Any cultivation novel with a cultivation system that isn't for comedic purposes? I've already read Gourmet from Another World and Black Internet Cafe and I know that Founder novel is highly recommended but I really can't bring myself to read a novel that has a literal carbon copy of other novels' MCs I have read of before. EDIT: I'm currently following the system novels, I'm Actually a Cultivation Big Shot(also read a bit of another novel based on it but for me it was a bit of a meh, forgot title though), My Disciples are Insane!(I think this is also a novel based on another one which will follow after this), I! Accept Disciples and become stronger(it's good I think then again I've only read about 20 chapters since most of it is behind paywall).
I've read that novel, pretty sure it doesn't have a "system" in it. Also, it's dropped, last I heard.
Ah, I thought you meant the actual power and cultivation system, not a system. I haven't read that many system cultivation novels with serious themes as they're usually used for face slapping purposes. If you want magic though, 'Warlock of the Magus World' is nice.
Read that too. I'm just looking for a cultivation system novel because it seems to me that the system genre is filled with comedic ones.
My Disciples Are All Villains is decent and Way of Devil might count if you consider a system that only upgrades skills as a system.
