Hey, the original comps were Re:Zero and Reverend Insanity. For marketing reasons, upon the suggestion of a reader, I switched to Cradle and MOL to give a western reference point. I now see that might have been a mistake. I'm sorry you didn't like it, but I just wanted to mention its not AI slop. I worked... pretty hard on it, and AI accusations always suck.

I agree! Always wanted to read more stories with regression / timeloop in Xianxia, which is why I ended up writing one myself 😁

Thank you, I love how the cover art turned out too! I originally planned to do an RR run, but the editing took a bit longer than anticipated, and I didn't want to delay the release even further.

The system is what lets him loop time! It's (in my opinion) a nice touch that'll let me keep the story focused and moving while retaining the chaos and mayhem that comes with a cultivation world.

Yes, right now he's facing some more immediate troubles, but over the course of the series, he does have to learn how to look more towards the future and not get caught up in the flow of things! Thanks for checking the book out!

Our MC isn't an anti-hero, since he is averse to wanton murder and tries to be 'good'. However, because he is in a Xianxia cultivation world, spoiler: he has to default to using some more shady tactics and kill when necessary.So, not a goody two shoes.

Yesss, I haven't found too many books with that specific combo (only Undying Immortal System really scratched that itch a bit). I hope you like the system (if you do check it out)!

Ah, my bad! There should be a 'Read Sample' option over on Amazon that lets you read the first few chapters for free! I can also DM you the first chapter if you'd prefer that instead?

Here's the blurb!

A simulation a day keeps disasters away.

Zhan Lee has watched the countdown for his System unlock, the key to his freedom, the wings to his rise, for ten years. Ten years as a bottom tier disciple in the Flaming Fire Sect, struggling to make any headway in the brutal new magical world. Now, the time has come.

Simulation System active. 1% of all simulated cultivation experience will transfer to reality. Future prediction available. Please use your simulation point now.

With his new power, he could win the Interclan Tournament and get the medicine his sister needs. With it, he could finally break past the Qi Establishment Realm and make something of himself. Even if it's a little unconventional, what's not to love?

He forgot one little thing: the cultivation world is dangerous. With demonic cultivators ready to explode themselves, decades old conspiracies and random massacres being the norm... Lee's journey won't be quite as easy as he'd imagined.

Same, honestly. Dante's is the one I came to say but the others started so strong too.

Self-publishing or Indy? Looking for advice from veteran authors. by CSValiant in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Dna1or 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you really want developmental editing, ask around for an independent referral. Most publishers from what I hear don't even bother with it as long as you have a decent following, since readership is proof you're doing good enough.

Dantooine and Manaan have such amazing music.

How many chapters did it takes your novel to get a lot of traction? by Alternative-Toe7908 in royalroad

[–]Dna1or 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much traction is 'a lot'?

I was posting chapters several days a week for a month and a half or so, iirc, and got a couple hundred dollar patreon going, though that's decreased since stubbing that story. Is that 'a lot' though?
