Otherworldly Continents and Alternate-History Novels
A collection of substantial, carefully written Western or Eastern fantasy novels with expansive worlds, including otherworldly continents, epic wars, and alternate history. Mostly low to mid magic, with an emphasis on realism, immersion, and conveying meaningful ideas. Worth rereading, and no one-shot-kills-ten-thousand stuff! I may also recommend books for friends, of course.

Let's put it this way, Game of Kings will probably be free forever. The author is not planning to sign the contract. To be honest, I actually knew from the beginning that "Game of Kings" would be unpopular with editors. Firstly, the traditional Western fantasy theme was unpopular. Secondly, there was no market without China. Thirdly, I felt that there were some shortcomings in what I had done. First of all, I was actually not very satisfied with the beginning of the medieval world route in "Game of Kings" (I added the prologue later), so I worked hard to make amends in the middle and later stages, especially after the Battle of Woodwind City. The plot made me feel slightly satisfied, but there were still many minor problems. I can feel that "Game of Kings" is slowly improving, and I once had the desire to sign in on the site. Unfortunately, "Game of Kings" is destined to be unpopular, and the contract failed even for 200,000 yuan. Therefore, I made the decision that "Game of Kings" will be free forever. This is dedicated to those who support me and lovers of serious fantasy such as "A Song of Ice and Fire". I will still insist on completing the planned Kings Trilogy, which may take a lot of time, and I am prepared to meet some great masters from Qidian who cannot sign a million-word contract. Thank you all for witnessing the glory of "Game of Kings" single-handedly reaching the twelfth place on Qidian's new book list, for witnessing her transformation from 0 tickets to more than 2,000 tickets, from 0 collections a day to 1,314 collections now. Unfortunately, "Game of Kings" never became a popular work, and the author thought about giving up, but finally decided to persevere. I only hope that everyone can like "Game of Kings", and that one day "Game of Kings" can take a small step forward for China in the traditional fantasy world. Even if it is a negative teaching material, one day, China will also be able to produce world-renowned epic fantasy like "A Song of Ice and Fire" and "The Lord of the Rings". "The Three-Body Problem" has taken an important step for Chinese science fiction with a poor foundation. One day, there will be works that will take a milestone step for Chinese fantasy.
Recently, I have been planning to revive the King of Kings. I couldn't bear it and I and my companions conceived the general story of "Game of Kings ZERO". I will update this article from time to time with a trial reading at the end of the novel. About "Game of Kings ZERO", the prequel to Kings, it dates back to the epic era of the medieval continent, which is the story of "Saint King Sebastian" and the "Six Knights of the Apocalypse" as the bards call it. It tells the origin of the Seven Kingdoms, which is different from the main story of Kings in terms of era. There are familiar names and a lot of unfamiliar backgrounds. This article is intended to be a separate article. Both old readers and new readers hope to be surprised.
Ha, is this the style of A Song of Ice and Fire? The writing is excellent, the writing style is outstanding, and the plot is interlocking without falling into clichés. The author can perfectly turn his thoughts into words and present them to readers. Great, quite great. The writing style is not Western fantasy, but it is definitely the best in domestic fantasy writing.
Let me know if there is anyone who has been following the update until now, and I will show you the Eastern version of Game of Kings in advance.
If you have any suggestions you can make on this level, comments are welcome.
The lockdown was actually released and I cried...
I really admire the author's ability to act, but neither the narrative technique nor the writing skills are enough to support the huge background setting. Whether it is a Western fantasy story or a story about cultivating immortality, the most important thing is not the setting, but the plot. Just like special effects movies, countless people watch them, but the ones that make their mark in film history are always feature films. The setting is too big, too complex, and the angle of entry is not very good. I suggest you write more short stories with the same setting and continue to expand your reading. To put it simply, writing about a fantasy world must be as readable as the Harry Potter series. For various grand settings, you might as well look at The Legend of Galaxy Heroes, the Kyushu series, and the Base series. We don't even need to take the grand narrative so seriously. The main storyline of The Lord of the Rings is just the story of the Fellowship of the Ring and a few human beings. It's not that Western Fantasy is unsuitable for Chinese tastes. Mercenaries of the World and Zichuan both had very good results in their early years. But first you must have the ability to tell a good story. Looking forward to better works from the author.
Already collected, come on! A masterpiece will be a hit!
I got goosebumps after looking at the works, the level is quite high! Come on! Congratulations on the fire!
This book was already finished when I saw it, and I don't know if the author can read it. However, I still express my opinion. Many people like to watch Game of Thrones, but how many of them feel immersed in it? I also like watching Broke Sisters, but I would never think it has anything to do with our lives. So you see we are very similar to Americans in that we don't care about things that have nothing to do with us. We only care about whether our external environment has become worse again and whether we have become stronger again. However, the author's so-called pure Western fantasy has nothing to do with us. It has nothing to do with the characters, environment and world. It seems that it was not written for Chinese people. Why should we read it? Since what you write is a Chinese Western fantasy, please relate it to the Chinese. You didn't write it for us. Of course there are people who like this style of writing and would like to read it, but I don't like it, and it seems that there aren't many people who like it.
I am 18 years old today. Thank you for supporting the kings all the way. I hope the stories of the kings will get better and better.
