[Year 1847]

When the Lord took a step forward, she took a step back. Taking a gulp she said, "You know, what you're doing can be considered as terrorizing."

"Well, I call it persuading."

"I believe you aren't using the right wordbook, milord."

"You didn't answer my question," the Lord was too persistent, thought Heidi to herself. It didn't look like he would let it go.

The year 1847

Heidi was an adopted child, where one of the Duke had been generous enough to take her in.  A girl, who when grew up had no idea that she would be the political bridge between the two empires. A marriage with the East Lord's relative.

Lord Nicholas with his gentle appearance and behaviour made him the White King of the Empire. A man who was the kindest to the souls around him, with only a few who knew what laid beneath that beautiful mask. What happens when a girl is responsible for bringing out the worst and the best out of him? Especially when it's his cousin's fiancee.

Dear reader,

The writer speaks
Tenebrous thoughts
Of age old dreams...
I have read and continue to read many eastern fantasy webnovels. They sparked my interest ever since I watched a chinese drama and heard that it was a book adaptation. I found the translation, read it and went on a journey that brought me to discover eastern fantasy webnovels. I jumped in willingly and haven't looked back yet. (Yup, I've basically given up on other genres right now.
So why this book then?

Reason number 1:
Well, i just got tired of reading the same thing all over again. Granted, I get surprised now and again by a writer, but honestly most of the main characters we see are just in it for… what exactly? I guess revenge, the ladies and let's not forget the ego trips.
Hmpf!
But it gets tiring after after the nth mc constantly at odds, constantly fighting with the people and the world around them.

I've dropped several books because of the constant fighting (I understand the need to raise the stakes but please give my poor old heart a rest). Catch my breath before the next canon fodder appears to be the mc's next stepping stone to becoming the world's greatest fighter). Don't even get me started on the horrible sex scenes; products of deluded minds (is romance dead? Woo a girl a bit before jumping her, will ya?)

Reason number 2:
I have read web novels with female protagonists, but apart from only one exception, female protagonists are limited to the clan or the city. Most of these books have to do with evil and annoying stepmothers and even more evil and annoying flower snake step sisters. I always ended up wondering if the kind of a story with a female protagonist in a sect could work? Is that even possible? So i took up the challenge. Only time will tell how it pans out. It might be exactly what i envisioned or transform into something else. 

I also wanted a more or less wholesome story that didn't make me break into hives because it was chock full of someone's outlandish sexual fantasies or fanservice.

If people weren't writing what I wanted to, I had to do it myself. I am by no means an accomplished writer, but I am up to the task.

Cultivating Karma came into existence after almost a year of dreaming and planning. It follows our heroine, Bai li yue, who through a series of events transmigrates into the thousand aurora world. She will journey the world on a quest to break a curse that afflicts her. Will she succeed in cultivating karma or has her fate been already decided?

I hope you stay for the ride. Most of all, I hope you enjoy yourself while doing it.

Bai li yue has lived a tough life: a cursed life. She survives an abduction and ends up in another world. Through a chance encounter she meets a person who changes her life. The only way to survive is through cultivation. Will she succeed in cultivating karma to break her curse or is her fate already set in stone?

Larawan ng kaligayahan ang mag-asawa matapos magsumpaan sa harap ng altar. It wasn't my first time seeing a wedding but it was the most sincere wedding I've attended. Unang beses akong um-attend ay hindi ko ramdam ang sincerity, ang pagmamahal na meron sa ikakasal. Some might say, they are happy for the two newly-weds but at the corner, there's a story we didn't know. It might be an arrange marriage or a whirlwind marriage. Iba pa rin ang dating kapag nagsumpaan na sa harap Niya. It's a lifetime decision. 

It's almost four in the afternoon when the wedding ended. Natuloy na kami sa reception. Hindi mapigil ang pagngiti ko nang pagmasdan ko ang pagsasayaw nina Nina at Elliot, ang bagong mag-asawa. Kompara sa kadalasang reception na napapansin ko, the food are Filipino dishes. May lechon, grilled shrimp, pork cutlets, kinilaw, pancit bihon, adobong manok, monggo, may tuyo pa at mangga na may hipon. Kakanin ang ibang desserts. 

"Lirio! Subukan mo 'to! Masarap ang cake!' alok ng isang babae kay Lirio. Isa sa mga bridesmaid. Iniumang niya kay Lirio ang plato na may slice ng coffee cake. Natakam tuloy ang mga mata ko pero hindi 'yun ang pansin ko.

"Thanks." usal ni Lirio at ngumiti lang ang babae sa kanya saka umalis. 

"You're gonna eat that?" tanong ko kay Lirio. Nakaupo lang ako sa isang monobloc, medyo malayo sa mga tao na ngayo'y nagsasayaw, hawak-hawak ang plato kong may lamang pagkain. "May peanut 'yan. Allergic ka sa peanut." 

