I am mixing both Korean and Chinese cultivation genre here. I liked reading the Return of the Blossoming Blade and the Chaotic God of Extraordinary Strength so far. I've also read a little bit of PanLong, but then I stopped reading. The Ghostly Doctor is kinda decent, but it bored me a lot. There's also the Bowblade Spirit, but I've not read the next part, because I felt like it wasn't that good. There's also Song of the Sky Pacers, but I've yet to resume it, maybe someday.

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation was fun.
Martial World is a long webnovel that I actually think encapsulates a lot of features of the cultivation genre, though it does have its share of brainworms and anime bullshit, like the main character having multiple wives and a few problematic scenes involving them. It does spill a lot of digital ink on the progression of the main character through cultivation realms, which is the shit I live for. It's the long-running shounen version of the genre, imo (while I have some titles under my belt, I don't know too awful many).
I haven't read Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation as mentioned, but I did watch the donghua and found it quite good, though I don't remember anything about it's progression system. A great option for a more drama-oriented entry. BL (I also only know danmei as BL).
I remember really liking The Dragon, which is GL, though it may also be more a fun and dramatic romance set in a cultivation setting than a cultivation novel.
What does GL mean
Girl's Love so lesbian. Yuri, baihe, etc. BL is Boy's Love. Yaoi, Danmei.
I've been enjoying reading Cultivation Chat Group. It is a cultivation novel but it also kind of mocks the genre in a friendly way.
Because reading from a website may not be that comfortable you can consider an app such as QuickNovel (available on F-Droid) or similar to download and read the chapters offline and save progress locally.
Remove All American Media And Culture From Your Life
Anti-imperialist comm to help you in your personal journey of cultural anti-imperialism.
American culture has spread all over the world, it has dumbed down and impoverished our variegated pre-colonial and non-capitalist cultures. Every time you yank yourself, a bit of their culture worms its way into your mind. Sometimes it's explicit propaganda like Top Gun, but sometimes it's subtle: the contempt shown for the poor, the celebration of selfishness, the value-system of their empire.
All inputs enter the mind, are absorbed, and blossom as thoughts and deeds. Mass-produced culture dulls you and makes you a boring, mass-produced personality. And nations are losing their personality by letting one imperial power do this to them.
That the empire is doing this as a more-or-less deliberate tool of influence doesn't need stressing.
Stop doing this to yourself. Don't watch their television. Don't watch their films. Don't read their stupid news and politics: ABC and CNN and NBC and the rest. Don't be so fucking boring. You don't have to be boring and stupid. Turn off your TV. Pick up some of your country's classic books, or listen to African funk, or go to a storytelling night.
