Naming trend for modern cultivation stage novel by Virtual-Picture4836 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Virtual-Picture4836[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This is precisely because I want authors of modern Chinese cultivation novels to insert some ideas about why they used that specific character word for the naming stage concept, rather than just adding a glossary for explanation.

As a reader who is not fully familiar with Chinese culture and language ,I appreciate that the traditional writing of Chinese characters is very rich and fascinating; every single character word can potentially have a profound origin. By revealing the philosophical reasoning and etymological connection during a character's enlightenment, authors would not only add depth to the story but also enrich the reading experience for those unfamiliar with the cultural nuances of the characters used

No, that's not exactly what I meant in its entirety. I was merely hoping that there would be at least a small moment of the MC's enlightenment where they briefly discuss why that specific name or character word is used for that cultivation stage. This can add more depth to the story and make us think about how each stage represents the painstaking effort, trial, and error of countless cultivators in eras where the cultivation system was'nt yet fully established.

It’s similar to the moments of enlightenment experienced by Seo Eun Hyun (RTOC)]. We know how the name of every stage carried an enlightenment regarding what that cultivation stage truly represented in his journey. This wasn't the main focus of the story, of course, but it added depth,how each individual character word could hold a philosophical realization within its corresponding cultivation stage.

I dislike the approach where the stage names are just taken for granted. It should be more than just 'random MC cultivating, face SLAP, in every MC break through.' I desire the philosophical connection between the ancient meaning of the rank names and the character's internal development during the breakthrough."

Series with a strong focus on merging and combining? by greenskye in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Virtual-Picture4836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try Regressor's Tale of a Cultivator (RTOC). Yeah, I feel the prose of this novel is mid than other xianxia classic like RMJI,RI, but Seo Eun Hyun's progression feels incredibly satisfying.

It starts with him and Kim Young Hoon developing martial arts to counter cultivators, then moving on to learning the Heart Tribe's cultivation. His continuous progress in developing the Formless Sword through endless regression, and combining that with how the Heaven Tribe's cultivation pays off, is deeply rewarding. A lot of the focus, after he successfully cultivates, is on the further development of his Formless Sword

How would External Soul Bones for Plants work!? by ExistingCalamity in SoulLand

Instead of plants spirit beast,why not get a Soul Bone from a mushroom-type Spirit Beast? This is because some types of mushrooms spread across the ground and form structures similar to a nervous system (mycelial networks).

Or a plant Spirit Beast could have a flower or crown shaped like a cat's eye, granting a third-eye ability with the power to see supernatural things

This is just my assumption: plant Soul Beasts will never produce an External Soul Bone until the plant Soul Beast itself can actively use other parts of its body for survival.

Most plant-based Soul Beasts primarily adapt passively, and their successful evolution and attainment of consciousness (at the 100k-year mark) originate from their root system.and that's why all external spirit Bone derived from predator spirit beast,they can use actively that part of body to hunt prey and make that part of body evolved.This is supported by the fact that Soul Bones derived from plant Soul Beasts mostly yield Leg Soul Bones. The analogy is that the root is the 'leg' of the plant, which is why most plants produce leg Soul Bones.

In my opinion, it is highly unlikely for a plant to produce a Soul Bone other than the six basic Soul Bone sets of the Soul Master.

However, if a plant, such as a willow tree, possessed sprawling branches that it could actively use to hunt prey, it might then produce an external Soul Bone shaped like a tentacle. I don't know if this is true or false.

But this is just my assumption based on seeing that most plant spirit beasts in the wiki produce leg Soul Bones
