A Place for Fantasy
For a work to count as fantasy, in the narrow sense of the term, it needs a complete world of its own. Stories that grow out of such a world are what we call fantasy. The first category is mainstream fantasy, or epic fantasy. Often compared with sword-and-sorcery fantasy, it focuses on grander themes and broader plots. Rather than individual adventures, it deals with political struggles, wars between nations, and the fate of the world. Works in this category tend to be meticulously written and r

Autumn Has Arrived
Autumn has arrived, bringing gentle rain, quiet joy, and falling leaves from the parasol trees. Laughter follows soft whispers, while shadows meet beneath the moon. Autumn has arrived, wrapped in endless, misty haze. Hearts change with time, and the old city walls are streaked with tears. Autumn has arrived: a feast of books and knowledge. I'm here. Where are you?

I only read the synopsis, not the main text, but I just want to ask: why must gods and mages be pitted against each other? Gods represent ideals and hope, but don't mages have ideals too? Those who hope for order believe in order, those who pursue love believe in love. Gods maintain the laws of the plane, the workings of the world—aren't they worthy of reverence? Aren't they favored by the will of the world?
It was a good book, a pity it was abandoned.
Update issue!
The author was very busy in December and January, so I couldn't update every day. For now, I'll update once every two days. I will resume daily updates starting January 20th, and will also try to update more frequently. Thank you for your support! 🙏
Perhaps for the strong, gods are an obstacle, but for millions of mortals, gods are their last line of defense in this world. The strong can slaughter mortals at will, but gods cannot, because mortals are the foundation of the gods. Without gods, mortals would have no human rights, and their value would diminish infinitely until they had no reason to exist.
Arcane mages still rely on external forces like the magic network or the elements. I'm speechless. It's like how cultivators nowadays rely on spiritual energy. In this degenerate age, they're just useless. They still need an inexhaustible power. That's true strength.
What a pity, such a good book, but with the same style as the pretentious Fan.
The protagonist doesn't say anything, discovers problems, or report them, yet he wants to change the future? He can only change himself.
From the beginning, you can tell this book is about a financial collapse; copper and silver coins have lost their value. A single potion would require decades of effort from ordinary people. How much would a mercenary need to collect per mission to break even? I feel like if everyone were frugal and didn't use potions, they could become landlords after a few missions.
I've been wondering why all three Arcane Emperors are women, and why most of the characters I encounter are female. Will they develop a harem later on?
Let's relentlessly criticize the belief-based deification system... Just like the God of Light back then... The brainwashing tactics used to vilify the novel's plot have made people frown at the mere mention of the God of Light.
