Would you refuse Xianxias if someone described it?

I have no friends , so i guess i just read all day and wail in my misery.

 

I let my friend read some of the lines from LLS
He got interested in LN

 

Xianxias are like if DBZ had established, deeper levels of power and a darker, more complicated story. Often times the main character dies only to reincarnate and seek to better themselves through harsh training and adventures. During these adventures, the main character often obtains legacies through action packed trials, fights against clans who nobody else dares to provoke, and literally make the heavens themselves want to get rid of them. The stories are quite long as well, so the variety of the stories are fantastic.

If you enjoy powerful protagonists and crazy conflicts then you'll like xianxias.

That's roughly how I'd describe xianxias if I was trying to sell them.

 

I get what you are saying. Ive been trying to explain some of the stories I've been reading to my SO. She said "yeah, those are cool stories but why do the MCs ALWAYS have to be reincarnatied?". For some reason she hates just THAT aspect of the stories. Just keep trying. There is bound to be something he'll like. I got her reading tensei shitara slime datta ken. So anything is possible.

 

I have a problem with telling people, or more specifically, my little sister ('cause she's the only one with the slightest chance of reading them), the latest stories I've read. I always get too passionate, and start rambling off, and in the end she gets confused and annoyed. (She also has the same problem btw) Somehow I've realized that listening to someone narrate their impressions and mix up plot points doesn't make me interested in reading the story...even if I would've liked that story if I discovered them myself. Or maybe it's just my arrogant assumption that my little sister would never be able to give good recommendations...

 

I would have no problem if someone described xianxai as someone overcoming hardship, defy heavens will, and seeking the path immortal. the thing is if you talk about the plot of these novels and what the MC does and their outlook on life, by no means I would avoid this genre.

 

No, I wouldn't. But, I had watched The Hobbit and Avengers, played LOL and listened to post-rock because was asked as a favor, so I could read if they really need someone to talk to.

 

It depends on who's doing the describing, really.
