Ooh - Tigu should dress up to match Shaggy 2! Then Yin can steal the rooster mask. Ah! Yun and Gou can be cat and bunny girls. Xianghua would be soooo down. After she stole the blade of grass witch hat.

It's not really litrpgs I have an issue with(because cultivation is just a mystical rpg when you get down to it), but the concept of "mana". People use it as a shorthand for western magic, when it's literally a recent videogame mechanic with nothing to do with any western mysticism, literature, or historical practices. It's lazy shorthand and used unimaginitively in the vast majority of cases.

I miss Yun Ren. Yes, he is a man, but he would love to dress up.

Path of Dragons mixes that somewhat. You don't have classical cultivators with their attitude, but cultivation of the body, mind, soul and a core exists, same with natural treasures, harvesting beasts for parts to get cultivation materials etc. It's still a litrpg, although it either doesn't have HP/MP or they just didn't come up in the last two books.

Mei looks like she’s half a second before making the term “bodice-ripper” literal

Not Scooby-Doo, it's from Hocus Pocus. A Disney TV movie.

East and West power systems huh. I’d actually turn it either a geological difference, where the major powers know the others exist, but contact is little. Or a disaster split a world into 2-4 realities, where the power systems developed depending on who was there, the animals, monsters etc. Then the worlds start colliding. Think Xenoblade 3 if you know. So a group of protagonists from each realm are forced to fight/work together. Language and culture differences, learning from each other’s power systems. No time travel though. I think it just makes things messy. Sorry had a bit of a schpeal.

You just gave me ideas

But do they float?

This makes me wonder how a setting with cultivators and western magic(like D&D, mistborn, and Eregon, not "I have a mana bar" video game BS) would look like.
