    not sure if its exactly what you're looking for, but PMG has a mc where he gains control of a city with the power of an army that follows him everywhere. but the translator seems to be sick right now, so after 400 chapters, you'll have to wait till she comes back ^^

    read the manga and watched the anime D;

    i don't feel like reading another VRMMORPG since the day i read LMS and watched Log Horizon,
    Conquest Sounds nice, btw whats the diff between wuxia/xianxia/xuanhuan? i always read xianxia and xuanhuan but never read wuxia
    but i feel like wuxia is like martial arts base like Chinese movie right? like IPMAN or Bruce lee or Jackie Chan movie like no Magic/Spirit/Soul/Realm involve?

    Read Hail the King, God and Devil World, Re:Monster, LMS, Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles, Elf Tensei Kara no Cheat Kenkoku-ki
    Manga Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken
    Watched Overlord

    My Father in Law is Lu Bu sounds nice is this like related to three kingdoms? like Kingdom Manga where the MC's bestfriend is like the future Supreme King in history?

    Yes, related to Three Kindoms. No, because Lu Bu is not a king. Maybe you can search/read about Lu Bu at wikip or other source. And, this is a story about a man who time travel.

    Same answer for Conquest, a good novel !
    I started reading it without understanding it was a wuxia (I realised it later). Well, the focus isn't exactly on cultivation but it's indeed a western martial-fantasy novel in which our protagonist will mature through the concept of "war". He is an immature young guy with a strong body and a weird mindset who already has some sort of martial legacy (even if he doesn't know it) and a special body whose specialty can be triggered but not without paying some price. He will have also crossed the path of strong characters that will, in some way, affect his fate. But whatever you would think with this kind of setting, there is no real concept of "cheat", "destiny" or "journey to become stronger" (this isn't the goal in this novel and it's why it's not xianxia I think). All the protagonists are well written and original in their own way (friends, superiors, antagonists ... and other funny protagonists :LOL: ), the story setting is interesting and, wuxia or not, in term of quality, it has the written attraction of a TTNH (in war mode).

    Wuxia in general is about martial artists in ancient china, and has no concept of persuing immortality. Conquest is kinda a wuxia, but it also has magic and dragons and stuff like that, so it's more like a western fantasy/wuxia fusion

    It's not necessarily like Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan. It can also involve magic and cultivation and mythical beasts and a few other things as far as I know.
