Young Masters, let's have a martial arts/wuxia/xianxia video games thread before I cripple you.

>>714851472 (OP)
I bought Xiuzhen idle but don't remember why. It might have been a recommendation from here?
Is it worth playing.

Wandering Sword got a DLC

I'm playing Tale of Immortal with a wood build and this shit fucking wrecks my fps what can I do?

>>714852103
>wood build
kek you fell for it

>>714851472 (OP)

now what

You are courting death!

Is it worth buying Nine Sols in sale?

>>714852529
Have you ascended to a higher level of Cultivation

>>714853125
If you like that type of game.

>>714851918

I like Wandering Sword, it's kinda like BG1 if it was a jrpg

>>714852487
what's wrong with that game? there is too much grinding and npcs beat me even when i am one level above them. are there any endgame content or should i just drop?

>>714855649
>npcs beat me even when i am one level above them
haven't played ToI but i have read a couple wuxia and I hate to tell you this but you are actually the frog in the well NPC being beaten by main characters with secret god inheritances

>>714855649
You can install some mods to cut the grind, and if you lose to people one level under you something is wrong.

>>714855569
The gameplay’s a bit rape or get raped for me

New update from /ourguy/ from vrpg. It's a xianxia text game.

>>714855649
>npcs beat me even when i am one level above them
Your foundation is shit. Like a pagoda built on quicksand, your cultivation will crumble at the slightest breeze

>>714856327
Nice.

>>714856292

Tbf the same goes for bg1

>>714856327

why are they all like this?

>>714851817
It an idle game, not sure what else you expect.

>>714851472 (OP)
觅长生 is the only true xianxia game I know about

>>714857369
Wuxia/xianxia morality is protagonist-centric.
If someone opposing the protagonist does it, then it's evil.
If the protagonist does it, then it's good.

His game when?

>>714857609
>revermid midsanity

>>714857648
post 99 better xianxias right fucking NOW

>>714857369
You do know Wuxia MC only do that when they are provoked by arrogant young master, then their dad, then their distant relative rich cousin, then their ancestor.

>>714857692
Martial GOAT asura 1-99

>>714857609
any other novel where protagonist is amoral and has grand aspirations?

>>714856647
>>714857046
Helps that Aura Clash is stupid fun and easy to get into.

So, is this genre basically chinese capeshit?

>>714858549
Chinese Dragon Ball

>>714858549
Shounen. Capeshit hinges on iconic legacy characters.

>>714856327
This isn't wuxia. Stop shilling it you retard.

>>714858549
No, xianxia is more like shounen (MC train to archive some goal)
Meanwhile Wuxia is more like Robin Hood (wandering rogue help the poor and punish the rich)

>>714858549
Wuxia is chinese capeshit, superhuman heroes doing inhuman stuns, sometimes goes into low fantasy.
Xianxia is chinese high fantasy, magic dragons and such.

>>714858717
More like, every single chinese martial arts movie in the 90s and 2000s was wuxia. Only really becomes xianxia when powerlevels and multiple trainin arcs are involved. Wuxia usually has 1 training arc where the hero learns all that he needs.

Path of Kung Fu looks interesting but apparently the English version is currently horrible unreadable MTL.

>>714858898
You haven't see Jin Yong work, haven't you? That shit barely got any training arc and more "hero stumble upon martial art by chance". Wuxia is more defiled by the setting than power level. Basically Wuxia is historical fiction while Xiaxian is more fantasy.

>>714856327
this is actually kino lads wtf

>>714851472 (OP)
Young masters, please recommend me a kino wuxia/xianxia light novel to read.
I bought Coiling Dragon because I found official translation for it and discovered that it's basically MMORPG autism. It's fun but it's not martial arts, more like what a chinese westaboo would write for a western fantasy setting.

Any recommendations?

>>714858549
At worst, Xianxia can be far, far more retarded. >>714853102 is kinda concerningly accurate.

Chingchongs have a bit of a stereotype of not having any human empathy or imagination, which obviously makes it dificult to make compelling media.
The fact it is often badly translated chinese does not help: some of the things which are happening you may well not understand because you don't understand some cultural background.

Like a character might be considered good because he follows traditional confucian values - which are not our own - but then he does something that technically dishonours his parents (a big no no) and so is suddenly overwhelmed with regret. And you're reading being like 'but that village of people you skinned alive was just a footnote? What?' because confucius dont give a shit about that so it doesn't matter.

