sup /tg/, asking for a friend about system recommendations for running a game set in the Tales of Demons and Gods mythos. I'm only about 300 chapters in but from what I can tell it's chinese 'levelgrinding' xianxia where the main gimmick is combining with a demon to further power up your kung-fu magicks. They're not permament though and can be traded out at will.

Only other thing I can say for sure from what I've read is it seems heavily inspired by MMORPG mechanics in places (world event bosses, raiding parties, differently levelled zones) although it always makes sure to couch them in mysticism/justify in-universe to avoid looking too tacky.

Also, although my first thought was Mutants and Masterminds, most of the potential players don't particularly like the system. Please advise /tg/, you're my only hope!

Feel fre to discuss this new fad of 'grindy' light-novel fighting wuxia/xianxia btw, I have no experience with them prior to this and went in expecting something similar to Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Would appreciate some insight if I'm going to be running this thing.
