A couple thousand words away from finishing my second novel (Xianxia series called Between Beast and Buddha). Looks like it's gonna clock in at just shy of 200k words. A bit meandering in places, and darker in tone than the first. I'm a little too close to the work to have an objective opinion on it yet, but I'm mostly satisfied, it's a necessary part of the story I set out to tell. Reader reception has been mostly good, but I'm not sure how the ending will land.
I really should get back to editing the first one. It would be nice to finally officially be able to say I have a book out there, instead of explaining web serials every time someone asks me about it at a party.
It is currently 142,448 words, pending a little bit of churn from ongoing edits.
