Set during the early years of the newly founded Ming dynasty, a dishonored Japanese samurai named Kagemori turned pirate sails west with the Kagero pirate clan. Their tactics and ruthlessness earned them a feared reputation across the South China sea. Seeking to abandon their old ways in search of more lucrative and respectable prospects, Kagemori is sent to fulfill the benefactor's request. What begins as a contract soon pulls him into a conflict far larger than piracy.

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 20–49 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views over the recent window.
