Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Hello, dear readers~!

You all know who I am, so let’s skip the introductions and allow me to give you a general overview. You can pick the points you are interested in and skip those that you are not interested in. I would like you to read all of it, but I also understand that most would not be interested in what I have to say...

1. Apology

2. Reviews

3. About my Story and certain Events

4. Patreon, finally!

5. More Stories

6. Final Thoughts

[Apology]

I’m so sorry it took so much time for me to set everything up, the missed chapters and everything. Life was not the kindest to me since the month after starting this story.

Moreover, the last few days were especially hard on me. From poor doctors, to fried boiler, to the fried outlet which doesn’t allow us to adjust the thermostat. It’s been just too much on me and I didn’t cope with it too well, so I’m sorry it took this long to set everything up. (And it’s still not finished yet, but I will get to that later x])

[Reviews]

I wanted to post my rant about certain reviews and their strange inclinations, but I’m just too tired and disgusted by their implications, so I just deleted it all and I have only a few things left to say.

1. I DO NOT CONDONE REVIEWS ABOUT MY CHARACTER OR BEHAVIOUR

The reviews are supposed to be about the story and nothing else. I do not care if you see me in a positive or negative light. I’m being myself and I love interacting with you, my lovely readers. That fact will never change and I will try to reply to every single comment that you kindly give me. I will also try to answer any kind of questions that you, kind readers, might have.

Those who have been here for quite some time already know I love interactions, questions, and ideas and I will always cherish all of them!

2. I DO NOT CONDONE YOUR TWISTED FANTASIES

This also comes back to the previous point, but there is also a second reason. I will try to explain my reasoning behind both points.

The first comes back to the reviews. If you review the author, with something like ’The Author seems like a good person’, but then inside the review you write something like ’But I find it strange that he writes about grooming/rape/[insert negative trait]’, it naturally draws questions about my character and that is just as sickening to me as those horrible behaviours.

You can hate me or hate my story, but if you write something like that I just can’t accept it. I’m not a stupid person and I understand your implications, just because you write ’But I want for the Author to understand this’ or ’But I want the Author to improve’ doesn’t excuse this kind of behaviour!

The second reason behind this is that your ’rage’ is misplaced.

If you are raging about rape and grooming, then why are you reading Xianxia in the first place?!

Just pause for a moment and think about it. Xianxia is about a world of Cultivation, but how does one start Cultivating?

An old geezer goes around villages goes around Villages to ’recruit’ impressionable children around the age of ~8 (In some it’s sooner, while other stories have it later).

Those old geezers take those children away from their families before properly understanding the world or being taught by families and the same old geezers impart their reasoning, thoughts and behaviour onto them.

THIS IS A TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE OF GROOMING. GROOMING ISN’T JUST ABOUT SEX FAVOUR AND ALL THAT, BUT IT’S ABOUT TWISTING THE PERSONALITIES OF YOUNG CHILDREN SO THAT IT FITS YOUR PURPOSES!

As such any kind of Xianxia with Sects is by definition, one side of grooming.

The same for rape. We are talking about times when everything belonged to the law of the jungle and purity would be treasured more than your own life.

Then tell me, how would you humiliate someone without actually killing them? You guessed it, since purity is the most treasured for Cultivators, it naturally creates this situation that will stain you and make you less than your peers.

Now, could this be written differently? Could my story be written differently?

Yes, but then those morals and what I’m trying to show you would disappear.

I tried showing you many times that grooming was bad. The other Cultivators would recoil in disgust or react in some kind of similar way.

’B-but why are those Cultivators not dead?! You are a hypocrite! @#$@#’

Because might makes right, you need power in order to get rid of them and if they are part of a large organisation (The Old Elders of the Fox Village), you can’t get rid of them easily. I mean, unless you want to break the values of the world, in which case feel free to ruin your story, but count me out.

We will do proper cleaning, it will just take time...

I showed you the twisted ideas of the Fox Village from the sidelines, in order to for what is to come once Aiko steps into that hellhole that needs to be cleaned.

I tried showing the history and why/how it got so bad in the first place.

If you chose to ignore all that, or chose to skim read it then you have only yourself to blame.

Going back to the twisted fantasies thing. I will not, ever, write about adolescent porn. I will not write about it even if you give me a bad review. I do not care about your twisted fantasies and that you do not want to feel creepy towards paedophiles or rapists. If you have such kinks, keep it to yourself and don’t share it with others!

Phew, that was a lot off of my chest, now let’s get to the things that my kind readers actually want!

[About my Story and certain Events]

1. Where the seeeeeeex aaaaat?!?!?!

It will still take time. The mind is a fragile thing and I want Mei to slowly slide into that kind of relationship. Please do keep in mind that Yuxi and Wanshu are different, as Wanshu is a Demonic Fox and they don’t wait around for that.

Moreover, Yuxi is partially a Demonic Fox too, so it’s only natural that their relationship is quick to progress.

But Aiko cares a lot about Mei, so it will take time for them to get to that point. It very likely won’t happen in first part of the first volume, but it will definitely happen in the second part of the first volume. So please stay tuned!

