10855923 I did not know this but I think it is a good opportunity for people to get a feel for it and see what they think. Let's see how I do in inspiring myself and others with this work.
10855984 Eh. I could literally not find any art of an anthro form of the orochi kirin that weren't either human with monster features, nsfw, not male, or too strangely proportional.
10856157 Thank you for the aid, I am willing to accept suggestions.
10856587 Only heard of the sneeze myself or if someone's ears are burning. Could be various versions.
10856727 I think I corrected it, unless auto correct failed me once more. Thank you for pointing it out.
10857125 I can like that kind of story from time to time but I am not interested in making one of those.
10857171 Heh. yeah those can be a bit annoying. But fun if made correctly.
10857219 Not really but they do take up a lot of attention.
10858782 10858850 10858868 10859496 10859545 10859874 10863575 Uuuum... Okay. Feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. A lot of interesting ideas and suggestions. But... maybe spell check it before posting and not write so much at once? I do accept PMs or messages on my blog posts or profile page. No need to clutter the comment section.
10859058 It is rather impressive, what shadesplit is doing I mean. Though a bit overwhelming.
10859094 Yeah a lot of basic explaining in the beginning. to get the information flowing. But I do not want too many explanations so I intend to just let people make their own assumptions on some of the things I write.
10859100 Thank you. yes, the Qi system in this story has its own rules. And will not be even one-tenth as advanced as some of the stuff I've read in stories or manwha. So I will try to make a less over-the-top Qi system and just try to make it function as it should without the extra hassle. And yeah the blood sect is a group of maniacs.
10863578 The multiple world aspect will not get involved until later. Thank you for reading.
10862838 Indeed. He is just recently accepted as an Inner Disciple and has had his Qi cultivation forcefully advanced to the Fifth Rank of the Low tier, he needs to learn control and focus. Which will become apparent when he gets into a fight.
10864978 10856455 Thank for the music, though not sure if they fit.
This has been a most engaging read, a very interesting take on the isekai/crossover that has me looking into the source material.
I have to ask though, why the announcements for 'point of view' changes? I've seen so many fanfic writers do this and it never becomes any less jarring.
So long as the scene is well initiated and described (which both of the key instances were in this chapter), a page break is all that your readers will need to know that the focus has shifted. Your writing is more then good enough to achieve a smooth scene transition without the need for a cue card :)
Also, while first person perspective can seem much more intimate and allows for a smoother internal monologue, your wrighting style seems to favour the intricate scene wide descriptions of the third person. I've noticed that the exposition flowed much more naturally when you felt able to describe the surrounding events without the limitation of a single person's line of sight. This is illustrated by simply comparing the earlier 'spiritual conversation' scene with the later 'village walk through'. The latter felt more alive and conveyed far more between the characters and environment then simply what was said or thought.
Might be worthwhile sticking to the third person for a full chapter just to feel things out.
Brilliant read thus far and I look forward to your next entry.
10869112 Cultivation stories are normally chinese oriented, and while the chakram originally came from India is it close enough for the weapon to have reached China. Thus I added it to the storyline. Plus I just think they look awesome.
10869123 Nice song. It might have a place in a future story.
10869182 I am more used to writing in 3rd person. This story is not for me to be comfortable, it is for me to work out new writing styles as well. It is an experiment in the working. I had a feeling that I need to work on my 1st point of view because I do not use it often. What I might do in the future is split up chapters into 3rd person and 1st person chapters to clearly mark which chapter is which point of view. That might be a worthy endeavor for me to work on in the future. Though the only person who will have the 1st point of view will be Guo Long. Thanks for the criticism and suggestions. And I am glad you are enjoying the story.
10869374 Thank you, hopefully, I will have the next chapter up soon. But do not except too much from me.
10869526 I will try to get you some chapter injection in the short future, call me if it becomes an emergency.
Sir/Ma'am, you and your creative team, keep it coming please, I think I am falling in love more for this story.... will the MC have an eventual love interest tho? Is it Luna? Luna is love Yes~ or would the MC's lover is an all new beautiful and sexy female OC that hopefully doesn't screams Mary Sue.
And seriously when I first read this story and now it's second chapter I swear I feel like inhaling a damn fine powdered drug through my nostrils. And so I say unto you and your team... keep it coming please!!! Heh heh heh.
The Ranking of Gear is a bit different since it only has Seven Titles and not Ten. And it does not have a numeric value to grade them. The name is rather associated with the rarity of the item. And some countries do not used the flowery names and just call them by their rarity.
m-my head, too much explanation.. i i will laying around in the corner.. its just i love and hate this type of story sometimes love because its very detailed hate because it's too much information.. regardless from it, i still love it more than hate it..
Now that i finally found the time to sit down and properly read this, i can safely say that the quality is as grand as ever. A cultivation story this great is a rare treat and thus should be enjoyed in peace.
Having good music to go along with it just makes it all the more fantastic.
Let me guess, those items are also artifacts of his sect. And, a major focus in this story will focus of his chasing down and collecting them, after the bandits scatter when they realize they can't take him in a fight, yet.
