So, I have a lot of story ideas.  But I suck at writing, so I'm going to list a bunch of my ideas down so that someone who wants to write but doesn't have a prompt can have something to start with.  If any readers also have ideas but are too lazy to write themselves, make a paragraph comment ONLY on the genre e.g. if the genre title is fantasy, and you have an idea for that genre use that title, not anywhere else plz and thank you.

If you see an idea that you wanted to write down but someone already said it, just like it so that people can see what the most popular idea is.  I will also be adding my own ideas once in a while.

a 'genre' here is generally the setting with multiple secondary genres

write it like this:

[ Genre: Trait, trait, trait.  Summary. ]

e.g. Eastern Fantasy: Comedy, Food, Action.
this idea is about blah blah blah

also, if you want me to add any genres just make a normal chapter comment.

since this needs a lot of people to find it to actually work, I think I might write something daily just so it shows up in the new section.

now, it starts...

Alright, hopefully this works.  I just want to help people out there as well as myself cause I am thirsty for a good book to read.

G'Night and Peace!

Eros is born from a long and magnificent line of incubus and succubus, but when he is asked to carry on the family legacy... he comes out.

"Sorry dad, I uh... I think I'm asexual."

Some authors in chat talked about a book's worth. 

Most agreed that its value depends on the readers' willingness to pay for a novel. And the most selling here in WN are romance and h e n t a i.

Honestly, it is true in a sense that most authors who don't write these two genres or have the general audience receive lesser income to none. However, there are also other genres that are popular.

What saddening is that a story which has no s** will be buried deep in the list of books.

One time, a person told me that he won't read books without s**. I think you understand what I mean.

Sad... 

Those good literary authors will just choose Amazon. I totally agree with that.

But, is that what really makes a book valuable? So, the authors will just resort to writing stories with s**  since most will welcome it.

I feel sad if it is.

I've been reading and watching epic and classic stories like Mary Poppins, The Twelve Kingdoms, Fushigi Yuugi, The Vision of Escaflowne, Star Wars, Anne of Green Gables, Pride and Prejudice, Little Women, and others. 

These are great books but I'm not sure if the new generation is still reading them.

Hoping they are.

So, what is the worth of a writer? Of a person's storyteller's heart and creativity?

Will it just be buried deep in isolation? Will it just be following the flow of readership and abandon its desire to produce good stories?

I disagree. We still love good stories. There are still more readers who love good reads. In fact, these type of stories are more engaging and imploring. Those epic stories won't be called epic if no one reads them anymore. They are classified as such because their worth is beyond trends.

They simply go against the flow and create a tsunami, leaving people awestruck.

That is the type of book I want to write. I prefer to be remembered as an author who writes good stories without compromising the principles I believe.

Don't get me wrong. There are still good books with a bit of those s** things out there that you can read. But they don't focus on those scenes but on the story itself.

I am a person who never follows trends. And I care less what people call me. I will rather be true to myself than to follow the crowd and lose my self-respect.

In my opinion, the worth of a story is not only on the business side but also on how much heart and effort the author gives to his/her books.

To authors: Let us enjoy writing good stories. Let us be proud of what we write for not everyone can be authors. And not all writers can finish a book. The truth, most books here are unfinished.

To readers: Support good books and give the authors that confidence to continue writing good stories. Without your support, the authors might give up. If no one read good stories, then there's no point on writing one. But I believe most readers still love those type of books.

I  invite you to read the short diary of my daily struggle as a writer. No clear update but I will try to write every day. Don't expect very long chapters.

Started as an entry for fun and submitted for writing prompt #63: One chapter post but still ongoing.

 Please add tags: #diary #drama #comedy #author #writing

Please read my ongoing story:
The Sorceress' Heir: Blossoming Youth and Power

First of all, thank you so much for clicking on this story! Here are just a few things I want to say just to give you a heads-up on what you can expect from this book!


1. This is my second book here in Webnovel. My first one is called The Mafia's Rose Married the CEO which can be found in my profile. 
In this book, I promise a stronger plot and stronger characters. This will be more fast-paced than the last but would still lean more on being slow-paced.