Sumilay ang isang misteryusong ngiti sa mga labi niya. Inirapan ko na naman siya. 

"Akina 'yan. Ako na ang kakain." Also, I love coffee. Minsan, hinahanap ng katawan ko ang caffeine lalo na pag nagsusulat ako. Mas gumagana ang utak ko at medyo refreshing sa pakiramdam. Lirio gave me the plate with the cake after I put down my plate on the table. Inamoy ko pa ang aroma niyon.

"You haven't eaten much." puna niya at itinukod ang siko sa mesa. He's not eating anymore. "Dahil ba walang gulay?" 

Napansin niya kasi kanina noong breakfast na halos gulay lahat ang in-order samantalang siya, walang bakas na gulay. "You're not fond of vegetables. Pabor sa 'yo ang mga pagkain ngayon." 

"Yeah, right." he grinned. "Sa palagay mo, Anong paborito kong kakanin?" he asked, hoping that I might get it right. 

"Cassava cake." I said, without thinking that much. 

Ngumisi siya. Anong iningisi-ngisi niya diyan? Sumubo na lang ako ng cake at kulang na lang mapapikit sa sarap niyon. Tama lang ang tamis. Hindi masakit sa lalamunan. 

"Why do you say so? Hindi pa ako kumakain ng kakanin rito."

Napairap na naman ako. "Nauubusan ng cassava cake sa mini-canteen natin noon dahil lagi 'yan ang kinakain mo na nagkataong paborito ko rin. Hindi mo lang alam na minsan gusto kitang sakalin dahil pagkabili ko, wala na. Ikaw na ang umubos." 

"Oh, I'm sorry." he grinned. "Siguro naman, quits na tayo kung kukuhanin kita ng cassava cake."

"Sa 'yo na lang 'yang cassava cake, I still have my coffee cake with me." tipid akong ngumiti sa kanya. "I am almost full too."

He leaned on his seat. Napaka-relax niya ng mga oras na ito, malayo sa inaasahan kong dadalhin niya pa rin ang trabaho niya rito sa isla. It's an old news for me that he's a workaholic. Randomly ko siyang nakikita na nagmamadali at may kausap minsan sa phone niya. His eyebrows are furrowed and he has this serious expression that he was into something's important. Funny how it seems that he didn't see me for years. 

Maybe, he needed a break and this batch reunion serves as his vacation. Pero puwede naman siyang magbakasyon na hindi niya ako kinakaladkad kung saan-saan o sadyang gusto niya lang makabawi sa perhuwisyong ginawa ko sa kanya sa paglabas ng Scarlet's Letters. 

"Am I going to see you again?" he asked randomly after we fell into silence while looking at the peaceful sea. 

"What?" Napalingon ako sa kanya. "What kind of question is that? We don't have a sort of connection apart from being schoolmates before." 

"Aren't we friends now?" he asked, a bit confused of my answer. 

"You can't directly say that we are friends now. Hindi 'yon basta-bastang in-offer, San Miguel. Nararamdaman natin kapag kaibigan na 'yung isang tao sa 'tin. It's a process, I must say."  Nagkibit-balikat lang ako at uminom ng tubig. "As for me, masasabi ko ang isang tao na kaibigan ko kapag naiintindihan niya ako, tinutulungan niya ako o di kaya'y hinahanap niya ako kapag hindi ako nagpaparamdam. Iba't-iba kasi ang pagmumukha ng pagkakaibigan, may ibang totoo at may ibang may motibo."

His eyebrows raised. Bahagyang tumaas ang gilid ng mga labi niya. "Sinasabi mo bang may motibo ang pag-ooffer ko ng friendship?"

"Ipagpalagay na lang natin na ramdam ko, na may motibo ka nga pero wala na akong pakialam kung ano man 'yon dahil hindi naman magtatagpo ang landas natin." sabi ko pa na may finality sa boses. Tumayo na ako sa kinauupuan ko at nilingon siya ulit. "Magpapaalam na ako sa newly-weds. Masyado nang delayed ang pag-uwi ko sana sa city. Mauna na ako sa 'yo." 

Nakakailang hakbang pa lamang ako papalayo sa kanya nang sinundan niya ako. "Sigurado ka ba na hindi na tayo magtatagpo?" 

Tipid ko siyang nginitian. A polite smile. A smile of saying goodbye. After all, I put my emotions to my novel, 'Scarlet Letters' to let go of those memories with him. 

"Magkaiba na ang mundong ginagalawan natin, San Miguel." sabi ko na lang at tumalikod. 

This time, he didn't follow me. I didn't know why I felt so lethargic when I'm riding the boat away from the island. 


***


Finally! I want to treat myself for finishing ten chapters for my fifth installment. Kaunting chapters na lang ay tatapusin ko na ang series. I yawned and do some stretching exercises. 

