Long time no see, this is the author. Just to let you know, the writing process is going well ( at least to some extents) except for occasional pauses( which is normal). Btw I create an Instagram account recent ly, to post some of my writing process updates. Feel free to contact me there if u like. Wish you all good! Yours, Masterless Sword, from China, 2021.02.01
Thanks for your questions. 1. I believe most of the Chinese authors who have novels translated on Webnovels seldom (at least not so often) read English comments due to the language barrier. 2. I got inspired from reading classic western fantasy novels (LotR, asoiaf, The Chronicles of Amber, The Farseer Trilogy, Neil Gaiman, Brandon Sanderson…),and from some of my master program classes (about state, society building & development…), and from of course ample documents of ancient Chinese history. Thank you for your comment!
Some of the chapters are banned due to strict censorship on internet writing in China. As for the translation dropped, the Qidian management has been reorganized 3 months ago and I guess they adjust their commercial strategies. Apparently my novel (translation for oversea selling) is not profitable enough to be in their future plan (And I also heard rumors about their budget cut in oversea business).