2. This book is not a historical drama although there are some elements of it included here. Mystery and Romance are the top genres of this but there is also a drop of fantasy and dystopia.
This book is going to be a crazy ride but it's going to be fun. Haha.
I was so excited when I was connecting the dots with this story. I'll definitely enjoy writing this and I hope you would find that you like it also.


3. I love asking my readers on what arcs to continue and stop because I don't want you guys wasting time (and money if we go premium) on a story that does not appeal to you. Majority votes should win.


4. There would be a lot of characters in this book but I will make a list at the bottom of this page and update it whenever I add another. And in the chapters I will add their titles the first time they would be mentioned. Ex: Yang Qui (3rd Prince)


5. Chapters will be short, around 1000-1200 words. 


If this would ever go premium, each chapter would cost 5 coins. Occasionally 6 or 7 coins. Filler chapters with side characters might be labeled "can skip" so you don't waste your coins on characters you don't really care about. 


REMINDERS: (You will be redirected here in case you seem to forget)
1. English is my second language. If you notice grammatical and spelling errors, please do leave a comment and I will fix it.
2. Please leave CONSTRUCTIVE criticisms about the plot and characters. Let me know what you like and what you don't so we can improve more!
3. This book is slow-paced. Yes, if you're ready to endure that please do continue. ROMANCE MIGHT BE A LITTLE LATE FOR THE LEADS. I am not a fan of instant romance.
4. Please DO NOT BE RUDE in the comments section, if you do not like the book please have the courtesy to just leave.

Tianshi Xue was pretty sure she already died. After falling into the depths of the sea and feeling her last breath leave her body… she was sure she was going to the afterlife.

But then she woke up.

In another woman’s body.

And that body belonged to a princess.

—

Tianshi Xue was a popular model turned actress. She was known for her striking looks and not-so-good ways in the business. A lot of people admired her for the lengths she was willing to go just to be successful. But a lot of people also hated her.

She was not even surprised that someone killed her—or at least tried to. 

She woke up in the body of Princess Lin Yingyue, the daughter of the tyrant emperor from the Shānmài Empire, promised to marry the second prince of the Hépíng Empire.

But because of a sudden invasion, Tianshi Xue—now Princess Yingyue was forced to marry the man she loathed from the moment she heard his name, the notorious young general, 3rd Prince Yang Qui. 

Tianshi Xue found herself living in the palace—a place that housed more drama than the TV.

With her new body and title as a princess, Tianshi Xue was bent on trying to find the person who wanted her dead.

But on the more important note: If death was necessary for souls to transfer to another body, does that mean that the princess died also? Or did someone tried to kill her too?

Not a historical drama/fiction. Modern monarchy. Romance. Mystery. Fantasy-ish. Dystopian-ish.

