I love classic wuxia, grew up on it, and am attempting to write it but I don't think it's required reading to understand cultivation tropes — just as I don't think Robert E. Howard/classic sword and sorcery is required reading for people trying to understand that Sanderson-style hard magic/power system-based fantasy or progfan/litrpg more generally.

I'm writing wuxia so it's low fantasy martial arts. Different schools and sects have their own styles and canon of techniques but it's admittedly a bit vague. I've received suggestions like adding a rock-paper-scissors angle or type affinities like Pokémon for more interplay and problem-solving possibilities but I want to keep it low fantasy without any elemental manifestation/manipulation shenanigans.

alphas and sigmachads probably don't care about power systems
