Never been to /lit/ before. I'm about to finish this series. I really liked it. Any suggestions for something similar?

It looks like fantasy/wuxia. Try asking in /sffg/ >>16799897

It's not fantasy, but you might like Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa. Epic samurai story based on the life of Japan's best swordsman.

Ah, yeah. It's very Wuxia. Has a lot of the foundations in it that would go on to influence video games like Age of Wushu. Beggar's Sect. Taoist swordsmen. Meridians and pressure points. Internal kung fu and external kung fu. Very archetypal.
Thanks for the suggestion.

A more literary chinese book that has a lot of folklore in it that I'd recommend is Red Sorghum by Mo Yan
