What is xiuzhen idle?

A text-based, single-player idle RPG and simulation set around spiritual cultivation. You raise attributes and advance through cultivation realms while managing planting, alchemy, forging, beasts, and other timed systems; later stages add a player-run sect and a divine kingdom, while reincarnation supports repeated progression.

Players praise the range of advancement approaches and say the different activities often support one another. Common complaints focus on weak in-game explanations, awkward late-game caps, and systems that lose relevance. Some players also report bugs and incomplete or poorly fitting text in the fan-made English translation.