All genres can have good works in them though.

At best Xianxia can often be a wonderful interplay of extremely high fantasy abilities and topics and extremely low fantasy characters and plot. It's often sort of the fantasy equivalent to cyberpunk in a weird way. Like in cyberpunk you have the rich and powerful and they may as well be gods compared to everyone else, and they use their power to strangle everyone else and act like spoiled children and hoard all the power and wealth while the protagonists eat mud to survive. Until he gets one small break, some chance to ascend to the realms of the haves vs have nots (and then change fucking nothing because no empathy here).

Replace money with magical power and that is Xianxia. Western fantasy tends to have magic be something you have to learn and which treats people basically equally. Xianxia magic is something you absorb, and you absorb the most by working harder and being richer than other people. People who have talent but no resources die or serve people who have talent *and* resources to hopefully get a slice of the pie.

Is the monke game Wuxia? That's the only chink game I know

>>714859639
Xianxia. Wuxia generally doesnt have any fantastical stuff. Its just humans practicing martial arts.

>>714859514
Reverend Insanity
I Shall Seal the Heavens.
A Regressor's Tale of Cultivation.
Lord of the Mysteries.

>>714859514
>Xianxia
>Light novel

Do such thing exist? Is it even Xianxia if it doesnt have a billion pages?
If I was going to recommend any Xianxia I'd either say a Thousand Li by Tao Wong or Cradle by Will Wight.

The former is pretty much the most generic xianxia story you could have but very competently done. It follows a guy who goes from being the weakest piece of crap to someone who matters slowly but steadily so you understand his journey.

The latter is a westernized version of xianxia that strips out most of the overt chinese-ness and doubles down on the 'look, magical power is a metaphor for wealth' in places too.

Both are like 12 book series long though. Or in Xianxia terms, medium length.

>>714859695
>>714859639
Like if we're comparing it movies, crouching tiger, hidden dragon is wuxia. But kungfu panda or forbidden city is xianxia.

>>714859797
>LotM
i forgot, is there sequel in the works or not?

>>714859839
It's over already.

>walking down the street minding your own business
>accidently bump into a young master, embarrassing him in front of his jadelike beauty waifu
>he is clearly enraged and screams that you're courting death

What's the proper response in this situation? Keep in mind that the young master is one large realm higher in cultivation than you.

>>714859804
"Light novels" means "literature slop that you can read a chapter or two on a train ride".
The 9999 chapters are a staple of the genre, pretty much.

>>714859967
dayum, guess i know what ill read next

>>714860052
Cradle by Will Wight, it's also pretty fun.

>>714860030
Getting on the ground and begging for forgiveness is probably the only way to get out of that situation alive. Otherwise at best you're gonna lose an arm at worst you just get beheaded.

>>714860030
I instantly kill him as my strong foundation allows me to fight 2 cultivation levels above me, then I use my teleportation talisman to flee the city and escape his grandfather. Before I go I teleport away I tell the grandfather you shouldn't bully the weak, and that one day heaven will extract vengence upon him.

>>714860178
You'll never overcome the heavens with that attitude.

Start fawning like a gay fangirl. Every one of them gets the fuck out while the girl always laughs.

>>714860376
Well you better start focus on being comical and endearing and befriending any weird vagrant types you encounter so that a MC decides to carry you when he starts severing his karmic ties

>>714860498
Of course. I've read the side character mook handbook and memorized it's contents thouroughly. I will not be caught lacking.

>>714860320
For me? It's the ditzy wolf girl.

>>714859542
> or imagination
One of the big problems is that the Great Leap Forward butchered pretty much every piece of mythology outside of journey to the west and whatever scattered folklore existed for long enough to be recollected. Likewise famous historical fiction that wasn’t utterly butchered is pretty much limited to romance of the three kingdoms.
Western fantasy might be in an absolutely fucking dire place now due to rampant nepotism and crony hires, but in theory a western writer can pull from over two thousand years of mythology and historical fiction for inspiration. Hell, that’s pretty much exactly what Tolkien did.
The Chinese are effectively in a situation where they have Beowulf and someone welding together Le Morte d’Arthur from Welsh folklore to pull from.

