im so happy you’re liking it, thank you! honestly i have a pretty good basis in chinese fantasy both from actual folktales and a small interest in xianxia. that’s why there’s a lot more chinese elements than korean elements because i’m just not as well-versed in their traditional stories. i try to research (especially because im really particular about reading folktales in their original language) but it definitely takes some time. a lot of my research is just double-checking boring stuff like weather for seasons, native plants and animals, and making sure i don’t use terms that wouldn’t exist in that historical period 😭 also clothes! although i’m using chinese folktales and deities to influence some of the world building, i want to make sure that the clothing, architecture, and food is more accurate to korean culture. that’s mostly what my research looks like! even though it’s fantasy, i don’t want to take too many liberties with the more historical aspects >< i don’t have many fun facts unfortunately, but i will keep my eye out in my next research cycle for something interesting! if i get the time i might also translate the story, but that would only be once it’s finished~
