I've written a significant part of this novel before posting it, well not significant but enough of it. it's basically a slice of life cultivation novel, but not the jovial kind, this is a slow burn with a main character focused on revenge and getting stronger. facets and aspects of cultivation would be explored in more depth than is seen in most other novels, there will be politics, questionable decisions, mature themes, wars, and perhaps a little bit of army building. maybe a city or sect building adventure, but who knows. unlike all my other novels, this one does not have a system of any sort. everything is as realistic as I can possibly make it, chronicling the corruption of an innocent boy due to tragedies of life into a villain that quite frankly is as flawed and raw and real as anyone else. he doesn't win all his battles, he looses some, he runs away some times, but he always comes out on top. I'll try not rely too much on plot armor, just hard work and guts and maybe some luck. also fair warning this is a Harem story, however it's not a romantic one. please give this a chance, thanks so much for reading.