Online literature was still in its infancy, the current system was far less mature and sound than it would be in a couple of years, and the available subject matter wasn't rich. Everything was still in it's growing stages, and there were few clear set genre distinctions, many of the genres of the future hadn't even been properly formed yet. 
In theory if he wanted to write a new novel, he could, after all, there were the many genres of later generations to pick from but in reality though Jiang Cheng had a lot to consider.
The first problem was the real issue. Although the era of the Internet had begun, various new phrases and expressions were just emerging, it wasn't as developed as it would be in a few years. 
The culture and framework for certain types of stories just weren't in place and it would take more than one novel to create them. For example system novels, slice of life, video game novels and the different forms of cultivation novels which would be formed in the future didn't really have a place in the current literature world.
They would be formed over time naturally as things developed, which was why he created Starting Point Literature to get a slice of the cake, but trying to think of a novel to support Starting Points launch he realised a lot of novels and ideas just wouldn't blend or be deemed acceptable by others.
Looking to [Stories About The Ming Dynasty] wasn't reliable because the language was simple and at grassroot level, in order to appeal to the general public. Plus the book was about history, which was a pretty universal genre. Novels which were rich in "popular expressions'' and jokes from the future wouldn't work as well. 
Then came the subject matter. Jiang Cheng was a very cautious person, so cautious that he made sure to become an expert in Ming history in order to write [Stories About The Ming Dynasty], he wasn't willing to write about topics he didn't understand.
Finally, there was the issue of writing standard. Jiang Cheng's writing was great, and he was currently being praised as a model for everyone, so those quick cash grab novels or poorly written novels were of the table.
In this way, he narrowed down the genres he could write down to; Martial Arts, Xianxia, Magical Realism, Romance and History.
Among them, in the history category he had already written [Stories About The Ming Dynasty] so he didn't want to write another history novel. At least not until the series was completely published.
Magical Realism, he just felt was too broad plus he didn't really like the genre. 
For the Romance category there was [Autumn's Concerto] which was coming out as a TV show next year so he decided to skip it as well.
Therefore, only Martial Arts and Xianxia were left before Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng loved the two themes very much. Needless to say, martial arts, who didn't dream of learning martial arts and becoming the next Bruce Lee when they were younger? Plus martial arts culture was already an integral part of Chinese culture. As for Xianxia, ​​it was actually essentially an extension of martial arts. Mythical fantasy built on the basis of martial arts.
Jiang Cheng was very optimistic about the two themes, and was slightly unwilling to give up either. However, his energy was limited. He only had little more than a month left before he had to head to school, just about enough time to write another book.
After the semester started, he wanted to properly dedicate his time to learning to act plus Shanghai Tangren would be starting filming for [Autumn's Concerto] later on and would likely call on him.
He couldn't pick anything that would take too long to write.
Having a hard time and being unable to choose, Jiang Cheng thought of Jiang Dejun and decided to ask him for his opinion.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Dejun, who had always attached great importance to traditional culture and who he thought would advise him to choose martial arts, actually chose Xianxia!
"Martial arts can be said to have a long history in our country. From the Song Dynasty's [The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants] to [Water Margin], even [Stories About The Ming Dynasty] can be said to be a martial arts novel in some ways. 
