People change but the scenery stays the same. The flow of time is ruthless to anyone and everyone. Old dynasties crumble and new ones rise to replace them. Emperors turn to dust in their tombs of gold. No mortal can escape the firm grasp of time. Unlike mortals, fated cultivators are able to jump out of the chessboard. The river of time can easily pull a small pebble along its relentless flow, but it must part its flow when met with a boulder. Follow the story of someone who has leaped out of the chessboard, but has lost everything in the process. Current Release Rate: N/A, doing more world-building. Contact Me: [email protected]

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 10–19 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views lifetime.
