Stealing the Heavens begins when the main character is transported from the modern world to a new world more suitable for cultivation after coming into contact with an artifact of his thief sect that reacts to his physique. Curiously, this world also contains the various heroes of China's Warring States period, who appear to have been transported there to cultivate after their deaths. The MC finds a place in the Kingdom of Yan, and begins his cultivation journey. Stealing the Heavens is an interesting story whose MC has a unique mindset, preferring to steal what he wants and avoids being caught, whilst still being appropriately overpowered. He creates multiple identities for himself, so that he can join multiple, hostile factions. His cultivation technique is of the "get the best of everything" variety, but restrained in such a way that he needs to acquire certain resources to improve it. The setting itself is a more classical type, with cultivation realms like foundation, core, nascent soul, immortal, golden immortal, etc. However there is a twist immortals being hostile to another faction, the Human Emperor and his realm, where humans gain the strength to compete with immortals while still following the natural cycle of life and death. This is a novel that I very much enjoyed while it was being translated on Webnovel, but unfortunately the translation stopped some 300 chapters short of the end. I would be delighted if Wuxiaworld picked up this novel and finally finished it. I should note that this story is written by the same author as The Magus Era, which has been completed and I very much recommend.

In the distant past, Leize and Huaxu came together to give birth to the Great Sui, the Flame Sovereign, who created the Fire Order Era. In time, the Fire Order Era was destroyed and the Sui race disappeared. But their descendants, the Fuxi celestial race, rose up to take control and create the Earth Order Era. But in time, the Fuxi were also defeated, and their descendants were sealed, becoming humanity. And that's where the story starts, with the main character finding the truth of the past, and beginning his quest to break his seals and recreate the glory of the Fuxi. This story combines a unique and interesting cultivation system with a compelling plot, one that I found gripping all the way through. It was one of the stories I most looked forward too every day, but unfortunately Webnovel stopped translating it only some 300 chapters before the end. I'd be delighted if this got picked up and I could finally finish the story.

Vermintide 2 is my favorite co-op game. Darktide is similar, and there's pros and cons between the two, but I prefer Vermintide. Paradox and Total War games are also fun to play co-op, but they're a real money sink.

So Immortal is a novel with quite a few unique aspects to it, which was very good in the few chapters that were translated. For one, the main character starts off as late middle aged to even elderly. He takes the opportunity to join a cultivation sect and desperately cultivates in order to reverse his aging to an extent. I think he got down to being 30-40 years old, at least before the translation ended. It's also unique in that it is a rare combination of both cultivation and kingdom building genres. From the very beginning, the main character has a technique that basically requires him to be a ruler to use. Part of the story was him preparing to found his own empire, gathering the things he needed. One last thing I'll mention, is that like I said the main character starts off pretty old. And he wasn't wasting his time before the story started, he had that technique and was making preparations to use it. He just lacked an actual cultivation technique.

This novel is the best example I have ever seen of an author improving as he writes. Quite frankly, the first hundred or so chapters is pretty crap, lowest common denominator garbage, with immortal highest end treasures falling into the mc's lap. But not only did the story drastically improve, but the author actually went back and provided an in universe explanation for the mc's insane luck, which I really appreciated. I also really like the cultivation system, even though it's a power fantasy "I get the best of everything" cultivation system. Also also, this story is harem/misogyny maxxing.

I remember reading this ages ago. It was good, with great martial arts scenes, but I got turned off by the nationalism and didn't finish it. Something about the PLA being "unstoppable heavenly soldiers," something like that. But anyway, I thought that this novel was completely translated already?

It has been some time since I read the small part of this novel that has been translated, but I really enjoyed it back then. It's a fairly typical power fantasy harem novel, but there were some aspects to it that made it stand out. A fairly unique cultivation system, and I recall there being a thing where his spirit pets/items are stored as tattoos, which I thought was kinda cool. There's not much else I can think of, as I said it has been some time. Here is the link for the Novel Updates page if anyone is interested: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/world-defying-dan-god/
