Dear Reader,
Thank you for stepping into the swirling cosmos of Paradox Star. This story began as a spark — a question that wouldn't let go: What if someone else was reincarnated into the Swallowed Star universe… but with powers that could bend the story itself?
I've always admired the scale and ambition of Swallowed Star — its layered cultivation systems, its interstellar politics, and the relentless rise of Luo Feng. But I wanted to explore what happens when a second protagonist enters that world. Someone not meant to be there. Someone who doesn't just fight monsters… but rewrites fate.
This novel is my tribute to the original, but also a challenge to it. You'll meet familiar faces — Luo Feng, Hong, Thunder God, Babata — but through the eyes of someone who walks beside them, not behind them. Jin Mu, our Paradox Wielder, isn't here to replace Luo Feng. He's here to protect the timeline… even if it means being erased from it.
I've worked hard to make this story feel immersive, unpredictable, and emotionally resonant. Every chapter is crafted to exceed 500 words, with original lore, high stakes, and a touch of cosmic mystery. My goal is simple: to make you forget this was written by My — and instead feel like you're reading the work of someone who loves this universe as much as you do.
If you've enjoyed the journey so far, I'd love to hear from you. Your comments, theories, and feedback help shape the future chapters. And if you're just discovering this story — welcome. The stars are waiting.
