Don’t forget! Everyone on the higher stage is also 1 asshole level higher than the previous stage unless they’re the MC’s ally. Each level is a 10x multiplier of asshole tendencies than the previous level. |

Good introduction. Helped me understand Xianxia novels even further, especially since I'm reading one right now, called "My Longevity Simulation". It's a decent novel, but slightly difficult to understand at times, even if the translator is doing a good job. Also some flaws. But overall good. I sidetracked a bit there,... |

If you want dive a bit more in xianxia related stuff like the tropes of the genre, the self derision of its readers and the like, give a go to r/MartialMemes |

If we're talking about Xianxias, we should also plug in r/noveltranslations because most of the Xianxia stuff is made by Chinese authors. |
r/noveltranslations is a community that mostly discusses these types of novels. |

Great explanation. I like how you're equating Qi to mana. That makes sense. If you train to increase the amount of Qi you have, you can essentially "use more magic." Or use it for longer. It's like magical endurance or something. |
I've never heard of cultivation in terms of striving to be immortal, however. That's new to me, so thanks for the primer. I mean, we're kind of doing that in the real world with ppl like David Sinclair studying aging as a disease. So who knows, maybe we'll all be living in a Xianxia someday. |

In Chinese legends, gods are not appointed or dismissed by the supreme god. A mortal can become a god through practice. Perhaps this can explain why China does not have a strong religion, because we value people more. |

If you're looking to get into translated xianxia, I'd recommend Ascending, Do Not Disturb. It's relatively short, entertaining, and as a romance with a female protagonist, it treats its female characters with more respect than most of the Chinese xianxia series with male protagonists do. |

Xanxia - Genre. There others like Wuxia or Xuanhuan. |
Summary: |
You are a mortal. By birth, you can either be lucky or unlucky. If unlucky, you will stay as a mortal. If lucky, you will be born with talents / attributes usually called spirit root. This helps you sense Qi or Mana. Without it you cannot sense Qi and therefore you cannot cultivate it in your body. Its like this. You b... |
Once you sense qi, you guide it using your meridians. Most novels, this veins like structure in your body called meridians are located within you but metaphysical in nature. It doesnt physically exists but its within you. Same as where you store your qi which is called dantian. its mostly located below your navel. Its ... |
