What do you see Whysee? 
Do you think fang xia was nude for the whole time after he was trapped?

Also it insane fang xia was just trapped that whole time, Oh why do you think he was trapped?

Oh what is your favourite novel not from wuxiaworld, and one on wuxiaworld.

I had an inkling of doubt about whysee's gender considering them being very polite almost japanese like in their response, dedication & bot like commitment when it comes to making corrections in the chapters and was about to ask that as a question but .. "

Also for a question,

1.) How many chapters will this novel end at (predictably or otherwise) and when will the mystery regarding the Black Pagoda will ever be solved ? 

2.) How does whysee make corrections to the typos in chapter which we mention through comments; so fast ? 

3.) Does whysee like cats or dogs more ? :classic_happy:

I see…


Maybe he started off clothed, then went nude cuz he couldn't give any more shits since no one is looking. I have no idea hahahaha. Lol he’ll explain why he got trapped soon.

 

Damn, I read a huge variety of novels, some originally written in English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc. Some are great if you like fun reads, some are more serious, so I can’t really pick an objective favorite as it depends on my mood. If there’s one in particular that caused my worldview to undergo a paradigm shift, it will probably be Worm by John C. McCrae. As for one on Wuxiaworld, I would say Star Odyssey is the one that made a pretty big impact on me.

This novel outclassed IET's ongoing novel (Cosmic Professional Gladiator) on CN ranking charts when it was ongoing, that's the tea I've heard. Why?

Well this is news to me as well haha. All I heard of is that it got into the top 20 rankings on qidian some time back and everyone was interested to see why it was so popular. I'm not 100% but yea. I've never read Cosmic Professional Gladiator so I can't really compare the two, but I do know IET is pretty popular. 

I can't say why this is the case for sure, but I think it's pretty addictive. Lots of mysteries to solve, exciting showdowns and big reveals to look forward to. The worldbuilding is also pretty well done. So perhaps that's why we readers keep wanting more haha.

Noo I got outed hahaha. I joked that I was a dude once during a dm with someone, hope he doesn't come after me when he finds out 😅 

 

1) The raws have already ended at CN chapter 732. Based on an average of 3000 CN characters per EN chap, there will be around 1.4k EN chaps. 

As for the black pagoda, I’ve read up till chap 374 of the raws and Wu Yuan unlocks several more interesting features as he cultivates, but as for the mystery surrounding where it came from, there’s no explanation as of yet. I’m guessing that the big reveal might be tied to him being able to travel back to the Blue Planet.
 

2) TLs have our own portal where we can filter out the latest comments and read them in one go, so I scan through them every few hours or so, or at least once a day. 

As the sole person working on this novel, I understand that mistakes are bound to happen every now and then. However, when everyone pitches in to help identify these errors, it truly feels like we're all part of a community working together to enhance the reading experience for others. I'm incredibly thankful for your support, and it gives me a huge boost of motivation to rectify these errors promptly.

 

3) Hehe I think both are adorable but I have a particularly soft spot for kittens. I think I'll adopt one when I get my own house someday.

Will there be an ascension arc? 

Hmm the entire story is one long ascension arc haha. I might be misunderstanding your qn but..

Spoiler

WY does become a disciple under two masters, and go through a trial somewhere down the road where he unlocks more features of the black pagoda and in turn gets more power boosts. With that, he's able to take the 'supreme cultivation path' or something like that.
