I have to say that as someone that's read Wuxia novels this game is a pretty good Representation of... All of that. ("Jade like beauty" is a VERY popular descriptor for Fl)
😂can't wait for the young master expansion
@@brocrow1266 ah you've heard of the "court of death" dlc that's coming out? I've heard it takes place on Mt. Tai! /J
Haha yea and if you defeat the young master he will do one of two things threaten you or try to bribe you. but whatever you chose his big brother comes to defend the honour of his sect
As a note on the jade-like thing, while we think of jade as green in the west, it also comes in white forms, so "jade-like" skin, would be similar to "snow white", it also refers to a lack of zits, freckles, warts, or anything else making the skin not smooth.
it also a very popular descriptor for a character that will get kidnap, refined in to a pill and eaten so that the MC has a excuse to slaughter a whole sect/family. The ammount of times that Romantic interests get a variation of that, is soo large that it made me drop the genre as a whole, as all ships eventually get killed one way or another, the lucky ones get a quick a death and the unlucky ones get r*d first or get turned in to a pill, maybe both.
The only cultivation novel i can endure right now is cultivation chat group because it is a parody and they don't do that shit, the worst it happened is that one FI got turned in to one of MC's spiritual organ and is considered the same person as MC now, sharing memories and senses, but hey they at least are together... as the same being, with the same senses, the same memories and slowly but surely the same personality

This the best representation of Daoism in any form of media
More like representation of xinaxia genre
Wait, so that form of cultivation centered around belief... Oh my God... THE EMPEROR IS A CULTIVATOR
No wonder he's crippled on the throne. The Golden Throne fengxui is all over the place. The room is metal only, it lacks supporting elements. They need Dorn to return to fix it, feed him some laxatives.
Xianxia (the actual sub-genre of Wuxia this game is based on) is the kind of genre that only makes sense and does not seem schizophrenic after you have brain rot from excessively reading them. I have that type of brain rot, I have not exactly finished any yet, but I am currently trying to finish one. And I think the thing that makes me enjoy them is the scale of the genre.
There are plenty of over the top works of fiction regardless of which culture the author comes from, but the Chinese Xianxia genre is next fucking level. It is usually midway through at most before the main protagonist has the power of a god and is fighting other characters with the power of a god. And by "power of a god" I mean planets can be destroyed by a fight between cultivators in a Xianxia novel, and that is just the lower end of just how insane the scale is in novels of this genre. Frequently, by the end of the novel the power of the characters is strong enough to destroy universes.
There are of course non-Xianxia works of fiction that have such insane scales of power, but it feels like Xianxia has a disproportionate number of works that depict such scale.
This game actually seems sane compared to half of the shit that happens in the actual novels and manhuas (Chinese equivalent of manga).
My problem with such stories is their start and way of progression
I like "Zero to Hero" stories, were the MC starts with nothing,
But becomes stronger through sheer dedication
I often end up dropping them because they're either still not actually doing anything important by chapter 245 or because went off into some weird direction that basically abandons the entire original premise
I stopped reading manhuas ages ago. The main characters are so arrogant it's annoying plus the plot is shit in most of them.
I read quite a few :)
That or they really like to lean into "power creeping" to the point where the MC eventually goes to another place where the strongest of his home are equal to the weakest there.
Bought the game and let me warn you guys, it's fun, weird, BUT you will fail harder than rimworld on steroids 90% of the time. But still worth the suffering for the phallus harvest.
Still really fun though like you said.
“Punch trees for profit.” Every Minecraft player knows this
SsethTzeentach's videos never fail to make me go 'What' more than once in a given episode. Though the exact 'what' can range anything from 'What....' to 'WHAT?!' to 'Whaa' and so forth.
Now WE want a playthrough
Yeah, in cultivation everything can literally cultivate. Certain things can't though... a normal wall being one of them. The game goes a bit crazy on what can gain sentience.
One of the main things that actually come from the original legends, Son Wukong/Son/Goku/the Monkey King started as a random rock, then a monkey, then an immortal.
@@ticklezcat5191 Well that I know, but I don't think a 'just' a house wall became sentient, usually it's buildings (usually towers or pagoda's)
And I would be surprised if any novel had the concept of poop becoming sentient. I won't say it absolutely doesn't exist... I... just kind of hope it doesn't.
@@okairo Considering the resent upswing in english language Xianxia I've seen, which has already heavily cross-pollinated with isekai, it's only a matter of time before we get a webnovel about a cultivating pile of feces.

