Sword Xia of the Shu Mountains《蜀山劍俠傳》by Huanzhu Louzhu 還珠樓主 (lit. Master of Returning Pearl Loft) was published between 1932 and 1948 and is one of the most influential wuxia novels of all time. Many of the elements in this novel became standard tropes of the wuxia genre. It is also the forefather of the modern xianxia cultivation novel. Huanzhu’s cultivation system became the standard, fusing the Daoist quest for transcendence with the Buddhist reincarnation cycle and tribulation system, as well as the Confucian virtue of humaneness 仁 and the chivalrous xia 俠 archetype. At over 4.1 million Chinese characters, it is also one of the longest wuxia novels, though it remains unfinished due to the civil war in China. So the first cultivation novel was also eunuched—rather fitting.
The story follows multiple protagonists as they gradually gather together, fighting heretical sects and spirit elementals on their way to founding the Mount Emei Sect. Most outstanding among these protagonists is Li Yingqiong, who begins the novel as a girl with no martial arts abilities, and through the course of the novel cultivates to become a transcendent (aka immortal).
In this novel, plants, animals, and monsters can all become human and cultivate to transcendence, or lose their primordial spirit (aka nascent soul) and have to start all over, or be obliterated completely after failing their tribulation. Grotto-heavens and magic treasures abound, and we see the beginning of sects as major organizations in wuxia novels with important roles in the plot, such as Emei, Qingcheng, Mount Hua, Wudang, Mount Huang, Snowy Mountain, Kongtong, Kunlun, and Wutai, as well as the emergence of what would later become the archetypal eccentric beggar character. There are miraculous drugs, sword kinesis, and battles between mythical beasts, and heretic cultivators trying to cheat their way to a faster transcendence. In short, pretty much all of the elements one normally sees in the typical xianxia cultivation webnovel.
No female lead but with a romantic subplot; not a saint or brainless character (as much as possible); villainous male lead.
Beyond the thirty-three heavens, beyond the nine layers of clouds dwell immortals.
Immortals were originally mortals, but the only problem is that mortals lack firm resolve.
Thirty years of human desolation, Cheng Liang only wishes to pursue herself.
"A wild girl from the streets suddenly becomes a living Yama? Su Qi merely saved a child rolling his eyes in a dilapidated temple, yet she uncovered a series of bloody cases—black blood seeped from the coffin of an old woman at the village entrance, sharp teeth grew on the clay statues in the local temple, and most horrifyingly, the blue spots on the child's neck were exactly the same as the wounds her wet nurse suffered before her death. Until half a page of the Qingnang Notes popped up in the system space: 'The day the Heart-Eating Gu revives will be the beginning of the end for medical cults.' When she used the spiritual energy of the medicinal veins to activate the thousand-year-old ginseng and used needles to nail the vengeful ghosts attached to the woman in labor into a sieve, the truth hidden beneath the tide of cults finally surfaced—those who besieged the Qingnang Sect a hundred years ago were not the Alliance of Cults, but traitors of the medical path controlled by the Heart-Eating Gu! Watch as the little female doctor, stepping over the corpses of cults, rises from a poor girl gathering herbs to become the healer of the world's medical alliance!"

A virtual reality game called "Whale Fall" becomes a global sensation. The protagonist, Su Zhou, drawn by its popularity, decides to enter the game. However, he and the other players soon discover a shocking truth: this is no mere game. The world of "Whale Fall" is a real, tangible, and often cruel place. The title itself is a metaphor, posing the question of whether this entire world is sustained by the sacrifice of a single, great entity, much like a whale's body nourishes an ecosystem after its death.
Now trapped in a genuine other world, the players, often referred to as the "Fourth Scourge," must confront this new reality. They are forced to fight for survival, grow stronger, and uncover the deep, buried truths behind the so-called game. The story explores their journey of facing this reality and deciding whether to accept their responsibility within it.
Normal starting monster combination: Gomora + Elekoh + Bemundstan. Cheating starting monster combination: Hyperzetton + EX Tyrant + Maga Orochi. Lin Jun's starting monster combination: Cosmic Cat x3. "Hahaha, great, I'm dead this time." Inheriting the power of an Ultimate Life Form sounds great, and it is indeed great, but it's a different story if that Ultimate Life Form is from Rebrad. Do you think you can steal Oldman's gold? However, the fact is that Oldman has been eyeing your piggy bank for a long time, waiting for you to enter this pig-killing scheme. In short, for Lin Jun, who inexplicably appeared on Hama Planet, this magnificent universe is far more beautiful and more dangerous than he imagined. "But even so, I will still choose to fight for others, even if I am not Ultraman of Light."
Originally, there were no ghosts in the world, but when many believed in them, they appeared in people's hearts.
That night, the rain poured down in the Land of Rivers. Sousuke crawled out from a pile of corpses and understood a truth: in the ninja world, life has a price tag. A bowl of coarse rice porridge costs 40 ryo, a bottle of silver liquid costs 200 ryo, and a gangster boss's leg costs 10,000 ryo. Since heaven had given him hands capable of creating gold and silver, he not only had to survive, but also buy the most expensive thing in the world—power. From a wanderer in the Land of Rivers to the underground emperor of Konoha, Sousuke's path was paved with gold and silver, and also with blood and flesh.

This is a story about a magical girl who saves the world at QB's urging... Well, Xiaxia, who has been resurrected as a loli, isn't interested in any of that. All she cares about right now is: "...How much karma points do I need to redeem my original body...?" [I think you should consider the main problem you're facing right now~ (PS, if you need more points, please continue your contract with me. You know, QB is...)] Ignoring the persuasive content, Xiaxia stared at her pitiful karma points. Perhaps she still needs to work harder... [A lifetime. So, march towards the goal of slaying dragons, girl! This is your main quest for graduation!] "...Shut up!"