However for the Xianxia theme you're talking about, Zhuzhu's [Story of Swordsman from Shushan Mountain] is the closest I can think of but even that was not completely separated from the category of martial arts. 
Martial arts novels in recent years have been given a new rebirth by authors like Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng and Wen Ruian!"
"However, in recent years with the retirement of Jin Yong and the rest and there being fewer and fewer traditional literati in recent years, the amount of decent works being written has fallen. Whilst Jin Yong, Gu Long and the others helped revive and create a new school of martial arts novels, due to their standing and reputations it seems people can't escape the framework set by them!"
Jiang Dejun said whilst sighing.
"You grew up reading novels by Jin Yong, Gu Long and the others, it's too easy for you to be influenced by them. On the contrary, listening to your explanation, I think the theme of Xianxia is very good, it can give you more reign to play with your imagination and creativity, just like you did in "[Stories About The Ming Dynasty]. Of course, this is just a suggestion. It's up to you to decide which one you choose. If you choose martial arts, I look forward to seeing a new take on martial arts that can break down the current framework! "
Listening to Jiang Dejun's suggestion, Jiang Cheng was even more torn.
Martial arts novels weren't easy to write. Without profound planning, understanding of traditional Chinese culture, and a martial arts background, it was nigh impossible to write a good novel. A good martial arts novel often took several years to write, for example [The Legend of the Condor Heroes] was still constantly being revised by Jin Yong.
Then....should I choose Xianxia? Jiang Cheng questioned. 
In fact he already had a novel in mind, for Xianxia, the novel [Zhu Xian]. 
The novel [Zhu Xian] had a pivotal position in later generations of online literature. Once published in China, it soared to the Chinese, Hong Kong and Taiwanese bestsellers list. With it's imaginative and powerful narrative, it quickly became the pinnacle of Chinese Xianxia literature. It even became famous overseas after being translated.
Throughout the novel, love, affection, friendship and the battle between right and evil was brought together, the writing was beautiful and the story was vivid. With more than 30 million views online, it was hailed as a pioneering work in a new generation of domestic Xianxia novels comparable to the legendary [Story of Swordsman from Shushan Mountain], a masterpiece of Xianxia.
The plot of [Zhu Xian] had its ups and downs and the characters were distinct. It provided a unique take on a Eastern Xianxia world at the time, with grand and detailed world building. The love story was especially famous. One of the questions repeatedly explored in the book was 'what was good and evil in a world without benevolence, where the strong reigned'.
The love story between Zhang Xiaofan, Bi Yao and Lu Xueqi touched the fans of [Zhu Xian] and caused the creation of fandoms for each. People actively argued online over who they shipped more, and why one female lead was better than the other. 
The story had love, family and friendship and the way it dealt with each was thought-provoking and unforgettable. It wasn't simply a hack and slash novel like most cultivation stories would become like in the future. 
However, [Zhu Xian] wasn't flawless, and there were still issues. The most distressing and regretful thing for readers was how long Xiao Ding took to update and finish the book. The ending of the book also left many things unsolved and created plot holes.
But despite the few flaws, [Zhu Xian] was still a classic among Xianxia novels.
However, if Jiang Cheng were to write the book, he couldn't make the same mistakes, he would have to make up for these deficiencies.
But, Jiang Cheng was confident he could edit, fix out any plot holes and create a satisfying ending. 
But despite this, he still couldn't make up his mind to write [Zhu Xian]. 

