Having to share a world with large numbers of stupid people who believe in a false god has a way of wearing you down.

Ever been told you should be boycotting a particular author you like, and that you're in the wrong for not doing so?

>be me
>read "A Very Cliche Xianxia Harem Story"
>starts off good, typical harsh master, inheritance, home city destroyed stuff
>immediately drops any focus on actual cultivation afterwards
>no focus on cultivation or martial arts besides vague progression and jumps of multiple small realms at a time
>MC doesn't even get any new techniques, his basic bitch one just keeps magically evolving, which could be good, but the author doesn't even give any attention to how the White Venom Fist evolves
>no harem either - this is a positive but come the fuck on it's in the title
>it's just a focus on vague politics and constant bullshit

I've read better western cultivation WNs from authors who admit to not reading xianxia at all

I'm just gonna go re-read RMJI

For a while I didn't quite understand "read the greeks". I thought it was a meme phrase for a different reason than it is. As a child I read the odyssey, the 12 labours, Gyges and the Ring, basically all the major greek myths. All my friends did, too. It was as normal as reading local fables about the descendants of our local kings going on epic quests to iron/diamond/glass mountains.

En un pueblo de Molobica, olvidado por los grandes eventos del mundo, en medio de virginales lomas y selváticas bosqueradas, se ubica nuestra historia.
Atravesando dos días de viaje en caminos de herradura, pivoteados solamente por embarcaciones de burras y mulas guiadas por arrieros diestros en navegar dichas tierras.
Había una pequeña villa, no mayor a unas 20 casas, que servia de paso para pernoctar las travesías que llevaban a la gente a buscar el dorado por esas tierras perdidas.

Creen que tenga talento para escribir?

So a husband (a painter lol) gets cucked by wife, and this book is basically him simping through, literally epic moving mountain tier simp just to get his now pozzed roastie back.

>a roastie or a coomer telling me to grow up

>get recommended Ave Xia Rem Y, literally self-described "A Very Cliche Xianxia Harem Story"
>there's barely any focus on cultivation or techniques
>mc repeatedly jumps realms offscreen without even the major realm breakthroughs getting any fanfare
>it's 90% in-sect faggot political drama
>there's a whole arc where it's just dealing with some dipshit nobody's roided heart devil and it has no consequences

I like the ghost snakes but come the fuck on man

Is this what's going on in your heads? Is this your reaction to someone who can write a paragraph? You are all retarded.

>turning anti-modernist literature into a commodity so you can have le heckin based trad boi persona yet drown in impotency anyway and you wont understand the true meaning of the books and we all know this because you still make posts called rate my spread and the very fact that that is embarrassingly ironic is wholly lost on you but when people of a higher ranks tell you to shut up you'll once again reassert your ignorance forever in an endless loop until it totally fills up the one space we have to try and disseminate information and propaganda thus when people google search capital T Traditionalism they dont see results for cogent ideologically delicate material they see pictures of cute girls standing in cornfields with vhs tape filters over them because you fucking retarded idiots also got the bright idea to try to jump in on the meme creation side which you once again think is about fulfilling some sort of childish play pretend world and basically you are just the kid who ruined every game of "house" because you played too many nintendo games or rpgs or read too much narnia or something so you created a whole shitty recycled narrative in your head and derailed the entire game in a useless attempt to somehow spontaneously get everyone to just start acting out the delusion you have in your head except we're all grown ass men and im probably going to end up getting drafted for the wrong side or put in a labor camp because of your tactlessness or worse we are going to epically miss an opportunity for momentum for another century+.
