Novels

The worldbuildings and settings of fantasy and wuxia novels — organized.

The novel is the medium that allows the freest possible design of worldbuilding and power systems. As a result, magic, martial arts, and sorcery rules are often described in fine detail, or work-original original systems appear that you wouldn't find elsewhere.

MoonWiki summarizes novel works by world fundamentals, power-system structure, and key setting elements. Through this, the structure of long-form novels and series can be grasped at a glance.

Highlights

  • Optimized for long-form worldbuildings
  • Detailed power systems and rules
  • Author-specific setting experiments
  • A reference for comparison with other media
