My mind’s eye has been working up the worst cover art ever for this “novel”. Goku or whomever in an uncomfortable position – drawn badly. This is the “novel” in question – i.e. a web-link title to entice the click-happy to click. I highly doubt the thing runs to more than 3 or 4 pages of actual text. This ‘plot’ is just set up to provide the punch-line for the (big) joke.

So much of this is for me a sociological study of a character who became a mass-market phenomenon. What does that mean about the mass of people reading such a character? Why was this particular (adult) fantasy so very satisfying to a variety of audiences in different cultures? The creator of such a character is a footnote. The main text of such a character’s impact, even if minor, is of extreme interest to me. It’s a fascinating study of how niche material of this sort can spread to unknown reaches of the internet, evolving along the way. There’s a textbook in this.

Write a pre-writing ritual to get yourself in the ‘zone’. This can be making a special tea, listening to a particular playlist, looking over notes from previous sessions. Mine is five minutes of absolute useless free writing to get all the nonsense out of your brain first, then you can start to focus on actual writing of the project for the session.
Minimise distractions by using apps to block your social media for the period of time you need to concentrate. The biggest killer of a productive writing session is the tendency to keep checking back for something.

Anonymous author, huh? The mystery is piqued enough for me to look into whatever this project is. A solo, anonymous author usually produces either something extraordinary or utterly off-kilter. This could be interesting, either way.

It’s quite interesting to see how a story like this comes to be. I figure the author is probably some Japanese web novelist writing under a pseudonym on ‘Shousetsuka ni Narou’. The English title of this story is a fairly ‘clickbait’ translation of the Japanese, and the author’s handle on the novel-posting site where they originally wrote it is probably something like ‘Kenja no Mado’ or ‘Maou no Deshi’. These writers rank their stories based on average user rating and average page count read by viewers.
' MILF HUNTER' is most likely a mid-ranked novel that didn’t get much attention. A literary B-movie. Written by an author trying to cash in on a trend or simply having fun writing this story. Locating the author would require accessing Japanese online forums and understanding the culture surrounding these websites where novelists post their work. A culture largely inaccessible to the English speaking fan. Thus we’re left with this translated title and a vague sense of its origins.

'Cloud Sky' by unknown author is the other novel I’ve been reading. It’s a power fantasy from the worst possible angle but it’s written well enough that I won’t list out all the things that the author is avoiding in order to get to the id of his readers and feed it to them without judgment.

This is a synthesis, and all syntheses can be meaningful. No one would ever accuse a fusion restaurant of not being authentic to any of the single cuisines that it combines. Kamar-Taj, the fictional place where half of Doctor Strange takes place, draws from various spiritual traditions, including Buddhist mindfulness, Hindu cosmology, Western uses of magic in ceremonies, and quite a bit of fiction. So long as it is somehow meaningful, and internally consistent, then that is all that matters.
It’s passing the test of most viewers in that it feels like a real location with real dogma. In some ways it’s even become a tradition within the Marvel Universe, complete with a history, schisms (like Mordo’s defection) and places where it’s evolving.

H.D. Carlton. This woman’s name makes me think of so many things but mostly of the feelings she evokes in her readers. For so many, her name means “this book made me feel things I wasn’t prepared to feel” and that’s a pretty powerful legacy.
Whether those feelings were good or bad is sort of beside the point. She made people feel things deeply. In an age of endless nearly indistinguishable-from-each-other content, it’s pretty cool to write a book that leaves an indelible mark. Some marks are scarlike, others thrilling. Carlton’s authorship of deeply affecting work is her defining characteristic and sets her apart in the contemporary literary conversation.

Chugong is the writer of the web novel. For other works, he mostly writes Solo Leveling universe stories. That would include the main story and side stories, and for now, that is the extent of his works. He seems to be throwing his full weight into developing the Solo Leveling IP into all sorts of different media instead of starting something entirely new.

My two cents: Chapter 7 writing improved dramatically. Sharper dialogue and more vivid descriptions of scenes. I wonder if the author has suddenly “hit his stride” or if someone else is suddenly contributing to the writing. Perhaps, it is a collaboration that started with one writer and has recently been influenced by a writer friend who is more technically sound. These kinds of style changes occur frequently in online serials because the author receives feedback immediately and the writer adapts to that feedback as he writes. The author is not a fixed entity. Rather, he is a process.