>>714860030
Simplicity itself, junior.
Simply hand over the verdant jade hat of spiritual refinement in recompense.

>>714860614
To be fair, how many games are actually based european folklore? It seems like eveyone these days are making up their own shit while china does do stick to their own mythologies. Like wukong was taking after classical buddhist pantheons. People keep saying every chinese fantast looks generic but turn a blind eye to western fantasy that has dragons, elves, orcs and dwarves.

Tolkien's explicit goal in making the LotR universe was to create a mythology for England, so the answer is all of them :^)

You have to build your clan, you should bang as many as you can.

>>714860959
because he lacks the imperial aura to make all others cower in his presence

>>714860959
Because you're not respecting that person's space i guess. Any disrespect no matter how minor can get you killed in martial arts novels.

>>714859514
Seconding I Shall Seal the Heavens. The cultivation is based on actual Daoism. Early parts are comedic with lots of foreshadowing, but later on it gets surprisingly intense.

>>714861021
I guess so, but very few western games actually make use of their own mythology, like stuff like cu cuhlainn and fionn mac cumhail is something I have to learn from japanese media instead.

Seems like an interesting genre for a video jem but I'm not gonna read any of those autism novels. Wandering Sword looks good though

>>714860858
Directly, not many, however a lot stories have common ancestry involving them. Little folk are usually from German or British folklore and werewolves are originally from monks really hating King John and shitting on him after he died, for example.

>>714851472 (OP)
There's a fucking wuxia+xianxia version of Mount and Blade in the works called Crown and Adventure
There's a demo of it and i'm fucking addicted to it

>>714861316
Nta but most of the modern western fantasy we see nowadays are largely hollywood inventions with barely any roots to their european counterparts. I think Witcher was the first western game I played where the monsters had a very distinct slavic folklore feel to them.

Its capeshit with long hair and silk robes, its all about power scaling. its more akin to Dragon Ball I would say but the first Dragon Ball not Z. Z is more like Superman where the chink martial artist alien saiyans defend earth from space threats or androids or hellish threats.

In Wuxia Xianxia its just localized in China and its usually an adventurer god fathered spoiled kid that is so skilled he does whatever the fuck it wants and fucks any bitch he likes too because he is skilled at love too and anything. Chinks are just trying to one up the other.

Makes sense in China you can be deified if you are a really good general too. I doubt they do that today though.

Tribulation of Myriad Races is my most liked out of the bunch just because how it handles faction politics and how the MC slowly becomes disillusioned despite having... nobleish intentions.

>>he is clearly enraged and screams that you're courting death
He's extremely clearly a low-level retard and I'm not afraid of him. The Cultivators worthy of actual terror responses are the Virtuous ones who would help you to your feet for being a misguided fool who could not recognize such a wellspring of Qi crossing him as an ant could not differentiate the burning heat of the sun from that of a nearby phoenix, or the utterly silent and indifferent response of an Evil cultivator whose minions would tear you to shreds for being too close long before you even got a chance to bump into him accidentally, wherein your Qi would be absorbed by some Jar Zombie to keep it alive for another year and your worthless corpse would be dragged along to feed the soil in his flowerbed.

My answer is I scoff at him and continue on my way.

They really don't. Isekai universally lacks perspective in regards to their settings outside of things related to the protagonist and their own respective powerlevel nonsense (Log Horizon being my singular counterargument) and near-constantly lean on the utilization of out-of-context video game powers and Cheat Abilities to justify why the protagonist isn't a red splotch on the ground. Slophwa tends to be worse in this regard, except replace cheat powers with just accepting that the MC is now both godly powerful out of nowhere and is also an irresistable gigachad. At least Xianxia Dragonball bullshit still exists in a world full of other Xianxia Saiyans.

Your childhood friend is a jobber, so you may as well have a harem. It's one thing if she kept pace with you and stood by your side for all the challenges you face. Otherwise you may as well spread your seed far and wide.

Why are these threads better on /v/ than in their own boards?

>>714880562
Wuxia and xianixa are too high quality for anime related boards but too low quality for intellectual boards, which is exactly what /v/ is too.

