The textbook starter xianxia: a boy, a ring, and a dragon's soul that rewrites his destiny.
Linley inherits a ring holding the soul of a fallen dragon god. As he trains, a whole cosmology of planes and deities unfolds. The prose is clean and the power climb is satisfying — the novel most Western readers cut their teeth on.

What readers say
Real reader reviews pulled from Goodreads and Douban — verbatim, in the reviewer's own language, with their star rating.
When doing a translation, I guess you have to balance strict fidelity to the original text with making the text sound natural in the target language. In the case of this book, what might have sounded normal in Chinese feels quite awkward in English.
I read this series over the course of about a year, interspersed with other books. It is massive, comprised of 21 books, each of which is some 200-400 pages. This is apparently in the Xianxia genre, following a character's progression in martial arts and magic and attainment of godlike powers.
Coiling Dragon is one of the first Chinese series I started reading. I read the hundreds of chapters available on wuxiaworld.com until I caught up to the ongoing translations around Volume 17 (or the 7th novel in the kindle series). Since then I have read numerous other Chinese novels in the wuxia/xianxia/xuanhuan genre.
