Xianxia and xuanhuan are two of the best genres you can find in chinese webnovel.
Please stop adding cultivation novels ffs !
Qidian has a huge amount of potential and in the not so far future will probably start to add more genre's of novels later on
- Edited
OldTimeTea YES, Infinity/Horror/Wizard novels :D
Armand_Targaryen You have a good taste for novels :D .
Armand_Targaryen The novel with which I entered the Original Writer Competition here at Qidian was of that genre.
It was mostly Horror with a bit Love in the Magic World Setting.
But the Horror part only started in the last 2 chapters so maybe they don't see it as a horror-novel currently.
thegreatestleg As it is the bread and butter of the Chinese web novel world.
Coz while there are many Infinity genre in Qidian, there are only a few good ones (Ultimate evolution, Ace evolution and Thriller paradise) and they were mostly already translated.
NineNeatherBird Then Er Gen's works are something you should pick up, if you haven't already. Well, they're also dog eat dog like the rest but the setting is different from the others.
I feel that the site has way too many game element related novels. I actually feel it lacks quality 'Xianxia' novels like 'Heaven's Shadow', 'ISSTH', etc. Even the ones on the queue don't inspire confidence.
Post any novel, if you don't like a specific kind don't read it! Hot dayum cant demand something of others cause you don't want it
I'm still waiting for the Sports category to start filling up :P

yep, kind of tired of all the cultivation novels. One after another, where they all find an opportunity and begins to get stronger, then they encounter some villains which they beat etc etc. DAMN tired
The biggest genre in china is apparently xianxia/xuanhuan.
Why don't you go read western and wait for more meanwhile?
Two of my favorites here are Perfect Secret Love and Trial Marriage Husband, neither of which are cultivation. I read a lot of the cultivation stories though usually until they get into tedious formulaic loops of power up> fight new higher level bad guy>power up>fight new higher level bad guy... As long as a story has something outside of that never ending loop, I usually keep reading.

Agree that there should be more kinds of novels. I do like the infinity genre, or at least the idea of it, but there are very few good ones and even then they aren't too great. UE has too much info dumps, and I don't care for all the scheming and the main fouces to be the background information. Not Qidian, but IA was okay at the start, but had too many calculations and too many sermons about human nature. The rest are just power fantasies that can't pace themselves, with too many having data bodies and calculated damage. Devils Cage it okay, and while it had the typical lone wolf smart protagonist with plot armor his p personality is likable and had some friends.

Hi, my name is oneshotwonder, and I am the translator of the Tempest of the Battlefield (https://www.webnovel.com/book/6838665602003205/Tempest-of-the-Battlefield)
Like many of you, I am getting slightly bored of the cultivation stories. Luckily, Tempest of the Battlefield has some sci-fi elements in it, so it is unique in that sense. You should definitely check it out if you are looking for something different.
If you are interested in D&D style stories. I am currently working on an original piece called "Rolf the Barbarian Battle-mage." I envisioned it to be a combination of Conan the Barbarian and the Game of Thrones. You can check out the chapters that I have done so far on my personal blogger: http://onlyfictionnobullshit.blogspot.ca/?view=magazine

Also, I don’t have an editor so expect some jarring spelling mistakes. Lol

The only reason I am reading Chinese webnovels is for cultivation. I can find everything else in English, with stories of a far better quality.
If you look at how the Voting System works... I think if they ever put one.. it might be the last to get a release
