Thank you all for the recommendations. I've thrown them onto the to-do list and peeked at a couple and Witch Hat Atelier certainly seems quite nice based on the first chapter. gimme the GOD drat candy posted:it's not isekai, but how about this? Wasn't this a one shot or an art fad or something a few years back? Grew from that concept I assume?

In the realm of Korean manhwas, there's... The Tyrant's Tranquilizer is one where the FL is a witch... who remembers the story is about her sister getting revenge for her death, and tries (poorly) to avert that.

Galaga Galaxian posted:Any good Isekai where the MC is a Witch? It doesn't have to be super cliche boil boil toil and trouble witch, something like 300 years Max Level killing Slimes is fine. Tricks Dedicated to Witches is great if you're also interested in both historical witch hunting trivia and behind-the-scenes stage magic minutia.

Tricks Dedicated to Witches is also completed, although it isn't fully translated. The author couldn't come up with enough magic tricks to fill out 100 chapters, so they ended it early.

iirc 30 chapters, with it ending on a "part 1 completed" The author, Shizumu WATANABE has said that maybe someday in the future he'll be able to continue it?

Do you like isekai? Do you like xianxia genre? Do you like isekai protagonists who, gasp, retain modern morality including but not limited to:
Then I recommend Beware of Chicken https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/beware-of-chicken-xianxia.910799/ quote:In which a transmigrator decides the only winning move is to get the hell out of dodge. I've really enjoyed reading this. Very good combination of humor, fighting, and wholesomeness. The isekai part gets attention because the protagonist obviously wants to bring in some modern things, but it doesn't overshadow it because he's realistically limited to what he knows as a mostly average joe and some concepts were already known by the world. While the protagonist just wants to build a farm, it doesn't fade into "nothing happens at all" mediocrity because attention is given to how hard just being a farmer is (even if being superhuman helps a ton), as well as the conflicts that come from wandering cultivators. The characters are all fun to read about and their interactions are both very human and also great.

This is absolutely the most 2nd generation chinese canadian thing I've ever read and I can already picture the author in my head. He's enough of a weeb that he referenced Sengoku Komachi in an early chapter and he made the lead of Apothecary Diaries his waifu. Anyway if I could describe it in another way, the MC wants to play Stardew Valley, everyone else including his farm animals want to play Cultivator Simulator, and his farm animals have a side hobby of playing Rimworld.

Going by nothing more than the on-going Amazing Cultivation Simulator LP, it is sort of like a taoism themed pyramid scheme with immortality and godhood at the black diamond tier, accompanied by waves of shounen style power ramp. Behold. There's also wiki article but that doesn't discuss feces-related enlightenment. Caveat.

Forge of Destiny has the problem that its a CYOA forum adventure, and the choices the forum users make are either hyper-optimized for the game rules the person who wrote it made it up, or they just choose the lamest and most boring plot option because they want to ship the protagonist together with a character.

Yeah, I read and enjoyed Forge of Destiny, and it was a decent introduction to cultivation as a genre, but it would have been so much better if it was an actual planned story instead of putting some polish on a CYOA thread.

I had been putting off Salvos for awhile, since most descriptions made it sound like a cookie cutter LitRPG. I have been pleasantly surprised by it. The author is some sort of philosophy nerd and all the best jokes come from translating philosophical ideas into terms that normal people can understand. It’s got a good mix of humor and action.Siegkrow posted:oh hey, since we are talking about webserial LitRPGs, I had been Good luck!

salvos has one of those standard litrpg oh-so-quirky protagonists who mostly comes off as a huge chore to interact with and there's never any particular reason why people put up with her poo poo.

thetoughestbean posted:So what is a cultivator? I don’t actually know the origin of the term/trope It's from Taoist internal alchemy/neidan. The idea is your body is a "cauldron" in which you "cultivate" "elixir": an elaborate metaphor of spiritual/physical/etc health advancement as alchemical work. At the end of the process you are immortal. As gimme the GOD drat candy said the connection from Taoism to what people actually do in novels is a little tenuous, especially when they go all in on it in xianxia. Though there are definitely some related aspects, like all the "pills" and elaborate charms.

thetoughestbean posted:So what is a cultivator? I don’t actually know the origin of the term/trope It was explained to me like this. Imagine wizards. Except unlike Dungeons and Dragons wizards, they don't get stronger from killing monsters; they get stronger from meditating and consuming priceless drugs made from rare ingredients. The more powerful they get, the longer they live, with the most powerful ones becoming immortal. So they just want to meditate 24/7, and do this by essentially setting up a pyramid scheme. At the very top you might have a super Cultivation books generally involve someone becoming an outer disciple, but because they are extra special protagonists they become powerful far quicker than everyone else.
