General Announcements

Hi everyone,

Here's our second announcement of the day! We've just released A Villain's Will to Survive, with 20 chapters out now.

Kim Woo-Jin is a game developer and character modeling designer at REW Company, working late into the night to put the finishing touches on an AAA game. One evening, while making last-minute adjustments to Deculein, a mid-boss villain modeled after himself, a sudden lightning strike occurs as he talks with Rain, the game’s writer. 

This strange event pulls him into the game world he created. Trapped inside the game, Woo-Jin finds himself in the body of Deculein, a character destined to face endless challenges and inevitable death. The game world is full of danger, with vengeful named characters and countless death variables. 

With Deculein doomed to die 999 times out of 1,000, Woo-Jin must navigate this treacherous world, and change his fate. It is a true Villain’s Will to Survive.

Hi everyone,

On October 9th, we’re going to replace the daily free Regular Karma with something else: a free ticket system, where one ticket can be used to unlock one chapter, regardless of the chapter’s length. 

We’re doing this to simplify the current system, where the value of Karma is somewhat nebulous, especially for new/prospective readers. 

We want to be explicit on this: The number of tickets able to be gained each day will be at least equal to the number of average-length chapters able to be unlocked by the daily earnable amount of Regular Karma. More straightforwardly: this won't reduce the number of chapters you're able to unlock for free, and that is not the intention of this change.

The first source of tickets will be a daily check in, replacing the Regular Karma check in. And the longer your daily streak becomes, the more tickets you will receive from each check in.

Additionally, this is where we’re finally going to replace the system of earning Regular Karma by posting comments. The original intention of it was a positive one: to encourage and reward community participation. But it was accompanied by endless spam comments, and despite our efforts to constantly remove spam and penalise accounts, it still degraded the experience of the comment section. 

So, the second source of tickets will be a missions system, equivalent to the Regular Karma which needed to be proactively earned from commenting. These missions will change over time. You might receive tickets for reading a certain number of chapters, writing a review, or upvoting a certain number of comments for example. We’re also going to look at implementing missions of viewing ads to receive tickets (this would be in addition to other missions. Not instead of).

Here’s a sample of what it will look like:

There’s one key detail missing though: we haven’t settled on a name for this new ticket currency yet! We’ve shortlisted a few ideas, but we’d like to get your input. So, we’ve made a survey, and the link is here! 

The survey will stay open until September 29th, and then we’ll implement the chosen name ready for October 9th. For fun, the survey results will be publicly visible. The vote isn’t binding though; we might decide to select the name with the second most votes, or, if there’s a suggestion in the Other field that we really like, we might ditch the shortlist and go with that instead!

The main naming issue we’re weighing up is descriptive names vs creative names. With descriptive names (plain ones like ‘chapter ticket’), it’s easier to understand that 1 ticket = 1 chapter. But creative names are more fun.

I’ll answer a few expected questions now.

What will happen to my Regular Karma?
After October 8th, new Regular Karma will no longer be distributed. It will still be possible to spend any remaining Regular Karma for now.


In the longer term (3-6 months from now), we plan to convert all remaining Regular Karma balances to tickets, at a conversion rate based on the average Karma price of a chapter. Converting it will avoid the technical baggage of us needing to continue to account for and work around having Regular Karma as an additional currency, both in our UI and on our backend.

Before we do the conversion, we will post an announcement a month in advance, also detailing the exact conversion rate.

Does this affect Golden Karma?
None of the details shared in this post will affect Golden Karma.


Does this affect the Wait to Unlock system?
Nope. Like Regular Karma, this system will be in addition to the free daily chapters from Wait to Unlock.


Which currency will be spent first?
When auto-unlock is enabled, tickets will be automatically spent before Regular Karma. When unlocking a chapter manually, you will be able to choose whether to spend a ticket or Karma. 


If you have any other questions, feel free to post a comment! With this implemented, sorting the comment section by New should become more usable, which I’m definitely looking forward to. (And if it doesn’t fix it, then we’ll have to look at outright banning thanks comments). Plus the missions will give us more flexibility for running events and providing variety in earning tickets!

Hi everyone,

We've just launched a Chinese novel called This Game is Too Realistic! 50 chapters are out now. 

We've acquired some already-translated chapters of it, which are being translation checked and edited by Blip, who will then translate the subsequent chapters. Here's an introduction from him:

Hello everyone, it’s me, blip (blipbloc)! I’m back with yet another novel, and this time, it’s something completely new. It might not be a traditional cultivation novel like all the ones before, but I promise it’s going to be bangin. If you know me from the other novels, you know how much of a troll this is going to be. 

