Xueting C. Ni (author and editor) leads a lively chat with Alice Poon (Hong Kong–born wuxia novelist), Tao Wong (litRPG and xianxia writer), Amélie Wen Zhao (Chinese xianxia–inspired novelist), Nghi Vo (novella specialist), and Wesley Chu (wuxia-influenced bestselling author). They compare wuxia and xianxia, trace diaspora and pop-culture roots, debate web-novel trends, and talk authenticity, adaptations, and the genre’s global spread.
