(The first few chapters have few exciting moments and are mostly setup.)
You’re right, but *Hyacinths Fade Across the Prairie in an Instant* is a postmodern, surreal fantasy with a bit of sci-fi, written on a whim thanks to the confidence bestowed upon me by the God of Fate. The story takes place in a fantasy world called “Altaina.” There, those who come into contact with Originium gain elemental magic and can channel the power of the elements. After Yang Yulong gets hit by a big truck for speeding while delivering takeout, he is reincarnated on the continent of Altaina, into the dying half-elf Haisen. But Haisen’s soul is still there... Meanwhile, the [Milky Way Reincarnation Headquarters] that brought him here is plotting a massive, heaven-defying scheme against Altaina. In this fantastical and surreal continent, Yang Yulong will gradually defeat powerful foes and meet companions with all sorts of abilities and attributes, while also uncovering the truth about “Originium.”