10876041 seeing how the ones he found so far just jumped into his hands im guessing it might be more a case of they try fight him and the wepons retern to him and they run from the great mage that can levitate and steal his enemys wepons. I think it would be more interesting to have him recover the artifacts kinda quickly and to then focus on helping the ones that helped him and training to be more connectid to his new body and the spirits with him. mabey after a bit of that him looking into and possibly hunting down the storm king could be interesting
10869606 Approximately how soon shall we receive the next chapter in the life of Guo Long, I patiently await for the next update but eventually patience becomes B̵̨̘̱̮̬̯͍͍͚̰̝͉̌̎̎͜͝ḷ̵̡̫̱̙͕̼͛̐͌͗͆͛̈́͗̂̎͋́͐ǒ̷̧̭͇͇̟͑̃̽͑͠o̶̡̡̡̯̬̺͙͈͚̲̩̽̎̈́̀͆͆̒̂̈́͆́̕͜͠d̷̜͚͇̩̲̗͌̾͗͘l̷̨̲̯͙͈̹̥̲̗̀͑̈́͂̋̃͛̔͠͝ͅṳ̷̢̮͕͍͔͑̊͗͂̈́̕̚s̴̱͓̼̝̬̥̐̿̀̈́̑̚͝t̴̢̡̧̬͚͇̱̠͙̜͍͓̻̏͌̀̕͠
10882339 I can see a fair bit of that happening, but not all at once. Wuxia is all about slowly building on the foundation and advancement through self improvement; just like the very idea of cultivation. The bad ones, skip to the end or never have the mc need to get stronger to accomplish their goal.
Recovering his sect's property, is probably the first clear goal that's been put in front of him aside from the loosie-goosie "get back home" goal. While I can see him reacquiring some of the weapons, thus prompting the bandits to flee, he definitely won't get all of them. Author-nim has been way too awesome about giving the best part of wuxia, while cutting the fat.
If he get's any of the weapons, (which now that it's been said, it'd be most wuxia if he got a few of them) he'd most likely only recover a few of them. One or two, would be the most expected; because, while we saw he got the chakrams he knows how to use, he doesn't have a spear he also knows how to use nor the next weapon he learns to add to his arsenal. 5 or 9 could also happen, because they are common numbers and good luck (5, because of the 5 traditional Chinese elements. 9, because some mystical reasoning I haven't gotten a clear answer on yet).
But, he definitely won't get more than half of them. Wuxia never has a mc start a new arc, stronger than the adversary, unless the adversary is specifically only supposed to be a foot-note. In fact, most wuxia start with a huge disparity between mc and antagonist/adversary, in the other guys favor; because a major theme in these novels is the satisfaction of the work we've seen come to fruition in victory. These are supposed to be motivational "See, tiny steps work! You can too!" kind of stories.
If mc gets half of the weapons, a major development in the story will revolve around mc learning from the spirits and any weapon-masters he happens to come across, before he can effectively chase down the other weapons. We've seen the sudden jump in power, skill is going to jump to match, via montage. There might even be a (Spirit: "these weapons were forged from our bodies, your body isn't strong enough to handle all of them, yet. You can't even bring out their true powers, yet!") moment coming up. I can't wait!
Question to all my readers: Do you know any decent Chinese/wuxian/xianxia/korean combat music that fits the theme and isn't just going to sound like modern/techno mixed with some rock or rap. Does not need to have lyrics.
10869620 I am a man, 32 years old, born in the Scandinavian nation of Sweden. I have no team. Only myself and my awesome readers. Thank you for the compliment and the fine comment.
10869753 Sorry. Hope the approaching violence will help you out.
10869766 I knew that, I just thought you wanted to ask a question since you didn't mention the song.
10871360 Oh, there are going to be a lot of regretted career decisions.
10875334 Oookay. Not sure I like it but at least it is different, I guess?
10875364 I have fixed this issue. Thank you for mentioning it.
10875410 Nice comment, thank you. and that music video is great too. Do you have any suggestions for decent Chinese battle music for my future chapters?
10876041 I not going to spoil anything. But I like where you're going.
10882339 Hmm, this is an option as well I might do. But the weapons in question did not fly to him to get caught, they sensed his cultivation and tried to attack him to test his skills. Some artifacts are more violent in their interest of new possible wielders.
10882692 I am soon done with the next chapter. I hope to have it up before next weekend. Not making any promised though.
10882866 Several good points and options here. I really liked the part of there being weapons made from the kirin spirits' former bodies. I will definitely use that part.
Since we haven't had a fight scene yet, we can't really gauge how high the fantasy is supposed to be. Most of these should be safe bets, and there's some ambiance music mixed in. There's SOME tech in one of the vids, but only in one song, if I'm not mistaken. If you hear anything you like, it shouldn't be hard to find it separately.
Several good points and options here. I really liked the part of there being weapons made from the kirin spirits' former bodies. I will definitely use that part.
P.S. Food for thought, it's established that some experts can basically grab spirits (forgot what you named it) with their aura and use them. If you're going to have the weapons be their OWN bodies, might I suggest possessing themselves (figuratively) and fighting as semi-automatous flying weaponry? Flying weapons are one of the wuxia tropes, with the best shenanigan's.
Maybe even have some of the bad guys use necromancy or a dark sect use dark arts to possess the weapons they have. It could totally add some "How dare you defile our bodies!" drama to the mix.