It's been weeks since I choose to stay at our house. Walang nakatira sa bahay namin sa Castillo Heights dahil nasa CDO na sila at may kanya-kanya ng pamilya ang mga kapatid ko. Minsan, ako ang pinagtutulungan nilang tuksuhin dahil maski boyfriend ay wala ako pero wala naman akong pakialam. Choosy? Not really. Wala talaga akong amor sa mga lalaki. Well, except for one but that was years ago. 

Napailing na lang ako sa naisip ko at nagpalit ng damit dahil pupunta ako sa coffee shop para mag-order ng paborito kong frappe. It took me minutes to walked outside the neighborhood to reached the coffee shop. 

Pagkapasok ko sa coffee shop ay sinamyo ko ang aroma ng kape na kumalat sa loob dahil na rin sa mga kapeng in-order ng mga customers. It was cozy and homey inside. 

I ordered my frappe and chocolate cookies and settled on a vacant table near a bookshelf which is on the east side of the coffee shop. I could see the view outside which is a green forest and mountains. Castillo Heights is an elevated neighborhood somewhere near Busay and Plaza Housing. 

Pinagmasdan ko ang pagsabog ng iba't ibang kulay sa kalangitan hudyat na anumang sandali ay lulubog na ang araw.

"Ano iyong sinasabi mong hindi tayo magkikita ulit?" Nagulat ako sa biglaang pagsulpot ng kung sino sa harap ko. I almost dropped my fork in surprise. A smile spread from his lips upon recognizing me. "So it's you, Raspberry. Long time no see." 

Nakasuot siya ng three-fourths at simpleng denim jeans. Parang hindi siya galing sa trabaho kung papagbabasehan ko ang suot niya. Ni hindi man lang siya nag-atubiling umupo at ilapag ang umuusok niyang kape sa table ko. 

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

He smirked then back to his usual serious face. "I'm living here. Nakalimutan mo yatang magkapit-bahay tayo, Berry." 

"Hindi ka na nakatira rito." 

"Really? Bakit mo naman nasabi iyon?" 

"Hindi na kita nakikita rito." Umiwas ako ng tingin at uminom na lang ng frappe sa pamamagitan ng straw. 

Umiling lang siya at sumimsim ng kape. "Nakatira na ako sa bahay namin." 

"Bakit?" 

"Anong bakit? Bahay namin 'yon. Kailangan pa ba ng dahilan?" inosente niyang sambit at lumingon din sa floor to ceiling windows.

I mentally rolled my eyes. If I knew, he has his own condo ever since he was in college. I knew it because sometimes Noah and Shawn fetched him outside our room just to hang-out at his condo. 

'Di na lang ako nagsalita pa at tahimik na kinakain ang cookies ko na tila ba wala sa harap ko sa Lirio na alam kong nakatingin din sa papalubog na araw. 

"Death anniversary niya ngayon. Eleventh death anniversary." he spoke out of the blue. Natigilan ako at napalingon sa kanya. I could see how distant his eyes were the way he stared at the sunset. "Galing ako sa cemetery kanina upang bisitahin siya. It's been years." 

"Nami-miss mo pa rin siya?" tanong ko sa kanya. It was a safe answer. 

"Sometimes." he shrugged his shoulders. "Hindi madali sa 'king tanggapin ang nangyari noon. Ilang taon din akong nagdurusa sa mga alaala ko sa kanya, ang kalungkutang nadarama ko tuwing may mga bagay na nagpapaalala niya sa 'kin. Ngayon? Tanggap ko na. Mahigit isang dekada na ang nakalipas."

"Afterall, he's the person who changed you into a responsible man." After I said that, he looked at me, probably analyzing my answer. Malamang may ideya na siya na nakamasid lang ako sa malayo. Ipinahamak ako ng sariling nobela. 

"Yes." walang-gatol niyang sagot. "I treasured her memories. Ayoko rin naman siyang malulungkot kapag nakita niya akong miserable. Baka multuhin pa ako ng babaeng 'yon." 

We were silent for seconds after it. Hindi sa hindi ako komportableng pag-usapan ang tungkol kay Eden Sofia. Siguro, ayoko lang kompirmahin na malungkot pa rin siya sa pag-alis ni Eden sa mundong ito. It was a shocking news when I heard it and it somehow saddened me knowing that Lirio loved her. In my novel, it's Marco and Scarlet only, while in real life, there's an Eden. The girl who had a big space in his heart. If I'm going to write a romance novel again, it would be his story with her. Bakit ba hindi ko iyon naisipin noong una? 

Nawawala na ang lamig ng frappe ko dahil hindi ko na iyon ginalaw, iniisip kung kaya kong magsulat na naman ng romance novel at sa pagkakataong ito, ang kuwento ni Lirio at Eden Sofia. I want to give them a happy ending. Kahit iyon na lang ang konswelo ko sa ginawa kong pag-drag sa pangalan niya. 

"You don't have other books under the penname Quince." wika niya. 

"It's my debut novel under romance genre. Hindi ko naman talaga forte ang romance." imporma ko. 

