I Couldn't Be A Youtuber, So I Decided To Make A Podcast Instead.

1 Favorite

A podcast mainly about webnovels. Hoping to focus on Chinese Webnovels, however I'll probably meander a little bit with Japanese Light novels, some anime cross over, Korean webtoons, manhwa, and more. Rants and reminiscing about various things are definitely covered as are reviewing and introducing niche genres, unique recommendations and personal insights into Chinese and Asian Culture. ^-^

EP#63 The Black Agent (黑色代行者)

4/2/2023
The Black Agent (黑色代行者) A unique cyberpunk webnovel full of intrigue politics and a heavy amount of mystery. Lin Huan (临幻) is a traverser who arrives into the game world of [The Land of Exile] full of super powers, hidden power struggles, and a hidden past. I go into way too much detail attempting to summarize and jam in as many titles and references as I can as I dissect the story in a very rambling mess.

EP#56 - Military Genre

12/31/2022
Honestly this topic scares me, freedom of speech isn't free and discussing politically sensitive topics and information of non-mainstream topics will lead down a path of radicalization. Espionage, spooks, MKultra, Cointelpro, political prisoners. The average person will never talk or learn about it, so having that knowledge and discussing it puts you under a lot of scrutiny to appear not as crazy as you think. heh heh. ^-^

EP#55 I Become The Old Ones

12/24/2022
Deity style webnovel very much in it's early chapters. I found it's style very unique and different from what I've seen being a "science fiction" genre story. It's Deity and Fantasy elements are quite heavy, but I discuss why it's categorized the way it is and how the author's light novel and fanfiction style makes it an outlier compared to others in this similar, but very rarely written subgenre. Competing with Apocalypse, Science Fiction niche subgenres to the more popular empire building, fantasy, wuxia, VRMMO combos. This one is different, almost a historical fanfiction that I go more detail into.

EP#53 (?) Before the college entrance examination, I received a text message from my future self (20 years later).

12/10/2022
Covering a unique time travel webnovel, It has some unique urban life elements. However, it proceeds to approach the genre in a way I've never seen before. If life was a video game, it would be like the relationship of the narrator and the player in the Stanley parable, if it was an anime it'd be a cross between Steins;gate, erased (inai machi), Mom I'm sorry, A man's man & again!!! .

EP#37 Magical Industrial Empire

9/17/2022
One of the great magic and engineering webnovels. If you like economics, politics, and empire building this is a good webnovel. I reiterate on some of the old titles I've talked about before in empire building, but I go more into the plot and the interesting ideas the author explores. Similar premise, but different execution from release the witch. I also talk about some of the differences between the two as well.

Unique Genre: Space Battles / Opera

9/3/2022
Going off of EP#35, I go more into depth of the various tropes and cliches of the Space Battle genre. I found that anime and manga readers may not be familiar with the genre, so I discuss it and how it differs from similar genres such as the interstellar genre, sci-fi genre, and it's close relationship to adventure and wuxia. Popular / unique Webnovel titles in the genre: Counterfeit Hero, Card Apprentice, Soaring of Galaxia, Age of Cosmic Exploration, The Legendary Mechanic Alt Titles: EP#35.5 Space Battles / Opera

EP#34 Unprepared Topics

8/27/2022
I may have read some webnovels across a variety of genres, but I don't nearly have enough time to encompass every single one of them. I discuss some of the genres I feel unwholly prepared to talk about and I may never be prepared to talk about. Maybe there will be someone who can or maybe there is someone who already has and I just don't know.