Jiang Cheng a screenwriter is reincarnated to 2001, into the seventeen-year-old body of another Jiang Cheng. 

Clutching onto the dreams of his previous life he attempts to succeed where he previously failed. 

He starts from scratch, as a small-time screenwriter writing television shows and movie scripts. 

Filled with dreams of becoming a generational  entertainment legend and establishing an entertainment empire he takes the road to become the King of Film.

Why not try my other books: Angel of Death and Rebirth of the Entertainment Giant


Zhang Zian was busy the whole day and now it was almost time for him to go to bed. 
Zhang Zian had been exhausted throughout the day, but now that he knew the elves' lives could be extended, his tiredness vanished completely. However, he hadn't told the news to Old Time Tea or the other elves yet. As Pi had said, it wasn't the right time. If he hastily told the news to everyone, they would be too expectful. The reality might be too disappointing. For that reason, they might as well not know about it in the first place. 
Even if the lifetime of the elves really could be extended infinitely, the elves had to go through an extremely difficult process to do so. Judging from Pi's stern expression as it read the untitled book, Zhang Zian figured that this may be his biggest challenge and trial since he downloaded the Pet Hunter game.
Although he couldn't understand the untitled book, whether it was the Hyperwebster Dictionary, The Book of Sand, or a fantasy book from another civilization in the universe, he was still very grateful for it. Without it, he wouldn't have found out about such reassuring and hopeful news.
The elves had fallen asleep, one after the other. Before going to sleep, Richard had been very active that night, as if everything put him in a good mood. Zhang Zian had to hang it upside down to calm it down. 
When everyone was in bed, Pi was still sitting in front of the computer, typing away.
"Pi, did the noise bother you?" Zhang Zian came over and asked. He knew how annoying Richard and Snowy Lionet were.
Pi shook its head no.
"Well, we're all going to bed now. Please go to sleep as soon as you finish writing." Zhang Zian brought over a small desk lamp. The lamp light was turned away from the bedroom, so it wouldn't affect anyone's sleeping.
He didn't plan on telling Pi what he was doing later, because he wasn't sure whether he would be successful or not. He didn't want Pi to be disappointed after giving it so much hope. 
Pi grinned and nodded.
Zhang Zian glanced at the elves again. After confirming that each elfin was in its correct place, he turned off the ceiling light. 
With the light from the desk lamp and his own nightlight, he laid on his bed and stared at the ceiling, listening to Pi type. He thought about the elves' lives for a while, and then thought about the situation of Uncle Li's diner. He tried to allow all of his thoughts to occupy his mind and keep himself from falling asleep.
About an hour later he heard a click, and the fan noise from the laptop disappeared. Pi turned off the desk lamp and the room grew darker. It climbed into the basket hammock chair to go to sleep.
Zhang Zian kept his eyes open for a while, and almost fell asleep. He pinched his thighs to keep himself awake. 
He looked up and guessed that Pi had already fallen asleep. Then, he grabbed his cell phone by his pillow and opened the Qidian app.
That day, as he watched Pi write, he had secretly browsed the Internet on his cell phone, trying to find out what the amazing reading lists were.
After he finished researching, he knew that reading lists were an important supplement to the Official Recommendation Spots from the Qidian website. A reading list was created by an individual, who would list his or her favorite books and the reasons why they would recommended those books on their list. If other readers agreed with the owner's suggestions, they would start following the creator of the list. The reading list owners were similar to bloggers who reviewed digital products on video websites, and the digital products recommended by bloggers tended to receive more attention. Some reading list owners even had tens of thousands of followers. 
After careful searching, Zhang Zian discovered that the reading list owners were roughly divided into two categories. One type introduced and reviewed each book in great length, while the other kind of reading list owners introduced each book with only one sentence. The former type attracted much more followers than the latter. After all, through the detailed evaluations and introductions, the readers could tell that the reading list owners had put in a lot of work into every book. 
That day, he had mentally noted the reading list owners' IDs who wrote long book reviews and then went to the comment sections of their lists. He first ruled out the most popular reading list owners, because in their comment sections, numerous authors or authors who pretended to be readers were promoting their own books. Those reading list owners wouldn't be able to read all the books being recommended to them, even if they tried to read 24 hours a day.
As for the reading list owners that attracted fewer followers, their comment sections were basically empty. It wouldn't be helpful for Zhang Zian to advertise Pi's novel in those lists. 
After more research, he targeted a reading list owner who had the tenth most followers. The ID name of the reading list owner was Morning Gorilla Star, who was mentioned by the author of Diplomats of the Underworld. 
Morning Gorilla Star had written down his requirements about posting advertisements in his comment: Do not copy and paste your ads. I will promote urban novels that have no or only one female protagonist.
Zhang Zian felt relieved when he read these requirements. He was extremely popular with women, and many cute girls were desperately hoping to be his girlfriend. Pi had just hidden this fact while writing the novel based on the life in Zhang Zian's pet shop. Therefore, Pi's novel had managed to meet Morning Gorilla Star's requirements.
Advertising was like sending resumes to hiring managers. The key points of the novel must be written as concisely as possible. What was the highlight of Pi's novel? It certainly wasn't that the protagonist didn't have a girlfriend! 
