It’s impossible to please everyone, but a story is much more than just that one element. Only by giving it a chance can someone truly form an opinion and understand its “flavor.”

It’s like telling a child they won’t die if they try a few vegetables… lol, something along those lines.

Thanks for the humor, Anonjohn20. I hope you’ll give my story a chance.

Cultivation fantasy seems like it should be a lot like game system litrpg. A protagonist's path, weak to strong, just with different set of rules. But every cultivation story I've started feels kinda "off". I not making any translation accusations (God forbid) but too often the situations and dialog feel misaligned. Too much emotion over something trivial or reactions that seem foreign to what I'd normally expect. My gut says it's a cultural difference or the author writing in a non-native language and something is being lost. Sadly, this has made me hesitant to explore the genre.

Yes, Time4T, the cultivation and progression genre does share certain similarities with system-based LitRPG, especially in terms of character development and class evolution.

For example, in Ragnarok, the classic RPG, you begin as a Novice before becoming a Warrior, and eventually advance into higher-tier classes with greater abilities and power.

Additionally, throughout the story, I draw a comparison between the cultivator ranking system and the classification system from the world of a particular character. That system resembles item rarity tiers commonly found in games, such as: common, normal, magic, rare, epic, legendary, and unique. These categories parallel the cultivation ranks that will be explored in the narrative.

As a Western writer, I aim to blend Eastern and Western elements in my story. That is why you will find names and concepts with both Eastern and Western origins. As the story progresses, these connections and distinctions will be explained in greater detail.

If you decide to give it a chance, I would truly appreciate seeing your thoughts in the comments as well. Thank you for your interest in the story!
