You can already search for xianxia, but it's listed as a theme. You can exclude a theme by clicking it after you select it.

Top dramas that are wuxia but not xianxia: https://mydramalist.com/search?adv=titles&ty=68&ge=20&th=-1219&st=3&so=top
Yes I understand about this but my other point is that some dramas out there are labeled wuxia and xianxia. Is it possible for a drama to be about both? If not then dramas labeled as these 2 tags/genres should be more carefully reviewed to be labelled as one of the tags not both.
KenTaro:
I came across this situation when I was reading about Love Between Fairy and Devil. It is labeled wuxia but I asked in the comments and it turns out it is not really a wuxia drama at all. I see that it is tagged Xianxia. I think it is time to add Xianxia as a genre in the advanced search filter. I think staff or members should help find out if the wuxia dramas are really wuxia or are labeled wrong. I think fantasy would be a better genre to label it instead of wuxia. Unless I am wrong and a Cdrama can be labeled as a wuxia and Xianxia/fantasy drama.
This would be helpful so people can find wuxia dramas that match their taste instead of ones that turn out to be not wuxia.
Currently, the genres section can't be modified. However, the genres will be updated in the future, but until then, Xianxia and Xuanhuan titles need to stay under the Wuxia genre.