He typed on his phone: Can I promote my own book? The title of the book is Pet King. The protagonist, who is the owner of a pet shop, downloads a game that can capture elves. Together with the elves, he witnesses the growth of the pet shop. There is no female protagonist in this book. 
He thought it over and added "Currently" in front of the sentence, "There is no female protagonist in this book." Then, he satisfyingly clicked the "Send" button.
After sending the message, Zhang Zian repeatedly refreshed the comment section and anxiously waited for a reply from the reading list owner, just like a job seeker who was constantly refreshing emails and nervously waiting for replies after sending out his resume. Zhang Zian had read the books recommended by Morning Gorilla Star, and all the books were well-written. Perhaps Morning Gorilla Star wouldn't think Pi's novel was good enough. However, Zhang Zian hoped that Morning Gorilla Star, who had read countless books, could at least tell him why Pi's novel failed to be recommended by him. In that case, Zhang Zian could help Pi revise the novel. Zhang Zian was acting like a job seeker who was close to starving to death and desperately needed a job, whatever the job was, to feed himself.
Since it was nearly one o'clock in the morning, the owner had probably gone to bed already. Watching his comment drowning in other comments from authors promoting their own books, Zhang Zian couldn't help but sigh in dismay.
Perhaps he sighed too loud, because Zhang Zian heard a squeaking sound come from the hammock chair. It sounded like Pi had turned over.
He locked his phone screen and waited a little longer. He didn't unlock his phone until there wasn't any more sounds coming from the chair.
What should he do?
He was very sleepy. Should he wait till the reading list owner woke up and try advertising again? 
No, he shouldn't wait. Tomorrow, Pi would receive its first Minor Recommendation Spot. If its novel failed to be ranked in the top three or top four spots, it might never have a chance to receive a recommendation again.
With that thought, he decided to advertise on another reading list. Advertising was just like begging, and as long as he could swallow his pride now, he would gradually become thick-skinned. 
This time, he lowered his expectations by moving his attention from the reading list owners with tens of thousands of followers to ones with hundreds of followers, hoping that some of them hadn't fallen asleep yet.
Zhang Zian noticed that there was one whose ID was Yang Chenkong. In his reading list, Yang Chenkong wrote reviews with thousands of words for each book and offered many thoughtful insights. However, Yang Chenkong only had a mere 3,000 followers. Would it really be useful to advertise in this list?
Zhang Zian desperately went to the comment section. To his surprise, he saw that this reading list owner was still online, discussing his opinions with his friends about a certain book. 
Zhang Zian hadn't read the book that they were talking about. However, from reading their conversation, Zhang Zian felt as if he had read it and learned about its successes and failures. From observing, Zhang Zian could tell that Yang Chenkong was very professional. 
For some reason, the comment section of his reading list was blank and had no advertisements. Zhang Zian chuckled to himself. He could take advantage of this rare opportunity to advertise. 
There were some basic rules of advertising for all reading lists. Unlike like people who put advertisements in bathrooms,  book-promoting advertisements couldn't be randomly posted. Each reading list owner had different requirements for advertisements. For example, Morning Gorilla Star had explicitly stated that he would only recommend novels with no or one female protagonist. Yang Chenkong, however, had a wide range of book choices. Except for supernatural novels, Yang Chenkong basically read every genre. 
However, the most difficult thing was that the list owner didn't specify which book genres he would recommend, and Zhang Zian didn't know how to cater to his preferences. After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Zian rewrote the message that he had sent to Morning Gorilla Star. He deleted the sentence "Currently, there is no female protagonist in this book." He added, "Feel free to read the sample chapters, but don't blame me if you're poisoned (Translator's Note: Read and Poison sound the same in Chinese)," hoping that his self-deprecating tone would draw Yang Chenkong's attention. 
After clicking "Send", he was too tired to repeatedly refresh the comment section as he did before. It was almost half past one in the morning, and he would need to get up early that day.
Putting down his cell phone, Zhang Zian lay down flat on the bed. Soon, he was half-awake and half-asleep, and he would completely fall asleep at any moment. 
In the darkness, Pi had been watching him the whole time. It had barely moved, except to slightly change its posture after its legs started to get numb.
Pi had always known about Zhang Zian's actions. It could tell from Zhang Zian's exhaustion. 
Since Zhang Zian was so tired, it wouldn't matter if he did these things later, right?
Pi opened its mouth and silently imitated the shape of someone saying "thank you."
What?
Zhang Zian thought he heard something. It seemed like someone was talking to him. He barely could open his eyes. His drowsiness was as heavy as a mountain, pressing down on his eyelids.
He looked around and found nothing out of the ordinary. He unlocked his phone screen and saw that it was past two in the morning. 
Since he hadn't logged out from the Qidian app yet, he clicked open Yang Chenkong's comment section, the second reading list owner he advertised on that night, hoping to find Yang Chenkong's review on Pi's novel. However, he found no review, and saw that the advertisement he had posted was gone.
No wonder the comment section was so empty. As it turned out, Yang Chenkong deleted all of the advertisements in his comment section. Zhang Zian's efforts were again all in vain. 
He couldn't keep his eyes open anymore. He shoved his cell phone under his pillow and fell asleep.

