Pretend I havent read a single novel, and I'm: Looking for a cultivation novel, that's is, as the title says, either really good, or something different from the 'norm', unique. Maybe theres a novel thats got an awfully bad review, or bad rep, but you think its great, you could also recommend that, but please at least mention why you recommend it..?
Maybe "Sage Monarch", as for why, it is because, it is one of the cultivation novels that got no romance nor harems and follows a somewhat interesting plot, well, to some degree XD
The normie stuff would be all the classic books written I Eat Tomatoes, Er Gen, Tang Jia San Shao, Heavenly Silkworm Potato, Ni Cang Tian, etc. My recommendations for unique novels would be Reverend Insanity, Warlock of the Magus World, and Lord of Mysteries.
Cultivation Online is pretty unique and very good too. My Girlfriend From Turquoise Pond Requests My Help After My Millennium Seclusion is pretty good aswell, pretty unique MC and plot
