    Characters – Relationship Map

    A Thousand Years of Hope

    The most exciting part of creating a story is building relationship maps. So much happens in a family setting, that you can make a relationship map simple or very complicated. This is a relationship map of the characters in the A Thousand Years of Hope story.  It is currently running on my page on GayAuthors/lilansui.  Let’s discover Tani and Dante’s existing relationships before they make one of their own.

    Tani Ryuzo's family relationship map

    Tani is my unique character as he connects two realms. The fictitious Ekho realm and the mortal realm. His strongest ally is Amu, his mother’s brother, and Cale, the god of calamities. Like Amu, Tani has chosen to take on a ward. So Tani is connected to Deniz and Hakan through Hera. Since I’m currently writing on Chapters 6 and 7, this character relationship map reveals a hidden character who has not shown up yet.

    Members of the Septum

    Seven powerful lords govern the fictitious Ekho Realm, keeping the balance and all who live in the realm at fairly peaceful times.

    1. Kinon – god of Fire
    2. Eren – goddess of Earth
    3. Mizian – god of Wind
    4. Rianon – goddess of Water
    5. Helia – goddess of Fertility
    6. Cale – god of Calamity
    7. Sunu – Immortal Lord

    The Sentinel guards entrance and exit of the Ekho Realm at the Palladium Gates.  Her name is Sahdrina of the Namib.

    Dante’s Family tree

    Dante has a very interesting family line which his great, great grandfather will have much more to explain later. Thanks to Kinon, Dante is quite powerful and will make a great match for Tani. Dante’s character is unique to create for me because he has children with Viola. He is not present in their lives. This is the first time I’ve approached such a character before, without having to focus so much on Viola’s perspective. He is a character some people might not love so much, because of this failure, I hope to redeem him in other ways.

    My collection of characters is complete. Do check out A Thousand Years of Love on GayAuthors.org. It takes me time to upload chapters, but I try to make them worth the wait.

    In other news, I’ve been reediting The Reluctant Consort and will upload a new extra soon. It’s always fun to get back to old characters.

    You can now get The Reluctant Consort and A Thousand Years of Hope as eBook.

  • Fave Authors – M/M romance obsessions

    When I run into an author I love, I tend to obsess over all their previous works like a manic obsession.  This year, I’ve found myself reading a lot more and wanted to share some stories that I’ve truly loved.  Note some are published, some not, I love diversity.

    Jordan L. Hawk

    The first book I ever read of hers was Hainted.  Hainted left me shook, and led me to Ms. Hawk’s website, where I then discovered the Whyborne & Griffin series, as well as the exciting SPECTR series.  Been reading all her books since. I love all her work.  She always pulls me into the worlds she creates and there is nothing more powerful than that.

    Balefire_400x600-200x300

    So, I’m excited to read, Balefire, the newest installment in the Whyborne & Griffin series.  Discover this wonderful series here.

    Prince Kenzie

    The first book I read of hers was Protective Desires.  It was recommended to me, and when I was finished, I discovered she had a series going, so I went on the search for more.  In I dived, have yet to resurface as I’m in deep now.  I love her characters.  They make me happy, and leave me smiling for no reason, and there is nothing more important than that.  Of late, Kenz is writing a series titled, ‘In Slavery’. It took me a moment to get into the first of this series, but when I did, I’ve found myself following Lenius and the adventures he faces in a world he could not have anticipated.  She calls it dark fiction.  This series does push the comfort boundaries, but dark or not, I’m insanely invested. Prince Kenzie had to stop writing on Wattpad and can now be found on Patreon. Her account is under the name Asher King.

    My favorite so far is Peace in slavery. Discover more of Asher King’s collection here.

    Adjoaq

    The first book I ever read of hers was Fiery Heat. There are stories you read because they give you this emotional payback, I don’t know how else to describe it.  I like the fact that each of her characters is somehow tied to previous stories, creating a familiar world with new variables each time.

    59117968-176-k595059

    Loving Sweetest Sin the most, as it makes me so happy to read it each time.

    PaisleyViking

    For heartbreak that hurts so good, keeps you reading until you see happy smiles, check in on these two stories.  I read both in one night, woke up with panda eyes, and still wanted more.  Once again, both push some serious boundaries of which if you’re uncomfortable reading, then give it a pass. Otherwise, the best of stories.

    Breaking Finn (This may have been taken down) & Unbreak My Heart

    There are more, but these have stuck in my mind this year.  Check them out if you’re looking for something to read!

