    The limits of a writer's imagination: Can Characters Surpass Their Creators in Intelligence?

    It is possible to kind of simulate it. I have in multiple occasions made characters not only act smarter than I, or even say things much wiser than I could normally, which in turn kinda of...made me reflect a lot on how that got to surface when I was, just as someone said before, acting. It is...

    How do you promote (advertise) your story and where?

    Sites like Royalroad have their own advertising mechanism, but they're quite dependent also on how can you deliver your story in the first chapters, and how well will you fare in the chosen niches there. The best way to advertise your work, which is but a means to reach for more readers, is to...

    You open up a Cultivation story, what do you expect?

    It is funny that people get those shuffled so much. I guess its just that naming conventions are different. I've said before that it isn't that hard to mix them all together, and I kinda of mean it. The hardest would be putting more of the historical aspect of Wuxia. You may just tell a story...

    You open up a Cultivation story, what do you expect?

    I lived at least good 6 months without knowing the damn distinction and had to research it only to found out that differences are basically minute and not mutually excludent. Xuanhuan not exactly minute but...manageable to simply slap alongside others.

    You open up a Cultivation story, what do you expect?

    This all started when my roommate went chickenshit insane and started to read Xianxia/Wuxia and Cultivation like a complete madman. After some time I started to question him about it and it all felt so...alien. But after digging more and more we came to agree that most of the things I've written...
