<p> "…Just, Fair, Kind, The reign of the Righteous Sovereign, one of eternal prosperity for the innumerable beings beneath the Myriad Heavens of the Vast Expanse. Countless creatures sing of his unrivaled attainments, they look upon with reverence at his matchless divine might, offering praise to his grand achievements, unifying the fragmented realms in eternal peace and prosperity......... Beloved, do you agree to this sovereign's 'correction' of the Vast Expanse's Eternal records?" the Sovereign spoke as he peered over his shoulder at the peerless beauty behind him. "The Eternal records' sanctity is protected by the Gilded seal of the three Hallowed Scholars, although the three of them cannot touch you, such tampering is bound to render adverse karma on our Righteous Palace. Nevertheless, just? Fair? You frivolous prick, vile bastard! Kind? Scram! We just came from wiping out a universe! Do you even know what shame is? Is the thing stuck to your skull a person's skin or a donkey's ass?" </p> <p> Hi, It's your favorite donkey here (I'm such a handsome donkey, just look at my profile pic, it's to your right, this worked on my laptop if I doesn't show up to your right then you should ignore my rambling). This is my first novel, my first passion project, my baby donkey you might say. </p> <p> *WARNING* It's a long introduction cuz I like to ramble like an old man(>‿◠)✌, so I've decided to add an index to it. -> </p> <p> - About me </p> <p> - My Chinese 'expertise' </p> <p> - <strong> What to expect from the story/MC </strong> </p> <p> - Cons you might get frustrated by when you read this novel </p> <p> - <strong> Updates </strong> </p> <p> - <strong> Credits </strong> </p> <p> - Mini-conclusion </p> <p> I've been a pretty big fan of Wuxia/Xianxia/Xuanhuan novel since a friend introduced to the manhua of Tales of Demons and Gods. It was like the first free crack your dealers give you, after that, I was hooked (I know this is in bad taste, addiction is not funny kids, your first crack will not be your last ). Well, up to today (as of writing this part of the sypnosis) I've been through all of the completed novels on Wuxiaworld and am up to date on the rest. My favs are MW, TMW, WDQK and ISSTH (I would argue that these are the best, but I've been told my whole life that I have poor taste ಥ_ಥ), and for my novel, I will proceed to rip off a lot from these novels (it's called taking inspiration from, duh). Well, I feel like this belongs in my own introduction page, but I don't play by the rules, so fight me 💪 (•益︠•) 👊. </p> <p> You'll probably notice early on that I have Chinese names for the characters and stuff, I'm trying to keep it as close to translated novels as I can, cuz I like them. I am half Chinese after all, so I have some understanding over the language, but a lot of the names I've come up with is with the help of Google translate and Wikipedia (and ripping off other web novels (>‿◠)✌). So if you like translated Xianxia novels, you might like mine :P. </p> <p> <strong> Ok, I've bolded this part just to make sure people see this, it's what you should expect out of the MC when you dive in. I kind of wrote him to be this loser (like me (ㆆ_ㆆ)), he'll get screwed over a lot in this novel, he'll do dumb things, but he'll learn from it and come out of this a better person (or worse/more murdery (oops spoiler (its brackets inside brackets yo))). He'll have his ups and downs, of course, he'll get his edgy mass murderer phase at some point, but I'll try to write his struggles and changes in a way that's believable (to me anyway, but I hope it will be to you guys too). Hopefully I won't fall down on Xianxia tropes in a bad way, I'll try to introduce them believably, I'll give supporting characters more limelight, give them believable character moments. I will have believable villains, every character in my story will live in a morally grey area (no idiot young masters I swear, might play it for laughs tho, so no promises, but I will keep it to a minimum, 1 max per arc?). I think I ticked the harem box, I still haven't decided yet tho, if there is one, it'll be really small and they won't just be random conquests, each of them will have an arc to play throughout the overarching narrative (won't die off somewhere after the nasty nasty happens). Not all the heroines will play wife material if any do at all, I want the MC's life to be hard in and out of the bedroom (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)👌. This I swear by the Heavenly Dao, if I break my vow, may my readers smite me with 1-star reviews (cringe I know, I am a cringey person (─‿‿─), I also like to express myself with emoticons (👍≖‿‿≖)👍, and I wonder why I have no friends). </strong> </p> <p> Ever heard of the saying jack of all trades, master of none? Yeah, that's ya boi. I speak 3 languages, English, Chinese, and my mother language (I won't tell you what it is :P, it's southeast Asian tho). I can only write in English and type in Chinese (I don't remember how half the characters I can pronounce look like off the top of my mind, but if it's typing I can manage since I recognize the letters if it shows up when I type its pinyin - it's literally 'spell sound', romanization of Chinese letters), I cannot for my life write in my mother language. What's the problem you may ask, is this donkey just bragging right now? So the thing is, what sounds right in a language might sound completely wrong in another, so I'll apologize in advance if I do write something a bit dumb that I think sounds grammatically correct. </p> <p> Also, I don't come from a writing background. I haven't been in a proper English class since Middle school and currently I'm working towards and Engineering degree. So I would like to ask for leniency when it comes to my writing skills, I'm trying my best with thesauras.com, Quora and other helpful websites for noobs like me. </p> <p> <strong> UPDATES : Once a week for now (As I'm writing this I'm in the middle of online exams, so when I finish, I will reassess my writing speed properly - I will come remove this after exams end if I remember, hehe), I'll update pretty fast when I have nothing to do, but if I find a novel I find enjoyable enough to binge, a fun new game comes out on steam, or I find the energy to climb in lol again, things might get delayed, hehe. But outside of important scenarios (Exams, Coursework due dates, I am a uni student), I will stick to once a week update schedule during term times (its COVID season now so after exams I'll write a lot more, maybe one chapter every day or two days). I try to keep my chapters at about 2500 words minimum, and a few go into the 3000s, it kind of depends on whether I can 'finish off' the chapter or not. But if the chapter is shorter, I'll move on to the next one earlier so you'll see the next chapter earlier :P. </strong> </p> <p> <strong> CREDITS: I would like to first give credit to Wuxiaworld (I was not paid I swear, if this is against Royal road rules I will take this out, 😂, but it should be okay considering they don't offer the types of services, they shouldn't be competitors right?) for all the free novels they offer on their website that inspired me to write my own. And my best friend Crazy bear (you'll notice the 5/5 review he gave, I think I'm admitting to having biased reviews on my novel, will I end up in Royal Road Jail? But I really wanted to give credit to him though TT) who inspired me to work on this novel out of nowhere because I've kind of ran out of stuff to read. And of course, I have to thank thesaurus.com (I'm not sponsored by thesaurus.com either, fingers crossed), saving me and you from having to write/read the same word five sentences in a row. </strong> <strong> </strong> </p> <p> If you've gotten this far, well you've probably realized I can't shut up, I'm sorry I like to drone on, this whole thing up to this point is about 1400 words, hehe. Please enjoy my novel, cuz I know I'll enjoy writing it. </p>