"Do you mean you write books under other genres?" He leaned on his seat, waiting for my answer. 

Nanatili akong tahimik for seconds. I don't want to reveal that I'm quite known to fantasy genre as Rowan Bliss. "I write for our magazine, sa Publication namin. May sariling column ako for inspirational and slice of life advices. By the way, can I ask your permission?"

"For what?" Nangalumbaba siya. 

"I'll use your character. I mean, yourself as my hero in the novel that I'll write after..." Tumikhim ako. Muntik ko nang sabihan na pagkatapos kong ipasa ang fifth installment ng fantasy series ko. "And Eden Sofia. Isipin mo na lang na bumabawi ako sa damage na nagawa ko sa credibility mo."

"You'll gonna use my name again?" Tiningnan ko siya nang mataman. Saka lang niya na-gets. "Ginamit mo na ang pangalan ko sa nobela mo."

"Exactly. Magpapaalam na ako sa 'yo bago pa makarating na naman sa 'kin na sumugod ka sa Publication." 

"Dapat saksakan ako ng guwapo sa isusulat mong kuwento dahil ubod naman talaga ako ng guwapo. Bumawi ka sa panglalait ng character mo sa character ko sa Scarlet's Letters. Name your character 'Ryu' and 'Sofia.' Ryu is suppose to be the name of our child yet... Anyway, I'll read it first once you've finished it." Nagiging demanding ang tono ng loko. 

I rolled my eyes at him. Akala ko, nawala na ang kayabangan sa kanyang katawan. Hindi pa pala. Sumeryuso lang pero andoon pa rin ang kahanginan. 

"Oo, gusto mo gagamit pa ako ng superlative adjectives para i-describe ang sinasabi mong kaguwapuhan." sarkastiko kong pahayag. 

"Bakit ba ang pangit ng pagkaka-describe mo sa kaguwapuhan ko sa Scarlet's Letters? Kaya pinagtatawanan ako dahil puro kalokohan ko ang halos nandoon. Di ba dapat, almost perfect ang mga hero sa mga romance novels?"

"Oo pero hindi perfect ang character ko. He's playful and flawed yet it's his personality that adds the spice. Lumalabas na hindi boring ang nobela ko at hindi mushy dahil ayoko ng ganoon. Ayokong bilugin ang mga readers ko sa almost perfect hero. Gusto kong mahalin nila kung ano ang pagkatao ni Lirio Marco." Kumunot ang noo ko nang mataman niya akong tiningnan, na tila ba may nakakaaliw siyang nakita sa pagmumukha ko. Pinatapang ko na naman ang mga mata ko at pinandilatan siya. "What are you looking at me like that?" 

I was caught off guard when he laughed heartily which made the other customers looked at our table. Minsan ko nang nakikita ang ngisi niya at smirk ngayon pero randam kong ginagawa lang niya iyon para mang-asar at mang-inis, pero ang ngumiti o tumawa nang bukal sa loob? Ngayon ko lang nakita. I bit my lip to suppress my smile 'cause part of me is glad to see a glimpse of his genuine happiness. 'Yon ang gusto kong makita kapag makita ko siya ulit at nangyari nga. 

"Anong nakakatawa?" Pinataray ko ang boses ko. 'Di na ako nage-effort na tarayan siya dahil ginagawa ko na sa kanya noong highschool. Maybe, it's my defense mechanism. 

"Masaya lang ako na may writer na gustong tanggapin ng mga readers niya ang pagkatao ko at ang mismong writer na tanggap ang pagkatao ko." he smiled at me and I remained silent. 

Wala akong maapuhap na salita dahil totoo naman ang sinabi niya.

Teen // Coming of Age

Romance is a very popular genre in Webnovels. The first thing that come to mind when we talk about romance are the CEO novels. Even though we don't want to admit it, they are the mainstream romance stories in the Webnovel website. 

So why do people love romance stories? I hope you find the answer while reading this chapter.

----------------------------------

FattyBai: No worries, was just a bit curious. It's always amazing seeing how the Romance genre basically dominates the site.

Parasection: and CEO stories.

FattyBai: So I was sort of curious what the demographics on the reader's sex were. But yeah, it's a fair assumption to say that the ladies rule the site, lol

WWFire: Readers gender stats r ambiguous, it is manipulatable after all.

FattyBai: Unless there's this hidden group of guys who have been starving for CEO romance novels (which would actually be funny).

Parasection: But the sacred texts.

WWFire: All I see are genderless alien. *derp emoticon*

reinesse ♥: kek.

FattyBai: How do we pull in the female readers in if we can't write a romance story? *cry emoticon*

Parasection: No choice but to write yaoi then.

WWFire: We who read these kind of fantasy novels don't live our lives correctly pal.

CailinMatthews: *ghost hug emoticon*

Parasection: Give in to the demons.

WWFire: That's why we escape reality sometimes. 

FattyBai: It's like being offered a big cake and unable to take a slice.

