Unintended Cultivator Vol 11: Chapter 56 – Home Cooking

Sen allowed himself to bask the flood of words that came at him from both Ai and Zhi as their voices filled the galehouse. It almost felt like the girls were competing to see who could tell him the...

Unintended Cultivator Vol 11: Chapter 55 – Lu Sen’s World

When the last of the idiots who had attacked the city were finally marched by, Sen heaved a sigh of relief. The mind-numbingly boring, irritating task was complete. There was nothing left to keep h...

Unintended Cultivator Vol 11: Chapter 54 – There’s Always Room To Do Better

Sen’s first impulse was to leave the bandit herding to other people. Auntie Caihong put a stop to that idea, although she did look regretful about it. She knew very well what he wanted to be doin...

Isekai Terry AHS: Chapter 28 – Is One of Us Drunk?

Some part of Terry expected Kelima to come out of her tent in the immediate aftermath of his emotional breakdown. That would have been the most awkward possible thing that could happen at that mome...

Unintended Cultivator Vol 11: Chapter 53 – Lao Da

Lao Da repressed an urge to slam his fist down on the makeshift table. When they’d set out from the north to escape the damnable spirit beasts, abandoning their small but comfortable sect compoun...

Update: Why Don't I Sell Directly?

This comes up every so often, so I figured it was worth taking a minute to address it directly.

So, just why is it that I don't sell copies of my books/ebooks directly from this page (or from...

Update: About Subscribing Through Apple

Okay, so, Patreon has succumbed to the will of Apple and instituted a bunch of changes regarding subscribing to a page through the Apple version of the Patreon app. Frankly, the changes are all bad...

Unintended Cultivator Vol 11: Chapter 52 – We Thought They Were Lying

The rest of the trip back to sect passed in relative peace. Sen noticed a few stray spirit beasts, but most were deep in the wilds, alone, and didn’t seem particularly powerful to his spiritual s...

Random Isekai Thing: Chapter 1 – New Rodeo, Or Not

So, this is one of those ideas that just lodged itself in my brain and refused to go away. So, you guessed it. Random Chapter Time! Enjoy! ~Eric

Updates and Intros

Hiya! This is Kat, signing in for trouble... or work. :) Like all good assistants, I'm basically running Eric now. Of course, like all writers, he has no sense of time or respect for authority...so...

Unintended Cultivator Vol 11: Chapter 51 – It Was My Last Chance

Sen stood near the frozen-over pond where he’d once had a very tense conversation with a princess about why he wouldn’t help her. Sen tried to recall her name. He felt like he should remember t...

After gently kicking Kelima’s foot once or twice or seventeen times, Terry was forced to concede that the girl just wasn’t done sleeping off the aftereffects of the healing potion. It wasn’t ...

Unintended Cultivator Vol 11: Chapter 50 – Sentimental Choice

By the time Lai Dongmei landed next to him a minute or two later, Sen was holding his nearly-severed leg in place as the bone, muscle, and connective tissues slowly grew back together. He hazarded ...

Unintended Cultivator Vol 11: Chapter 49 – Enough Challenges

Sen had largely committed to not using fire in the fight. Of course, that decision had been based on the high probability that the odd spirit beast would likely be able to dodge or disrupt said fir...

The Great Eyeball Saga, Part 3

I had my eye exam this morning. Great news! They let me keep my eyes! I was very relieved.

I discovered that my prescription was out of date in more ways than one. Sadly, it appears that I h...

Unintended Cultivator Vol 11: Chapter 48 – Backlash

Closing like that with an enemy he couldn’t see yet through the very lightning he’d conjured almost cost Sen his life. It had seemed like a sound enough strategy. He’d seized the initiative, ...

The Great Eyeball Saga, Part 2

Good news. I found a place that can get me in for an eye exam first thing tomorrow morning. Hurray! Less great news for me is that my vision insurance, which is not part of my very expensive health...

Sometimes, I forget things.

So, like most people, I occasionally forget things. As I tried and failed to write through another migraine tonight, I realized this all felt familiar. I was chalking up these more frequent migrain...

Unintended Cultivator Vol 11: Chapter 47 – It’s Not Your Responsibility

When Sen had decided to leave an area of the wilds untouched for the spirit oxen, he hadn’t done it negligently. He had very intentionally made sure that there were no other spirit beasts remaini...

Isekai Terry AHS: Chapter 26 – Shakespeare

Terry nudged Kelima with his toe for at least the tenth time, but the girl remained steadfastly, obstinately unconscious. He’d expected as much. Those healing potions were no joke. Still, it didn...

Unintended Cultivator Vol 11: Chapter 46 – Uninvited Guests

Sen only allowed a little of the wind to pass through the curved shield of air he’d put up. He liked to feel the wind on his face. Left to his own devices, he would have let it strike him without...

Update: Volume 5 paperbacks/hardcovers

Well, it seems that the 'Zon's algorithm has decided all on its own that the physical editions of Unintended Cultivator Volume Five will go live early. So, if anyone was eagerly waiting to grab phy...

Unintended Cultivator Vol 11: Chapter 45 – You Should Listen to Your Advisors

He heard the door open, but Sen remained standing at the window. He’d watched the sky darken over several hours. The clouds from earlier in the day had persisted. So, there wasn’t a star to be ...

Upper Tier: Volume 5 ARC download

With Volume 5 about to go live over on a week early, I need to get this out to the upper tier subscribers. I also need to put in some filler here so that the download link won't show up in the prev...

Update: Volume 5, AMA, and Conventions

Okay, first things first. The publication date of Volume 5 has been moved up from March 11th to March 4th. Hurray! That goes for the ebook and the audiobook versions, and probably the print versio...

Unintended Cultivator Vol 11: Chapter 44 – Return Them to Their Families

Sen took to the air on a qi platform to return to the palace. He could have truly flown and been there in a fraction of the time, but he wasn’t anywhere close to that eager for what came next. Hi...

Unintended Cultivator Vol 11: Chapter 43 – A Long Walk

The morning was overcast and the wind particularly bitter on the day that Kang was driven from the city. Sen didn’t allow him to slip away quietly, either. The former general had been dressed in ...
