Hello, and welcome to my website. I hope you enjoy your time here.
Where exactly are you? Why, the home of Shixuan’s stories, of course!
I’m Shixuan, by the way.
A little bit about me
As far as grand ambitions go, I have but one: to become the greatest light novel author in all of Not-Japan.
Pretty big, I know. And I bet you’re wondering how I decided on that goal.
Oh. You’re not? Uh…
Well, funnily enough, I had absolutely no interest in reading for most of my life, let alone writing. My favourite form of entertainment had been anime ever since I saw Naruto on TV many moons ago. Manga, while pushing the limits, was still bearable. But reading? That was out of the question.
All of that changed when I fell into the trap.
You know how it goes. You get to the end of the season you were watching, but have an intense desire to know what happens next. You go on the internet and check whether the show has a manga, and there it is, shining in all of its black and white glory. But alas, you soon devour all that is available and again find yourself at the edge of the abyss. “There must be more”, you say to yourself, and so you continue your search. “What’s this? A light novel? But… reading…” You think of letting it go, however, curiosity scarcely loosens its grip. You drag yourself through the sea of words, finding it painful at first, but then you begin to enjoy it.
At that point, there’s no saving you.
That was how I came to be a reader, and much like your run-of-the-mill isekai protagonist, once I found myself in this new world, the first thing I did was to gather a harem.
I read story after story, leaving nary a moment to rest, and it was glorious.
However, that feeling proved to be transient.
After a while, I realised that I don’t like reading that much after all.
At first, everything had been new and exciting, but nothing ever quite lived up to that first story, Overlord, and, to put it simply, I got tired of searching.
But I still wanted to experience those kinds of stories. What to do?
Well, they say that if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself, so… I guess I’m a writer now.
The plan
I’ve got this giant monstrosity of a story in mind that will span multiple worlds and will probably take time in the order of decades to complete.
And it all begins with Beseech the Heavens.