Zehell2218: I think male reader have their own chance and market.

FattyBai: For sure, but it'd be nice to tap into both sides.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai I think I'll make fantasy romance so I can attract both.

FattyBai: I mean, it's not a bad idea, but how do you split it up? 50% romance/50% dragon ball z?


Parasection: The fuq that sounds like an abomination.

FattyBai: It does.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai No it's 80% romance 20% action. *joy emoticon*

Noveljunky: Besides Romance, what else do females like to read?

Parasection: BL, yaoi, drama.

Zehell2218: Still BL is romance.

Anjeeriku: horror lol.

reinesse ♥: @Noveljunky xianxia I think.

Noveljunky: Mmm.

Zenith: Well, need too write romance...kek

Zehell2218: Do female reader like to read apocalypse novel? Quick question since I will make fantasy romance in apocalypse.

[A/N: Sis, did you forget that you're a girl too?]

Totally Not Nano: nah oof.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Aww, man. But then you have to develop characters and write meaningful dialogue.

Zenith: I am probably gonna f*ck up my time trying to make a romance story.

FattyBai: We like blowing stuff up and fighting baddies.

Zehell2218: cmon it will be comedy. *laugh emoticon*

Parasection: The best thing in a novel is character development humor and action romance can be on the side.

Anjeeriku: Romance can be a great sub genre.

Parasection: how does one even write romance? I don't know where to begin with that genre.

FattyBai: I'm a simple guy, I see plot and I drown it in martial arts and manly stuff. Of course, I don't know what feelings are. Can you eat them to increase your cultivation base? *think smart emoticon*

Parasection: I've never experienced romance so i'd fail the moment i'd attempt a story like that.

Zehell2218: Actually, I like to write fighting scene but without romance my reader will kill me. So...yeah I tag it as romance! *joy emoticon*

Parasection: Fight scenes are fun to write.

FattyBai: I'm trying to break through into the "Immortal lonely sperg" phase~

Zehell2218: Very sloooooowww romance.

Anjeeriku: Please no abusive ML @Zehell2218 They're disgusting. idk why women like to read them.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku I don't know if girls who read xianxia will read apocalypse novel too.

reinesse ♥: I wanna write a novel like it's not easy to be a man after traveling to the future.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku No I won't make abusive ML. @reinesse ♥ same *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: @Anjeeriku *cough* TBWWM *cough*

reinesse ♥: And an actual xianxia novel with reasonable characters.

Zehell2218: But without the romance it's bland.

reinesse ♥: Like characters, especially main character who knows how to adjust because extreme pride is not good.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Baby Dragon Truer words have not been spoken, and that scares me.

reinesse ♥: Some villains are really brainless. they can scheme, but they don't have a reasonable reason to do so

Zenith: Kek.

Zehell2218: @Zenith gramps I have idea for fantasy romance lemme tell you after I finish writing and see if it's interesting or not.

Zenith: Get the MC u desire! Yeah @Zehell2218 

FattyBai: I fear becoming a more wholesome and fleshed out human being. Please no development.

Zehell2218: @Zenith It's ok. Just want to see if people will find this good or not. *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: I think there's a formula in getting famous as a writer.

[A/N: Oh? Such formula exist? Teach me Senpai!]

Totally Not Nano: Let's debate about it. *thinking emoticon*

Parasection: The formula is write romance and you're set.

Totally Not Nano: Any genre + xxxxxxx = top 1.

[A/N: Today… I lost faith in humanity.]

Noveljunky: If you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.

Moonbirth: Write a lot. Write everyday. Post a lot everyday... write about what readers want to read about.

Anjeeriku: Write a lot. be a slave. Lol

Elyon knew that "Romance" is not his strong point. He writes a fantasy story with romance, but he can't tell if the romance will be able to attract female readers. Out of curiosity, he asked some of his fellow authors the question "Why do you read romance stories?"

Here are their answers…

Kyosei: Because I am single. 

Reili: To fill my empty void of a love life.

Minrei: Because romance let you feel what is to be loved, plus it is universal you dont need to learn magic or cultivation in order to read.

Bajj: Due to lack of romance irl.

Murakami: I read because I enjoy the friction and conflict between the FL and ML. The insistence vs resistance is naisu.

Qin: I reads romance only for ideas and info.

VlassisBehrakis: I don't read romance novels.

[A/N: Oof I asked the wrong person.]

Elyon then  ̶a̶m̶b̶u̶s̶h̶e̶d̶ asked some readers about their opinion about romance novels.

Yin: I read romance novels because I want that kind of drama to happen to me in real life. But I know it will never happen haha.

A Certain Irresistible Meowlin: I wonder why? And I do read romance novels. Though the chance of me dropping them is also the highest out of all the genres. Every so often I come across a scene that makes me just want to squeal and fangirl. 

----------------------------------

Elyon decided to dig deeper and asked a few of his senior "romance authors" some questions about their reason for writing romance stories.

