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.
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
