Traditional Fantasy Needs Attention Too, Not Just a Million-Word Solo Act!
Traditional fantasy has been part of so many people’s youth, but times have changed. It’s incredibly hard to write a million words solo and make it big now. Platforms don’t give traditional fantasy any traffic support, so I want to start a thread for new books. Post your original new novels here so readers looking for this kind of book can find them.

Hongjun Is Neither Good nor Evil: Looking for Prehistoric Fantasy With Real Depth
The classical meaning of the word Hongjun is “heaven and nature,” and that may be what it means in "Investiture of the Gods" as well. But most prehistoric fantasy stories nowadays portray him as a vicious villain, which I really don’t understand. He is revered alongside the Dao and blends in with the world. How could the Dao be good or evil?

The story is highly readable, showcasing the development of Chinese mythology and explaining many mysteries surrounding the Investiture of the Gods. We eagerly await the story after the Investiture of the Gods. Finally finished! I've waited so long, thumbs up! 👍
This story is 100% true history! It tells of the immortality of our souls, where they come from, from the gods!! It tells of our ancestors and how we evolved, the primordial spirit leaving the body, the physical body being merely clothing, and how the soul descends from heaven to the human world (a small world) to undergo tribulations and perform!
The content is so engaging, you won't want to put it down. Five-star review!
The author must have referenced ancient Greek and Roman mythology, right? By blending ancient myths and legends with historical facts, the author has constructed a uniquely Chinese mythological system and heroic epic. The author's vision is lofty, the ambition is grand, and the hope is that success will be achieved soon.
I'm satisfied with this book; it's well-written and rich in content, definitely worth reading.
Wukong, here I come! The author's writing style is fluent, and the content is interesting and original! A novel worth reading!
This book is rich in content and more exciting than "Investiture of the Gods"! It's worth reading and recommended!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
It's quite good; it organizes Chinese mythology logically. Previously, I always felt it was a jumbled mess, with stories like Hou Yi shooting down the suns, Nuwa patching up the sky, Nuwa creating humans, Kuafu chasing the sun, and Pangu creating the world—there wasn't a coherent timeline. This novel clearly explains the timeline and the reasons behind the stories, and it has a rather imaginative plot.
This book is pretty good; it's mentioned a lot in the Investiture of the Gods.