The first question is… Why did you choose to write Romance Stories?

Anjeeriku: I'm comfortable writing romance stories compared to other genres. I'm a helpless romantic person and I like novels that can invoke other people's feelings.

Bajj: First of all, I like reading romance story. It was the reason why I read books before and reading other genres comes after. All in all, due to these romance fiction books, I got the opportunity to read more great books with different genre.

MishaK: That's what I read, so write that too.

Zehell2218: Because as reader, I want to read romance novel so when I write, I write romance since my motto is I write what I want to read.

Ikazainudin: The easiest genre. Everyone can relate.

End_of_Era: It wasn't a full on Romance, it was slice of life with romance which I feel was necessary with progression of the characters.

----------------------------------


The second question… When you were making your ML and FL, did you imagine yourself as the lead of your story at any given point in time?

Anjeeriku: I would be a liar if I said no. There were instances that I'd put myself in my FL's shoes. Whenever that happens, my writing feels more passionate and truthful that sometimes it was hard to know where my fl starts and where I end. 

Shen Yi, LMD's ML was based on a person I've lost, The One That Got Away so it was sometimes hard not to self-insert whenever there were scenes that need to invoke feelings from readers. 

Bajj: I believe that every character the author was making and breathing life into it, a part of him/her is added to its character. But me imagining of being the ML/FL, never. I'm too pure for that. Kek

MishaK: Yes I did but sometimes. Otherwise you can't infuse emotions in your characters. It is important to understand your characters.

Zehell2218: Yes, I imagine myself as the lead. Of course, I tweak it a bit, such as in age and appearance. But mostly, the characteristics is similar to me.

Ikazainudin: FL and ML character based on what I want to be irl. Yup. I imagine that will be my love story.

End_of_Era: Yes, my leads had some ocassional self insertion.

----------------------------------

The third question… If you were to choose some other genre aside from romance, what would you pick?

Anjeeriku: Fantasy. I always look up to those authors who can write fantasy stories/novels well. I believe writing a fantasy novel is harder than writing romance. 

[A/N: Ahem! 10 points to Griffindor!]

Bajj: Horror/thriller/Action. Read GGGB godamnit! [Good Girl Gone Bad]

MishaK: I am writing a Fantasy romance aside from regular vanilla romance *smile emoticon*

Zehell2218: Fantasy, magical realism, fan fiction.

Ikazainudin: Psychological/horror and maybe children story.

End_of_Era: The new genre I'm writing is fantasy/violent .

----------------------------------


The fourth and final question… If you were to give a message to your beloved readers, what would it be?

Anjeeriku: I'm sorry for not being inconsistent with updates. Y'all know I love you, but a little consideration and patience as I face this rough patch in my life would be very much appreciated.

Bajj: Vote me please :* mass release comes after, deal?

[A/N: Oof!]

MishaK: Be responsible in reviewing the book you are reading. Authors love to listen from their readers. So talk to them.

Zehell2218: Beloved reader, your author here is working hard to provide your daily dose so pliz pretty pliz, read my chapter using paid SS since I don't get even a penny for free SS. 

Tips: use free SS on translation novel. The translator still get money and use paid SS on original novel so we can get a bit money to continue living *wink*

Ikazainudin: I want readers to know, that love, hope and miracles exist. Be open and value each moment of your life like the MC's did.

Author's Thoughts

Hello Guys! I hope you enjoyed this chapter of WWCG. Personally, I've read a few CEO novels myself. I also read some FL stories like A Slight Smile Is Devastating (Love O2O), Hidden Marriage, Doomed to be Cannon Fodder, Transmigrator meets Reincarnator, A Mistaken Marriage Match: A Generation of Military Counselor, There Is an Angel in That Church (short story), Eight Treasures Trousseau, Grabbing Your Hand, Dragging you Away, A Mistaken Marriage Match: Record of Washed Grievances…

Ai~ there's a few more that I won't add to the list because it will create a wall of text. Well anyways, the reason why I read these stories is to get an idea on "WHY" the ladies love to read them.

Let's just say that it's a unique way to see a world in the eye of a lady (if you are a man of course). When done properly, the execution of the story can capture the hearts of anyone, even male readers. I believe that no matter what gender you are, as long as you find the story interesting then it doesn't matter whether you are a guy or a gal no?

Perhaps, when I'm not too busy to write my stories, I'll once again pick a romance novel to read. Hopefully, I will find another hidden gem that will bring unexpected surprises to anyone who are lucky enough to find them.

P.S I would like to thank my fellow authors, especially my senior romance authors who answered some of my questions regarding romance novels. 

To my senior authors, May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the Power Stones shine warm upon your face, and Spirit Stones fall soft upon your fields. (￣▽￣)ノ

Jia Hyson finds he has hit the jackpot after he dies. 

He's got a system! He's a transmigrator! So cool! 

System: "Please help us fix the plot." 

