Dear all, In this section, we will have all Xianxia except for the Big 3 (Jinyong, Gulong, Liang Yusheng). Q & A
Q) How do we know if a fantasy story is a Xianxia or Xuanhua/ Xiuzhen?A1) As long as the story isn't a Hero with martial hero, or the setting isn't in a Wulin/ Jianghu fraternity (period setting), there a high chance that it is not a xianxia but other main genres. Other alternative universe story is 100% a non-xianxia. A2) Main MC is a anti-hero. Xia means hero. There no way a MC that goes around doing selfish deeds and killing people recklessly can be call a hero. A3) Just like wuxia takes place in the Martial Fraternity (Wulin)/ Jianghu (Pugilistic Fraternity), xianxia takes place in a Celestial Fraternity with celestial clans alongside the Martial Fraternity. A4) Xianxia doesn't mean Immortal Hero. That is an incorrect direct translation. A5) If the focus of the story is mainly a cultivation thing, then it is a mainly Xiuzhen/ Xuanhuan story.
The house rules are simple, so enjoy all!