2. When those memories come??

We don’t have a Human form yet, that will come in the mainland or in other words, the second part of the first volume!

3. Grammar still shit... ;-;

I... can’t do anything more about it. I have hit the limit about what I can do with my limited experience coupled with Dyslexia and Dysgraphia... x]

I’m sorry, but so far, this is the best that I can do... ;-;

4. Please ask down in the comments and I will answer it inside the pinned comment!

[Patreon, finally!]

Patreon is up! You can find it by searching: ... is what I would like to say, but there is another Creator under the same name and with the same idea, so I can only provide the link... (And hope that the pirate websites don’t erase it like everything else...)

It’s supposed to be: Ezy - Dreams Abyss (If you search through Patreon search thingy)

So here is the link if you can’t find it normally: /ezy7506

We still got the

The Tiers are like this and I will answer questions about them a bit later:

3$ - Dream Spectator - 3 Chapters in advance

5$ - Dream Follower - 6 Chapters in advance, Special Voting Poll with increased power (Patreon Votes>Public Votes)

6.9$ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) - Dream Overseer - 9 Chapters in advance, Special Voting Poll with increased power (Patreon Votes>Public Votes)

15$ - Dream Monarch - Raw Chapters or anything that I have stockpiled, Special Voting Poll with increased power (Patreon Votes>Public Votes), Special Voting for Special Chapters and they can also give their ideas for Special Chapters (Want beach episode? Christmas, smut? This tier will vote on them, but it won’t affect Special Chapters when we reach public milestones!)

There is one more, but it’s not really public and doesn’t give any extra benefits, so I won’t mention it. (The description says what it’s for, so I won’t touch on it.)

Public Milestones (Value of all current subscriptions):

1. When we reach 500$ a month - There will be a new public story! Patreons will naturally get it in advance, since I feel like I have to reward you, kind readers, for supporting me so much! (This won’t change the release of Aiko in any way. This is a pleasant story that is written to keep the burnout and negative emotions away! As such, there will be only 1-3 Chapters a week!)

2. When we reach 1,000$ a month - Aiko’s story, which is what you are currently reading, will get an additional 500 words per Chapter! (From 1,800-2,000 -> 2,300-2,500 words per Chapter!)

3. When we reach 1,500$ a month - There will be a Poll about this. It will either give you another story or the previous one will be given at least 3 Chapters a week or more! (I’m talking about the 500$ milestone story.)

4. When we reach 2,000$ a month - Aiko’s story, which is what you are currently reading, will get an additional 500 words per Chapter! (From 2,300-2,500 -> 2,800-3,000 words per Chapter!)

There are currently only 3 advance chapters, since last... a long time, I was a mess and was unable to stockpile more... ;-;

But I should be able to fill them up till Sunday, so for those that are scared to be burned. I will notify you when we are completely stockpiled in a public post~!

Another thing to keep in mind is that if you purchase the Tier on Patreon it will last until the same day of the next month. (If you purchase it at 22.2, Patreon will charge you again on 22.3.(Or at least that’s how I understood it >...>

x. If you have any questions about Patreon, you can either DM me or write them in the comments and I will try to explain everything.

There is probably something I forgot to mention, so I will either edit this page or the first comment, or I will mention it in the Author’s notes, my apologies. >..>

Review: So far none since I’m remaking the first chapters. (Shocker I know... It feels like I’m really shit at the beginning of novels x]) But it’s definitely something I would like to share, since it has a lot of unique elements when it comes to the system and relationships. >.>

I will be able to prepare more stories, both big and small and we can all vote on it on Discord, SH, and Patreon and see how it will work.

The best story for sharing would be [Surviving in Crumbled Worlds] since it’s the most coherent when it comes to my dreams and the most pleasing since Demonic Waifu. >.>

You can of course contact me on Scribble Hub or Royal Road in the comment section, so if you have questions about those stories, feel free to ask them~!

[Final Thoughts]

So far it’s been an incredible journey with you guys. The positive energy vastly outweighs the negative energy and I intend to keep going until we reach the last chapter of Aiko’s story and maybe even further, but I will be past my 50s when that happens... XD

Thank you so, so much for your generous comments, kind words, and continuous support. We would not have made it this far without your kind and generous attitude. I can’t thank you enough.

Many thanks to:

Paytoe, who is always willing to explain things and who I collaborated with.

Crim, who is managing the discord and while it’s a clumsy road, I believe that we have built something nice that we can look at.

SeriousBlueJewel, Brick_Turtle, SageFox, (Hidden)Kind Editor(Hidden), Eslam Falk, siuminiko1234, and Aschente for all the edits, hints, and explanations that they provide. (There are even more editors, so I apologise if I didn’t mention you... x])

ShadowVoid and others, for all the kind ideas and suggestions.

All my kind readers who keep the comment section clean and kind.

Ruti for... well, being Ruti :D

I definitely forgot someone, since my head is full of things and it’s been difficult to keep track of everything. For that, I apologise to those I forgot and I hope you will enjoy your stay with Aiko’s shenanigans~! ^_^

Once more;