Jia Hyson: "Of course!" 

System: "Firstly there are too many love interests." 

Jia Hyson: "Okay." 

System: "The main character is too annoying." 

Jia Hyson: "Um." 

System: "Needs more world building." 

Jia Hyson: "..."  

Oi, is he fixing the plot or is he rewriting the whole damn thing?!

(This is bl/yaoi/danmei btw)

"Ding!" 
.
A loud sound from the depth of his soul echoed in his mind, awaken him from that endless darkness. 
He slowly opens the eye. What greets him is a vast space that looks like in a sci-fi movie. A 30 meter huge and vast area surrounded by a white wall made from unknown material, a holographic projection, and several huge monitors that hanging on the wall shows an image of a starry sky and vast spaces. 
Xiao Ran's eyes showed a confused and blank look. 
And he was sure that anyone who woke up and found out they're not on their bed would also think like this: "This… Where is this? How can I be here?"
Xiao Ran didn't need to wait until his head became clear, for he heard a voice on his ears that could even reach the depths of his soul.
.
"Ding!"
"Welcome to Space Fortress Prometheus"
"Your serial number is 678."
"The region that you've assigned in is Real World, where you can only execute a mission in Real World Mecha Mission."
"In 30 minutes, you will enter a Mission World to carry out your first mission. This mission level is Beginner Level, and there will be no veteran pilots involved."
"You have 30 minutes to familiarize yourself with this fortress."
"Your current attribute is: 
Hit 2 (2) affects your ability in shooting ability and accuracy.
Skill 1 (1) affects your ability in fighting ability and strength.
Reflex 6 (6) affects your ability in reaction speed and sensitivity.
Spirit 8 (8) affects your ability in Skill consumption and perception.
Physique 3 (3) affects your ability in inner body quality and endurance.
(The figures in the brackets represent the standard values, and the values outside the brackets represent the current body values)
Skill: None.
Comprehensive Evaluation: No rating."
.
After being dazed for a few moments, he opened both eyes wide, and his mouth into a big "O" shape, add in the fact that he was barefooted and wearing blue colored Doraemon pajamas, his current looks are quite hard to describe.
A few minutes later, Xiao Ran remembered the 30 minutes deadline. He slapped himself, the crisp sound, and the burning pain on his face made him realized that all of this was not a dream but an undeniable fact.
"What the hell? Is this God's domain?" Xiao Ran looked upwards and shouted while feeling dumbfounded.
The cold and emotionless voice echoed on Xiao Ran's ear: "This is the Real World Section of the Prometheus Fortress. It's located at the center of the universe and acts as a junction point for other worlds aside from your original world, the one who made this of the universe is the Lord God, and I am the Master System that manages everything here."
Xiao Ran didn't think that the voice will reply to his question, but considering the voice's answer, everything that happened today is by no means a dream, but the cruel reality. Even those who never felt fear would feel some from this. To pull you out from another dimension and bring to this place, only a God or a super-advanced alien civilization could do that, anyway no matter who it is; he has no means to resist nor offend them.
Stretch your heart, according to their very heartbeat, and there are indeed some unknown panic and fear.
By feeling his pulse, you could see some panic and fear for the unknown, but there was also some trace of excitement that can be detected from it, "How did I come here" Xiao Ran asked
"There's a program circulating in every galaxy of the universe. It is the key to Prometheus Fortress. Once a person downloaded and opened it on their terminals, they will be summoned to this place."
"Program? Terminal?" Xiao Ran's face suddenly became a bit strange. He remembered that due to the habit of playing games before he sleeps, last night, he downloaded a game without any description to his mobile phone, the game only shows the pictures of robot wars, Gundams, Zakus, and Sebastian's Gaus mech.
As Xiao Ran was an avid fan of these things since childhood, he immediately downloaded the game as soon as he saw it. More importantly, he remembered that the game's size was a conspicuous 0. Checking it by opening the game made him see a non-stop rotation which forced Xiao Ran asleep, after waking up, he was already on this place.
Xiao Ran smiled to himself. There's no one to blame for him being on this place other than he and his hand, due to not having anything to do at night, playing games became his habit before sleeping.
He was feeling a bit uncomfortable, mainly because of a certain empty feeling in his heart, but seeing that he only has 15 minutes left, Xiao Ran forced his mind to clear up and asked: "Are there other people on this fortress? Why am I the only one here right now?"
"The Prometheus Fortress convenes everyone who downloaded the keys from every part of the galaxy in every universe when you finish the beginner task, and you'll be able to go to the other areas of the realm and talk to the other participants."
His delicate eyebrows frowned. This time he noted some important words – everywhere in the universe, that is to say, there are other people on Prometheus, or you could say a LOT of people, but they didn't come from the same galaxy nor planet as him. Xiao Ran didn't know how aliens look like, or if they couldn't be known as a "person" but he assumed that there wouldn't be a significant difference from the "humans" of Earth right?
"However, in the place of Jianghu, there are strong and weak people" Xiao Ran suddenly remembered this phrase from a game and the truth lies on it, seeing his attributes in front of him, he asked "How good are my attributes in this place? I mean, as a new guy?"
