I know it’s hella problematic, but the web novel reverend insanity/master of gu introduced me to the genre a long time ago, and I’d love a tv show/movie with that style of magic system. Anything vaguely similar would be dope if you know what I’m talking about.
Grandmaster of demonic cultivation is the closest I’ve found.
Edit: Thank you everybody :mission-accomplished-1: :mission-accomplished-2: I now have enough content to make the void of capitalist realism feel less empty. I really appreciate all the recs.
I appreciate the suggestion, but...fuck... I respect your opinions, but YA... It isn't like Sanderson "this character is witty, They'll tell a knock-knock joke and everyone is going to react like they are Sartre " type things is it?
Edit: that is too derogatory: I'll keep it up so I can be dunked on...but the bar is low...you know? I hope you get what I mean. I've seen lots of leftists who haven't read any literature outside YA complain that the YA (in this case avatar) is major liberal brainworms. Not to say YA can't be good , Red Rising is a literal proletarian uprising, but the bar is low... ya know?
Edit: there is a series on audible that used to be free that is basically what I understand of avatar + cultivation. It is more than decent. I'll edit if I remember the name. But the writing is good and the content itself hella accesible to all ages. might be a good rec. I just need to figure out how to google it and find the name.
It's YA that features a genocide as a major plot beat. It's very well regarded for good reasons. Lots of character development, cool fight scenes, great world building, wrestles with some pretty heavy topics, hilarious writing. One episode is generally regarded as the most tear-jerking cartoon episode since Jurassic Bark.
There's a reason Millennials wouldn't shut up about it for like a decade.
fuck, maybe I need to check it out. Wasn't allowed to watch non-educational TV, so despite being a millennial never got into it. It does sound good based on your description.
Do you remember any other details about the audible series?
I kinda mentioned more than one. Which are you referring to? Sorry, I just don’t want to be the asshole how goes off on something that isn’t the topic at hand.
The one in the edit
Cradle by will wright. I’m like 99% percent sure this is the one.
Cradle is really good, even if the author is a :lmayo:. It's probably the series I have reread most.
Cradle is amazing! Somehow it never gets old--my dad and I re-listen constantly; just finished up Skysworn the other day, now on to Ghostwater :D
It's gotta be. Perhaps the best cultivation series out there, and Travis Baldree is just incredible with the narration. I was actually going to recommend Cradle in this thread lol
Edit: It's Will Wight, by the way (no R in the last name). Link to series: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0753FP6SP
