《Upon Blazing Wings》Author Introduction
Advertisement
Hey everyone! Now that the introductory arc is over, I thought I’d take some time to introduce myself, talk about what the expect from his book, and discuss the next arc.
But first, I’d like to thank you, the readers, for all the support you’ve given me so far!
Chapter 5 will be posted shortly after this. It’s a bit wordy and slow in order to properly set up the next arc. Hopefully I can get chapter 6 out by today and possibly chapter 7 as well.
Who am I?
I’m currently a student at the University of Notre Dame. I’m pretty new the the web novel/light novel scene having started reading back in August of this year. I’ve actually never written fiction in my life before, so this will be a new experience.
Why did I choose to write a novel?
It was partially because I wanted to test myself and partially because I was bored. Plus it’s always fun to engage in a hobby you like. I have many reasons as to why I chose xianxia as my genre. The most important reason is simply due to the fact that it’s my favorite type of novel so far. In addition, I always really enjoyed the society and culture that was unique to xianxia novels. The tropes are completely different than say American or Japanese media. Not to mention it seemed easier to write than a high fantasy story or a modern-day story.
What should the readers expect from this novel?
Currently as it stands, it takes me around 4 hours to write 2,000 words--a pace that I hopefully can speed up as I practice more. I generally take another 30 minutes to edit the entire thing. Based on this duration, I plan on releasing roughly a single chapter a day until mid-January when the spring semester begins for college. After that we’ll just have to see how it goes.

I don’t plan on taking events from other xianxia novels and just rewriting them in my own way. Like most authors, I’d like to make my novel unique. There are many ideas I’ve considered implementing, but either way I need to build up the foundation of my story first.
What’s the next arc going to be like?
So the first real arc will be the sect arc. There are many tasks I’d like to accomplish in this arc including:
Refining the MCs personality
Explain more about the world, the various realms, and the current geopolitical situation
Introduce more characters, especially female characters
Events to prove how awesome the MC is
Major life-changing events that shape the MCs desires
None of this is set in stone though.
Anyway once again, thank you all for reading my story. I’ll continue to try my best to write high quality chapters.

A guy reincarnated as a sloth and is too lazy to be a protagonist
Hey, so do you also love a Story about people getting isekai’d into another world into a body of a monster that can evolve? Yea, sucks that most of them are either Harems (honestly, at first I was like "weird flex but okay", but now every fucking story that looks like it could go somewhere just throws the MC a new love interest every 3 chapters or so), or idiots that trust the first human they see to not kill them. Also, is it just me, or do most of them evolve into a human-ish Form way too fast? I mean what is the point of a monster MC if the guy is practically just an overpowered human? Well, after like about 3 years I am kinda running out of good stories, so I'm gonna try to make one myself. It's probably gonna be pretty bad to be honest, but it has no harem so it is already better than 3/4 of novels out there. And I haven't even started yet! But to be serious now: The story is about a pretty lazy guy who reincarnates as a sloth....I haven't really planned more for now... well, good luck to me I guess. Also I am not sure if I want this to have blue screens yet... I mean they look pretty neat but personally I'm kind of sick of them. PS: If you wondered, no I am not the person that took the photo of a sloth with sunglasses...god, that dude must be living the Life...

A guy who played a sci-fi VRMMORPG was thrown in another world. And no, the other world doesn't have game mechanics. Nothing serious. Occasional updates, when I feel like it. Mature content.
