The Old Gold Classical Literature.

Once read, novels will remain on the list with a rating and a short review.

These are the translations on WuxiaSociety.

On most occasions, I tend to read 1/3~ of a novel to get a feel of things. These are [completed] some personal favorites and some to pass time. A small summary of the novel which may contain spoilers!... more>>

I started out with Wuxia and explored other genre like Xianxia and Xianhuan. Not a ranking list btw ^^;;

Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng... etc, all great. <<less

Wuxia: Martial arts, but nothing else, People practice martial arts. They are mortals and their goal is not to be immortal.
Xianxia: Wuxia + C-nese magic-based mainly on Daoism
Xuanhuan: eastern fantasy, Might have cultivation, but it's more fantasy than anything... more>>

My recommended Wuxia story [Which is QT but all the worlds are related to this genre]

[No CP] [Comprehensive Martial Arts] My life will stop  【无CP】[综武侠]吾命将休

[Comprehensive] Zhao Ru Sun and Moon_Little Fox Xili [End + Fan Wai]     [综]昭如日月_小狐昔里【完结+番外】

A favorite Korean manhua  -> Trinity Wonder

Jianghu/kangho: the most generalised answer is “The part of the world the imperial court doesn’t have direct jurisdiction over.” You are talking about brothels, gangs, bandits, slums, the underworld, rogue disciples from various sects and more. There's no order and rife with crime. It's like taobao, lol. Wulin/murim: refers to specifically and only to martial arts schools/sects/cults etc. The wulin is considered the refined, respected and virtuous people in society; they're also placed higher on the hierarchy. There's order. If jianghu is taobao, Wulin is Tmall.

Legit wuxia (the only wuxia series translated) with some semblance of martial arts, not cultivation and alchemy. These are not level up, face-slapping or MC... more>> d*ck polishing. You want chivalry? Schemes? Minimal "boom, bang, crash" sequences for combat and actual combat descriptions? I have you covered. The main themes are brotherhood, family, history, conspiracy, solving mysteries, romance and chivalry <<less

a lot of the novels i've finished reading have good start, good execution, but abrupt or outright tasteless ending. Luckily, some still have decent, (or at least semi decent ) endings.... more>>

Novels in this list will meet at least one of these two main criteria

- most of the loose ends are tied, either before or after the final event/fight

- at least one full chapter of epilogue/aftermath

- <<less