GTR (This Game is Too Realistic) is something I read a good portion of before choosing to pick up, and if you like Sci-Fi novels which aren’t too serious and there to ENTERTAIN you, I believe you’ll really like this. Of course, I’m also here to entertain you but that’s a different story altogether. 

If you haven’t checked out my previous works, feel free to have a look at Invincible (not really), or Splitting the Heavens (yes please). You can catch my reign of nonsense along with horrible amazing artwork and my amazing horrible sense of humor. 

What are you going to do when you wake up in a post-apocalyptic world? Call the police? Call for your mum? Our MC, Chu Guang, tried all of that, but obviously, nothing worked. Stumbling around, his discovery of a Shelter System will be the turning point of his fate, transforming the ordinary salesman Chu Guang into the mighty Administrator of Shelter 404. 

Realizing he gained the power to summon ‘Players’ from his original world with the system developed by the First Administrator, he has to make use of them to rebuild Shelter 404, and the wasteland while they were at it. Manual labor was clearly required when building a massive stronghold, but even the mightiest of towers have to be built from the ground up. Every stronghold starts from a small outpost, and who better to scam to do your bidding than your friends?

Hi everyone,

We're launching a new Chinese novel today: Starforce Warriors! 50 chapters are out now. 

Li Xiaofei, thrust 500 years into the future, finds himself as a young orphaned man in a harsh, post-apocalyptic world. Raised by a woman only slightly older than himself in the unforgiving slums, he quickly learns that survival requires both strength and cunning.

In a world ravaged by alien star beasts, where gangs rule the streets and political factions vie for control, chaos is the order of the day. Amidst this turmoil, Li Xiaofei must carve out his own destiny. Armed with the mysterious Moonlight Treasure Box, he embarks on a perilous journey to make a name for himself and protect the ones he loves.

Will Li Xiaofei rise above the chaos to bring peace to his world, or will he be consumed by the darkness that surrounds him?




Here's an introduction from its translator:

Hello! I’m Dorlaken, and it’s a true honor to bring Starforce Warriors to you in a new language. As someone who has always been captivated by the power of words and the boundless possibilities of Wuxia novels, translating this incredible novel has been both a challenging and deeply rewarding journey.

When I first encountered Starforce Warriors, I was immediately drawn into its vast universe, complex characters, and thrilling narrative. I knew right away that I wanted to share this experience with others who might not have access to the original text. My goal was to ensure that the energy, emotion, and excitement of the story were carried over into the translation, making it feel as fresh and engaging as the original.

I hope you’ll find this translation as exhilarating to read as it was for me to create. Whether you’re a seasoned fan of Wuxia novels or are discovering it for the first time, I’m excited to share this adventure with you. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey into this incredible world.

As usual for our Amazon releases, this is a fully overhauled and re-edited version of the original translation, with numerous improvements made to it and covers created for the Amazon publication. Here's a link to it!

Next up on our Amazon schedule will be Book 3 of our Overgeared re-edit, releasing later this month!

Side note, have you guys been playing or watching Black Myth: Wukong since it released a couple of days ago? What do you think of it? The visuals are impressive, although it seems like it takes an RTX 4090 to max it out! Do you imagine Wuxiaworld novels in a similar way when you read them?

Hi everyone,

Hi everyone,

We've got a much-requested Korean novel for you today: The Regressor of Mount Hua! Also known for its popular comic adaptation, with the title often translated as Volcanic Age.

As well as being a personal favourite of its translator, Cyncoco, in Korea this series was one of the first murim novels to ever reach Kakao’s Million View Ranking, and it's one of the most famous murim novels to date!

Here's an intro to it:

The Era of War and Chaos.

It was horrifying, as if an apocalypse had fallen upon the world.

The very heavens cried from the loss of life and talent as heroes from every generation disappeared like the dew that blanketed the battlefield.

Disheartened by his lack of power, lack of skill, Zhou Xuchuan was lucky, unlucky enough, to survive the war with his mediocre talents, only able to admire the fallen heroes as a bystander from afar.

But fate seemed to smile upon him, as this unremarkable figure found a second chance at life, this time, determined to become someone important.

Someone renowned.

This is the tale of an absolute master who will shine brightly in the future.

Welcome

To the Volcanic Age.
