    I really really couldn't take the way fights go, i know it gets better later and maybe the fights would be greater too.

    but <100 chapters were all about throwing flying swords and slapping bags, and im not good at skipping chapters or lines so i can't do that either.

    Seperate post for
    I Shall Seal the Heavens
    Cause it deserves it. You need to read it. It is unbelievable how much that novel evolves and improves. It starts out scheming and item using stuck in a sect but thats just an intro that the MC escapes from and the stroy changes so much. Its one of the most intricate and detailed storys Ive seen with incredible and fantastic worldbuilding with countless different environments and cultivation methods and a variety of characters. Mc is ruthless, badass, endlessly becoming powerful. Seriously he even leads armies in war and tattoos gods into his skin learns alchemy and so much more. Cultivation is also incolves moment of inspiration and dao enlightenment as well as a variety of other methods. Incredible Romance too beautiful and sad.
    Red Wedding occurs and in revenge MC slaughters countless people.
    Overall the story keeps changing things up its so much better than so many other novels because so far its always full of new and interesting elements.

    As far as I've read it's still like that, in the sense that he keeps his items in the bag and has some of his secret weapons there... it's normal and convenient in this kind of novels to have an interspatial item to keep all other things, but of course the battles have changed in the sense that he learned techniques, earned legacies, gained enlightenment and so on... his power grows and he won't keep using that many items at once, maybe except for when he sells them at an exorbitant price and makes a lot of people be indebted to him...

    Ark is literally the carbon copy of weed... The author tried to tweak things he read in LMS and bombed.... That's why his sequel was panned so badly in korea

    if you ever get to reading just skip the starting fight scenes only after chapter 180 does it get good the first alchemy arc it the second best and the best arc it the war of north and south mcs awesomeness is of the charts plus he gets married in the middle of the battlefield with allies offering enemy heads as wedding gifts brutal and awesome at the same time

    Yeah Xian Ni is good and similar to ISSTH
    Same author after all. It changes alot
    Gets dark as hell too like some pretty brutal stuff happens. But then theres world traveling and some interesting albiet complicated new cultivation methods.

    Also on ISSTH forgot to mention time travel and beast taming.

    It seriously sounds like your tired of xianxia stories... Everything your asking for is technically a main stay in these novels (except for the d**k sucking thing, don't know where that came from)... All of them have 2 or more of your no no's in them.... Just saying.
    Hope you find something to satisfy your itch

    Yun Che. It seems like he cares about his family and women but if he really did he wouldn't die every 2-3 years by doing stupid shit.

    Type of MC that does only as he pleases. Clever, resourceful, and uses people constantly

    Type of MC who plans ahead to ensure he has a good future, Clever resourceful to the point of OPness, uses people all the time, has no super powers but manages to overcome such limitations
    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/my-death-flags-show-no-sign-of-ending/
    Plans ahead to prevent his untimely demise, the title is the synopsis
    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/akuyaku-tensei-dakedo-doushite-kou-natta/
    MC that acts and thinks ahead for her own survival
    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/sairin-yuusha-no-fukushuu-hanashi/
    This and the Link below are very similar, yet different, more about revenge due to the ability to step back in time after his world turns to shit from betrayal, he acts from that point on for himself
    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/nidome-no-yuusha/
    Similar to the above link similar situation.
    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/konjiki-no-moji-tsukai/
    Similar to Dungeon Defense where he does as he pleases, works for himself to live and survive in that world
    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/ascendance-of-a-bookworm/
    The MC is very selfish, uses people for her own ends, yet is strangely appealing, you might end up disliking her a lot, but bear in mind she is always thinking of her own convenience yet has a side effect that is beneficial to others.

    None of these recommendations are completed stories, they may get worse over time or better dont know but for now they seem solid enough reads to suit your taste hopefully
