I love my worldbuilding, so have some stuff about how summoning and binding demons works, along with meeting some fun side characters.

"Yup." Nine Streams tossed a pillowcase to Flowing Silk to put on the higher shelves, "That means even without the Ghost Fist - which Li did eventually teach me - I can see all the ghosts and spirits that hang around here."

Okay, that was cool. "Is it strange? Being able to see them all?"

Nine Streams shrugged, "Not really. The ghosts don't tend to be about during the day which generally means you get one crowd or the other."

"So when do you sleep?" Star asked curiously.

"Short sleep at night, nap during the day," she explained, putting the last towel on the stack. "Between the human staff and the servitors I'm not that overworked."

Star raised an eyebrow, "You use Fire of the Demon? Even after you were attacked?"

Nine Streams hitched the now empty basket onto one hip and waved for them to follow, "Here's the thing, there are big demons and there are little demons and the Underworld is Nasty. Half the reason demons want to escape is to not be there, and that goes double for if you're a little mite who's likely to get eaten or bossed around." She shrugged, "It's just a job for them, contract and all, can't hold one demon's actions against all of them."

"Huh. I guess… I hadn't considered that demons had individuality or desires beyond 'destroy everything'," Star mused. "I guess everyone has their reasons for what they do, even demons."

"Oh I'm not saying to trust anything they say, they are made of bits that can't be polished on the Great Wheel after all," she said idly. "But they'll do the job and they know to behave or I'll kick them back to where they came from."

Wuxia and xianxia get lumped together, but the tell is what the hero is chasing. Wuxia is about reputation and a code, xianxia is about outliving everyone. Which one wears you out faster over 1000 chapters? #wuxia #xianxia #webnovel

Murim vs wuxia explained: murim is a Korean tradition built from wulin, while wuxia is Chinese martial-hero fiction with different defaults.

Today we have Chapter 18: Leader. In which the group fight some demons, because that's just part of life in a Wuxia.

Wuxia readers get told to start with the famous classics, but I think that's backwards. A modern web novel with a tight 300 chapter arc teaches you the sect and jianghu vocabulary faster than a 1,000 page epic. What was your actual entry point? #wuxia #webnovel

@novelbrief.bsky.social Oct 1, 2026, 1:00 AM

Is murim Chinese or Korean? The word comes from Chinese wulin, while modern murim fiction is a Korean genre with its own settings and conventions.

Best xianxia lists default to male leads almost every time. Female-led cultivation novels exist and some handle sect politics and pacing better, they just don't get the same repost momentum. Who's your pick? #xianxia #wuxia

Wuxia vs xianxia: people treat them as one genre but wuxia is about honor and martial clans, xianxia is about outliving everyone. The tone is completely different by chapter 50. Which do you reread more? #wuxia #xianxia