Cultivation shit is more honest. The only Isekai stories worth reading are the ones that make no bones about being a shameless power fantasy, but more often you get:
>MC is treated like shit because the author is grinding out a revenge fantasy for all the shit he got as an office drone, then ultimately becomes stupidly OP and gets a ludicrously out of proportion revenge
>MC has the horrifying dilemma of choosing which gorgeous woman who inexplicably wants his dick to fuck, but he never will since fans of the pairing the author doesn’t choose will hunt him down if he ever makes a choice
>MC is weak but discovers some “hidden” loophole to become stupidly OP that anyone not retarded could have found
>a story treated as some subversive work that’s totally different from other isekais, but drops any pretense and becomes a bog standard, cliche filled mess within five chapters

There is no permanence in "good", fellow master.
Stick to the stone-set standards, and the rigidity will erase your vitality like a relentless water stream.
Learn transience, and good will flung you forward, just as you will flung forward good. Apply balance in transience, and the carrying motion is ever-present.

What I mean is that you're gonna lower your standards and this one is a 5-7/10 depending on what you think of its formula. It looks like Diablo, but plays closer to beat 'em ups and character action games than anything. Read the manual before playing.

western themed cultivation isekai but instead of bottlenecks, you got sequences as the powerlevel. Everything is coated in western themes but everyone's a chink deep down. MC constantly needs help but every obstacle he comes across was a minor roadbump at best. The MC is also always morally in the right in every situation. So basically just overrated cultivation slop.

>>714892172
Ha, these fools.
Why step onto the path of cultivation at all. Have you not explored the grand dao?
Qi is just an illusion.
The dao itself is the only power you need. For when you have reached the supreme, you are truth and power itself. Why do you need such a pitiful thing as cultivation to express your Dao?

Everything about cultivation is so incredibly gay, its just the expression of a culture where everything has to be ranked and a specific neverending pecking order is established.

I have sunk cost fallacy with Shadow Slave. The only times when it’s good are when the author does the nightmare arcs. Which are quite often and we’re getting mini “nightmares” just recently.

"That is not what you are that is only what you are called. "Who are you who wishes to study here?" he asked again. The man thought for a moment and replied, "I am a professor." "That is what you do, not what you are" replied the master. "Who are you who wishes to study here?" Confused, the man thought some more. Finally, he answered, "I am a human being." "That is only your species, not who you are. "Who are you who wishes to study here?" asked the master again. After a moment of thought, the professor replied, "I am a consciousness inhabiting an arbitrary body." "That is merely what you are not who you are. Who are you who wishes to study here?" The man was getting irritated. "I am," he started, but he could not think of anything else to say, so he trailed off. After a long pause the master replied "Then you are welcome to come study."

>>714907160
The current western equivalent is litrpg/isekai, and that's a whole other kettle of cancerous fish

>>714907160
Western civilization has the hangup that strength and power has to be earned, and doesn't just fly into your ass of it's own accord. This prevents proper chink sociopath power fantasy from being written. The ultimate goal of alchemy is even referred to as the great work, implying that effort is necessary to achieve it. This is anathema to the China man.

>>714907160
A big part is that cultivation games barely exist at all. Like tale of immortal is certainly a xianxia game but it's not really about cultivation. 觅长生 is the only game I know that actually fits what I'd call a cultivation game, a game where the gameplay mechanics and systems are all about gamifying the "seeking the dao" fantasy.

>>714859542
>muh modern values
>in a setting where having the biggest dick makes you the law

Modern values hinge upon community, that they have a shared culture and value system which allows groups of people to come together under a common banner, be that a state, king or whatever elected group of representatives for the sole purpose of focusing the power of the masses.

All that falls away when a single person has the power to effortlessly destroy your entire world on a whim without any possibility to resist. At that point, morality becomes a dicksucking contest to appease this person as to not have him ethnically cleanse people over some slight annoyance.

>>714907753
What about wandering sword? It's definitely more wuxia but it's got a lot of scaling systems

>>714907539
It both does and doesn't. Most comic book heroes are all about people getting gift wrapped super powers, for example.
It's more that power not earned has to be used responsibly, while self made men get more freedom to wield it, including the freedom to fall as a result.

>>714907762
Power wank is just a needle-dicked cope, you might as well be Chris Chan writing comics where you beat up people who 'wronged' you in real life.