Xuhan put down the pen from his hand and stared at the recently done calculation on the sheets before him. 
He had just tried to calculate his monthly optimum expense after gathering some information from his seniors. 

Altogether, he'd need nearly a thousand spirit stones per month to cultivate at a decent speed. This expense was not a constant, of course, the higher his cultivation got, the more spirit stones he would require. And the increase wasn't small either. Every two or three layers later, the expense would multiply, making an exponentially increasing chart.

Based on what elder Hei had said, thousand spirit stones per month was the barest minimum for a decent cultivation speed. So Xuhan knew that he was currently broke and facing expulsion even though he had more than 500 spirit stones left. Cultivating desperately at this point was pointless. Even if he managed to break through within time, he had no way to continue further afterwards. 

So his first priority right now was to find a method to earn spirit stones. After that, he could cultivate in peace for a while.

Xuhan put the sheets aside and examined a leaflet he had acquired from one of the seniors near his hut. The leaflet contained a list of almost all the ways to earn spirit stones in the sect. 
There were multiple choices that had been marked by Xuhan on the list. At the moment, however, the number one choice he was inclined to pursue was...writing books.

Literature was a common hobby to dabble in among cultivators. Due to their long lifespan and attraction towards flair and style, books, poems etc. were quite popular among the younger generation.

Of course, that was actually the ideal picture, from which, the original situation differed greatly.

Upon seeing that particular way of earning spirit stones, Xuhan had gotten excited initially. Why would he not? He was a novel addict in his previous life. He could copy all those popular novels from earth and with a bit of editing, he could earn cash faster than breathing. 

However, when he did some research regarding this and tried to have a peek into the popular genres of this generation of cultivators, he felt like somebody had slapped his face very hard. 

His senior brothers and sisters had given him a list of popular stories and poetry styles that were in the vogue these days...

8- The Avenger Cultivators

9- Fifty thousand shades of gray

Xuhan had stomped on the list after reading the ninth entry and didn't even bother looking at the poetry list. He was sure it would be filled with Frost, Tennyson, Tagore and Shelly.

This also ensured one suspicion of his. There really were other transmigrators and reincarnators in this world from earth.

Now that his head had cooled down a bit, Xuhan massaged his forehead and thought hard about what else he could write that would earn him any cash at all.

If he aimed for anything original or unusual, it would take a long time to generate any profit even if it was a masterpiece. And he didnt have that much confidence on his writing ability anyway. So that was out of the question. 

Following the general flow wouldn't work either. Books of that sort wouldn't get him any profit when he was a mortal nobody knew.

Half an hour later, Xuhan was still lost in his thoughts when he heard a knock coming from outside. He walked out of his room and saw Mu Ran standing outside his hut with a rather strange smile on his face.

"Yeah boss. Need anything? I'm free right now. "

Mu Ran wasn't really in the know about his situation. He just felt that his lackey wasn't very talented and had to cultivate harder than most disciples. He didnt look down on Xuhan for that. Occasionally, he helped Xuhan regarding practical problems during cultivation and gave him pointers. 
He felt like he was a very kind and magnanimous man who was sheltering this poor guy with a good heart. 
It made him feel like a really good person, and that made him happy in turn. 
I, Mu Ran, have such admirable character! Who under the heavens could match me?!
My only regret is that Xuhan is not a pretty girl. She might have fallen in love with me if it was the case!
Sigh...how unfortunate I am!

"Underling Xuhan, I just reached the peak of the first layer of physique transformation realm. I came to invite you to a celebratory feast! You've been working too hard these days. Take a break and come with me to the kitchens. I'll pay!"

Feeling generous, Mu Ran dragged Xuhan out of his hut and started boasting about how powerful he was now compared to before. Xuhan absent mindedly listened to his ridiculous boasts knowing most of it must be true. After all, this was the protagonist...

"Xuhan, are you going to buy anything from the inter-sect auctions? "

Mu Ran's question interrupted his musings. 

Auction?

Wasn't that just another cliche to make the protagonist strike gold by giving him priceless treasures that no one could identify?