"You belong to the real world of science and technology, your planet's technology and body development are far behind compared to other planets that can receive the key program, so having low quality and unskilled attributes is pretty normal for you."
Xiao Ran felt drenched in cold sweat, the cold and emotionless voice answers his questions as if they're irrelevant, but it explained the details of his current situation.
"What are the other people's basic attributes? Are there no other people from Earth?" Xiao Ran asked again: "You mentioned a mecha task before, is the pilot attribute related to this? What about this Real World, is there another area beside this one?"
"In the Prometheus fortress, the average attributes of a Real-World newcomer are between 15-20, but you can't rule out the emergence of high profile newbies, and most people will have one or two skills open to them." The mechanical voice seemed to be void of emotions. Still, at this time, it seemed to be puzzled: "Logically speaking, people like you should be unable to get the key and be summoned to this place, the probability of someone on the same situation being here on Prometheus Fortress is close to zero."
Out of six billion people, it had to be him. Xiao Ran almost collapsed when faced with these words.
"The pilot is who controls the mecha, and your attributes reflect your skills, with higher attributes you can pilot a stronger mech, and even when you're not piloting one they can also make you stronger. You can get combat points from completing tasks and use them to your attributes, you can also exercise on your own to improve your attributes, at the same time you could also use the combat points to buy items or skills, and for the maintenance of your equipment as well."
Pilots, mechas, combat points, attributes, equipment, these words were firmly engraved on Xiao Ran's mind, for they are related to his life and death. Especially the pilot and mecha, these two words made Xiao Ran feel a lot of excitement due to it being similar to animes and games. Being able to pilot mecha is a man's romance, and for this reason, he could face the danger that would come to his head-on.
"The Prometheus fortress is divided into the Real World, Super World, and Fantasy World. Each world has a limited contact time with the mission worlds, and the tasks they need to perform are different, the same with the rewards that you will receive for each mission."
With their ongoing conversation, Xiao Ran realized something about this world. The entirety of Prometheus seems to be a place dominated by Mechas, and they're needed to finish the assigned tasks on each mission world, and the more powerful you become, the more stuff you could gain.
Xiao Ran somehow still felt a bit lucky and thinking: 'The Real World, Super World, and Fantasy World should be corresponding to the robots of each mission world, the real mecha series, the super mecha series, and the fantasy mecha series. Although I don't know anything about the super mecha systems, I'm still fortunate that I'm in the most secure and stable area, so I won't just die from mechas of the Super World without even knowing what I'm facing.'
"Can I still return to my original world?" Xiao Ran asked the most pressing issue.
"Your current authority doesn't allow you this knowledge. Your current authority is Private Soldier."
Xiao Ran frowned: "And the method to rank up?"
"By completing the tasks that were given by the Lord God and obtaining the needed war points to enhance your authority rank."
Although he didn't get the desired answer, the mechanical voice didn't deny the possibility of him going back to Earth. It seemed as if the people back home appeared on Xiao Ran's heart, giving him hope. He took a deep breath and asked indifferently: "I want to know the mission information."
"The task you're going to perform is a group beginner mission. The task is not selectable. The info about this task will be display in front of you."
The holographic display in front of Xiao Ran suddenly changed. After looking at the data displayed, his heart suddenly jumped, and his breathing became faster. With a trembling voice, he asked: "You just said that I'm probably the only man from Earth, is there anyone who will know the situation of the mission world beforehand?"
"What you've just said is impossible. Whenever a task is complete, you will return to this fortress. And without any special items, the Lord God will automatically clear all of the memory you've gained from that world aside from the most basic ones. Only when you return to that same world will the memories return."
Xiao Ran's eyes became bright: "What about the memories you've obtained outside the mission period?"
The mechanical voice replied: "Those memories will not be clear during the task."
"Hahaha…." Xiao Ran couldn't stop laughing to the point tears started to form in his eyes: "Although I don't know where exactly is this, or even if the other people from outside of the universe is super strong, here I have all the advantage that I could get."
At this moment, the picture on his virtual display is of an anime from Earth that has action figures, movies, and games of it. Although only a film was showing, and there's no explanation about it at all, he recognized it at first sight, because it is the most famous mecha series from Earth, the Gundam.
It displays the beginner mission world, and the picture shows Earth and the vast surrounding hourglass-shaped satellite colonies on it.
.
Beginner World, Gundam Seed, will start in…..5…..4….3….2….1….Begin!

The infinite fortress of time, Prometheus, is a crossover point for the countless worlds of machine wars. Our protagonist Xiao Ran was put into high pressure due to having only attributes that do not exceed 10, making him as weak as a chicken. But being familiar with the storyline of each mission world, Xiao Ran exclaimed that the world would be his.
