Dragon Canon

Zhang Sheng, a peerless prodigy, was just going about his business when he accidentally altered the fate of Wei Yuan, a baby boy who had just been born in the Wei estate. Their karmas became permanently bound since, and the master and disciple would eventually go on to change the world.




As the author’s unserious synopsis summarized rather succinctly, this is a novel about an industrial revolution unfolding in a Xianxia world. The beginning of the story starts off in what seems like another Xianxia/Wuxia world, but it quickly becomes apparent that things aren't quite what they seem. If you pay close attention, you'll notice sprinkles of “Huh?” here and there that keeps you intrigued. I really don’t want to spoil anything, but let's say it's something like finding a digital watch in the Middle Ages. Later, in two hundred chapters or less if memory serves me right, Wei Yuan would stumble upon one of the sources of the incongruity and open his eyes to the almighty power of industrialization. From that point onward, it's it’s “Oh? You’re bringing a sword to a gunfight? How cannon of you!”, baby!




Official Blurb

Wei Yuan had no grand ambitions, but swept along by the currents of his era, he found himself marching across the land and conquering new territories until he had traversed every mountain and pass, all before he grew old.

Unserious synopsis 1: Even immortals are afraid of industrialization! This is an industrial revolution unfolding in a fantasy world.

The Overlord of Puluo

97%
The Overlord of Puluo follows a young man named Li Banfeng, whose mind does not quite work like everyone else’s.

To save his best friend He Jiaqing’s life, he stepped onto Platform No. 96 and boarded the green-skinned train 1160. Upon arriving, he finds himself in a strange realm that resembles 1900s China, but everything runs on steam, and nothing is quite as it seems. Furthermore, he now holds an item that many covet and he must escape the claws of those hunting him.

In this land of peculiarities, there are cultivators of every kind: Wanderlust Cultivator. Homebound Cultivator, Agrarian Cultivator, Hedonism Cultivator, Gourmandism Cultivator, and so many more. Some people can grow two extra heads or can take on the forms of other creatures, while certain cultivators attach hooks to their skulls to use as telephones. There are Jianghu rules that everyone is said to follow, but can someone whose mind works differently truly obey them?

As Li Banfeng ventures deeper into this steam-powered world, questions begin to surface. How did he truly arrive here? Was his best friend really the one who summoned him to Puluo? If so, then who lies comatose in the hospital bed back home? Who is the voice within the gramophone? What other peculiarities await him in this strange land? And when his two cultivation paths finally collide, will he rise to achieve longevity, or lose himself completely to the madness of Puluo? Most importantly, is Li Banfeng… really a sane man?
