Ore Dake Level Up na Ken / Solo Leveling

[Ryllharu]

My god, stop throwing around random Korean words or at least explain them ;>

China and Korea have fiction genre staples for martial arts that are dissimilar from their Japanese counterparts.

• wuxia - Chinese martial arts hero series. You probably know this one. Just that kind of series in general.
• xianxia - "immortal heroes", is wuxia where the heroes essentially become living deities or actual ones through years of effort or granted due to extraordinary achievements. It is your Taoist and Buddhist Chinese myths and folk stories. A subgenre within this where specific styles, techniques, means, effort of this training accomplishes becoming an ascendant being is often translated as "cultivation". As in cultivating skills, techniques, qi or some other energy, etc.
• Murim - Is specifically Korean wuxia, but with the very consistent theme is that the world is divided into a normal world run by the regular government, and the "murim" world of martial artists run by their own laws, practices, and authorities. The regular government and the murim leaders have agreements with each other not to interefere with each other's "worlds," so that the two societies exist in parallel and the murim one is largely hidden within the regular one. The martial arts sects within the murim world fight each other over stupid shit.
