Reality has always been my inspiration and so has experience. Entwined Destiny is a combination of both as well as fiction. I've always found my escape in books and that's what I want to give the readers- comfort.
?
as I mentioned above, reality is a part of my story. Every day life can get messy. So merging reality and also providing an escapism did prove difficult for me initially. This story is my first in the romance genre and I dived in scared not knowing how it would be perceived.
3.
Trust me when I say this, I'm surprised. My readers actually loved the story written so far. I honestly did not expect that. It's a strange feeling: happy, but nervous with a mixture of pride.
4.
The angst. The slow burn. The tease. There is so much I haven't uploaded yet, but that's the most I have enjoyed writing and I cannot wait for my readers to read those chapters.
5. ?
at the moment it is a stand-alone, but you never know- if the response is too good in the end and if the readers demand, it might turn into a duet or series.
6. ?
I would like my readers to understand and accept that life is hard, no matter what. Be it fiction or reality, everyone has to face struggles and it's different for each person, but that doesn't mean your hurdles are less difficult than others. As for love and romance, the first step is to be able to love yourself before you love someone else otherwise you will not be at peace and to find someone who is that way with you.
7.
My advice would be to read a lot of books in the genre they want to write in. They need to read stories that are very well-edited and worded. Write every day- it can be one paragraph, it can be one page or ten pages, but to write and be in touch with their story.

You know, a lot of people ask me that as well as other authors and I would say, YES. Even if we don't know, we subconsciously leave a part of us in our characters. My characters and I definitely share similarities.
9.
Constant updates, a well written story and an edited one along with proper marketing will draw in new readers.
10.
Oh, yes, I do! I have so many planned and I cannot wait to share it with you guys. I am excited and nervous at the same time and I am exploring as well so I hope the readers like what I'll be posting soon. x

The Storyteller: Fires in the Sky
[First story complete. Put on hiatus until the next story in this series starts going up.] Come children, gather round the fire and listen to stories of when the earth was young. Of when mankind stood high above all of creation, and proudly ruled the land, sea, and sky. Of times before the storms and the hunters. Who knows, maybe you'll learn something from the past that will help guide your future. Now grab a warm drink and listen on a cold night to how the heavens themselves came to be. The first in a series of short stories about ancient mythology set in a post-apocalyptic world that's just trying to make sense of natural phenomenon and how mankind fell from grace. Our first tale is about two siblings, the Sun and the Moon, and how rivalry, jealousy, neglect, and fear led them straight to the jaws of death.

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.

Cannon Fodder Cheat System
At first, when he learned that he was forced to go to many different routine worlds and be reborn into all kinds of cannon fodder, he was against it.Because villains usually all only have a moment of satisfaction, the endings of cannon fodder are also frequently quite miserable.But the man who gave him the system told him that this system not only has all types of powerful functions, but he can also break the routine lives of the cannon fodder. If he achieves this satisfactorily for each world, he can even become a god.He's already experienced over a thousand reincarnations, but hasn't yet been a god. Since it sounds pretty great, why not just try it out.From that moment on, he began the irreversible path of tyrannically oppressing people, while conveniently tearing open those white moonlights and so-called righteous people's hypocritical masks.His goal: wearing the villain's role to walk other people's righteous paths, leaving them no path to follow.--------------------------------------------------[Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN THIS NOVEL, this is for offline reading purposes only.

Reincarnated As the Strongest Ancestor With a System
Reincarnating into another world without having to start from the bottom was certainly a good thing. However, what if the first place you appear is inside a coffin? This is what Qin Yuan experienced. While he had boundless strength, he was already at the end of his age so he had to seal his body. The only thing he could do was to leave with a Spiritual Body whose strength was extremely limited. The good thing is that there is a system that suddenly appears. Ding [Collect Karma Points.] [You can buy anything with Karma Points.] [Use 100 Karma Points to purchase a one week life extension.]
