Hey everyone!

  I’m not here with a new chapter or a big announcement—

  I just wanted to celebrate a small moment with you all. ??

  My novel has now reached Chapter 124 in actual writing (though only Chapter 60 has been published so far).

  The important thing is: starting from Chapter 124, the story has entered a new phase.

  These past two weeks, I haven’t been moving the plot forward much.

  If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  Instead, I’ve been deep in thought—brainstorming, reshaping ideas, and figuring out where I truly want the story to go next.

  And now, after all that head-scratching, I think I’ve found it.

  A direction I love—a spark that finally feels right.

  This is a story about the sea, pirates, politics, transcendent powers, adventure—

  and monstrous beasts that dwell beneath the waves.

  But it’s not your typical “level up and grind” kind of tale.

  It’s about the journey of the protagonist. About the world I see in my mind:

  A fusion of Xian and Xia, swords and magic, all set against the backdrop of a brutal, class-bound steampunk age.

  I’m trying to explore that world—imperfectly, yes—but passionately.

  And honestly?

  I just have a feeling this story is going to be fun.

  At the very least, I’m having a great time writing it.

  So yeah—this post is just to say:

  I’m back. I have ideas. And I’m excited. ??