One thing that always bugged me about the genre is the comparisons often made between the Force from Star Wars and Chi in Daoism. There are even similarities with Jedi vs Sith conflict and the Orthodox path vs Demonic path in the fiction (though admittedly, there are a lot more asshole Orthodox cultivators than there are asshole Jedis). So why aren't there any crossover (official or fan-made) series about a Jedi Knight getting lost in a cultivation universe, or vice versa. Is there one? You think someone would have made one by now.
Dude I once found a fanfic about Adrian Shephard from Half Life being sent into MLP land. There has to be something out there
Because of the different cultures behind the 2.
For Cultivation; anyone has the potential to cultivate and become a Cultivator. Someone could still have horrible potential as a Cultivator, but he can still cultivate to become one.
For Jedi/Sith, even Superheroes: It's pre-determined. Not everyone can become a Jedi, Sith or a Superhero. They can try, but will always fail. Cultivation doesn't work this way.
There also cannot be a crossover because a very powerful Cultivator can squash a Jedi or a Sith with the flick of their hand, or if they're extremely more powerful, they can simply kill someone by unleashing a domain. A Cultivator wouldn't even need a spaceship to travel through space as Qi would provide them with everything for life.
And the difference between Orthodox and Demonic the way a cultivator cultivates. You can be a Cultivator who cultivates purely through sex, and you could be labelled as a demonic cultivator purely out of not cultivating the same way as the majority. (Different novels have different explanations of what constitutes each side)
As for the "Orthodox" being assholes... 1 novel character I remember said and it makes the best sense: Demonic Cultivator show their true selves and do not attempt to hide it. While the "Righeous" Sects and Cultivators hide their dark side behind fake honor and chivalry, but they won't hesitate to stab a friend in the back and the same demonic cultivator saying this mocks them by saying that at least the Demonic Cultivators don't lie to the people.
A good manga/manhwa that shows this is Cultivator vs Superheroes. (the whole cultivation vs hero system)
@@okairo All valid points and I'm aware of them, but I'm still puzzled as to why no one has tried to combine the two. The Force and Chi are both universal energies that permeate through all things and are, superficially, similar; so it's not too much of a hassle to say that one is related to the other or works similarly. I read the Cultivator vs Superheroes one, but the question stands on why I haven't heard of any really good, or at least infamously bad, series about Star Wars and Cultivation. If there can be a fan-fiction crossover work between My Little Pony and the Warhammer 40K universe, and a professionally made crossover movie between the Justice League and RWBY (none of them makes any sense to me to combine other than for the shock value and mild horror), why isn't there one about Obi-Wan reincarnating and becoming a Sect disciple somewhere, or Gu Changge slapping Emperor Palpatine through the Death Star.
I would like to point out that Daoism is literally one of the religions that inspired George Lucas when making the Jedi. As well as Buddhism.
Wuxia (武侠, wǔxiá) woo-sh(y)a ['martial heroes', referring to the genre of fiction where martial artists adventure in Ancient China] is different from wushu (武術, wǔshù) which is martial arts.
I have read Cultivation novels, aka Wuxia, Xianxia and Xuanhuan novels, and yes, its sometime hilarious and sometime just Just DIE already. But some are very interesting to read.
My recommendations;
1. I shall seal the Heavens (very good story but just a 1 off for me, i might read it again)
2. Renegade Immortal (Hell Yeah)
(RI and ISSTH, interact in small part because they are part of the same Universe)
3. Desolate Era (I highly enjoyed this one and read it twice)
4. Warlock of the Magus World (I read this thing 3 times...)
5. Yama Rising (very funny :) but the drawback is the story is very draw out when reading)
6. A Will Eternal (Connected to RI and ISSTH in small part because same universe, Very funny and silly but serious when needed).
I can recommend Divine Throne of Primordial Blood, maybe only novel where entire cultivation NOT focused on restoring/finding ancient as fuck inheritance, instead MC bring some innovation, and while various inherited things helping they don't Define MC and his path
@@Interitus-3Trinum-1Aeternus-0 I’ll recommend Virtuous Sons. It swaps out ancient china as a setting with Ancient Greece and trades daoism for Greek myth and philosophy.
It has 2 protagonists and I would describe it as maybe the most properly epic cultivation story I’ve yet read
I also recommend Forge of Destiny. Female MC who has a much smaller protagonist halo. Instead of a revolving door of “talented young masters” we have a pretty steady cast of people keeping pace with the MC or that the MC is consistently working to catch up with. The story goes pretty in depth on the politics and worldbuilding. The cultivation system also has some neat stuff going on as they progress.
Hell yeah Sseth
I CATO SICARIUS IS THE MOST ENLIGHTENED OF ALL ULTRAMARINES.
That you are not my friend. For this is true and all truths are lies.
I CAST FIST
I am Alpharius. This is a lie.
@@arthurhucksake2665 WE are alpharius.
