The Steampunk Wanderer

Also known as Rebel in the Great Shun Empire.

Possibly the best portrayal of the French Revolution anywhere online! Here, young generals topple dynasties while rebels defend the nation's gates; Native American "savages" angrily denounce the barbarians of France; the Russian crown prince unleashes a tirade against Great Shun's rebels; a Black monk becomes a great master of Pure Land Buddhism; an Indian princess takes up revolution; Washington wields his Falling Cherry Blossom Axe with transcendent skill; and Napoleon charges at the forefront of the French Revolution.

The French Revolution arc is now complete-and it is absolutely spectacular.

Original synopsis: This is a world where martial arts still flourish, even as gunpowder and steam engines begin to take the stage.

Steel, gunpowder, and internal cultivation techniques compete side by side; warships, steam power, and peerless martial arts shine together. Mathematical prodigies calculate sword techniques with difference engines, while martial arts masters study the heavens through telescopes. From the heart of the World-Island to the fringes of the New World, everyone is racing headlong toward the future.

In this age crying out for change, Chen Wu longs to draw a revolver and tell every martial arts master out there, "Times have changed!"

Then... then he discovers that his thinking is a little off the mark.

As the saying goes, "Transmigrate to the Qing and fail to rebel? Get a power drill up your rear."

But I've transmigrated to Great Shun!

Whatever. Succeed, and I'm a hero of the highest order. Only if I fail am I a crazed rebel!

In short-or, to put it shortly-this is the story of a rebel in a steam-powered Great Shun.

(A new book by a new author, accepted immediately through direct editorial submission. This is historical fiction with wuxia elements-and an exceptionally rigorous alternate history at that. It depicts a fully realized Celestial Empire system in the industrial age, so sit back and enjoy with confidence.)
