Another great cultivation series (that has about the worst title imaginable) is Silver Fox and the Western Hero. https://www.amazon.com/Silver-Fox-Western-Hero-Warrior-ebook/dp/B08261T1YF
They call it a lit rpg but it is by far worth the read. I honestly think the title is very appropriate but I think the author has lost a bunch of readers because of it.
Seriously give it a shot, I do not think you will regret it.
You might want to try this series. Fairly similar in the progress rate and there's not a ton of fluff but there is fairly decent world building given that the main character is foreign to the world.
i dont know about asuras but the silver fox and the western hero have cultivation

This series. Only three book so far but I enjoyed it.
I also really enjoyed Awaken Online.
