Xianxia and cultivation novels are notoriously confusing to approach from the outside. Where do you even start? Is Coiling Dragon before or after Desolate Era? Do you need to read the prequel first? Are there side stories you're missing?
LitRPG and Progression Fantasy have the same problem. The Cradle series has 12 books. HWFWM has 12+ volumes. The Wandering Inn is 12 million words. Jumping in wrong means confusion, spoilers, and giving up on a series you would have loved.
