Re: I've tried to like xianxia, but...

A big reason I can't get being xianxia, no matter how much I love the idea of it, is that the pacing is just god-awful and the story is derivative. I've mostly watched/read danmei (male/male romances in a xianxia setting) and the only one I could recommend is Tianbao Fuyao Lu/Legend of Exorcism.

Oh man, yes. I've only seen a small handful of this genre, including some of the most well known favorites and the pacing is TERRIBLE. IIRC, it's because shows like that are dragged out so they can sell more advertising and make more money. China has tried to limit episode numbers, but some cdramas get around it by splitting a 70+ episode show into two parts, etc. etc. The plot is never fascinating enough to fill 70+ episodes, IMO.

Funnily enough, I read a lot of danmei but could not get through Tianbao Fuyao Lu.

I get that danmei and xianxia are often serialized, pay by the chapter, but the pacing... I was getting into danmei but the farm arc in 2ha absolutely killed me. Meanwhile I have an epub of reverend insanity i keep meaning to read but. It is too damn long.
