Before #Xianxia got popular in the West be cause of dramas like Till the End of the Moon and Love Between Fairy and Devil, we watched these types of xianxias, which are based on Chinese mythology. This is 八仙过海 "Eight Immortals Cross the Sea".
Back then, xianxia was about immortals saving the world, not about them falling in love 
.
In #Xianxia, the road to love is littered with ... amnesia.
On my reading blog, I review Peerless Vol. 3 by Meng Xi Shi. Best volume so far, with the gut-wrenching twist typical of the author.

Check out this recent review of my high fantasy indie novel, Sins of a Dying Empire, part of Below the Heavens!
The first two books are available for free (as well as the currently publishing, serialized third book) in web novel form on Royalroad, found in my bio!

Alguns Gêneros de Novels Chinesas
Um pequeno guia para iniciantes no mundo das novels chinesas:
Wuxia
Wuxia significa “heróis marciais” e caracteriza histórias ficcionais sobre humanos que adquirem habilidades sobrenaturais de luta graças ao treinamento de artes marciais chinesas e ao cultivo de energia interna.
Exemplo:
The Emperor’s Strategy/帝王攻略(Di Wang Gong Lue)
Onde ler: MLTNovels.com ;
Xianxia
Xianxia significa “herói imortais, são histórias ficcionais com magia, criaturas sobrenaturais e elementos da mitologia e do folclore chinês. Os protagonistas destas histórias quase sempre buscam alcançar a imortalidade e, ou, o pináculo da força. É fortemente influenciado pelo Taoísmo.
Exemplo:
The Founder of Diabolism/魔道祖师(Mo Dao Zu Shi)
Onde ler: Exiledrebelstranslations.com ;
Xuanhuan
Xuanhuan significa “fantasia misteriosa”. Um gênero bastante diverso de histórias ficcionais que misturam mitologia é folclore chinês com cenários estrangeiros. Xuanhuan e xianxia costumam ser superficialmente parecidos, mas é possível diferenciar. Histórias ficcionais contendo elementos daoístas (dao, yin e yang, imortais) caracterizam xianxia. Quando estes conceitos não estão presentes então é xuanhuan.
Exemplo:
Heaven Official’s Blessing/天官赐福(Tiān Guān Cì Fú)
Onde ler:
Outras Categorias de Novel Chinesa
Existem outros gêneros de novels chinesas como danmei e banmei que são os equivalentes chineses respectivamente a gêneros como yaoi e yuri.
A maioria das novels que eu citei como exemplos baseados na postagem do blog de onde eu peguei as definições são de obras que são categorizadas como danmei, yaois, shounen ai ou bl, boys love.
Também existem histórias nos gêneros harém e harém reverso. Bem como romances contendo transmigração, que são muito semelhantes a isekais, mas costumam ter um sistema um pouco diferente. Em muitas obras é quase uma forma de “quebra da quarta parede” e os “sistemas” em romances de transmigração, além de guias, costumam ser personagens da história, apesar de não terem um corpo físico.
Mas eu escolhi focar apenas nestes três gêneros (Wuxia, Xianxia e Xuanhuan) porque são típicos da literatura chinesa. As novels que eu mais leio são as chinesas, seguidas pelas ocidentais, na frente das sul-coreanas e por último as japonesas. Também existem muitos brasileiros escrevendo histórias nesse formato e as publicando em diversas plataformas, com uma boa variedade de gêneros. Não só brasileiros mas de outros países do Sul Global, da África até países da Ásia menos “falados” como Tailândia, Vietnã etc.
Damnit 念无双people, why are you stingy with the promos??
Ok at this rate I want to say all I want is for A Moment But Forever to release now so that I can stare at the pretty people.
Ok ONE specific pretty person, admittedly.
Also realised that it's not that I dislike #xianxia. So much of xianxia is catered to the 20s demographic. I want the characters to be more mature and older. We older folks want our fantasy stories too & this is a rare one that caters to older audiences.
It's scenes like this that makes me think the acting profession must feel strange some times. What was the director's order for this?
'Sit here, make sure this loose fabric don't reveal too much, and look smug while we blow you half to death with a leafblower'?
Trying really hard not to be excited for 念无双 (A Moment but Forever) but failing miserably 
Said to air in December on iQiyi but I am not holding my breath.
#intro post for yr. villainous friend
Hello! I'm Rae and I'm here for #fandom, primarily #webnovels of the #danmei, #baihe, #wuxia, and/or #xianxia variety. I watch the occasional #cdrama too, but very slowly. As you can tell from my name, I am an #MDZS fan (also #SVSSS and #TGCF). I'm currently doing a #ChuLiuxiangReadalong, watching #LegendOfFei, and constantly thinking about #ALeagueOfNobleman and its source novel #ZhangGongAn. I love villains and stories about conflicting loyalties, dark pasts and mysterious secrets. I write fanfic and share it here.
Other than fandom, I post a little about #ChineseHistory, learning Mandarin (just passed HSK 3 and HSKK Elementary!), historical bookbinding, personal web dev, and so on. I'm in the Central European time zone and also read German, plus a tiny bit of Swedish.
Here's a little repost of my Meet the Author with the updated graphics for my rebrand!
Below the Heavens is a high fantasy webnovel series featuring a quick witted protagonist and a world and magic system crafted from scratch, incorporating east Asian culture and influences.
It is available for free via web browser or the app on Royal Road, as well as on Scribblehub! You can find those links along with my Discord, Patreon, and other social media in my bio.
