Cliche copy paste of Chinese novel; So far it’s - genius reincarnated with memory plus legendary cultivation skill Every few chapter will give you some face smacking Mum not dead just locked away somewhere as motivation Collecting followers (harem) 4000 chapters of this? No thank you

LIKENothing is wrong with cliches. It’s just, you’re supposed to do something with these cliches instead of repeating the same damn story. It’s boring to do so.
CheeseGod:Whats wrong with cliche, isnt that the reason we read cultivation novels, why dont you all read harry potter wester books instead of this genre.
Everythig is wrong with cliches. It's lazy writing. And no, just because we like cultivation stories doesn't mean you get a free pass of posting the same overly used stuff under a different label. This kind of acceptance actually enables the lazy trends of doing nothing different or original. It makes stories repeative, predictable, boring but still manages to flood the market because why put on more effort, right? Sure, go with the meta and do something new with it.

Yeah some are so obvious one could guess what would happen in future chapters without even reading. Even worse some are just repeating the same stuff in different arcs example: MC offends the top sect > encounter and save a mysterious lady (future wife) > the chase and power up > crush entire sect > move to a higher realm (to be a generic small fry again)

Easy. Copy/Use a familiar formula (like the cliches) as a bluebrint to how you want the story to go but change the contexts/the details, add in your own spin etc. Every movie, book, show or story will have used the exact same blueprints/structure for their story but the details, the extra add ons, twists etc. are what makes it different or at least make it "feel" different.
Knight7:i meant no offense but how would somebody make something truly new at this point,there are thousands of stories of genre
