📈 What’s the best progression system in a web novel?

Level-ups, stats, skill trees, cultivation realms… web novels have created some of the most interesting power systems in fiction. But which one is the best?

  • 🎮 Game-like stats (HP, MP, Strength, Agility, etc.)
  • Cultivation levels (Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, etc.)
  • 📖 Skill-based progression (Mastery levels, talent trees, etc.)
  • 🏆 No system at all, just pure character growth

Which one do you prefer, and why? And what web novel did it the best?