The dao itself is literally just like 'the way'. Its not really meant to be described, just something you seek in a way to live right for you with the universe. Using the force is probably a pretty good metaphor (id be shocked if it wasnt based a lot on it). Except the dao can be different for different people and is usually something like the role you play in the world: the dao of a fisherman is not the same as the dao of a housewife.

By understanding and becoming one with your Way, you in turn learn to act effortlessly when you're working in accordance with it. For the fisherman perhaps every net he casts comes up with fish naturally, because he just knows where to throw his net, but if he ever acted against the way of a fisherman by catching far more than he needed or sabotaging a rival his ability would desert him.

Remember that xianxia is just based on an entirely different set of myths and ideas; it's naturally going to seem odd but you dont need an actual background in this shit. Imagine reading a western fantasy book but you have no idea what knights, wizards, elves etc. are ; no big deal you just have to keep exposing yourself to more of it until ideas and common themes appear.
Everyone knows wizards like towers, keep reading enough books about wizards and you'll make the association. But fucking no one cares the actual reason is basically because before wizards got de-religioned a wizard was more likely to be someone who studied religion until he could bind demons in the name of god, and studying the literal heavens (towers are good for astronomy) is basically the same thing.

Part of Daoist thought is the idea that basically people have a set amount of Qi, and reasoning once this leaves you then thats why you die. So then the idea comes in like 'okay, what if I can show greater mastery over it and reduce the amount I lose to age slower' or 'what if I can top it up with more qi' and that is where cultivation as an idea springs from.

>>714908737
knowers not speak
speakers not know

>>714908737
>top it up with more qi

Which apparently must be done by injecting heavy metals into your anus.

>>714908571
No, that's the way of asiatic nations.
They don't really see others as trusted allies; they see master and slave, eldar and disciple, ruler and ruled.

Its why their business dealings to this day are so corrupt and dishonest.

>>714907753
I think a big difference in western fantasy and cultivation games come from that Fantasy can draw on already made game mechanics in the form of table tops which were then based off war gaming which was based off of historical warfare. Making a cycle of culture that feeds and reinforces concepts that make game making possible.
Where limits and clear levels of power were developed.
Everyone sort can understand a fireball, but Soaring Dragon Strike fourth form is too abstract to easily just throw in a game as there is no framework to work with. Which is why you always get tiers for shit in cultivation novels that end up being useless anyways as there is nothing grounding cultivation settings.
This makes them harder to turn into games.

>>714900582
Honestly, his earlier books were just better in general despite the somewhat more juvenile writing. Cradle's setting is also aggressively bland.

>>714909697
Cultivation 'levels' are just a chinaman fevereishly rubbing himself raw over his writing desk, and to get the same hit he has to keep adding another level over the previous one each time until the whole things goes beyond pointless.

Doing that for over 1000 chapters.

>>714910098
Is there any difference between this and Superman lifting 18 Quintillion Planets worth of force because he brushed shoulders with a star once?

>>714910924
Are heroes ranked by power in the Justice League in the first place?

>>714910924
As the other anon said, there's more to Superman than his powers.
Also comicbooks characters are written by a neverending procession of different writers so powers are in no way consistant, it tends to be the worse writers amongst them that resort to that sort of thing.

>>714883987
>>714885041
He acts like that because he has absurd inadequacy issues that comes from years of being treated as worthless. Like even by his family. IIRC i think his father outright ignored him for a few years.

Imagine you were born without any arms, and you have to do everything with your teeth but everyone you know spits at you for being a worthless freak instead of showing empathy. It's all that and also they're allowed to stab you to death anytime and anywhere.

Imagine how fucked up you'd be. You'd roll over sobbing for literally anyone because you've lived with that every day. If anything Lindon is too well adjusted. You'd expect IRL he'd need years of therapy to have a normal interaction with anyone, or go full evil.

Lindon didn't actually give a shit about power. He just wants to be treated like a person and power is how.
Like there's that part where he goes back to SV and tries talking to the clan elder. The guy has no clue of anything except that he can see Lindon has mastered a technique he shouldn't have been able to, and he seems genuinely happy for him and wants to get him a badge so that he gets the recognition he deserves. Lindon seems like he's almost going to cry. The guy actually seems proud of him and Lindon is touched by the recognition of someone who should be an ant to him. But hes also remembering this is the guy who declared him worthless in the first place.

