When  it comes to cultivation novels this is definitely one of the first I can think of. The Legendary Master's Wife is a light and beautiful read for anyone interested in a naïve protagonist and overpowered ML. At it's core it is probably the most xuahuan-like Cultivation novel in the BL fandom translated thus far. It has over 500 chapters for your reading leisure. If you've never read a cultivation novel, this would be a good one to start with. ... more>>

Summary: MC transmigrates into a cultivation world. But what is he to do, he is only a weak chicken?! Luckily for him he has a gold finger...but why does his life saving gold finger come attached with a possessive male lead?! <<less

Novel is written so well, even translated, one can tell the original is a masterful work. ... more>>

Summary: After a suspicious fight, the sect leader MC finds himself reduced to a terrible state, unable to  see or fight back when he is captured by the ML. But though he is unable to fight back, MC will not give into the ML's will, for all the things the MC is, no one can call him weak. <<less

What can I say about this novel? The novel is so well loved, it's been adapted into a manga, an anime, and even a live action tv series. Although, the anime and tv series leave the BL aspect too ambiguous for my tastes, but what can you do about it? In any case, the hype for this novel is well deserved. ... more>>

Summary: MC experienced a tragic life as a demonic cultivator, he was meant to be dead. But ghosts are souls who wander for a home. Our MC is summoned back to the land of the living and into the body of a weak and ab*sed young man. He should have been able to execute his revenge on the previous body's ab*sers and escaped into the night unseen. But whether it is the past or present there is one man who will never let the MC disappear, never again. <<less

If you haven't read this one, I'm sorry, you have missed out. It's quirky, humorous, and engaging. And I'm only talking about the first chapter. ... more>>

Summary: MC thought being a life-science vlogger was the best way to make money after graduating college. And in the universe where galactic technology has advanced so much that virtual worlds are basically the real world, why not vlog in any type of world you see fit. So tell him, how did his virtual technology building vlog channel turn into him actually transmigrating to the world of cultivation, with his Vlog channel and viewers attached? Well, MC will just roll with it. Time to introduce this cultivation obsessed world to the wonders of electricity and everything that comes with it. <<less

Why is this high on the list you ask? Well it's long and winded, the writing too descriptive and focuses on the cultivation more than anything else. So it's the more stereotypical Xanxia novel ever translated for the BL genre. This is basic of the basic ways cultivation novel is SUPPOSED to be written. Don't bother listening to the reviews down voting this novel. If you like reading the Non-BL, cultivation novels, or even reading the manhua's, but wished you could read one with a gay theme this is the novel for you.... more>>

Summary: MC transmigrates into a cultivation world and starts focusing on cultivation from a young age. "I'm going to focus on cultivating into immortality, love can come later, let's live a long time first!" <<less

Reborn as a cannon fodder character in a typical Stallion novel, our poor MC's character was originally killed off in the early chapters after forcing... more>> the villain to "pow pow" against his will. MC's plan to survive? Do the deed, then disappear to places the villain will never find him. Too bad said Villain is determined to get him at all costs, only it's not the MC's death the villain is after. I guess we can say Mc's milkshake brings all the Villains to the yard? (Not sorry) <<less

Written by the same author of The Founder of Diabolism, the s*um Villian's Self-saving System is also a well written adventure. And though I did enjoy reading the majority of this novel, I find the particular love story  of the MC and ML to be a bit unfathomable. Plus I have a great hatred for the system. Despite that I cannot leave this at the bottom on the list, Mò Xiāng Tóngxiù is too good of a writer! Warnings for Non-con elements!... more>>

Summary: MC transmigrates into a book as a  cannon fodder master killed by his disciple. With an unhelpful system to guide him he tries to navigate this new world and survive.  <<less

I will say this, while it is a novel with cultivation, the progression of the MC'S skills pretty much happens in a few sentences.  It seems to be less about his cultivation journey  and more about the MC and how he views the cultivation world around him. And how others view him in turn. And its a good read. ... more>>

Summary: History notes that there was once a cultivator of great power and knowledge that his legacy still remains in the world. But our MC is not dead yet, many years later he awakens to find the world lacking in simple practice and technique. How will he navigate the world as it is now? <<less

