Cultivating Common Sense In A Xianxia World by JohnPLoveRaft

There are no Sects. There are no Elders. There are no Systems. There are no Cheats.

I've read three hundred cultivation novels. I know exactly how this is supposed to go — find a cave, discover an ancient manual, join a sect, climb the ranks, avoid dangerous jade beauties, and punch a god.

None of that exists here.

Sects haven't been built yet.

I wasn't lucky enough to be given a snarky System to track my progression.

I wasn't given a golden finger to bypass my lack of talent.

I instead, was transmigrated into a fifteen-year-old farmer's body in a world where cultivation is unregulated and nobody has figured out how to master it, let alone teach it.

I'm in a world full of warlords conscripting farmers into meat grinders and cultivators operating like weapons of mass destruction.

Yea, this isn't the transmigration I was hoping for. I need to throw all the tropes I've read out of the window, because I am in a predicament that no one else has ever been in before.

But on the bright side, I can now introduce some Common Sense into this world.

***

What to expect:

◈ Rational, strategic male MC — no power fantasies, no plot armor, every advantage earned

◈ Pre-sect xianxia worldbuilding — cultivation exists, institutions don't, the MC builds them from scratch

◈ Kingdom building , clan building , sect founding — village to settlement to sect progression

◈ Progression fantasy with real costs — every gain is paid for, every system is tested

◈ Cozy village life meets warring states tension

◈ 2,000-3,000 word chapters

◈ Daily updates, three-chapter bonus drops on milestone days

◈ This is a long-form serial — settle in Collapse

        english xianxia, it will 1. get dropped, 2. the updates are going to be 1-2 per week so by the time it's chapter 300, it will become boring asf to wait for new chapters and will inevitably get dropped, or 3. you let chapters stack, but by the time you want to read it all volume 1 will be behing paywall (amazon)

    sigh... could've been worse, at least he didnt reinccarnate unto a girl in a mountain village and get killed in a horrundous way to help someone else cultivate a rank faster.

    anyway lets poison test it after it reach 100 chapters !!!

    And, the very "unique" English novel-wuxia, in which "there are no stereotypes" and in which "everything is realistic"? Well... Let's hope that this time it will be at least edible.

    The author promises a lot. If he can do everything he wants, I'm sure he'll be in the top 20 novels on the list.

    I've read three hundred novels about cultivators, and I've realized that there are no sects, no elders, no cultivators! All this is unrestrained self-flattery, spurred on by boundless fantasy and ego! This is not a battle between a dragon and a phoenix, this is a half-bald rooster kicking a stunted snake. This is not a battle of cultivators, but a fight of local hooligans in the village dust on the outskirts. This is not the Heavenly Emperor, but the head of the gang from the neighboring mountain!

    Is it just me or does new novels in the home stick for a very short time nowadays as compared to before where only new novels which were popular and accepted by the viewers sticked. If so I preferred the previous one as logging in everyday and seeing a new novel feels somewhat disorienting.

      What are you on? It depended on chance what novel was on the homepage.

      The reason for the change is that instead of the monthly drop of around 30 novels we now get a new novel whenever panic gets its hands on it.

        Bro, I ain't stupid😭.
        I am saying that seeing novels come and go on the homepage as compared to before where the most popular ones would stick around for a while and be changed weekly, feels weird cause I'd gotten used to it.

    First of all as of writing in ranobes there are only 32 chapters out so more time will be needed but from the 32 chapter

    1) we have the shounen duo but instead of rivals brothers (MC calm & collected while his twin is hot/passionate & talented basically a naruto)

    2) there was no fighting first 20 chapters so fans of that will be disappointed

    3) there will be death of charterers and sad moment with a beautiful quote "There is no greater victory, than to fall from this world….surrounded by family".

    4) The story starts with mc usual inner monologue comparing themselves to actual cn plot lines and complaining but as chapters go you see him actually getting the hang of it and improving

    So if you have enough free time to read this go and read it
