Sorry it's been so long! As most of you guessed, I've spent the last couple of weeks locked in a cabin writing.
Also, apparently my assistant asked you on Facebook which questions you'd like to see me answer on here, so I'll do that! (I have some content updates. They're coming. Next week, I swear I'll give you some information about the books. But I just got back, and I'm still getting organized, so in the meantime...) A: Who is your favorite Disney character and why? Disney owns too many characters now. I can't be certain my own characters aren't owned by Disney somehow. But my real answer: Carl Fredricksen from Up. I aspire to be him when I am older, but with an even more tragic backstory. B: If you could only have one app on your phone, what would it be? I don't know, Safari? I'm not very good at these social media-type questions. If www.WuxiaWorld.com had an iOS app, it would be my most-used app and the one I would keep above all others. I spend most of my time on Safari reading web novels. C: What five things could you not live without? 1.) The four elemental crystals that keep nature in balance, without which all of humanity would be scoured from the face of the planet by constant natural disasters. 2.) The ring I inherited from my great-grandfather that tells me what every child wants for Christmas. 3.) My artificial heart. 4.) The collar that keeps me from transforming into a werewolf every night. 5.) Terraria on PC. D: What is your favorite knock knock joke? Knock knock. Who's there? To. To who? To whom. E: When will Underlord be released? This was by far the most common fan-submitted question. ... The time approaches when ravens cry with the voices of men. I see a day when lakes and rivers reverse their flow, when dogs and cats merge into the perfect pets, and when the moon cackles and stares at the people below while blood leaks from the corner of its mouth. Ia! Ia! These are the signs that the time of Underlord is nigh! -Will

If Lindon were gain a physical goldsign (i.e. a flaming shell) when he switched from pure to BF core would the goldsign shift with the core as his eyes do or remain the same?

As a person from the State of Hockey, if you're a fan of said team, it's ok, but be forewarned to expect side-eye. If on the other hand, if you are wearing it to look like you fit in ex. Hey look I'm a hockey fan too, don't. You will just end up looking like a poser. Better to pick something warm and comfortable. That's just my 2 cents. But it comes from witnessing it at the hundred or so games I've attended in the last 30 years. Hope this helps good luck.

Black belt: in order to make it a Vessel, you'd have to give it some inherent power source, such as from an Elder or a Kameira. That being the case, it would depend on what material you wove into the belt.

It's too easy to explain how the dungeons are replenished. At the end of each dungeon is an exit only portal the end of which is connected to a gods toilet. The entire dungeon system is just an elaborate sewage disposal system of the gods. You definitely want to steer clear of the dungeons on chili night.

My thoughts on the badges is gold has 3 distinct levels but only one badge. So reason dictates that there would be one lord badge, for Underlord, Overlord, ArchLord. That being said Sage's are advanced Archlords. next would be monarch, and I think that final blue one represents the level associated with the way. I've been thinking on it for a while, but as reason on earth may be a totally different concept in the will verse we shall see

It’s like you spoke to my soul David. I have gone through hundreds of books in the last few years, and have started to follow so many series that I can amazon once a week for a bunch of series to see if they have been released. I’m usually not disappointed. But I’m also constantly adding more series to my lists because it’s still not enough. But there are a few gem of authors whose series I love the most. I can’t thank Will enough for getting me into Wuxia novels. There are a lot and if you can get passed the less than stellar translation of some of them there is a lot of great works out there. I even remember how I found Will as an author. I found his audiobooks on audible and saw he narrated them himself and I thought “cool let’s here it from his own voice” best decision ever

I just want to take this moment for a bit of speculation. Has anyone else wondered if Eithan is actually Ozriel, hiding in plain sight and depressing his true abilitiea? Nobody seems to know where he actually came from (eg, he says he grew up in servants grave, yet Cassidy doesn't remember him; what if the timeline is just a few thousand years off?), and there have been numerous hints that he is more powerful than he pretends to be
Reply
Chris
10/16/2018 09:29:55 am
We have PoV from Eithan though so while hes definitely one of the strongest Underlords and could probably push himself into an Overlord within a year or two, I don't see how he could be Ozriel unless he literally created a new consciousness or something.
Reply
Jake
10/19/2018 08:32:08 pm
I Don't believe he is Ozriel but I do believe he is stronger then he lets on. The way will has articulately written his story hints toward Eithan being stronger or more knowledgeable then is obvious. May it be that he is story unknown items or that he is an overlord in disguise I don't particularly know. But what we do know is that even for level now he has massive reserves in his well. That is one thing will constantly makes truth.

Just so you know Will although I am not sure if Wuxiaworld, has an App. Webnovel from Qidian does you can find it by looking up "Webnovel- Fictions & Comics" in your app store. I Think it basically has any story Wuxiaworld is not currently translating on it. Along with some older ones that both sites have such as I Shall Seal the Heavens

Reading on wuxiaworld supports the authors and translators though. Quidan just steals and (illegaly) aggregates novels onto their platform to get readers. Even western authors get robbed by them. I wrote part of a web novel and as soon as I got 100,000 words in and was starting to get a little popular Quidan stole it on me.
