    A friend asked me to send him some Chinese cultivation novels, and I told him that before I send him the good ones I'll have to send him the trash ones. He's never read a CN before so what trash ones should I send him first so that he can appreciate the good ones.

    Send him 'Peerless Martial God' first, it's the king of trash. Follow it up with MGA.

    Inivisible Dragon isn't Chinese, but it is the trashiest trash novel on NU.

    you gotta go with the drug dealer approach,
    first give him the good one to make him addicted,
    then gave him the normal one to keep him coming back for more,
    by the times he start reading the worse one his hooked for good

    the early chapters of shrouding the heavens was pretty painful to read.

    MGA, ATG and PMG become painful. Let him get sick of them before giving him CD and ST

    ATG, TDG and such.

    MGA, PMG, etc that are pure garbage should be pointless to recommend imo, but your call.

    ZTJ stands out for its peacefulness and relaxed atmosphere after you know what to expect from xianxias

    Your plan might backfire, I bet he will enjoy the trash ones instead of the good ones, and it's always happening to me. Either way just recommend him the Invisible Dragon.

    You can’t go wrong with against the gods and martial god asura. The gate of good fortune as well maybe?

    That's really sinister... Are you really sure you don't belong to the penguin trio from Madagascar (the movie)?:p
    But I fully agree.
    My starter novels (Coiling Dragon, Stellar Transformation and Douluo Dalu) were so good that they got me addicted to the stuff. It also created a halo (which I now know, from painful experience, to be false) around cultivation novels in general.

    So addicted that several years later, I am still rummaging through trash, hoping to strike gold...:(:cry:

    Nah..if he finds it boring, then give him a strong dose. Otherwise, due to it's heavy emphasis on cultivation, the kid will know if cultivation is his cup of tea or not.