Wow, I am actually unsure if the reader should love or hate either MC or ML. Both of them are crazy... But some how I don't dislike the way things progressed. Translated very well, and the story itself is nicely written. Not a masterpiece but a good work none the less.... more>>

Summary: How unlucky, for the most prestigious, and magnanimous character in a novel to be blackened. But, what if you can stop it? What if you, the reader, could change the story around? What lengths would you go to? And would you dare to fall in love? <<less

Translation is done well so far. The story line is also decent. Even though I am disappointed by some of the spoilers I read, I refuse to let that  sway me from finishing this one. I hope given time, the decisions of the author will make a sense.... more>>

Summary: Our poor MC was blind to those that used him in the past. Now reincarnated, he's determined to use his skills (Seal Cultivation as the title says) for himself. But no second chances are for free.  <<less

I've been reading this one for a while, so putting it on the list is definitely something I can do with confidence. There was one commenter who recommended this be added, and since I had already had it added to my own personal list I decided why not? For reasons I can't actually remember I added this novel to my "Probably Won't Finish" List. But all I can recall now is how nice it is. The plot is nothing unique, but it is executed decently. And a number of characters are well fleshed out. Pretty sure it's worth me picking up again just to see how the story will progress.... more>>

Summary: MC was the most loyal and obedient to his master, yet his master favored someone else?! Can our MC who travelled to the past uncover the truth? Why did his master's sword pierce him? If it was the will of the heavens, then the MC will just have to rewrite the heavens. <<less

In truth I want to put this further up on the list, but my own personal tastes aside, I know the writing style is too simple to put this any higher.... more>>

Summary: Our transmigrated MC, a ger (male born with the ability to birth babies), is manipulated against his will to marry a poor man whose cultivation was abolished due to jealousy. Luckily this new husband seems to know a lot of things he shouldn't. Events that will take place as well as cultivation techniques that will help his new in-laws. "Pft! Want to force me to marry? Looks like my new husband is the Son-of-Heaven!" <<less

I actually really love this novel, it's in my top reading list right now due to it hitting everything I love in cultivation plots. Strong MC, check. Strong ML, check. Face-slapping, check. World Building, check. But the plot is very cliche, focused a lot on advancements in cultivation without any of the main character's working their utmost to truly earn it. In other words, they get stronger than those around them in certain ways, way too quickly. For that reason, it's this low on the list.  But that doesn't mean it's a bad read. This is definitely worth a go.... more>>

Summary: MC reborn into the same world(?) after a tragic end. With his knowledge of cultivation already surpassing those around him MC sets out on his journey to immortality. He even manages to meet someone he knew in his last life, though that person was nothing but a puppet without a soul. Now alive in a kicking this possible ML finds himself devoted to our reborn MC. How will this turn out? <<less

1st note that the title is a pun. Don't be turned off completely by the title and the tragedy tag.  I can't give a review yet as not enough chapters are released. But its good so far.... more>>

Summary: The odd thing was, these two should be sworn enemies... But the MC just wants to know, what is this!?! If there is a time, there is a place. If there is a will, there is a way. You only need to find your way and take your place. <<less

In truth I didn't want to add this here as this isn't a true cultivation novel, however many aspect were similar as it is wuxia so I added it anyway. I do so love a story about a protagonist who wants to escape what pressures and labels society puts on them. While that a general way to look at this novel, it's a pretty good summary for it as well. I also like that the MC isn't a floundering fish, but a upright dragon. The translation is passable.... more>>

Summary: It's not that the MC is tired of living, it's just that he's tired of the way he lives. Even if it takes the worse pain imaginable to live freely he will do it.  <<less

Another one not about the cultivation journey but about the experiences the MC and ML have living in the cultivation world. I have actually read a few bad reviews for this novel but from what I have read so far, it's really not so bad. ... more>>

Summary: MC somehow comes across the blood of the most powerful demon in current time and gets turned into a half demon. He attempts to find the Demon Realm to give that demon a piece of his mind. Who just leaves their blood lying around like that?! With the help of our "mysterious" ML will he be able to cross over to the Demon Realm and find a way to turn fully human again?

MC: "Yes when I see that Demon King I will give him such a thrashing!"

ML: "..." <<less
