Synopsis

A world of Lovecraftian horror with martial arts. (Someone called it a strawberry dumpling today, which was a little…)

The hard parts of writing martial arts are the fights and the worldbuilding. For Lovecraftian horror, it's keeping the unknown unknowable.

I think I've done a pretty good job with the fights, and I hope everyone enjoys them.

As for the Lovecraftian story, all I can say is that this is basically Lovecraftian Musou. After all, the protagonist has a giant alarm clock-like ability similar to Ghroth.

The story actually began with a single thought: "For humanity, the best god is one without human feelings. It simply carries out its divine duties objectively, regardless of whether the people it acts upon are poor or rich, wise or foolish."

After reading that, my only thought was: "Isn't that just an axiom, theorem, formula, or law?"

You can learn it and use it. There's no need for sacrifices, offerings, incense, or money.

Take an unknown axiom, theorem, formula, or law, give it animal and human qualities, then pair it with an indescribable, unseeable, incomprehensible appearance, and you have a god from a Lovecraftian world.

This series began with the Black Pharaoh. He sacrificed slaves again and again, and in the end earned Nyarlathotep's "favor." A god's favor, at the cost of other people's lives. I kept thinking that if there were more people like him, someone extraordinary ought to step in and stop them.

They wouldn't stop people from learning about the unknown. They would stop people from exploring it by treating human lives as expendable.

This is a series, and there are two more books to come. Feel free to follow along. I know myself that it may take until the next two books before the series gets a little popular.

I hope you'll give me a chance. Thank you in advance.

Any Pure Wuxia Novels?

Any good martial arts stories? People hardly write wuxia these days. I miss it. Nowadays, everyone gets a System and cheats their way to immortality and godhood, with divine physiques and all that. I'm sick of it. It's so boring. I want to feel the thrill of roaming the world with a sword and settling scores with a sense of justice.

It's been a long time since I've read the last page. This one is really good. The emotions are very delicate, and the plot is intricately connected. Every seemingly insignificant character eventually finds their place. Everything in this story feels very real.

The writing is delicate, the outline is clear, and after reading more than a hundred chapters, I found it to be both cheerful and melancholic. This book is suitable for those seeking a healthy lifestyle. Although it's not a fast-paced, lighthearted read, the life depicted is enviable. After reading it, I felt as if I were there, and it felt very real and unpretentious, and also very engaging.
