    I’m trying to get inspiration for a novel and I would like opinions on what you think is the best training arc you’ve seen in a cultivation novels. Thanks

    Alright, of all the closed off training sessions, I have to nominate This Hero Is Invincible but Too Cautious - https://www.novelupdates.com/series/this-hero-is-invincible-but-too-cautious/
    His training arc is pretty much him training for a bit after every event and the goddess losing her mind over it since he doesn't want to show her what he is doing
    I don't know if he is cultivating, but it sure is a closed training and he suddenly is stronger by a whole rank

    I think best training arc is not found in novel but in manga

    100 Push-ups
    100 sit-ups
    100 squats
    10 km running
    EVERY SINGLE DAY
    It goes without saying that you have to eat three meals a day, but a banana should be enough in the mornings
    Another rule is to never use your (or other) air-conditioner, be it summer or winter, to mentally strengthen yourself

    Explained in just 1 chapter also the best part is possible for you to try it. No impossible training like lift-weight tonnes of rock, absorb yang/fire energy in lava, refine poison by eating it, punch and crushing divine steel that are harder than diamond or learn to fly from jumping the highest mountain without parachutes or tool, just your bare body

    The prologue and first few chapters of Secret Organization.
    The chilhood military death camps of Monarch of Evernight. The rest of the novel became boring and tedious to read after a while in my opinion tho.

    Not exactly a training arc, but The Tutorial Is Too Hard has some good training arcs (mainly grinding and practicing) in the first few arcs...but it looks like the old translator took down the first 200 something chapters

    Yeah, I’ve actually went back to get inspiration on the novel right before you mentioned it. One of the best training arcs in my opinion, only problem is that the MC is dull.