"I'm in a tight situation, boss. Cant spend much on anything right now."

"You should at least buy a weapon for self defense, you know? As your boss, I can help you in a fight provided the opponent isn't stronger than a cultivator at the sixth layer. But above that, you'll need to rely on yourself at the moment. If you dont even have a weapon, how would you protect yourself when I'm not around?"

"Sixth layer of physique transformation?" Xuhan's eyes widened.

"Haha, I'm not exaggerating, but I can definitely say that I'm unmatched under all disciples below sixth layer of physique transformation realm!"

Xuhan was just about to nod mechanically with a well placed "sigh of admiration" when an incensed voice came from behind them.

"Not exaggerating? That's really funny. How about you prove that?"

Both guys turned around and saw a very pretty girl holding a sheathed sword in her hands and staring at Mu Ran with flames spewing from her eyes.

Xuhan suddenly felt a bit more awake.

What a familiar chain of events...

Ah, our protagonist has encountered his first waifu in the sect, the tsundere type with anger issues.

"And the trope starts..." Xuhan muttered under his breath as Mu Ran and the unfamiliar girl started squabbling. Slowly, more and more disciples started gathering around them, attracted toward the commotion.

"You pervert! You peeked on me while I was bathing on the way to  the sect that day. I have finally gotten the chance to get you back for this! I challenge you to a duel at the arena. If you're a man, then back your words and accept!"

The yell of the furious girl was heard by all the disciples present. An uproar among them followed her shout.

"That was absolutely accidental! How was I supposed to know you were bathing there? I was just passing by! How is that my fault?"

Mu Ran completely denied her accusations. But no one gave a damn about what he had to say anyway. Everyone got the gist of the story. These two met on the way to the sect's selection ceremony in an awkward situation and the girl was furious about it. Now she wanted revenge. 

Just another trope.

Xuhan sighed again as he saw Mu Ran accepting her challenge because he was definitely a man who could back up his boasts, even though he claimed to be innocent. As the two, along with the crowd went towards the duel arena, Xuhan shook his head and returned to his hut. He wasn't interested in the results of the duel. Mu Ran was the protagonist for God's sake. He would steal his waifu's heart regardless of whether he won or lost. It didnt matter in the bigger picture. 

Cliches, cliches, all around...

Sitting on his bed, Xuhan picked up a few sheets and a pen full of ink. His inspiration had hit him moments ago.

He was going to write a book alright, a book that would be remembered in the legends of the Crimson Snow Sect. A book that could change the life of all cultivators who read it. A book that was going to overturn the lives of this Crimson Snow sect's disciples  A book that was going to bring about a revolution. 

With steady hands, he wrote the title of the book on the first page...




HOW TO MAKE A HAREM: A PERFECT GUIDE TO A BLISSFUL MARITAL LIFE

Volume One Is Now Complete.


Short synopsis- A (seemingly) random guy discovers that he has been living in a xianxia world for quite a while now on the day his reborn self joins a sect and recovers his past memories. After fumbling around a bit like an idiot due to his inability to fit in, he starts going crazy and tries to rationalize everything to be a part of a bad xianxia story. Emboldened by his theory, he finally settles down in the sect and starts his exploration of all the secrets around him (most of which turn out to be insidious as fuck instead of following the cliched routes ) 

What to expect from the story :

An MC who will make mistakes and learn from them continuously, slowly becoming a shady scammer ; villains who have serious life goals and grand motives instead of just being an evil asshat ; LOTS of morally grey characters instead of general good and bad ; side characters who actually matter and can make an impact on the story without the MC's intervention ; intergalactic Conspiracies ; slowly evolving society instead of generic stagnant ones ; cultivators who actually have an aim to accomplish other than just wanting to be the top dog ; a cultivation system where strength isn't the main theme ; from ancient xianxia to futuristic sci-fi setting ; no harem.

Hello there! Let's jump right into what this book is about. The Title Game is a creative writing game that I made up for my friends and I, and now I'm sharing my entries.
