Wuxiaworld is an awesome site! There's such a purity in Chinese Fantasy that's sometimes a welcome break from how dark and gritty many recent Western Fantasy and Sci-Fi novels have been getting.
But at some point East and West are going to mix even more. I wonder what happens when someone writes a Chinese style Wuxia or Xianxia story that echoes George R. R. Martin's level of brutality?
Are there any Chinese novels already like this? Dark and focused on the worst of the dregs of society as well as the heroes and seekers? There's certainly some pretty nasty Japanese manga that Chinese authors have available to read. The Chinese government censorship bureau has a pretty negative effect on the publishing industry, but they can't control all the online serial novels.
What's the most horrific and brutal Chinese serial that Xianxia can recommend?