It's not exactly a fun trait for a character to have, but I do understand it as a more grounded way to introduce that shonen 'obsessed with training to the point of mental illness' trait. His whole insane obsession with training is basically the extreme version of men who suffer some trauma and then just go to the gym religiously because the gym is something they can control and the only way they know how to deal.

>>714912149
Honestly this stuff is what's kept me away from Cradle.
I just knew modern western writers wouldn't understand pulp for men and would make it all gay and angsty and focus on muh emotions.
Wight didn't exactly instill confidence with the not-le-hero subversions in House of Blades and the sequel being extremely mediocre.

Try Lan Ke Qi Yuan, it's like a copycat version of that story but much better imo.

Don't bother with the manhua unless you're absolutely incapable of reading webnovels, but let it be known that the manhua is far inferior.

>>714905196
>>714903354
The actual novel was pretty good except when he spent like 15 chapters on piss & poop jokes with the dog. (out of like 1000 chapters to be fair)

>>714912938
Webnovels are also awful.

The clan elder called me a Timmy

>>714913301
You know what you have to do

>>714912525
He admitted that by Underlord (Cradle #6), he had to pump out a new book every six months for maximum relevancy and profit. Funnily enough, Underlord was the last good Cradle book. Stay away. You miss nothing you did not already find with Simon.

Why wuxia threads have great humor?

As much as I love Shadow Slave, "sunk cost falalcy" is really the perfect way to put it.
The good parts are really good, the slow parts are really slow, and somewhere in between am sitting there thinking "Well shit, I have read this much already, might as well see where the story goes".
The current arc seems kinda meh to me and I stopped reading about a 100 chapters ago to let them pile up a little more, but on one hand the part I stopped at is pretty boring, and on the other I want to continue reading because eventually it will get to the Sovereignty nightmare relatively soon and I wanna see what it's gonna be about.

>>714901805
You didn't ask for a list of good wuxia games.

>>714896456
This shit blew me away when the final boss fight happened and The slow-motion skill you use the whole game to make fights easier is suddenly used by the enemy boss and now you're both fighting at slow motion time but it's like normal time because you're both using it.

>>714904210

Capeshit doesn't have powerlevel wankery of omg he is two lesser realms below and won aieeeeeeee whats this fighting against a major realm skip he is unstoppable
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh now its 2 major realms skips and he genocided three worlds

>>714918461
lol

>>714918121
But how will they improve if the threat against their families stop them? Submission will only hinder cultivation and revenge for one's family is great motivation to improve one's own cultivation.

>>714904402
Basically instead of believing in gods, you believe in yourself enough to be a god, that is what Daosim in all these xianxia novels
Real daoism is more like a philosophy where you live in harmony with everything around you

>>714904703
A set of magical laws that governs everything in the world, and you can gain power by studying and understanding said laws
Yes, cultivator = chink wizard

>>714919139
>Real daoism is more like a philosophy where you live in harmony with everything around you

>>714859542
So Wu-shit is just the chinaman fantasizing about the alex mercer grindset?

>>714919443
And like all magic users they are a bunch of faggy nerds

>>714919454
I think you mistake daoism with something else, because real Daosim has never gained big enough force to do stuffs like that

>>714918121
To be honest it's how Confucianism works.
You're just here to do your duty to your country, to your family, to your community, and bringing shame or even questioning the "natural" order is a greatly dishonorable thing.

Of course, we're not any better. The chink's zeitgeist is built by confucianism and it's the very foundation of their society. Ours is the abrahamic mindset of "Making the world a better place" and living a good life according to an outside provider of moral values.

The chinks end up with this idea of
>"My life is worthless if I make my family lose face"
The western golems end up with this idea of
>"My life is worthless if I don't leave my mark on the world"

>>714919479
Yes, but not first game Mercer who was a good person and limited his murder eating to people that actually deserved it. Xianxia protags are second game Mercer where they will kill people and their entire extended families for any slight, real or imagined.

>>714919626
Face culture is retarded and self-defeating, on that alone the latter is better.

I feel like this thread is plagued with people who only read either Reverend Insanity or trash like Martial God Asura
Even Martial world mc doesnt kill anyone unless necessary, and sacrifice himself to save his universe

>>714919443
I view cultivators as Eastern wizards too, fascinating to see how they interpreted the whole thing.

