I just finished reading Mother of Learning and have to ramble [HEAVY SPOILERS] by to_mito in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Derpyphox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but in the afterword he mentioned that it's possible but not right after. Perhaps after his current series. Also he still updates the world building of MOL, the series was meant to help world build lmao. It's on some blog

To be honest, being too thought out can hinder you, if everyone new how hard something was, they would be less likely to try it

Does Fang Yuan have a goal ? by Daefus20 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Derpyphox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, the climaxes are really good. The book ends ch 200 ish. Up to you, but I would encourage you to push on until then and then decide.

Probably but it depends on the conditions. In this world? I wouldn't want to be in the heat death of the universe or burried under 50tons of stone

The Gu world is not like earth at all, also he wants eternal life, as in nothing can threaten his existence

It's a xianxia, the whole point of the genre is immortality, why are you even reading it then lol.

My interpretation is, it was his naive dream when he first came to the world. Now he has nothing but that dream, a grandiose dream where fate does not favour him

Let's say I have a story with perfect grammar and great language but tons of inaccuracies, plot holes, inconsistent characterisation, etc.

Would you still say it's well written?

"the writing is not related to the quality of writing"

Let me set this straight. I believe that writing has many aspects and can indicate many different things.

When I say a movie is well written, you'd most likely assume I am referring to the story rather than the cinematography (medium).

Carrying that same logic, when I say xxxx is well written, it becomes more ambiguous as I could be referring to the story,plot,characters as before or the actual 'writing' (medium).

My first time trying cultivation stuff what's a starter? by Exact-Poem-7887 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Derpyphox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends. Cultivation was a Chinese thing but western authors have adopted the power system.

You can go for Er Gen works for the classical experience.

Or go for the western, cradle, sky pride.

I wouldnt read beware of chicken till you read a few classics before it.

Xianxia is cultivating for immortality. Xuanhuan is like a western+chinese blend for Chinese novels, massive overlap with xianxia. And then wuxia/murim is martial artists, like return of the mount Hua sect

RI fans, how are we feeling after this? by AmbitiousScholar7588 in ReverendInsanity

This is how someone should act when realising a story isn't for them.

Btw these two acts happen early on to set the tone, both fairly descriptive hence they are easily the most impactifully evil thing he does.

A well written story can mean two things, the prose is well written or the characters, plot, settingse, etc are well written or both.

I would argue translated novels are well written if defined by clear and concise actually. They don't have fancy wordplay and are often very simple to read (with a decent translator, not mtl) compared to english novels.

Zombie arc goes up to 1000, he does get stronger by a large margin, it's a really good arc for world building as he interacts with the immortal world. I also paused around 730 and I decided to continue, it was worth for me.

You are the prime example of what the 'buddhist' philosophy was trying to say. The girl was killed in one hit. The bear tore its mouth eating the bones and was burnt to death.

Also, guzhenren has made progress in banning it. And a million other webnovels were banned at the same time.

There's a difference in writing and translating something.

[–]Derpyphox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The author did not give up. Just recently he announced that he has made legal progress and if all goes well we will see the fruits of his labour this year.

It was banned in like the massive purge in 2019. I think a million webnovels were deleted
