What is the epitome/future of fiction in my opinion? Well, it is actually kind of a hybrid with VR. So, the idea is that one finds themselves under a particular set of circumstances. They must thereby navigate these circumstances, ‘writing their own story’. Now, at first glance, this kind of sounds like an interactive, perhaps… Continue reading Fiction unto VR

Realism in imagination
There is a specific kind of fiction that I like. It’s the kind where it’s based on some wacky premise, yet the writer manages to make everything flow together realistically as it makes perfect sense. Naturally, this sort of fiction is accompanied by humour. However, the humour here is neither the kind that comes with… Continue reading Realism in imagination
Five/ゴ
So, this is like a mini-story I wrote. It’s in my style, whatever that style is, plus a bit of experimentation. I wrote it on Notepad because Microsoft Word isn’t available on this laptop, but whatever. Technically, this story is based on my theory of the Five Elements as I relate each element to one… Continue reading Five/ゴ
Existential tales that express life
I’ve wanted to post about this particular story since reading it, but for some reason, I complete forgot and only remembered today. It comes from the Tale of the Heike as one of the earlier chapters, and left quite a bit of an impression on me. This is the link. The story’s short, just a… Continue reading Existential tales that express life

Today, I am going to analyse what I think makes a good story based on the fiction that I have consumed so far. This should enhance my ability to think about fiction as a whole. Previously, I would simply refer to individual works and what I like about them. However, it definitely is the case… Continue reading Elements of a story – breaking down fiction
Time travel shenanigans – a review
I’ve been consuming quite a few time travel stories recently – it’s not that I’ve been seeking them out on purpose; it’s just turned out that way. So once I had that insight earlier, I thought that hey, so I know what I’m gonna write about now. Time travel! Speaking of time travel, one of… Continue reading Time travel shenanigans – a review
Enlightened perspectives on life
In previous posts, I mentioned the 36-episode Chinese drama that I watched in a week. Actually, this drama already left quite a strong impression on me from the second episode onwards based on societal insights mentioned within. Now, you might think that these societal insights should not be very applicable to the modern day, seeing… Continue reading Enlightened perspectives on life
Misunderstanding and tragedy of long past
There is a webnovel series that I have been following for many years now. Have you heard of Douluo Dalu or Soul Land? Not only is it a webnovel, it has also been made into a manga, game and drama. People born in that world are able to manifest beast souls, weapon souls or whatever,… Continue reading Misunderstanding and tragedy of long past
My personal fixation with fiction – truth
Fiction has always been a big part of my life. I started reading at a young age and never stopped. In primary school, I was the school library’s reader of the month a good couple of times. At the public library, I would also usually borrow the maximum number of books available (something like 8… Continue reading My personal fixation with fiction – truth
