Peak Non-Cultivation / Progression Fantasy
Xianxia and Qi Cultivation are the hallmarks of the Chinese Novels, but the Chinese Web Novel scene has so much more to offer than Qi Cultivation alone.

Here is a list of the best Chinese Web Novels that don't use traditional Qi Cultivation.

Like my other list, this list is still under construction. If you have any novels you believe deserve to be on this list, please leave them down below in the comments.

Thank you =]

Is this novel good or bad? Reading the reviews, it seems a lot of people cannot stand this novel. Then why is it however, that I absolutely, unabashedly, love this novel to pieces?... more>>

A novel I can't seem to forget no matter how much time passes. A novel that birthed an entire new genre from it. I am incredibly thankful to The Legendary Mechanic for bringing us hundreds of 'gamer' novels with it as I thoroughly enjoy all of them.... more>>

      Thank you so much for your kind comment, I am glad you enjoyed my review! I really need to do more but they are quite time consuming. clear.png Have you read 'My House of Horrors' and 'The Legendary Mechanic'? though they are not quite on the same level as LoTM I highly recommend them if you are ever looking for something to read. >.>
