19 Novels

Adventure novels benefit from completion more than most genres. The journey matters, but so does the destination. Knowing an author actually finished their sprawling world-exploration story gives confidence that the investment pays off.

Chinese adventure novels often blend cultivation elements with exploration and discovery. The completed entries here tend toward the epic in scope, which makes their finished status even more valuable. Some run thousands of chapters, so the commitment is significant either way.

The Earth is Online
4.6
(2.1K ratings)
Genre: action, adventure, mature
Six months ago, tens of thousands of black phantom towers appeared all over the world, floating above the cities. Chemists, physicists, religious people… all of them could do nothing.
First Impressions
"The Earth is Online" promised a thrilling blend of action, mystery, and survival with a BL twist, and after diving in, I can confidently say it delivered an engaging, albeit sometimes challenging, experience. The premise is immediately captivating: a sudden apocalypse forces humanity into deadly games orchestrated by the enigmatic Black Tower. I was initially drawn in by the unique concept and the promise of a clever protagonist navigating a world turned into a perilous game.

Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know
4.7
(1.5K ratings)
Genre: adventure, comedy, romance
In a Mary-Sue novel, the readers all liked the Devil Venerable, the second male lead who devoted himself whole-heartedly to the female lead. However the female lead only loved the male lead who ab*sed her physically and mentally.
First Impressions
This novel was quite the ride! It's a xianxia with a strong comedic bent and a refreshing take on familiar tropes. I found myself thoroughly entertained, and it's easy to see why it has such a high rating. Initially, the story felt a little slow as it set the stage, but that didn't last long. The premise is intriguing: our protagonist, the Devil Venerable Wenren E, discovers a book detailing a future where he's a supporting character in a trashy romance. His reaction? Utter confusion and a determination to understand why the characters are acting so…illogically. I was immediately hooked by his...

Mist

(1.4K ratings)
Genre: action, adventure, mature
Hyperthymesia. Those with this condition can remember every detail of their lives from something as significant as the world’s turning point to something as small and as insignificant as a minor fleeting thought.
First Impressions
"Mist" is a web novel that really took me on a ride. Blending action, adventure, sci-fi, and romance with a dash of mystery, it's a story that demands your attention. While it has its quirks, the overall experience was definitely memorable. Initially, I was drawn in by the premise of time travel interwoven with complex sci-fi elements. The beginning felt a bit slow as the characters were being introduced, and I wondered if the romance would feel rushed. However, as the story progressed, the initial setup proved essential for understanding the intricate plot and the characters' motivations. I q...

I dove in, ready for a unique ride through multiple worlds, and I wasn't disappointed. It's a story that lingers in your mind long after you've finished reading.

4.7
(1.1K ratings)

You think too much, cultivation is not like this… When Kong Hou steps on the path to cultivation, she learns that all xianxia stories are full of lies. A relaxed cultivation story.
First Impressions
"Ascending, Do Not Disturb" is a breath of fresh air in the Xianxia genre, and I found myself utterly charmed by its unique blend of adventure, comedy, and heartwarming slice-of-life elements. It's a story that left me with a warm, fuzzy feeling, even if it wasn't perfect. Right from the start, I was drawn in by the protagonist, Kong Hou. She's a delightful character – a former princess with a sunny disposition and a love for cultivation novels. Her carefree attitude is infectious, and I immediately wanted to root for her as she embarked on her journey. The initial chapters are well-translated...

"Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes, All Thanks to a Single Moment of Impulse" promised a rollercoaster of emotions, and I'm happy to report that it delivered.

Sha Po Lang
4.6
(743 ratings)
Genre: action, adventure, martial arts
“The first person to dig ziliujin fuel out of the ground could never have predicted that what they dug out was the beginning of a dog-eat-dog age. Our entire life was but an ugly confidence game of greed; this is something everyone knows, but that they could not bring to light.
First Impressions
"Sha Po Lang" is a novel that’s been on my radar for a while, and after diving in, I can see why it garners so much praise, even if it didn't completely blow me away. It's definitely a unique read, blending elements of steampunk, political intrigue, and romance in a way that sets it apart from many web novels in the genre. Initially, I was drawn in by the world-building. The concept of an ancient China powered by "ziliujin" (violetstream gold) is fascinating, and the mecha elements add a layer of excitement. The setup, with a mature-for-his-age young protagonist and his complex relationship wi...

4.6
(376 ratings)
Genre: adventure, comedy, josei
After a car accident, Mi Li found that she had mutated and gained the weird ability to be able to possess various strange objects. So, she became that man’s doorbell / wall lamp / cigarette / necktie / underwear / emoji… Until one day, she became that man’s girlfriend.
First Impressions
"Every Day I Sleep, My Soul Goes Out of My Body" promised a unique premise, and for the most part, it delivered a delightful and fluffy reading experience that left me smiling. It's a completed original story with an ongoing translation, so I jumped right in, eager for a lighthearted adventure. The initial hook is undeniably strong: a woman wakes up inhabiting inanimate objects (and later, animals) in a parallel world, all centered around a gloomy, cynical writer. It's quirky, and the promise of seeing how this odd couple would interact definitely piqued my interest. I found myself immediately...

Smash All Pots and Pans To Go to School
4.6
(384 ratings)
Genre: action, adventure, comedy
She was once one of Earth’s top engineers—sharp, cool-headed, a woman of schematics and precision. But fate has its own twisted sense of humor.
First Impressions
"Smash All Pots and Pans To Go to School" certainly has a memorable title, and after diving in, I can see why it’s garnered such a dedicated following. This novel blends action, adventure, comedy, mecha, romance, and school life in a way that, while ambitious, mostly works. It's a wild ride with a strong female lead at the helm, and I found myself surprisingly invested in her journey. Initially, I was a bit thrown off by the title and synopsis. It gave me the impression of a slice-of-life story focused on poverty and school struggles. While those elements are present, the core of the story rev...

4.6
(383 ratings)
Genre: adventure, drama, romance
Xiao Mo accidentally travelled into a book and became the protagonist’s inner demon. The system actively introduced: “You need to accompany Chu Jinglan as he grows, and then be killed by him at the right time to prove his Dao.
First Impressions
"After Becoming the Protagonist’s Inner Demon" had me hooked from the start with its unique premise. The idea of a transmigrator becoming the inner demon of the protagonist in a xianxia world? Intriguing! The early chapters promised a delightful slow-burn romance, filled with the classic enemies-to-lovers trope and plenty of cultivation shenanigans. I was ready for a fun ride. The dynamic between Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan is definitely the heart of this novel. I loved watching their relationship evolve from mutual distrust to a deep, unwavering bond. The author does a great job of portraying the...

Don’t Discriminate Against Species
4.6
(412 ratings)
Genre: action, adventure, mystery
Fu Li was a yaoguai from the countryside who had never seen the world. After entering the city, his biggest dream was to become a civil servant and leave his name in historical records.
First Impressions
"Don't Discriminate Against Species" is a web novel that I initially overlooked, and I'm so glad I finally gave it a shot. It's a delightful blend of modern fantasy, cultivation, and a slow-burn romance that had me hooked. While it might not be for everyone, especially if you're seeking immediate action or intense romantic development, its unique charm and heartwarming characters make it a worthwhile read. The synopsis and title didn't immediately grab me, and I can see why some might hesitate. It hints at a slice-of-life story about a yao (demon) integrating into human society, but it’s so mu...