  • The Legendary Master’s Wife – Insane Commitment BL stories

    The Legendary Master’s Wife

    by Yin Ya

    Description:

    After an explosion, You XiaoMo finds that he is now a probationary disciple of the TianXin sect. However, he is one with dubious potential, so just when he starts to adapt to his new circumstances, he receives a piece of bad news. If he is unable to produce the required result after half a year to become an official disciple of the TianXin sect, he would be driven out of the sect.

    While You XiaoMo is going all out to make medicines and earn money, he runs into Ling Xiao. To his horror, he later discovers that Ling Xiao is really someone cloaked in human skin.

    Thoughts:

    In a moment of boredom, I started reading this story.  I found it by luck, browsing through recommendations, I just happened to click on the title because it sounded interesting.  That was last year, around May or June 2017.  I tell you that because I read over two hundred chapters in the space of one week and thought I was catching an obsession.  Which I have, I think, I’m still reading it up to now, that should say something.

    The Legendary Master’s Wife is not a quick story.  It is a commitment type of story.  I love it because You Xiao Mo starts out weak and unknowing, and slowly grows into a strong character with each chapter.  I clearly speak like someone who has made a major commitment, but I can’t help it.  Xiao Mo meets Ling Xiao a man with deep secrets and their relationship starts in a strange series of events that leave Ling Xiao constantly nagging Xiao Mo out of his comfort zone, and into a very passionate relationship.  The characters have grown with each saga they meet.  The different worlds they visit, and I think of this story as an everyday kind of story.

    Be Warned, this novel is +700 chapters.  But it is worth it, though once you catch up with translations, you might need to wait daily for your dose of Xiao Mo and Ling Xiao.

    The first chunk of this fascinating story was translated by:

    1. S3ri – Chapters 1 – 185

    The rest is translated by this amazing website run by Exiled Rebels Scanlations

  • War Prisoner – Lovely Stories

    War Prisoner

    Su Yi, the great general of Qi, was captured by enemy country’s army. Faced with the downfall of his country and interest from opposing country’s king, how will he react?

     

    War Prisoner Review

    As the title states, this story is not fluff, but seriously epic.  The main characters end up in very tough, and graphic situations, so if that is not your cup of tea, don’t check out this one.  However, if you are brave enough, this story is seriously beautiful.  Wanyan Xu and Su Yi are a couple I find quite interesting.  Wanyan hellbent on creating a prosperous kingdom, while Su Yi is doing the best he can to fight for his own kingdom which is now under Wanyan’s control.  There is loyalty, there is insane attraction, terrible personal betrayals, and the beginning of a love that takes Su Yi through absolute hell.  Truthfully, reading this story led me on an insane emotional roller coaster.  I was angry, and happy at times, sad and happy other times, still I kept reading.  So, a nod to Li Huan Yan Yu who created a very epic tale in War Prisoner.

  • Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil – Lovely Stories

    Translations are the most awesome stories you could read.  For the past year or more, I have fallen in love with these crazy stories and I will share some of the many stories I’ve read since.  Guilty Pleasures that keep my mind occupied when the plotting of my own stories pauses.

    Here is the first story I’ve loved with all I have.

    Title: Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil

    Author: Fengliu Shudai

    Summary:

    The top hacker was chosen by the Lord God to be reborn as hundreds of thousands of villains,

    Every world ended in a dead end,

    Every end is tragic.

    Finally he escaped the control of the Villain System,

    He decided to enact revenge, change his fate as an abused slag

    Even if his every bone is rotten,

    He’ll occupy the heights of morality, even if it’s just the surface.

    The Break Down-

    1. The main characters are not subject to one personality, they can be a devil, an angel, a charming villain, a loyal dog, a crazy wife
    2. 1v1, the seme is the same person from beginning to end.
    3. 蘇蘇蘇，雷雷雷，金手指粗粗粗。(Bunch of gibberish, looks like the Chinese version of 1337 speak)

     Review:

    The English description is funny and insane but I still love it!

    What sets this story apart for me is the fact that it is a set of chapters, where the main character lives out an entire lifetime in each chapter.  Lifetime, after lifetime, each one unique, different and there is magic in that.  It is taking a reincarnation story and going out, far wide.  The main character goes through hardships, working very hard to create a life he is comfortable with.  He is ruthless while fighting to get what he is due, but he is also generous to those who show him kindness.  The love he finds in his soulmate is absolutely fun to read and I couldn’t stop reading this story because of that romance.
