xianxia

This is a list of Chinese light/web novels that have been adapted into donghua (Chinese anime). I'm mainly looking at Wuxia, Xianxia, and Xuanhuan novels.

This is a work in progress.

This list tracks some if not all of the wuxia/xianxia novels that I've read. Wuxia is a genre in Chinese fiction to do with "martial arts heroes". Most of what I've looked at read like Japanese shounen albeit on a grander scale with lots of high fantasy and mythology thrown in. Unsurprisingly, many wuxia tales also have manhua/manga adaptations.
