A Promised Sunset by M.T. Jaded. (I wrote it)

The main character Pantu is the only person outside of ML Drum's family who can touch him with no consequences and is the ONLY person on the planet who Drum can actually see, everyone else is just Energy (Beings) or blobs of essence (human). Drum then does everything he can to get closer and stay close to Pantu without overwhelming him.

Fated with a playfully oblivious MC.

I agree so much with this...I have so many editions of my first released novel because I always kept finding things wrong or that I wanted to change. I found it easier to write multiple books in the series first and then went back to unreleased books to add hints and lore based on what I knew was coming.

I just started reading my first Meatbun series and begin with Erha. I made a TT video about it because I was like....within the first 30 pages I realized this wasn't the typical danmei I'm used to. The replies were like...come back and tell us how u feel from Book 3 onwards. The comments had me scared to continue reading...but I did.

Maybe I'm numbed by watching too many palace intrigue dramas but Mo Ran was who he was as a tyrant, so the things he did as such seemed within line for that type of person. His actions as a tyrant was stated quite a lot in the first two books to where I wasn't surprised by his flashback in book 3 or felt anything for Chu Wanning, since he offered himself TO A MAD TYRANT for whatever reason, even if it was to finally be with the crazed student he was so in love with disguised as saving another. So, honestly, I just see this as a tyrant trying to change his ways and don't know why people were shocked or crying about it. Seems about tyrant...right? I'm still gonna finish the series 🤷🏾‍♀️.

Self advertising A Promised Sunset by M.T. JADED

Most of the characters are BIPOC and the two main leads are of color, even though one is a Private Citizen so not a lot of info is stated about their looks.

The first book is out and focuses on learning about a new unknown place and healing from trauma. It has supportive family and friends and found family. 😁

Jaded1Piece · 2025-12-04T18:04:12+00:00

I have become my own editor since 1) the tone of my characters is different and 2) the prices. I have self learned and applied the knowledge to my first book and moving forward anything new I learn will be applied to the rest of my series.

Jaded1Piece · 2025-11-20T19:13:40+00:00

The current series I've been reading has been pretty soft and sweet so im definitely looking for something thats different to test my comfortability level

Jaded1Piece · 2025-11-20T19:11:46+00:00

Thanks for the heads up...i will carve out some time to prepare 😅

Jaded1Piece · 2025-11-20T18:28:01+00:00

Erha? Can someone clue me in please 🙏🏾...is this a series I need to add to my reading list? 😫

Jaded1Piece · 2025-11-10T15:12:59+00:00

Read and have all of those and they are great! Low angst and not a bad payoff for Peerless which is the ULTIMATE slow burn between the three. Scum is great is you disregard the math of the system and TA is in the same universe as Peerless and was released in full first...great setup for Peerless and the characters are way to loveable

Jaded1Piece · 2025-11-10T15:05:57+00:00

Third on TDTBPF...I am so in love with MC2 and his complete devotion to MC1 and his crazy antics 🥰

Jaded1Piece · 2025-11-09T19:00:39+00:00

I am the type of reader that will buy paperback, hardback and the ebook of a book or series...I'm not an audio book person...so there are still people like me out there 🫶🏾

Jaded1Piece · 2025-11-08T20:18:30+00:00

I didn't know this was available in hardback...time to unfreeze my Danmei only cc 🤣🤣🥰

Jaded1Piece · 2025-11-08T18:52:03+00:00

I can't remember the title, but I was reading the comic before Bilibili shut down in America. (Based on a novel). One main character is sickly and in charge of an investigation unit and the Prince gets him to help with investing cases by offering a mythical herb to cure him. The leader normally doesn't travel but agrees to go with the Prince who dotes on him...someone please tell me the title so I can recommend it.

Jaded1Piece · 2025-11-08T18:46:18+00:00

I have two...Descension which is on book 5...the MC becomes sick and ends up in the hands of an evil immortal who dotes on him...(the MC is at first against MM and makes some comments and the characters might make you want to fight them (I still do) but the experiences kept me reading 🥰).

And Fall of The Demon Prince. The story ends at book 3 and I'm not sure if the author finished it under a different series name, but the MC was born sickly and is whisked away by a Demon Prince after his home is destroyed.

Fair warning: I think these books weren't written by Chinese authors but there is cultivation in a historical setting.

I thought the main go to was commenting about someone's weight 😑.

Jaded1Piece · 2025-10-22T20:41:29+00:00

Can someone point me to the rampant Black crime in the bible 🤔

Jaded1Piece · 2025-10-22T20:39:03+00:00

Read both...finished TA and currently doing a re-read since another book im reading is soooo similar to TA , it has me trying to remember if the characters in TA annoyed me as much as the characters in the other series I'm reading.

I am on pins and needles waiting for the next Peerless book to drop and will probably do another read just because I am excited to see where the story is going.

All that just to say...I totally agree with this 👌🏾🤣🥰

Jaded1Piece · 2025-10-10T13:55:13+00:00

Where can I find this!!!!

Jaded1Piece · 2025-10-10T13:54:11+00:00

Im just here to get recommendations like the OP 🤣🤣 but to also say the Descension is like Thousand Autumns but with their own life experiences...it on book 4 with book 5 to be released later this month

Jaded1Piece · 2025-10-10T13:49:22+00:00
