Hello everyone, Cookie the author here. Now I'll answer some questions as I casually 5-star my own book."What is this novel about?"From the onset, it is about a wondrous land with a long history, where countless worlds are interconnected. It is about a Tyrant's incomprehensible choice. It is about a child of prophecy who failed at stopping that oppressor, and his second attempt at making things right.It is about the charismatic entourage of characters who gravitate towards him on his way back up.And lastly, it is about their meteoric rise in a world that desperately yearns for freedom. "What sets your novel apart from other eastern fantasy stories?"A boundless universe with thought-out lore, where a single piece of information will unravel to reveal countless more mysteries and conspiracies.Multi-faceted characters with their own dreams and aspirations, different upbringing, and demons to face.Storylines that evolve step by step, organically. Neither blandly following cliches, nor senselessly subverting each and every one of them in a vain effort to revolutionize a genre I've come to love.An original power system that stands on the shoulder of giants, presenting its own spin on the ideas of cultivation and cultivation bases, immortals and Daos, and immortal ascension."Who is the main character?"A genius who once led the rebellion against Tian, incensed by the sacrifice of a loved one. A brilliant mind that revolutionized the cultivation world in his three hundred-odd years of life.Wise, knowledgeable, shrewd, savvy. Quick to clap back. Compassionate and empathic, yet could only grow colder with the passing of the years, living a life of schemes, deceit, war and suffering. He borderlines psychopathy in a world where the deranged have risen to the helm. However, be it his innate poetic disposition or the childhood teachings of a dear one who gave her life for him, he still can't help appreciating the magnificence the many worlds have to offer.And lastly, "Is this novel truly worth 5 stars?"I do not expect Immortal Ascension Tower to appeal to everyone. However, it is a good novel. It is the story that plays out in my head every day as I daydream, and every night as I lay in bed without falling asleep. One that I can endlessly play back as I refine its every minute detail, and yet doesn't ever tire me.It is the novel I've been wanting to read all these years, yet nobody else could write. Immortal Ascension Tower is my 5 stars. And if you give it a chance, that might just be the case for you as well.I wish you all safe travels though the Land of Countless Planes.
