I was thinking about some stories I'm reading lately and some of them are Xianxia or adjacent, but made by western writers. Where did I lose my way? reading bad Chinese translations was the true Dao...

Anyways, the point to the thread, my first, or at least the fist I remember had fished Xianxia novel was "Warlock in the Magus World", cultivators disguised of wizards, basically, with an open ending and a timeskip at the moment of fighting the final-final-final-hiden boss. (However recommended, at least by the me of ten years ago).


What was your firsts experiences reading xianxia/cultivation/whatever?
//Yes, Naruto is xianxia, but his is not a Naruto thread//
 
Can't remember which but given that I avoided xianxia novels for a long time- novels about meditating for power seemed boring to me- it was probably one of those novels with the protagonist getting a system and living various lives in various worlds with some task tacked on.
 
I think the first proper xianxia web novel for me... was Reverent Insanity aka Gu Master aka do NOT engage with Gu Yue Fang Yuan!
 
The first thing I read in the cultivation genres was Tales of Demons and Gods because the manga(?) stalled and I read in the comments that was a webnovel. Then read a thing here a thing there in Wuxia and eventually fell in Qdian when still was Qdian and not webnovel. The last thing I read was "Crossing to the Future, It's not Easy to be a Man" which is something I didn't expect to see. A cross between cultivation and mechas with a plot marketed for women.
