WitheringLeaf

(Editing in Progress) 

This novel is about an ordinary man, just like me and you, embarking on the journey of cultivation. He had always dreamed of using Qi, travelling across universes, comprehending the different Daos in the universe. But it is no longer a dream for him.

Shen Long, the MC, is a big fan of light novels who reads on a daily basis. (Relatable, right?) Out of boredom, he attempted to follow the manual, "Wildland Magic of the Suns", in the novel and found out... nothing f***ing happened. But he did not give up as he believed he was destined to become a cultivator who would rule the world.

One day, after reading his 90th Xianxia novel, he followed the Qi Exercise Manual and unexpectedly felt his blood moving faster than it ever had. No. He was not getting a heart attack, but the manual he followed was actually legitimate! Excitedly, he rushed out of his room and delivered this "good news" to his parents. His parents almost took him to the doctor...

This story is about Shen Long, the first cultivator of his Era. He rises to prominence and becomes the best in the world. (He is the only cultivator in his world...) However, in the whole universe, he is nothing but an ant. Although he started cultivation only at the age of 16, he has his own advantages - knowledge from the Modern World. Even items and characters from light novels appears seldomly in this cultivation world. 

Facing the harsh reality, Shen Long's childish personality slowly changes. Step by step, gradually turning into a proper MC, a cultivator. Follow Shen Long as he slowly climbs his way to the top!

Cultivator from the Modern World

Hey everyone! To those who have supported my novel throughout the years, I'm truly thankful. Without you guys, I wouldn't have continued writing... even though I abandoned the story half way. Yet, you guys still continue to support me via the comment section.


I feel guilty. I feel shameful. I feel embarrassed. Because of my laziness & inability, I dropped this novel. It's not that I don't enjoy writing, but it really is hard. It's hard to continue my story since it developed too quickly and now I'm not too sure of where the novel is going..


But regardless - hey, I'm back. I will continue to write. Not for me, but for you readers out there - who read my work. 


So I have two suggestions. Please tell me what you guys think via discord/comments.


1. Rewrite/edit the story - and post the chapters again from chapter one.  I may disregard the Artificial Intelligent Arc, re-write some bits that aren't well written, decorate and improve my writing quality. Don't worry - the plot, MC, cultivation methods won't change.


I will promise at least 3 chapters a week, not accounting the old chapters. This would help me to develop my story, and at least know what I was/am writing about. Quality should improve drastically.


2. Continue writing... in expense of quality. It's a viable method but the story may not end up as well as it should. 


I will try write 3ch/week, but i may get another writer's block since the story lacks a clear direction.


Well, I am just trying to see if there even is any active reader remaining. Please send me a message so I know you guys are still out here waiting for me!


Also - yeah offer me some advice/incentives/power stones so this story can go on!


Yes - I'm busy. I have to apply for universities next year, and I'm going for the top schools. I should probably focus on academics to maximize my chances, but oh well, too bad i like u guys and i like my book too. if you guys can support me financially as well, it would be great. but obvs, i dont expect any since i don't even post...


just read my book and reply to me and that's all i ask for! for now ;)
