Anyone read Asian Wuxia/Xianxia/litRPGs?

http://www.novelupdates.com/series-ranking/

Bad thing about the whole thing is that they are pretty predictable especially if you read enough of them. The fundamental plot/mechanics of the genre I mentioned are training/grinding to pass/solve a conflict. Wuxia are sometimes close to fantasy dependent on the plot delivery. Wuxia are generally close to medieval shit/middle ages weaponry. Xianxia/LitRPGs generally fall into fantasy (sword and shit instead of Asimovian polemics/technology) genre. They're good enough to pass time though and generally dependent on your interest.

They're more akin to mainstream manga.

I probably liked 3 Xianxia and 1 Wuxia from the load of shit I've read from the two genre. I'm interested on litRPG though since >>>/v/idya so I have quite a few novels I go back to.

First time I've come across this. Thank you.

I poked around a bit on the site. The titles combined with the descriptions make it all sound heavily formulaic. As you said this can make it repetitive. Still, formulaic is not in of itself a bad thing. It's all in how you make use of the forms. An additional challenge is that they are all obviously non-English works. Even the best of a series can be FUBAR through an indifferent translator.

If you have any recommendations for a completed series I'd like to know. Preferably something not too long as I have other outstanding commitments to read and review.

Otherwise I'll tool around a bit with it and see if I can stumble on something good.

No puzzles, no interesting story structures? What kind of RPGs are these?

The point of that was that all endings are equally final, so none of them could have obviously been the best.