I've been playing a bunch of Jade Empire, hit the imperial city for the first time but I haven't played in a bit. Started with Thousand Cuts but I'm getting real tired of having to do a micro walk forward to attack because you take a step backwards at the end of the regular attack sequence, so if you want all hits to land when doing two attacks back to back you gotta adjust your position else you whiff the first few hits. it's a shame too because I quite like being a fast punchy man, what other hand to hand style would you all suggest? I'm not using weapons because weapons are gay

You are courting men!

>>714920205
Fuck yeah it is, and this is the retard.

Puppetchad spotted

The disrespect in this thread from juniors is unheard of.
All of these juniors daring and courting death.
All juniors quickly kowtow and bang your head on the floor a thousand times with an audible thump yelling grandfather. Then cut off all your limbs and cripple your cultivation after sodomizing yourselves and I will consider sparing you.
However, if you don't I will kill all men in your entire clan to the third generation. Then not just the women, but the children too, I will sell them all to the brothel and rape your dog.
I will not give this warning a second time.
This is the extent of my mercy.

This is what the ideal fairy maiden body.

>L'oreal, because I'm worth it

>>714921706
No, there's almost nothing pornographic, but the racy scenes don't really hold back either. It's unfiltered, basically.

>>714922182
What do you mean? Are you talking about group cultivation where multiple people cooperate, or like somehow buffing up an entire species at the same time? I'm not really sure how that would work. There are cases in cultivation stories where a species is "elevated" by getting access to a supply of higher quality ancestor species blood which they then have the various members integrate into their bodies

>>714922021
Imagine looking outside and seeing this

>>714922392

>or like somehow buffing up an entire species at the same time
More this one
It was just a thought I had when I was walking in town and really stopped to think how fucking amazing cars are and all the other things in our life. The power line above my head probably had enough electricity in it to kill everyone in my country. I looked in the distance and saw radio towers. If that is not cultivation of a species then I don't know what is

>>714924424
>bloodline ends because he has only one son and the kid's a faggot
The Divine Extra-Solar Myriad Enhancement bloodline is strong enough that it won't ever truly die out. It has enough of the Dao of Fate in it that it will find a way to survive, even if a young master has to pop into existence from a different timeline.
Failing even that, should it somehow die out, then many alchemists and researchers will study it in the hope that they will be able to infuse the bloodline into their own and reforge their bodies without tedious amounts of body refining cultivation.

>>714925214
Is it bad that I completely understand this sentence?

>>714925357
I haven't properly invested myself into reading xianxia for ~5 years (and I last played Tale of Immortal in late 2023). If you can fully understand what I wrote, then I'm glad I was able to write it properly.

>>714922991
There definitely was some, he just tended to focus more on shielding items by the hundreds. Then BXC was a brawler most of the time so no need for slapping the bag mid fight.

>bloodline ends because he has only one son and the kid's a faggot
Same thing happened to The Flash and to Green Arrow in the CW shows. It's shameful to admit but I broke out of liberalism from the simple thought of "why do ALL of your families die off?" which of course lead to investigating the connection to the Demonic Tiny Hat Sect

You might not like it though, since MC does not fuck. The only thing he wants is to cultivate.

Why are MCs like this? Why would you want the virgin too prudish to do what it takes to cultivate?

Why are female cultivators like this?

This attack was laced with such powerful but hidden intent that I absorbed it without understanding of my failings, then suffered the damage and coughed up nonspecific blood when it revealed itself. Forgive this small one senior.

>>714927315
Dual Cultivation is a dumb concept.
The only thing worse is "Oh no this hot chick got hit with an aphrodisiac poison, now I will have to rape her to save her life"

I've been checking these threads for months, and I have a couple question

How is this videogames? Not looking to start shit, I'm just curious why these threads happen here instead of anywhere else

Also, are these stories good or is it just So Bad It's Good stuff?

Swan meat doesn't taste good

>>714878268
Nonsense. Fundamentally Confucianism is just patriarchal traditionalism with a high focus on accepting one's place in society at large. As the family is the smallest possible representation of a nation, it is intrinsically good for a nation. More specifically, a Chinese nation, because bugman values are not necessarily aligned or comprehensible to the western mind.

>>714927693
>How is this videogames? Not looking to start shit, I'm just curious why these threads happen here instead of anywhere else
