I'm looking for well-written cultivation novels with no cliche dramas.Also no op shits or cheats and male protagonist.Don't recommend LOHP.Give me something like WoC/PTH or Spirit Sword Mountain.
Looking for cultivation novels..
zhaojun he asked for no male protagonist even though that's a pretty good book
SilentMist But isn't Spirit Sword Mountain MC male? Also, he's OP, at least his brain is.
Here's another book with a male protagonist. To summarize, it's about a reincarnator (protag) Vs the "hero" character with his incredible plot armor.

allenguarnes sorry, I meant novels with male MC

SilentMist LOL. But currently this forum doesn't allow people to edit after another guy posts. You can edit if no one else replies below you.
EDIT: death sutra is amazingly good btw.
Have you tried any of Er Gen's books? I Shall Seal The Heavens(finished) was pretty good but I'm liking A Will Eternal (being translated) even more.
History's Strongest Senior Brother uses knowledge from a past life to become OP but it's still a very good story. The Desolate Era uses a minor technique to improve his soul and get a headstart but it becomes irrelevant. Nothing really unique about it but still a good read overall.
The Cacooned Cow novels, Martial World and True Martial World, use a soul and energy cheat respectively but their uses are very minimal.
Otherworldly Evil Monarch, in my opinion, is a really good story. The MC does get progressively stronger because of a cheat but there is more focus on the world of the MC rather than the MC himself which makes this so unique. Ze Tian Ji is also one of my favourite stories however people get turned off by how long it takes the MC to actually start cultivating (due to an illness that becomes very relevant). It's a breath of fresh air and I recommend you read it if you can bear an MC that goes about with only his head for about 150 chapters.
Cultivation Chat Group follows the life of a modern student who accidentally stumbles into a chat group of immortals. His cultivation life begins and we see how he adapts his modern way of life into cultivation (a popular example being how he uses a rice cooker as a pill cauldron). The story itself is fairly light-hearted (not slapstick like LOHP) but also a read I'd recommend.
Pivot of the Sky is more about unravelling the truth of how the current cultivation system came to be and how the MC practices the original cultivation system as it was supposed to be. It's only on like chapter 88 or something but I think the story will go a lot deeper. Personally, I'd hold off reading it until it lives up to its expectations because you might lose interest in it whilst it's being translated.
Ugh... I'd write more but I've lost my energy... Just take a look at my reading list and flick through the pages.
Neverfire7 I have already read those mainstream novels.Now,I am just reading what I ignored like History's Strongest Senior Brother.
Thx for the recommendations.
zhaojun my english is very poor.so it's just my fault.i am a fan of death sutra from china.
SilentMist
My bad my bad, by cultivation novel I thought you meant 'typical xianxia' as a genre i.e. set in a world of sects then MC ascends etc.
Remember to look at the 'CN' section of my reading list. Although I don't keep up with some of them, they still have some pretty good (or trashy) novels e.g. World of Cultivation and TTNH.
Hope your search goes well!
zhaojun yes. Translation team currently doing death sutra is doing a phenomenal job. More people should read death sutra.
Kingfisher I love the restrained emotions in Death Sutra especially.it just like the surging waves hide the peaceful ice surface.May be the most people don't like this novel,but i can be it's firmest supporter.

zhaojun Are you chinese??
I haven't really started reading Death Sutra cuz there are only 100 something chapters translated.
Do you have any other awesome novels you like?

zhaojun Now I want to read The Snowy Path of the Heroic Blade... I guess I should start Gu Daoist Master as well, loads of people keep praising it as well as Death Sutra.
Neverfire7 volume 1 2 3 4 and most of 5 is great.current chapters is a little bad but still better than so-called most popular novels.volume 5 is on going .i guess it should have volume 6.

Have you read 'Heaven's Shadow/Tian Ying'? It's the best Xianxia novel I have ever read! It's a very immersive novel, has a ruthless yet good protagonist.
If you want an Ice Cold protagonist read 'Reverend Insanity', the novel also has a unique power system and it's an excellent novel too.
Er Gen's novels are also very good.
I'm yet to read 'A record of Mortal's journey to immortality', 'Ze Tian Ji', 'Pivot of the sky', 'Legend of the Cultivation' 'God', 'WoC', and 'Grasping Evil' but they all come with a lot of recommendations
SilentMist seeing as you like woc i would recommend Avalon of five elements. It's by the same author and it is set in the same world.
