The Wuxiaworld commentator catalogues xianxia subgenres that depart from conflict-and-leveling: cautious protagonists (security and control as the pleasure), daily-life cultivation (lighter, comic, little leveling), clan cultivation (a family as protagonist), farming (steady visible resource growth). Each is described with a stated trade (less conflict, lower stakes, or harder to imitate) but all appraisals are the commentator's, not measured. Xu adds that Zhu Xian's author deliberately sought emotional depth over a pure cultivate-and-kill hero, which is an author's own account of a variation rather than a result.
