specifically human societies, or even cultivator societies. The closest it ever got to doing this in an interesting way was the military base, other than that its almost always just described in prose and not really expanded upon in ways that feels interesting.

3) Sky Pride Book 3: I adored this volume. I loved how they connected ptsd to daoist philosophy, and in such an immersive and convincing way. I think the final tea service scene had some of my favorite dialogue in a Chinese fantasy novel.

2) The Wind Rises (2013) Hayao Miyazaki: Really enjoyed this one. The dream scenes in particular were lovely, both visually and thematically.

1) Sky Pride Book 1 and book 2: A Xianxia with actual daoist philosophy, I'd never thought I'd see the day.

Its called Sky Pride. the first couple of chapters aren't the greatest imo but once the mc gets out of the dump it really hits its stride

not just survive, thrive

Happy holidays gamer
