    What's your favorite type of crafting in chinese novels? Pills, talisman, bodies, weapons, incense and etc. And why?

    I don’t really have a favourite if I’m honest. The one I see the most is probably alchemy/pill making. Then smithing/forging. Often you got the mc doing both of these. I’ll choose them I guess as a package~

    Sure. I never see any novel discuss eating demonic beast flesh. Might be because they lose the need to eat

    Gourmet From Another World is all about cooking mystical ingredients. It's a goob book in my opinion

    I'm tired of Alchemy, I prefer restrictions, runes, formations or Talisman.

    What are restrictions? Arent those the effect of formations and talisman?
    Like a sealing talisman

    I really like crafting weapons. But there's no novel that describes pure weapons crafting :blobpensive::blobpensive::blobpensive:

    So, I will have to vote for food crafting.

Sadly of the few novels i follow with vrmmorpg themes that are have this, two are stopped one of these last two being abandoned (Bucket-san) and the other has been stopped for like 4 months already... (Only Sense Online) and I forgot where I was at in to Aru Ossan no VRMMO katsudouki, VRMMO chef was abandoned too, and relaxed vrmmo log hasn't been updated in long time too...

    They are more or less the same I guess.In Renegade Immortal, the word Restriction is used and they are like traps or buffed effects, it can be illusory,offensive,defensive,etc.
    In other novels its call Talisman or Formation and if I may say so Runes are kind of Talisman but of Western's origins.

    There were a lot of Food and Food Cultivation-oriented novels around here a few months ago. They sort of just disappeared.

    You can look at Prosperous Food Translation releases. I'm not too fond of the two they've been releasing lately, though. I hope they bring the other 5 back.

    I see you don't read Overgeared. It fits what you're looking for. Also, Rainbow Turtle's translation quality is top notch.
    Edit
    Also, Legendary Moonlight Sculptor fits it.

    But Overgeared also focus a lot on fight scenes. Haven't seen a lot of blacksmithing lately *sigh*

    Body crafting or refining, is more in line with a corpse sect creating their corpse puppet.

    Frankenstein's Monster would be an example of body crafting.