@@crustybomb115these are a lie
Sseth's Evenicle review is something you should "experience" >:)
"is like a bowling ball because... that's right, three of them!"
11:00 yep thats basically the coherency of every chinese manga wannabe comic and most korean ones especially if they have "murim" anywhere in the summary and usually even if they don't, thats assuming that its even well or competently translated. People that complain about plots in japanese works (usually anime where plots are actually simplified) let me tell you Japanese works are actually super fucking coherent when compared to chinese copy pasta comics and i do mean C/P as they often have he exact same progression of their non-plots , characters designs(sometimes as little as name is swapped) and even art.
Am I the only one that feels like they now have to sift through 20 copy-paste murim comics until they actually find a decent manga or manhua on manga sites these days?
@@abjectlyterrible No. The only decent cultivator manga I found was reincarnated as a dog and that was after going through tons of copy past xinaxia mangas
You gotta understand the main media should I say for these kind of content are novels, maybe only 0.000001% of them are made to manga which is quite obscure media type unlike Japanese manga. As an Chinese reader who have been reading through hundreds of novels, in my native language ofcourse, most novels are over 1mil characters and 3 mil is generally considered as medium length novel with some obscure and unnecessarily long novels over 10 mill, which able to provide unthinkable level of details compare to manga.
And with such a large population, literally millions of writer that are writing, as soon as someone who created a sub genre or extremely successful novels, people are gonna copy it, not literally but with similar structures and plot with their own twist, which often fails miserably with maybe few dozen of them will success, thats why you keep seeing similar one as it was trending
@@abjectlyterriblebcz our market never really cared or focused on manga or anime in that matter, like imagine concentrate 3 mil words novel with over 1000 chapters to just few hundred page of manga or 20 episode of 40 mins anime, unless you have read through the original novel, you often won't understand and missing lots of detail
@@Simon-tr9hv All that detail is usually wasted in increasingly long unnecessary descriptions that are repeated again again and again. you could slash 90% of the words of your typical xianxia novel and you will still get the same with the same level of relevant detail, because i really don't need a very intricate description of a character that dies in the same chapter and is no longer relevant for the rest of the story every fucking time. Japanese trashy iskekai wish fullfillment webnovels are high literature next to the average xianxia novel that has a total of 4 different characters, the mc, woman, senior and young master, if you had luck they may have a fifth different character that is a mix of two of the ones before. All others are exact copy of these 3 archetypes except the mc, but the mc is always the same psycopath MC that will kill all of the villain family members with some generational curse just because the villain was a dick.
Even the good ones with actual characters usually could be written with a tenth of the words they use, to phrase in a way reminiscent of old wisdom:
"They have many words but tell very little"
10:50 is legit most cultivation novels at some point of the story. Like, 99% of them
So you can do organ farming there too
like as a long time reader of cultivation stuff the game seems a fairly close adaptation of the genre lol
Good thing about this reaction, is that it's reacting to the numerous jokes other reactors didn't even notice.
btw if you press c you can toggle subtitles
Wait really
@@PolarisAl-baydalocke for more fun activities press ?
@@genericscottishchannel1603 I shall try this immediately
@@PolarisAl-baydalocke not always accurate or functional tho...
It kinda annoys me that Sseth called it Wuxia, when it's clearly Xianxia. Wuxia is about mortal heroes, political intrigue, and who has the biggest reputation to throw around. Xianxia on the other hand, is about fantastical heroes, achieving immortality, and magical things. Basically, it's low fantasy vs high fantasy, but for the chinese genre. This game is NOT a low-fantasy setting.
TBH the divide between the two is not as clear as you make it to be, I have readed plenty of xianxias where the things that mattered the most where reputation and political intrigue and plenty of wuxias that may as well be very low fantasy xianxia. xianxia most often than not just means high fantasy wuxia. And as i said the divide is not that useful, wuxia usually still has fantastical elements, and xianxia usually still has the political intrigue elements, the divide usually just means that the protagonists will be slicing mountains instead of walls and that they will be mentioned to be 400 years old instead of 40 years old. But that is basically flavour. In essence the stories and the rest work the same, is like comparing spiderman with guardians of the galaxy, yes the stakes are different most of the time, but it is still the same. Wuxia and Xianxia for all intentes and porpoises are the same genre, with the only differenciator being how fantasy-ish it is, which again is not clear.
This is because xianxia is a subgenre of wuxia, so while not all wuxia is xianxia, all xianxia is wuxia.
@@diablo.the.cheater well, consider me schooled. Fascinating how convoluted they have made something as simple as separating two genres of fiction. Lmao.
The 4chan explanation is pretty accurate towards manhua (chinese manga) and chinese cultivation novels. That's just how it rolls, no jokes.
