It's called Data-Driven Daoist, and it's currently Rank 9 on the Rising Stars list (woohoo)!
As an apology for bothering you, first I'd like to thank you. I have a gift for my special readers. On [Chapter 13 - Simulation] of Data-Driven Daoist, in the [A Note from CatVI] section which is the post chapter author's note, there's a special link below the "Can't wait for more?" Patreon banner. The link looks like a golden ?(? ω ?)?. Yep, it's a cat kaomoji. Don't worry, it's a clickable link and after doing so, you will be gifted 1 month membership to the Data-Driven Daoist Patreon (which is 15 chapters ahead). If you want the gift, get there early because they're limited. Also, I want to be absolutely clear that you don't have to do anything to redeem this gift (no need to follow, rate, or review). This is purely a gift from me, a budding author, to you, my oldest readers. Oh, and if you didn't get to redeem it this time, don't worry. I'll do this kind of gift-giving in the future too!
Now onto Data-Driven Daoist.
It's a combination of Xianxia with LitRPG mechanics, so alongside heaven-defying martial arts, there should be plenty of numbers to crunch (maybe not at Delve level though, haha). It will be a progression fantasy, with more emphasis put on action, adventure, and the main character going from weak to strong.
I wanted to wait till we had some wins before bothering you. Yesterday it made the top 10 on RS, so I had to share it! (Maybe some of you are already reading it?). A lot of passion went to this story while DotW is being dev-edited and re-revamped. I got a lot of new readers already, but you know what? I miss my old crowd. TFTC gang and essay commenters who'd keep me up at night.
Here’s the basic premise:
Transmigrated into a ruthless Xianxia world as a recently orphaned fatty, an anti-social Computer Scientist must leverage his tech skills to survive despite his trash cultivation talent.
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.
I'll share the full blurb below too (with the fiction link):
I'd be stoked if you could follow it. I want to know how my writing skills have improved (or got worse) over the years. And the best people to share that feedback with me are you guys.
Don't worry if you miss out this time. Expect more gift-giving like this from me in the future. Hope you all have a nice rest of the week(-end).
