I Am The Dao layers xianxia progression across multiple realms using real-time auto-combat, where you ascend from mortal through spirit and immortal planes. The core loop chains together combat encounters with realm advancement, though current content is light and lacks offline gains, making it feel slow without active engagement. Best suited for players willing to revisit as the game expands its crafting and skill systems.

I can't recommend this at this point. There isn't enough things to do, the progression is really slow and there is no offline mode. Wait for it to cook more
Need more skill for clearing mobs,early skill right now targeting too little mobs at a time,cost a lot of EP too so you ran out of EP too quick. Need more stuff to do,like forging equipment,relic ... etc. Wait for more content to comeback .
