The Old Gold Classical Literature.

Once read, novels will remain on the list with a rating and a short review.

Consider these recommendations almost. caution: not for everyone

These are the translations on WuxiaSociety.

These novels are hands down the absolute best when it comes to quality in world-building, plot twists, character development, or melodrama.

On most occasions, I tend to read 1/3~ of a novel to get a feel of things. These are [completed] some personal favorites and some to pass time. A small summary of the novel which may contain spoilers!... more>>

I started out with Wuxia and explored other genre like Xianxia and Xianhuan. Not a ranking list btw ^^;;

Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng... etc, all great. <<less

No description.

These are straight novels in which the male lead experiences at least half of the story as weak strategist (smart enough to conquer an army,... more>> but doesn't have enough muscle to win in a brawl). Please advise if there are any misses. <<less

All genres... more>>

No cliche plot , good mc character , interesting story , something unique , surprise ending, good cliffhanger , with an awsome peripeteia , and at the end we find non-linear narrative .  <<less

Legit wuxia (the only wuxia series translated) with some semblance of martial arts, not cultivation and alchemy. These are not level up, face-slapping or MC... more>> d*ck polishing. You want chivalry? Schemes? Minimal "boom, bang, crash" sequences for combat and actual combat descriptions? I have you covered. The main themes are brotherhood, family, history, conspiracy, solving mysteries, romance and chivalry <<less
