contents We study the Cauchy problem of quasilinear Schrödinger equations, for which Kenig et al. (Invent Math, 2004; Adv Math, 2006) obtained large data local well-posedness by pseudo-differential techniques and viscosity methods, while Marzuola et al. (Adv Math, 2012; Kyoto J Math, 2014; Arch Ration Mech Anal, 2021) and Ben et al. (Arch Ration Mech Anal, 2024) improved the results by dispersive arguments. In this paper, we introduce a generalized energy method that combines momentum and energy estimates to close the bounds, thereby obtaining our results through viscosity methods. If the data is small, the proof relies mainly on integration by parts and Sobolev embeddings, much like the classical local existence theory for semilinear Schrödinger equations. For large data, the framework remains applicable with the incorporation of certain pseudo-differential tools. In the case of quadratic interactions, we establish low regularity local well-posedness for both small and large data in the same function spaces as in works of Kenig et al. For cubic interactions with small initial data, we recover the low regularity results obtained by Marzuola et al. (Kyoto J Math, 2014).
