    As the title says, I'm looking for some science fiction.
    Beyond that, i dont care too much (well.. maybe romance only if its good, but not too much/sweet whatever).
    Be it original or translated, on this site or another, as long as its sci-fi without the main theme being some form of cultivaltion/ supernatural growth (if there are some form of superpowers its okay, as long as its somehow (futuristic?) technology based.
    Havent read/remember having read a single one that fits that, so they're all fair game!

    Thanks for reading & any suggestions, of course!

    I’m not sure whether these quite fit, but BL “The Earth is Online” and “I’m Not Shouldering This Blame” have non-cultivation superpowers and are sci-fi.

    Well, the main reason i'm asking is because i was originally reading both fantasy and sci-fi before i found NU and similar sites, but afterwards only read things like cultivation/magic/supernatural/similar things, so i kinda wanted to go back to the base sci-fi -in whatever form of that be - as its just kinda been too long without.... thanks for trying, though!

    Transcendental Mechanic (not a current fan of QI's Legendary Mechanic translations...) is very good on the Sci-fi.

    The sci-fi that I've found without cultivation being the main plot element is not found on NU. Most of the sci-fi you find here may start out with personal cultivation being a supporting aspect but cultivation commonly becomes a more prevalent theme. If you want to try some actual novels you could check out one of these authors.

    Evan Currie (Odyssey One, and On Silver Wings Series)
    Jay Allan ( Blood on the stars)
    David Weber ( Safehold, Honor Harrington)
    Orson Scott Card (Enders Game, or Enders Shadow)
    Jamie Mcfarlane (Privateer Tales)
    A.G. Riddle (The Origin Mystery)

    Try with Manuke FPS, and maybe with I Was Reincarnated and mistaken as a genius!? Those two have a little of both, the first one MC was a VRMMO player in a futuristic FPS and gets Isekai'd, the second one mc reincarnated in an alternative future with minor changes in the historical records between WWI and WWII

    And with cultivation The World Online (not the BL one), this has VRMMORPG and stuff, also some cultivation but it's more kingdom building.
