, I've decided that: Hey, maybe I don't like cultivation! So, that happened. I'm just generally not a fan of how the protagonists in the novels I've read brute force their way through the problems. I know that LoTM and LTBE both have actual ways they get through the issues, which was one of the reasons I really loved ORV. Another thing was the pointless "training dummy characters", where some people existed simply for the MC to show off their newly gained abilities.
Well, it doesn't really matter to me if you do recommend xianxia/wuxia novels, at this point I'd just like it if the novels you've recommended were of a good quality.

In my opinion, Chinese Action Novels come in two to three types. The first is Original and Decent to Good, these are the Quality CN that those here are talking about, like Cultivation Chat Group. The second is Unoriginal and Repetitive, these are the Bad CN that many who don't like CN refer to, and make up a significant portion of Cultivation Novels. The optional "third" is Variant Power Fantasy Stories, where the MC either starts with, or has some guide to, untold & unlimited power and people can follow their OP MC. The third option is usually an attempt to write the first, but either falls flat (in my, personal, opinion) or ends up being written like the second due to time crunch. Oh, recommendations. He Who Fights With Monsters. English Original, 327 Chapters written, high action, some romantic elements but not overly prevalent so far. Incredibly well written and more realistic than most stories. Is an Isekai that explains how the Isekai happened, and where the MC isn't "mysteriously" more powerful than everyone else, or suddenly incredible at fighting without explanation. In fact, the MC actually revises and adjusts his fighting style as he improves and learns how to utilise his abilities. It updates 5 days a week, though it's about to take a small hiatus until early January for Xmas. Oh, and, be careful about Daresan's recommendation's. I believe that most of them are just what they consider to be good stories, without considering whether or not they fit your listed requirements. Chyrsalis, for example, is about a person who reincarnated into a Monster Ant surviving, finding more Monster Ants, and basically building up an army of sentient Monster Ants so that they can have friends. There is no romance in this story whatsoever. I have no idea what RTW is (I'm assuming it's Root To Win or Royalty To Win or something like that), but I suspect that KD is Kingdom Development.
Okay, got it! I've been taking every CN novel with a grain of salt. Also, why is everyone recommending CN novels? I don't want CN novels???
I didn't. I added my comment to the CN Novel discussion in the first paragraph, and then went onto my actual recommendation in the second paragraph (with details about it). Third paragraph is a warning about Daresan's recommendation list, and fourth is just a line about the questions you asked Daresan about his abbreviations.
well, they're all generally quantity over quality too... except for the good ones. Do you have any recommendations of the best ones in your opinion? Even if they've already been suggested?
Well (kd)kingdom building and (RTW) Release that Witch.. If it is romance i will write romance on brackets if i havent then they are not romance focused may not even have one. And yea i never claim my recommendations are best of all i just write masterpieces on what i think is masterpiece. Its just my opinion who knows you might like it you may not.
