I just read one chapter of the number 1 cultivation novel on a whim. In the words of Steve Harvey, "It was everything I thought it was gonna be!!"
Gaston wants to know your location
you may need to try some good ones then if you think all are bland and predictable
To be fair, good ones are also predictable.
I think what you are observing is what many of us observe also. The same problems. I was at first fascinated with Xianxia type of stories. But when I read them they are all the same. Like you said, the plots are too predictable.
The funny thing is, all those "reincarnated as evil young master" that were supposed to subvert it all don't do shit. MCs in those stories are the same kind of assholes really. The difference is, one layer of hypocrisy was peeled, but there are still many left.
it really depend though imo, there cliche but some of them invented those cliche
It's not only cliches that are the problem. Example. When I was reading ATG back on WuxiaWorld while WW was still free, 80% of the comments were guessing what will happen next correctly. Some of those guesses were about cliches, sure, but some of those were Tobi is Obito kind of mysteries that they guessed correctly. You get what I mean here? If you get it, that's what I meant by saying cultivation stories are predictable. There are outliers, but exceptions prove the rule.
Well there exception everywhere, in ATG there was some predictable plot, but there also some you didn't though would happen, like the brahma bitch. But, yes, a lot of them are predictable, that why I said the good ones like martial world or reverend insanity.
I don't know man, I predicted everything. Humble brag.
predictable. LOL
Get ready for a story in which antagonists have the most shallow reasons for going after MC.
What the hell??? He... he JUST LIKE ME FR FR ??
Korean slop is also regression stories.
Japanese slop is also isekai feudalism bureaucracy that suspiciously reminds you of Japanese bureaucracy.
I can read the words "Adventurer's Guild" and never have a problem. But every time I see the word Hunter I die a little more on the inside.Gates.
If you look at the top novels, many of them are Xianxia and Wuxia. There are many people who are too vocal about them because the majority end up being the same thing. However, as long as you write it with passion and like what you write yourself, cultivation novels have a lot of potential.
