After much preparation, the day of the wedding arrives.
“This is ridiculous.”
Liu Jin’s words are not without merit. Even though the wedding will start in a few hours, the young child is not with his wife. He’s not even inside the main house. Instead, he’s, well...
“Now, no...

On a good day, I can write an entire chapter. One time, I wrote four chapters in one week.
It was a good week.
Now, I know what some of you are probably thinking. “Mat, if you can write four chapters per week, why don’t we get chapters more often?” The answer to that is pretty simple. I ca...

“Truly?”
“Yes, the man coughed right on my face, so I could see how bad his cold was. As it turned out, he didn’t have a cold at all. He did, however, have lots of spit.”
Liu Jin’s voice and face are as flat as they have ever been.
“It was gross.”
Xiao Shuang coll...

At last, the promised day arrives. A week has passed, and it is time for Liu Jin and his father to meet Xiao Zheng. It is time for them to learn the truth.
To Liu Jin’s surprise, Xiao Nan shows up at their doorstep early in the morning. He has brought clothes for them to wear.
“Image, Little Br...

Just letting you guys know, there is a special surprise at the end!
Now, on with the chapter!

Somehow, the door to his fiancée’s room seems bigger than it should be.
Logically, Liu Jin knows there is no reason for him to be nervous. The wedding has b...

The Human Realms of Cultivation
Foundational Realm: The lowest of all Cultivation Realms. The one all humans are born into. People are expected to eventually leave this Realm. Failing to do so is usually a sign that something is wrong. It is also likely to attract quite ...

When it comes to things I like, I’m usually that one guy who posts all his crazy theories online. I can’t help it. When I get into something, my brain keeps coming up with different ways in which the story could go.
One of the weirdest things about writing Ave Xia Rem Y is that now I’m on the other side of the spe...

Bit of an explanation before beginning this one. As some of you may notice, I've changed the title of this chapter. However, that is the only change. The chapter Core Disciples got two weeks ago and the ones Inner Disciples are reading now is the same.
I just messed up with the title...

It's been a week since I made the I've Been Thinking post (Man, am I great with titles or what?). I figure that's enough time for everyone to chime in.
When I made the post, I wasn't expecting the consensus to be for me not do it. The opposite in fact. Shows what I know. In light of that, the Patreon goals will...

It’s impossible. Give it up.
Wait, that sounds a little harsh, doesn’t it? Let me explain what I mean.
Speaking in broad terms, it is not hard to know how the readers are going to react. If your protagonist accomplishes something he has wanted for a long time, the readers will feel happy for him. If something ...

On lowering the goal amounts.
See, when I made the goals, I hadn't taken into account that the amount displayed on the page is what's left after Patreon takes its percentage.
On the one hand, I get it. On the other, well, it means the amount pledged can reach $100, but it won't be enough to reach the g...

Liu Jin thought he had grown used to the weight of everyone’s stares, yet the walk to the Xiao Sect shows him how naive those thoughts had been. The looks are there. The whispers are there. It is nothing he has not seen or heard before.
“Is that him?”
“Haven’t you heard?”

The sun shines brightly as Liu Jin and Old Jiang walk away from Eastern Port City. The two have gone out to gather herbs. For Liu Jin, it is an opportunity to discuss the many events that transpired in New Moon Town with his Master.
“Ho, it certainly seems like you had an interesting time.”

A Body of Extreme Yin.
It is something Liu Jin has only read about in Old Jiang’s books. When he first learned of it, he could scarcely believe such a wondrous condition existed. It seemed more fantasy than reality.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. You have a really good idea in your head. You think it would make a great book. You’re even mostly finished with it. All that’s missing is that one crucial part where you start writing the damn thing.
You sit in front of your computer. The blank document stares b...
