One complaint I& #39;ve seen in ORDER OF THE PURE MOON reviews is it doesn& #39;t have much fighting for wuxia. This is because the truth is ORDER doesn& #39;t belong to the wuxia genre. What it actually is is the fanfic of a(n imaginary) 50-episode wuxia TV series https://zencho.org/books/the-order-of-the-pure-moon-reflected-in-water/">https://zencho.org/books/the...

Canon:
- almost no female characters. This is a man& #39;s world
- beautiful lead with chaotic bisexual energy
- uglyhot supporting character becomes surprise fan favourite
- all the kungfu
- everyone is straight
- huge fanbase ships beautiful lead/uglyhot fan fave

ORDER OF THE PURE MOON REFLECTED IN WATER:
- one of the few fanfics that is not Lau Fung Cheung/Tet Sang
- invents a Mary Sue
- everyone is queer
- trans headcanon for major character
- focus on feels over fighting
- complicates canon worldbuilding
- 5 hits, 0 kudos

As someone who often focuses on female characters in dude-heavy canons I can tell you that hits:kudos ratio is 100% authentic. (Ok maybe it& #39;s a slight exaggeration but it& #39;s not far off!!)

Anyway if that sounds fun you can pre-order the novella now https://zencho.org/books/the-order-of-the-pure-moon-reflected-in-water/">https://zencho.org/books/the... It& #39;s out next month! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥳" title="Partying face" aria-label="Emoji: Partying face">
