BOC Volume 4 Cover

Comments

That is a very dark picture juxtaposed with a very happy one the whiplash is crazy

ItWasIDIO!!

Tinglan’s Smug Face on the right. *chef’s kiss*

V01D

Yeah, the spine goes down the middle. Front cover on right, back cover on left.

Randall Brynsvold

If you look on Amazon, you'll see to cover is the right and portrait.

Kreylix

it looks great! but wouldnt a cover want to be portrait aspect? or is this an over the spine?

John

I luv it

Daniel Tabask

Absolutely wonderful work! Its perfect! I agree with all the previous comments’ praise, but I don’t think vajra is important enough for the cover yet. She could get pics in her entertaining side chapters, especially the heart-warming defend the young master scene. But this family portrait is before the birth and perfect!

Matt

Badass!

Truedragon5374

His breed is specifically adapted for the cold, as per the “animals of Fa Ram” post

KnightRider007

In her entry in the “beasts of Fa Ram” codex, it’s specifically noted that she is small even for her species. So much so that it’s a core characteristic of her self-image and thus affects her cultivation

KnightRider007

@Reinhold you can pre order them on amazon.

Konrad2

@Mr Fox But it doesn't seem to be that usual that the follow up books cost twice as much as the first book. 🤔😅

Konrad2

They don't realize vajra is a spirit beast until baby name day so probably isn't in there until she's super tiny.

mag28

How do people notice these things?! Haha. Thanks!

Npad11111

Also maybe this is because I know what happens, but is the golden crack Yun right side hint at a fox ear.

mag28

Cool thing I noticed? There are cracks that spread from the left to the right along the floor. They mix into the branches at the far right. Cool detail

Sean Ulrich

I assume so, yes.

Npad11111

She’s tiny. Is that Bowu beneath Gou Ren, next to Washi, and holding Noodle?

Skyguard

No Vajra? Also, we’re clearly missing the main character! Where’s THE LORD MAGISTRATE? (Yes, that always had to be in capitals, that’s just the rules.)

CringeWorthyStudios

Ah I see her! Thanks!

Npad11111

On meiling left shoulder

mag28

I'm blind. Why can't I find Rizu?

Npad11111

Where can I order hardcover book 2 and 3?

Reinhold Wuerzner

Took me a minute to realize who Bowu was, but they all look so good! Yin is very lovely, Wa Shi is cute, Chunky and Pi Pa look so peaceful together, Ri Zu sending the little heart to Bi De is adorable, Bi De himself looks like a soft ball of fluff, even Ba Be, looks stoic and noble. The humans all look great too!!

BlueMage_VT

It's s basic marketing tactic. you reduce the price of the first book to lower the mental resistance to buying that first book of a new series. After that readers will be invested and more willing buy follow up books full price. Sometimes the first book will even be at cost to encourage new readers

Mr Fox

Didn't even see that until you mentioned it.

Splutty

I love Ri Zu sending Bi De a tiny little heart. XD

Empty Shelf

Just wondering, why do hardcover book 2 and 3 cost so much more than book 1? :/

Konrad2

Right, they only knew Vajra was awake after her grand entrance at Zhuye's naming celebration (v4c9: A Farmer's Son, May 7 2023).

Randall Brynsvold

Vajra joined Fa Ram during book 2 but by this point they don’t know she’s a spirit beast.

Road Trips

Definitely Bowu. See "Character Sheets and Sketches." from August 31, 2022, and "Character Sketches" from May 30, 2022.

Randall Brynsvold

Didn't vajra come after he was born?

ForverSOlo

Looks great! I'm looking for Vajra to see if I can find her. i imagine she'd be tiny!

Benji

His breed inspiration is the "Highland coo". https://www.tiktok.com/@ascotseyeview/video/7229774429021097243

Randall Brynsvold

Jeezus, just reading about Tianlan's Breaking was bad enough without pics. The left half of that pic just straight pushes it into outright horrifying.

Benjamin Lawton

Never imagined him with fur but damn. The fluffiest guy to ever cultivate. He'll be raking in the ladies soon.

Harish

Fits Vol-4 perfectly

Harish

Isnt Ri Zu a bit small for a City Rat?

Colin C

I think that's Biyu.

Monkeytoster

Yipee 🎉

Aaron

How long do yall think a couple weeks is? Cause im really excited for it to start up again

Sam a Goat

Thanks. I figured I was forgetting someone.

BossDawg

He stays out in all weather, which usually results in fluffy oxen.

Laura Hemly

I am pretty sure it's Bowu.

Orims

Tsuu is amazing, as always! Love it -- every single character is perfectly portrayed, down to tiny Ri Zu in her green robe (on Mei Mei's shoulder -- took me a moment to find her!)

Laura Hemly

Looks great but kinda confused is Lin there twice? As rabbit with Tigu or is the person Miantiao her? Else who is he wrapped around?

BossDawg

Excited for the kindle, hardback, and audio version

Rebel Rebel

soon actually. May.

Casualfarmer

His mini Afro is the source of his power

Sean Ulrich

He cultivates fluffiness to help his cultivation of being spartan.

David Brewer

Fantastic!!!

Shawn Banks

Awesome! Any update on when we might be seeing the volume 3 hardcover?

Aaron

Tho I always feel sad rereading through the breaking of Tianlan chapters

WarStrider72

First thing that came to mind: wow, Babe is fluffy

Sean Ulrich

Beautiful

WarStrider72

This is awesome

Mackienze Robinson

Cute and sad at the same time

Nodlehs

God damn.... Tsuu keeps it on point. 💯
