I've been resting and recuperating lately, getting nice and plump. Along with putting on some lazy fat, I've also become quite a bit less motivated, so Octopus has decided to rally his spirits and get back to work. The new book is set for April 7. The title will stay under wraps for now, but it's historical fiction. Of course, any history Octopus writes is bound to be different from everyone else's-to be precise, it's historical treasure hunting. It will launch in less than twenty days, so all those rumors about Octopus can scatter on their own.
Also, Octopus's two earlier works have come out in simplified Chinese print editions, one after the other. One is "A Glimmer of Hope," originally titled "Illusory World Hunter" online; the other is "Three Palaces," originally titled "Three Palaces and Six Courts and Seventy-Two Consorts" online. The complete set of the former is already available, and volumes 1 and 2 of "Three Palaces" are out as well. They're available at major Xinhua Bookstores, and online through JD.com, Tmall, Dangdang, Taobao, and other major platforms. Both books have been carefully revised by Octopus for republication and are worth buying for your collections.
