    I just realized I have never read a straightforward cultivation novel. Every cultivation novel I've read has "good guy" sects that are secretly corrupt and/or an MC that is OP because of some cheat that allows them to skip cultivation. Can anybody recommend me a novel that has an MC properly cultivating in an upright sect that isn't secretly evil? Basically, I want to read the life of one of the background characters in a typical cultivation novel. Just cultivating, fighting demons, finding treasures, and only evil sects have evil cultivators.

    Probably World of Cultivation

    On that note I should actually read that novel. Too much distractions.

    Basically almost impossible, since the author needs the main character to succeed everyone around them, how are they still going to be in a sect where they are stronger than the sect leader. Unless they are in the number one sect or close to it, it is almost impossible

    Edit: Actually, it can also just be in a sect that has barely any involvement with the world or it is a more peaceful world.

    I've never came across one like that, well they were at first until they devolved into typical BS.

    Hmm, i dont recall any cultivation novels that dont have crooked sects. RMJI has a couple sects that he doesnt spend long at that don't seem that crooked. Or maybe A Will Eternal, his sect isn't that crooked that i recall, though i stopped around 400 so, maybe not

    Have you tried True Martial World? The “good” guys and “bad” guys are pretty well defined
