When  it comes to cultivation novels this is definitely one of the first I can think of. The Legendary Master's Wife is a light and beautiful read for anyone interested in a naïve protagonist and overpowered ML. At it's core it is probably the most xuahuan-like Cultivation novel in the BL fandom translated thus far. It has over 500 chapters for your reading leisure. If you've never read a cultivation novel, this would be a good one to start with. ... more>>

Summary: MC transmigrates into a cultivation world. But what is he to do, he is only a weak chicken?! Luckily for him he has a gold finger...but why does his life saving gold finger come attached with a possessive male lead?! <<less

Novel is written so well, even translated, one can tell the original is a masterful work. ... more>>

Summary: After a suspicious fight, the sect leader MC finds himself reduced a his terrible state, unable to  see or fight back when he is captured by the ML. But though he is unable to fight back, MC will not give into the ML's will, for all the things the MC is, no one can call him weak. <<less

What can I say about this novel? The novel is so well loved, it's been adapted into a manga, an anime, and even a live action tv series. Although, the anime and tv series leave the BL aspect too ambiguous for my tastes, but what can you do about it? In any case, the hype for this novel is well deserved. ... more>>

Summary: MC experienced a tragic life as a demonic cultivator, he was meant to be dead. But ghosts are souls who wander for a home. Our MC is summoned back to the land of the living  and in to possessing  the body of a weak and abused young man. He should have been able execute his revenge of the previous body's abusers and escaped into the night unseen. But whether it is the past or present there is one man who will never let the MC disappear, never again. <<less

Written by the same author of The Founder of Diabolism, the Scum Villian's Self-saving System is also a well written adventure. And though I did enjoy reading the majority of this novel, I find the particular love story  of the MC and ML to be a bit unfathomable. Plus I have a great hatred for the system. Despite that I cannot leave this at the bottom on the list, Mò Xiāng Tóngxiù is too good of a writer! Warnings for Non-con elements!... more>>

Summary: MC transmigrates into a book as a  cannon fodder master killed by his disciple. With an unhelpful system to guide him he tries to navigate this new world and survive.  <<less

I will say this, while it is a novel with cultivation, the progression of the MC'S skills pretty much happens in a few sentences.  It seems to be less about his cultivation journey  and more about the MC and how he views the cultivation world around him. And how others view him in turn. And its a good read. ... more>>

Summary: History notes that there was once a cultivator of great power and knowledge that his legacy still remains in the world. But our MC is not dead yet, many years later he awakens to find the world lacking in simple practice and technique. How will he navigate the world as it is now? <<less

Wow, I am actually unsure if the reader should love or hate either MC or ML. Both of them are crazy... But somehow I don't dislike the way thing progressed. Translated very well, and the story itself is nicely written. Not a masterpiece but a good work none the less.... more>>

Summary: How unlucky, for the most prestigious, and magnanimous character in a novel to be blackened. But, what if you can stop it, what if you the reader could change the story around? What lengths would you go to? And would you dare to fall in love? <<less

Translation is done well so far. The story line is also decent. Even though I am disappointed by some of the spoilers I read, I refuse to let that  sway me from finishing this one. I hope given time, the decisions of the author will make a sense.... more>>

Summary: Our poor MC was blind to those that used him in the past. Now reincarnated, he's determined to use his skills (Seal Cultivation as the title says) for himself. But no second chances are for free.  <<less

I've been reading this one for a while, so putting it on the list is definitely something I can do with confidence. There was one commenter who recommended this be added, and since I had already had it added to my own personal list I decided why not? For reason I can't actually remember I added this novel to my "Probably Won't Finish" List. But, all I can recall now is how nice it is. The plot is nothing unique, but executed decently. And a number of characters are well fleshed out. Pretty sure its worth me picked up again just to see  how the story will progress.... more>>

Summary: MC was the most loyal and obedient to his master, yet his master favored someone else?! Can our MC who travelled to the past uncover the truth? Why did his master's sword pierce him? If it was the will of the heavens then the MC will just have to rewrite the heavens. <<less

1st note that the title is a pun. Don't be turned off completely by the title and the tragedy tag.  I can't give a review yet as not enough chapters are released. But its good so far.... more>>

Summary: The odd thing was, these two should be sworn enemies... But the MC just wants to know, what is this!?! If there is a time, there is a place. If there is a will, there is a way. You only need to find your way and take your place. <<less

In truth I didn't want to add this here as this isn't a true cultivation novel, however many aspect were similar as it is wuxia so I added it anyway. I do so love a story about a protagonist who wants to escape what pressures and labels society puts on them. While that a general way to look at this novel, it's a pretty good summary for it as well. I also like that the MC isn't a floundering fish, but a upright dragon. The translation is passable.... more>>

Summary: It's not that the MC is tired of living, it's just that he's tired of the way he lives. Even if it takes the worse pain imaginable to live freely he will do it.  <<less

Another one not about the cultivation journey but about the experiences the MC and ML have living in the cultivation world. I have actually ready a few bad review for this novel but from what I have read so far, its really not so bad. ... more>>

Summary: MC somehow comes across the blood of the most powerful demon in current time and gets turned into a half demon. He attempt to find the Demon Realm to give that demon a piece of his mind. Who just leaves their blood lying around like that?! With the help of our "mysterious" ML will he be able to cross over to the Demon Realm and find a way to turn fully human again?

MC: "Yes when I see that Demon King I will give him such thrashing!"

ML: "..." <<less
