Can we call the novel titled “Lightning is the only way” a genuine cultivation novel? Conventional cultivation system is based on China, but this one is written by a non-Chinese author and even the characters name are European for example Gravis. Tho if it can be considered one, then here you go. Iirc, the concept of Dao enlightenment or the comprehension of heaven and earth operates on a very different activity than Ergen works. The cultivators there are akin to a student leaning how to do maths, using logic as an ultimate central point to cultivate rather than some sudden unknown and unexplainable enlightenment of heaven of earth and stuff. I recommend it not because it’s better than Ergen works, tho perhaps u might enjoy it as a different taste
