A note on the supporting characters. While their storylines are largely subsumed by the main character’s arc in this alternate ending, Annie doesn’t end up with Robin, for example, and is instead leading in this new era of change, leveraging her pragmatic skills to get them through difficult patches. Morris gets the most bittersweet ‘ Resolution’ here – no longer bound by the strictures of the Academy he once so loved to disdain, he becomes a happy man teaching others the creative ways he’d subverted their style. The merc captain Grem is rich and happily retired, having smartly invested in the early stages of Robin’s various schemes. Almost all of Robin’s various enemies are rendered obsolete by the terms of this new world; their power bases for the most part simply cease to exist. It’s all fairly quiet and amiable for everyone but the protagonist, and even then, it ‘Feels Right’.

I've given up trying to keep my bookmarks up to date for this series. The links all die pretty quickly and so I've stopped renaming them. Now I just call them 'Site A (dead)', 'Site B (pop-up hell)', 'Site C (good but only up to ch 30)'. It's a bit of a digital archaeological project really. Reading this series is a bit of a nomadic experience. I'll read a section on one site and then it'll be taken down before I can read the next. I'm hoping that the sections that are currently good will all get transferred to a new, legitimate, site within the next year or two, but until then, if you're not prepared to deal with the instability of a series that hasn't yet crossed over into official English yet, then this series isn't for you. Come back in a year or two.

Honestly? Who cares about a story that one cannot locate easily even through normal channels? If you read this instead, you’d likely get a fractured or low-quality reading experience. There are so many better stories of a similar genre out there, and they are easily accessible. Only go on a wild goose chase for this if you are absolutely certain it is some sort of masterpiece.

As someone who's always hunting for legal ways to read novels online, I've looked into 'God of Malice' quite a bit. The best place to start is the official publisher's website or apps like Webnovel or Dreame, which often have free chapters available as samples. These platforms usually rotate free content, so checking back frequently can score you more chapters without cost. Many authors also release free portions on their personal blogs or social media to attract readers.
Another great option is your local library's digital collection through apps like Libby or OverDrive. Libraries frequently purchase licenses for popular web novels, and borrowing them is completely legal and free. Some university libraries have surprisingly extensive digital fiction collections too. While full free reads are rare for newer titles like 'God of Malice', these methods can give you substantial legal access while supporting the creators. Always avoid shady sites offering pirated content - they hurt authors and often contain malware.

Graphic novels can be notoriously difficult to adapt from the written word, but ‘Lord of the Flies’ has been an unexpected hit for me. By cleverly depicting the chaos, artist Chips Smith creates the sense of a descending spiral through deliberately messy panels, jagged lines and crowded compositions. He has reimagined, not simply re-told, the classic novel in a graphic novel format, showcasing the full capabilities of the medium, whilst remaining true to the original author’s intentions.
For new fans of the story, ‘Lord of the Flies’ is a great new way to experience the novel, and for fans already familiar with the plot, this graphic novel makes a great ‘director’s cut’ style companion to the original novel. Plus, as a collector of classic works reimagined in unique editions, this is a real stand-out to add to your shelves.

Royal Road is your primary source for this story. The entire thing is posted there chapter by chapter, sometimes ahead of Scribble Hub where I also post (it’s one of the largest web fiction hubs out there). I don’t think Royal Road stories are available on platforms like Amazon Kindle Unlimited yet, because they’re growing their audience first online. The formatting on Royal Road is typically clean and I have a follow button there to notify you when I post a new chapter. Be wary of random aggregator sites, because their chapter ordering can be all wrong and they’re overlaid with tons of nasty ads. The best way to read Royal Road stories is to go directly to the author’s Royal Road or Scribble Hub pages to get the latest, up-to-date version.

On a slightly different note, I really want to discuss the use of weather in the ending of Harry Potter. The stormy weather at the climax of the novel, resolving into a cold and calm dawn the next day, is classic pathetic fallacy, but it is absolutely done perfectly. The storm follows the violent revelations of the truth to Harry, the thunder of accusations and the lightning of realization. The calm dawn after is rather more painful. But Harry’s world is a wreck – and it’s a believable wreck. Again, this is not just backdrop, this is a major part of the story. The ending isn’t just a bunch of people saying things – it’s the setting in which they say them, and it’s a world that reflects their inner state. This was just one example of the care that went into crafting the ending of Harry Potter, but it’s a good one.

If you’re having trouble finding the novel, it’s because the novel’s core philosophy of completely amoral, purely competitive pursuit of success violates China’s censorship laws. My novel was originally removed from China’s leading webnovel site, Qidian, in Chinese, after only a short time due to its “inappropriateness”. And, in English, the official full-length translation was removed midway through the story due to similar complaints about “inappropriateness”. Now, the novel has filled a vacuum and become a piece of fandom history that fans are committed to making sure that others can read. Most of the versions of the novel are scattered about online in PDF, EPUB, etc. form, often posted by readers for other readers. Thus, finding a high quality, stable host for the work is difficult because any such host would almost immediately be subject to takedown notices from a variety of complainants.

Where did this come from? Is there some new rumor, some new documentary? Without a new primary source we’re all just rehashing the same observations of the last 20 years. The well is dry.

Has anyone here actually read this? Is it any good? The premise sounds interesting and it’s a thing I’d read. I’m skeptical of web-serials-turned-ebooks, because so many of them have poor pacing, having been written for daily updates as opposed to one, long novel. If it’s worth the money to buy it, or even just to put a hold on it at my library, then I’ll seek it out. But if it’s just going to be mediocre, then no, I won’t go looking for a free ecopy. A brief, spoiler-free review from someone in this thread would be much more useful to me than a link to read it. Quality should get quality effort from me.
