Hey guys, I usually manage OK but in the search of series like this, even reading my first novel, I haven't found something quite like these 3:

Chronicles of Heavenly Demon
Demons and Strangers
Xian Ni

I kept up with these more or less on a year ish interval and they're pretty nice.

Cultivation series with a darker, more competitive feel, without the excessive omniscience and supreme power of some of the stuff I've come across in the wuxia series I've read.

Any suggestions?

can't go wrong with song of the sky walkers
