    I'm looking for novel in a league like Ze Tian Ji, Tales of Herding Gods, World of Cultivation, Nightfall, etc. I want to read a novel with multidimensional characters, with a good writing and a good philosophy behind it. I want something good, and I know good thing is rare. But I hope there is some hidden gems, that I have yet to read.

    Request seems a bit vague, but based on these novels, I guess you want power fantasies with over-arching plots and characters, not one-time use plot devices, and stories where the MC actually has setbacks.

    Here are some Chinese power fantasies that I think you'll like:

    The Godsfall Chronicles
    Lord of the Mysteries (I highly recommend it)
    Embers Ad Infinitum
    Cultivation Chat Group (more comedic than serious on the early arcs)
    History's Number 1 Founder (this is a parody novel)
    Pivot of the Sky
    Night's Nomenclature (I highly recommend it)

    Reverend Insanity (but this got axed)

    I personally enjoyed Er Gen's books two books and thought they might fit into this as well;

    Pursuit of Truth
    Renegade Immortal

    In terms of xianxia/wixia stories, I'm currently enjoying "I cultivate passively"
