That’s the problem, I love wuxia, I love stupid power levels and all that, I love my trash comics. It’s the story they tell alongside that that irks me to no end.

Close to zero decent dialogue between people besides shitty villains talking big until the hero flips his eyelash and suddenly everyone is bowing to them. There’s no interesting characters, no banter.

To give some examples of wuxia done right (I like the top batch more but the other ones are alright):

Return of the mount hua sect Infinite levelling: murim Return of the crazy demon Nano machine Absolute sword sense Star instructor or something

I reincarnated as the crazed heir Path of the shaman

Half wuxia: Murim login

All of these have a mc with personality, there’s decent banter between characters, there’s an interesting plot, plot changes make sense…

There’s also the “dungeon” theme with portals that grew in popularity since solo levelling (around then) that is basically the same trash plot with another power level vector.
